DSC 2: Ideas
and
Institutions in
Indian
Political
Thought
Course
Objective
This paper seeks
to
introduce students to certain broadly familiar terms that provide conceptual
and theoretical anchorage
to
social and political thought
of
ancient India. They explain the forms,
structure and nature
of
government. The students will be taught about the institutions which existed
and the broader norms, roles and responsibilities which guided the state and its important
apparatuses. As it
is
difficult to bring in all the diverse traditions and institutions, attempts have
been made to introduce those ones which have been most talked about. In this paper students are
expected
to
explore the complex sematic history
of
these tenns along with the conceptual shifts
that resulted in their multiple readings and scholarly Interpretations.
Course
Learning
Outcomes
• Students will be able to answer about the nature and fonn
of
statecraft that existed in
