Course Overview
The Indian Culture & History online course is a 15 weeks program offered by Swayam. In this course, Students can obtain program credits through a written examination at the student's Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth or the examination centre designated by it. The credits will be transferred by Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeeth to their institution which can be combined in their exam results.
This Indian Culture & History training by Swayam majorly covers the indian culture because culture is the consciousness element of any nation, without culture any nation is like a lifeless body and history is the awakening element of any nation. Unless we are able to get acquainted with our culture and our history, we will not be able to define the nationality of our nation in the true sense.
The aim of the Indian Culture & History syllabus is that such elements should be included which are capable of defining the Indianness of India in the true sense. That is why the topics that have been included under Indian culture include Vedic introduction, introduction to Puranas, introduction to Ashtakavya, information about Ramayana, Mahabharata and a special introduction to Indian philosophy.
