Course Description
This course is designed to introduce and help students understand the
changes and continuities in the lives of women in South Asia from a
historical perspective. Using gender as a lens of examining the past,
we will examine how politics of race, class, caste and religion
affected and continue to impact women in South Asian countries,
primarily in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. We will reflect
upon current debates within South Asian women's history in order to
examine some of the issues and problems that arise in re-writing the
past from a gendered perspective and these are found in primary
documents, secondary readings, films, newspaper articles, and the
Internet.
