- Description/content
- The Master's in Modern Indian Studies (http://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/131812.html) is an interdisciplinary programme focusing on economic, political, social, and cultural developments in modern India. In the programme, students seek to address a number of fundamental questions about modern India, including:
• How does India’s cultural and religious diversity affect societal developments?
• How does the democratic system address issues of social inequality?
• How can the dynamics of economic development in a pluralistic society be understood?
As looking for answers to profound questions such as these requires an interdisciplinary approach, there are five research groups at CeMIS:
• Modern Indian History
• Development Economics
• Indian Religions
• State and Democracy in Modern India
• Society and Culture in Modern India
Students wishing to develop a stronger thematic specialisation can choose a study focus on one of the following:
• Anthropology of Power (https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/anthropology+of+power/652153.html)
• Historical Sociology (https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/historical+sociology+/655416.html)
• Development Economics of India (https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/development+economics+of+india/655414.html)
The focus will be printed on the MA certificate.
