This course is the second part of a two-quarter course sequence that examines the scientific evidence emerging in contemporary times, in relation to the popular narratives on the history of the Hindu civilization, logically and rationally. The course explores the deep history of India and the Hindu civilization, starting from ancient Indian prehistory, and examines the best evidence available for what is normally omitted from the historical narratives about Hinduism and India in most school and college textbooks.
The course focuses on the significant omissions in the western-reconstructed history of Hindus, which is nevertheless presented as uncontestable historical truth. It aims to expose the students to original sources and efforts to reconstruct a more authentic narrative about Hindu History, build the foundations used to challenge the existing narratives, and present an evidence-based alternative narrative for the deep history of Hindus.
The course will be multi-disciplinary and draw from various original sources and curated content from published research papers in various disciplines, as well as classic textbooks by various authors. The course will cover diverse fields such as Philosophy, Medicine, Math, Astronomy, Music, Technology, Arts, Sciences, Textiles, Metallurgy, Architecture, and many others. It will also explore available evidence for the outflow of knowledge from India to the world, from ancient through current times.
The course is for anyone who wants a rational, logical understanding of ancient Hindu history, regardless of their background. The instructor will provide a strong understanding of the evidence from these areas, and how that contributes to a strong, bold, inspiring, factual new narrative on the Hindu civilization.
The course will be divided into two terms. The first term will cover the topics that lay a strong foundation for the antiquity of Hindus, and the second term will address the knowledge systems of the Hindus. The class structure will be a combination of supplement classroom instruction with discussions and self-study each week. Quizzes will evaluate students’ understanding of the material, and they will either write a final paper on a topic of their choice from within the course syllabus or take a final exam at the end of each term.
In summary, this course aims to provide a more authentic narrative of Hindu history, challenge the existing narratives, and offer evidence-based alternatives. It covers diverse fields and draws from various original sources and curated content from published research papers in various disciplines, making it accessible to anyone interested in ancient Hindu history.
