Students posing in front the the Taj Mahal

The Program in South Asian Studies offers students the opportunity to study the political, economic, social, cultural and religious institutions and practices of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Considering South Asia as a region and not just a collection of nation-states, the Program also encompasses study of local and global circuits of connection and the South Asian diasporas.
