Learning Objectives
   
 The course aims to introduce the students to the foundational text of constitutional democracy in India - the Indian Constitution. By providing an overview of the socio-political context of its origin and its basic tenets, which provide the organizing framework for democracy in India, the course expects to bring historical insights in making the constitutional text comprehensible. The course traces the history of the Constitution both in the colonial legislations and in the declaration and reports produced in the course of the Indian National Movement. It focuses on the creation and the working of the Constituent Assembly as part of a transformative vision for independent India. The basic features of the Constitution form the core themes of the course introducing students to the philosophy behind them and the final form in which they were adopted in the Indian Constitution to make it a document for social revolution. The course aims at providing students with both a textual and a contextual introduction to the Indian Constitution.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the course, the students will demonstrate • Knowledge of the origin and contents of the Indian Constitution • Awareness of the rights and duties of the citizens and the obligations of the state • Familiarity with the functioning of constitutional governance in India and the division of power between different tiers of the government.

Learning Objectives
   
This course examines the paradoxes of contemporary globalisation. It has been crafted in a manner as to introduce to the students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds the complex multifaceted nature of the contemporary phenomenon of globalization. Students will learn about the evolution of globalization by examining whether globalization is a mere historical process, or, it is also a socio-cultural, politico-economic and, psychological phenomenon and, understand these through different conceptual frames. It then makes the students understand the debates that have been put forth for and against globalization. The course introduces the discourse regarding the Eurocentric formulations of globalization and the ways in which the non-European voices have historically been marginalized in the shaping of Western modernity. Students will also learn about the political, economic and cultural facets of globalization. As a political phenomenon, the course seeks to understand as to how globalization has impacted upon the functioning of the sovereignty of nation-states. In the realm of economy, it introduces the impact of time/space compression upon the macroeconomic structures of trade and finance as well as the structural transformation that information and communications technology has brought in the working of the global political economy. As a cultural phenomenon, the course also discusses the new global mobilizations in the form of global social movements, movements of people across borders and the political and economic impact of global epidemics
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to: 
• Understand the nature, significance, and principal debates in the literature on globalisation and the concept of globalization as both a historical process and, a socio-cultural phenomenon.
 • Study various approaches which will augment student's knowledge on international political economy.
 • Demonstrate basic knowledge of the interconnectedness of global issues, processes, and dynamics.
 • Develop insight into the alternative understanding of globalisation and various critical aspects related to it like who are the beneficiaries in this process. 
• Understand diverse global challenges like global migration and epidemics.
 • Learn the ways in which globalization holds promise for a better world and a developed world and, at the same time, understand how it is laden with deep-seated tendencies to engender strands of inequalities and spur erosion of local culture

Learning Objectives
   
The course attempts to bring together feminist theory and praxis by focussing on conceptual categories theorized by feminism and the mobilization of the feminist epistemology to focus on key concerns surrounding the everyday existence of women. This course would serve as the fundament introduction to the history of women’s movement with particular emphasis on the women’s movement in India. The course opens up the question of women’s agency, taking it beyond the question of women empowerment and locates women as radical social agents. It attempts to question the complicity of social structures and relations in preserving gender inequality. This is extended to cover new forms of precarious work and labour under the new economy

After completing this course, the students will be able to: 
• Understand the concept of patriarchy, feminism, gender, etc.
