We will consider classical topics such as caste, religion, non-violence, visual culture and urban-rural divide. The second half will be devoted to discussing contemporary topics such as the social consequences of market liberalization, urban renewal and rural transformation, consumption and fashion as arenas for identity negotiations, visual culture, the cultural impulses of the IT industry and biometric technology.
