B.A. History
Core / Honours Course
Overview:
History, like other disciplines is a growing subject and perspectives and interpretations tend
to change with new theories, new methods of analysis, availability of new sources and
changing contexts. The last five decades have seen the growth of new areas of historical
study such as environment, women, urbanization, population, agrarian system, trade and a
host of other areas. It is important therefore, to incorporate the new areas of historical interest
in the syllabus.
The three year B.A. History Honours /Core programme provides a wide range of ideas and
concepts that cut across disciplinary boundaries. The syllabus reflects the changes that have
emerged in the discipline of history, with many areas of research gaining academic
recognition. The courses have been designed to provide a critical understanding of not only
the Indian polity, society, economy and culture, but also of historical developments outside
India. The syllabus also incorporates courses on the history of Jharkhand as there is growing
realization that the study of history is incomplete without the study of regional history.
Objectives:
Upon completing this programme the students should be able to :
-
understand the political, economic, social, cultural, intellectual and religious changes
in the past and their relation to the historical context of the period under study.
Demonstrate an understanding of historical problems and debates.
Explain large-scale and long-term historical developments of regional, national and
global scope.
Develop historical (subject specific) skills including the ability of critical and logical
thinking.
