Students must complete one long research paper of approximately 6-8 pages and utilize 3-5 academic sources on some issue involving topics related to the course. In the term paper, students will be graded on clarity, style, and the use of appropriate evidence to defend an articulated argument. Purely narrative papers- which tell a story rather than analyze an issue- will receive poor grades. 
Course Description
This course uses cinema to explore the portrayal of contemporary South Asia. It traces the development of South Asia through film and highlights the changing images of the region since the 1950s. In addition to outlining the political history of South Asia, themes of nation-building, political culture, corruption, inequality, and social tension based on gender, caste, religion, region, and language, as well as transnational/global South Asian cinema, will be addressed. This course will be relevant to students interested in examining the social, cultural, economic, and political forces that shaped the development of post-colonial South Asia from independence to the present day through the medium of one visual medium – cinema.
-An understanding of the uses of cinema as a primary source for understanding social, cultural, and political change in South Asia. 
– To understand the changing relationship between cinema and the broader society through the period
– Awareness of the primary historiographical debates and themes in the study of post-colonial South Asia 
-Trace the creation of the idea of a nation through films like Mother India& and Bombay, and explore the positioning of culture, gender, and state in South Asian movies. 
-Consider films critically from the perspective of history and film studies and the historical and cultural context in which they have been created.
