Understanding India and Japan
The theme-based course about India and Japan will begin with the arrival of Buddhism in Japan over a thousand years ago and would then introduce Indian women writing on Japan, Japanese support for Indian freedom struggle, the creation of modern Indian community in Nishikasai, the rise of Suzuki in India and the giving of Japanese ODA to India. The course will end with the popularity of Japanese language in major cities of India. The course is designed for B level students to develop their presentation skills and gain confidence in presenting their ideas clearly and boldly before others. Students will have the opportunity to choose their own project themes connected to any of the major topics discussed in class. It is a great course to take if you are interested to present your ideas clearly.
