The purpose of this module is to explore what is often referred to in the media as ‘New India’. The focus of the module is how changing human processes are influencing the transformation of India as a place and how India is representing itself and being represented in the wider world.
Changes to India’s society and economy are often influenced by values and attitudes different to the students’ own. The module encourages students to explore India’s diverse and multicultural population and how this diversity is linked to inequality in wealth and quality of life.
