Lecture 8 - Culture

We started with the remaining Classical Dances today after which we went on to discuss Indian Classical Music. Briefly touching its history, we went on to talk about major components and styles of North and South Indian Music. It was followed by a small introduction to Sanskrit Theatre. Lastly we covered half of the 'Literature' of India. We could over only major Vedic, Jaina and Buddhist canonical and non-canonical literature and Tamil literature partly. By then we had consumed available 3 hours of the day.

A handout was given today about the things to be done on your own. You should append that with the following topics - Scientific literature, Turko-Mongol literature, Foreign Accounts (Greco-Roman, Chinese, Arab, Persian, European).

Day after tomorrow we have a test. All the best.
