Very Good Course which primarily focuses on India's First and Second Generation Economic Reforms.

I would personally recommend following the course 'Importance of India'after that of 'Contemporary India" as the latter provides a solid introduction to University of OHIO based former course.

I had to lop off one star because the course content tended to stray off limits in Weeks 6 and 7;

To be honest, Go straight to the test after completing Week 5; which i view as the end of this course.

Anyhow, if you want to learn about India, it is a good course. However, I would recommend the one from The Ohio State University ('The importance of India")

Very nice course with good chronological description of events. good links for additional reading. I feel it could have been a bit more elaborate or more in depth.
