Ayesha Jalal Modern South Asia: History, Culture, Political Economy

Bounded by the Himalayas and the Indian Ocean the vast South Asian subcontinent contains a teeming population that constitutes a fifth of humanity. Boasting one of the world's oldest civilizations it has had a tumultuous modern history. In the living museum of the subcontinent's history there are paradoxes galore. A common heritage and environment notwithstanding, South Asia presents a picture of social complexity, economic disparity, cultural diversity and political heterogeneity. This course will examine the formation and the shifting contours of the rich mosaic of modern South Asia.

A semester's study permits an analytical rather than a comprehensive survey of the society, economy and politics of the subcontinent. Beginning with a rapid overview of India's premodern and early modern history, the bulk of the course will concentrate on the changes and continuities during two centuries of British rule from the mideighteenth to the midtwentieth centuries. A short concluding segment will be devoted to postindependence developments.
Primarily a lecture course, time will be available at the end of each class for questions and discussion. It is important to read ahead in order to participate in some of the major debates in South Asian history and historiography. The following books have been ordered for purchase at the College Bookstore:

Required:
1) Sugata Bose and Ayesha Jalal, Modern South Asia: History, Culture, Political Economy
2) C.A.Bayly, Indian Society and the Making of the British Empire
3) Sugata Bose and Ayesha Jalal (eds.), Nationalism, Democracy and Development: State and Politics in India

Recommended:
1) Saadat Hasan Manto, Black Milk
2) Salman Rushdie, Midnight's Children

3) Kalpana Bardhan (ed.), Of Women, Outcastes, Peasants, and Rebels

Equally important are the other required readings on reserve in the Tisch Library and posted on Trunk in the readings folder under the lecture headings. It is essential that you do the readings before each class. The requirements for successful completion of the course include: class attendance and participation (10%), in class midterm exam (25%) on October 22, a fourpage review of a literary work chosen in consultation with me (15%) due on November 18 and a final take home exam (50%). My office hours are on Mondays between 1:15 and 2:45 pm and Tuesdays between 1:30 pm and 3:00 pm in 009 East Hall. I can also be reached via email at ayesha.jalal@tufts.edu.

The Terrorist at My Table

...How does Imtiaz darker use language and structure in “the terrorist at my table” to demonstrate the theme of conflict? In the poem “the terrorist at my table” the theme of conflict is demonstrated profusely. In the poem I believe that conflict is represented in 2 main ways. The first is media, throughout the poem media is portrayed as having a very important role in war. The second would be personal feeling towards war, how the lady or mad in the poem copes with the idea of conflict. The first line of the poem “I slice sentences” straight away could show how all the time the media are chopping up stories, embellishing them or cutting them down to fit the target audience rather than give people the cold facts of way. The word “slice” is a very fluid motion, which could represent the media manipulating the news to make it less harsh. The second stanza is where the reader starts to become aware of the message Imtiaz Dharker is trying to show, that war and conflict have become such a normal part of day to day life. “At my back, the news is the same”. The phrase at my back shows how to person in the poem is unfazed by the news and carries on with whatever they were already doing, the average person has become numb to the idea of death. On the other hand it could also show the lack of awareness and understanding we have about what is actually going on, which links back to the idea of the news manipulating stories and sheltering the rest of the world from the horrors that occur...

Kurdistan

...Can There Be a Kurdistan The Kurdish people of southwest Asia represent one of the largest ethnic groups in the world with no sovereign state to call their own. With the breakup of the Ottoman Empire after World War I, the desire to create an independent Kurdish state has intensified and created conflicts between the Kurds and the modern states of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. The Kurds’ aspiration of creating a new ethnic state in the Middle East has only served to further destabilize an already unstable region. But to prevent future turmoil, the creation of a new nation-state could be a necessary precaution. The dream of a Kurdish homeland is an old one, but after thousands of years, whether or not it can be achieved remains far from certain. The Kurdish people represent a distinct ethnic population within the Middle East. Unlike most of their surrounding neighbors, they are of neither of Turkic nor Arabic descent (Global Security, “Kurdish Conflict”). They are ethnically and linguistically distant relatives of the neighboring Persians, but have for millennia have maintained a unique cultural identity inhabiting a area from the Zagros Mountains to the eastern Taurus Mountains and part of the Mesopotamian plain (Black). Though they can trace their origins in the region back over 25 centuries to the Empire of the Medes, the Kurds can claim only brief and scattered moments of independence (Global Security, “Kurdish Conflict”). One such moment occurred relatively...

Bayly cab1002@cam.ac.uk 1 The History of The Indian Subcontinent From The Late Eighteenth Century To The Present Day A fifth of the world's population lives in the Indian subcontinent. While today the region’s place in the global world order is widely recognised, this is in fact only the most recent chapter in a longer history. This paper offers an understanding of the part played by the Indian subcontinent role and its people in the making of the modern world.

Feasibility of New Provinces in Pakistan

...Khan 1 Muhammad Adil khan Argumentative essay March 13, 2016 The feasibility of new provinces in Pakistan? Since the inception of Pakistan August 14, 1947 Pakistan has been facing the dilemma of provincialism. Though Pakistan was achieved on distinct ideology of Islam but it did not truly keep on its unique identity and the separation of East Pakistan in 1971 was a severe blow. This differentiation led to the call of provincialism which is still a debate on many forums. The idea of creating new province is an old one. For years different ethnic group have been seeking the creation of their own provinces and for years these voices have been ignored democratically, politically ormilitarily. First of all it is the constitution which is a big hurdle in the creation of new province. Article 239(4) of the constitution says “A bill to amend the constitution which would have the effect of altering the limits of a province shall not be presented to the president for assent unless it has been passed by the provincial assembly of that province by the votes of not less than two thirds of its total membership”. (Butt, 2012).It is a clear indication that the constitution is not in favor of new provinces. A two third majority of a province would never accept to limit their boundaries for the sake of a new province to be created. But why have there been cries for new province since inception of Pakistan? From the very start Pakistan was deprived of its true Khan 2 leadership,...

Impact of Target in India

...IMPACT OF TARGET IN INDIA Prepared for Richard Thomas, CEO Target, Minneapolis, Minnesota Prepared by Bhumi Gandhi Senior Research Consultant Target, Chicago, Illinois November 22, 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Target Corporation has decided to expand their business to India. The study was authorized by the CEO of Target when all other crew of the company approved for expansion business to India. The CEO of Target Corporation requested an evidence to show the positive impact of expansion. Our conclusion that Target will have positive impact in India is based on scholarly articles, cultural books and research. In order to achieve success in India, the company will have to consider these aspects of the culture: * Social customs: Target needs to adapt various cultural, religion and taste preferences. * Family life: Big quantities will be sold much faster as the basic building block of Hindu society is the joint or extended family. * Religion and Folk belief: Religion has a huge impact on the daily life of almost everyone in India. Business have to holidays on holy festivals of India. * Economic Institutions: Employees must get paid a monthly salary. Target has to compete with “Kirana” stores that sell groceries and food to consumers at a low price. On the basis of these findings, it is recommended that Target needs to offer products not only at a lower price but with good customer service. Target Corporation has to avoid selling beef...
