Introduction

The South Asian studies program examines the history, culture, and politics of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Traditionally South Asia is presented as a living culture, a viable way of life for millions for over 3,000 years, and a source of inspiration to other parts of Asia for 2,000 years. Modern studies emphasize the history and development of South Asia’s political, cultural and social institutions, the nature of the economy and the significance of class and ideology in the modern dynamics of continuity and change.
