Course Introduction:
It brings together the ideas, innovation and achievements of the great world thinkers and leaders of contemporary times for the students to learn and benefit from. In studying the selections, the students will get to discuss and debate a wide range of topics—from academic disciplines, such as philosophy, history, sciences, psychology, literature, performing arts and theatre to social and cultural issues and much more. This will provide the students with a window into a critical understanding of the globalized world. The personalities selected in this course are indicative, and additions or changes can be made according to the choice of the teachers, giving them a leeway to adapt the course to their own teaching methods and pedagogic requirements. Approximately four selections from each category need to be studied during the course. A typical course would include an extract from the life story/work/speech/personal correspondence/biography etc., of these personalities, an annotated description of the context of the personality, his/her work and contribution to humanity.
