BA in South Asian Studies in Providence United States | Brown University

The rich cultural tapestry and interconnected pasts of South Asia's diverse traditions, faiths, tongues, and countries represent a significant field of study in our modern world. Though nations like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and their neighbors form a distinct geographical zone, the equally crucial diaspora populations from this region and their worldwide connections broaden our perspective of a historically deep yet evolving South Asia. South Asian Studies offers an interdisciplinary program where learners focus on specific historical eras (such as ancient, medieval, early modern, or present-day), geographic zones (like Bangladesh, Bengal, Maharashtra, North India, Pakistan, or South India), or academic fields (including anthropology, Hindi/Urdu, history, religion, or Sanskrit), while also exploring complementary disciplines such as economics, literature, philosophy, political science, or performing arts.
