Learning Objectives

The primary objective of this course is to familiaries the students with the basic issues in
Indian Philosophy. The course will give a hand on knowledge of various Fundamental
concepts and Theories to enable them to learn the higher concepts and Theories of different
Philosophical schools of Indian Philosophy

Learning outcomes
Indian Philosophy teaches critical thinking, close reading, clear writing, and logical analysis.
It develops the tools of logic and reason to analyse the ways in which the individual experiences
the Universe. It guides the student to understand the language we use to describe the world,
and our place within it. Different areas of philosophy are distinguished by the questions they
ask. The most important reason to study philosophy is that it is of enormous and enduring
interest. Philosophy is important, but it is also enormously enjoyable in which students are
provided with the tools and the opportunity to develop and express their own philosophical
views.

• Gain an understanding of the different theoretical views on the emergence and
development of nationalism in India and the tensions that existed between them
• Demonstrate knowledge of the historical trajectory of the development of the nationalist
movement in India, with specific focus on its different phases
• Understand the contribution of various social movements in the anti-colonial struggle
• Demonstrate awareness of the history of partition and independence
