Description
About the Course
The course is intended to provide students with a basic guide to the history of Christianity in North-East India since the signing of the Treaty of Yandaboo and the establishment of the British rule. It will focus on diverse aspects of the history and culture of each of the seven states of the region, and the subsequent decline of Dharmic belief systems and cultures of the people with the rise of Christianity. The spread of Christianity was also marked by the rise of separatist movements in almost every state in due course of time. In this context, has there been any relationship between the Church and the unending insurgency in the North-East? What went wrong in the post-Independence era that led one state after the other to resort to a path of violence and seek secession from Bharat? What has been the nature of the conflict in the North-East? Is it political, religious, or ethnic; or, a mix of all of them? This course intends to address these questions and many more with respect to the Hindu civilization and culture of North-East India, the rise of Christianity, and insurgent movements in the North-East. It is also intended to equip students with certain basic skills including textbook reading, seminar presentations based on specific topics related to the North-East, and essay writing.
