Prof. Santhosh Abraham · IIT Madras

About

This course examines the historical events that aimed to free the Indian subcontinent from British colonial control, particularly from the mid-nineteenth century to 1947. This course will start with a discussion on the emergence of the British Raj in India and the early Indian responses in the form of civil, peasant and tribal resistances and uprisings against colonialism. The major strength of the course is the examination of economic criticisms of British rule, the birth of Indian nationalism, and the active phase of the Indian national movement till independence.

After the course, the students will get familiarised with modern India's socio-economic and political history. Students will be exposed to various colonial ideologies and reforms introduced during the British colonial period and the Indian responses. More importantly, the students will also appreciate the significance of resistance and national struggle for freedom.
