The program will emphasize this pluralism in each course: in Comparative Individual Liberties by looking at issues of gender, race and speech; in Comparative Jurisprudence by looking at the interplay between Hindu law and secular law; in Comparative Criminal Procedure by exploring how India's culture has helped to shape India's criminal code; and in International Business Transactions by examining how economic reforms play out against the backdrop of ancient India.
