B.A. History

Core / Honours Course

Overview:

History, like other disciplines is a growing subject and perspectives and interpretations tend

to change with new theories, new methods of analysis, availability of new sources and

changing contexts. The last five decades have seen the growth of new areas of historical

study such as environment, women, urbanization, population, agrarian system, trade and a

host of other areas. It is important therefore, to incorporate the new areas of historical interest

in the syllabus.

The three year B.A. History Honours /Core programme provides a wide range of ideas and

concepts that cut across disciplinary boundaries. The syllabus reflects the changes that have

emerged in the discipline of history, with many areas of research gaining academic

recognition. The courses have been designed to provide a critical understanding of not only

the Indian polity, society, economy and culture, but also of historical developments outside

India. The syllabus also incorporates courses on the history of Jharkhand as there is growing

realization that the study of history is incomplete without the study of regional history.

Objectives:

Upon completing this programme the students should be able to :

- understand the political, economic, social, cultural, intellectual and religious changes

in the past and their relation to the historical context of the period under study.

- Demonstrate an understanding of historical problems and debates.

- Explain large-scale and long-term historical developments of regional, national and

global scope.

- Develop historical (subject specific) skills including the ability of critical and logical

thinking.

Programme Structure :

- The duration of the B.A. History (Honours/Core) Programme is three years divided

into six semesters.

- The first and second year of the academic session shall comprise of semester I, II, III,

and IV. In each of these semesters, there shall be two courses of 100 Marks (5 credits)

each in the core subject.

- The third year of the academic session shall comprise of Semester V and Semester VI.

In each of these semesters, there shall be four courses of 100 Marks (5 credits) each in
