Description of the WEU
Populated by more than a billion inhabitants, integrated into the globalized economy, equipped with nuclear weapons, India has become in more than one way one of the great powers of the world today, while it was at the time of its independence a developing country with precarious cohesion and an uncertain future. To better understand today's India, the course aims to see how this young country is based on a very ancient culture dating back to the prehistoric remains of the Indus civilization. After having addressed the political, literary and religious aspects of ancient India, the course shows how the establishment of foreign dominations (Turkish, Afghan, Mughal, British among others) on the one hand favored the diffusion of Indian culture to across the world, and also, paradoxically, created the conditions for the emergence of an Indian national identity. The course also attempts to place India in the regional context of South Asia, taking into account the other modern states resulting from the British Indian Empire, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh in particular, which are also the heirs of an Indian culture taken in a broad sense.
