Southern Asia Studies

About

Nearly a quarter of the world's people live in the geographic area known as South Asia, making it one of the most densely-populated places on the planet. Representing a multiplicity of religions, cultures, ethnicities, and languages, this diverse group's interaction over thousands of years is a rich, complex story with lessons for today and the future.

By considering South Asia's experiences of colonialism, post-colonialism, political activism, multiculturalism, and economics, you will enrich your understanding of those dynamics in Canada too. As you examine South Asian influences on the West, including yoga, meditation, and Buddhist concepts, you will challenge your own ideas and discover alternative worldviews.

Explore Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism, and South Asian expressions of Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and Sufism as you discover or enhance your knowledge of languages including Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Tibetan, and Sanskrit. Through Concordia International, go on exchange in a South Asian country. In Montreal, experience South Asian culture, food, temples and mosques, while connecting with members of the South Asian community.
