India and Pakistan

The goal of India and Pakistan: The History Behind the Headlines, a day-long program for Maine teachers that took place on December 4, 2008, in Brunswick, Maine, was to provide an introduction to the complex web of politics, culture, and religion that has made South Asia both a volatile area and an emerging power. Rachel Sturman, Assistant Professor of History and Asian Studies at Bowdoin College, was the featured scholar. The recording is offered here in two parts: an overview from the beginning of the day and a question-and-answer session from the end.
