Two New Courses: Vaishnavism and Colonial Hinduism

Vaishnavism course
September 20 2022

Over the Summer our Course Development Board has worked hard to give us two new courses for the upcoming term: Vaishnavism (by Dr Måns Broo) and Colonial Hinduism by (Dr Amiya Sen).

Vaishnavism

Vaishnavism is one of the major denominations of Hinduism and has had an enormous impact on the development of Hinduism in general.

The course begins with a history of Vaishnavism from its earliest roots in the Vedas to its developments in South and North India, before moving on to consider Vaishnava practice and some of the forms that Vaishnavism takes today.

Throughout the course we allow the traditions to speak for themselves through Vaishnava texts.

Colonial Hinduism

Hinduism has a remarkable ability to adapt and renew in the face of changing times. One of the most challenging of times in Hinduism’s long history was the period of British colonial rule.

In this new course, Colonial Hinduism, we see how much India and Hinduism changed over this period; the role of the colonial state in these changes; and Hindu responses.
