Tutor: Wayne Weiler
The subcontinent of India is a fascinating study in great contrasts. From north to south and east to west one experiences a vast diversity of historical backgrounds, cultures, foods and religions. The main area we will focus on will be Hinduism which has over a million gods, a strict cast system, and complex religious practices. As usual, questions and discussions are encouraged. It is suggested that participants bring a notebook as not all information will be on the PowerPoints. Please note: this course will operate in Terms 1 and 3 in 2025.
