“I recently started the M.A. in India Studies at O.P. Jindal Global University and it is absolutely mind blowing! You're introduced to ancient literature, history, and so much more. If you think Greece had it all, India is far more ancient and just as developed as the Romans—civilisation, cities, public works, administration.
Sanskrit, the great ancient Indo-Aryan language of India and the liturgical language of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, is a key source for many modern languages, with deep links to both Latin and Greek. Yet all this has been largely ignored in Western histories...And today? India is racing ahead! This is a brilliant programme where you learn about India in all its colour and complexity, taught by Indian professors who brim with enthusiasm for a country that is already a world power.”

“I just completed the first term of the M.A. India Studies programme, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. As an American who has utterly fallen in love with India, first through yoga and then through travel, I was looking for a way to broaden my knowledge of the country's history, politics, economics, and culture, and the curriculum in this programme is precisely what I was after. It's well-rounded, engaging, and I've found it all quite fascinating.
It's taught by faculty who are enthusiastic about their subjects and about sharing their love of them in this programme, and they're supported by staff who are genuinely helpful. I've really enjoyed meeting the cohort of students from all over the world. I already feel that I have learned a great deal and will look at India in a different light on my next visit. By the time I finish the programme, I know that the depth of my knowledge and understanding of India—where it has been and where it's going—will be truly remarkable, though never complete.”

“I joined the first batch of the M.A. in India Studies at O.P. Jindal Global University after exploring many options in India that could support my social start-up in development engineering. This online programme fits perfectly and brings more than just theory.
In the first trimester, we explored Indian history, politics, and philosophies like Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism through real conversations with great professors. They make complex ideas clear and easy to relate to for anyone. My classmates are from all over the world and share many perspectives.
The programme is helping me find the right business case and the exact social issue I want to focus on for my start-up. If you want to connect academic study with real impact, especially future social entrepreneurs, this programme stands out.”

“The M.A. in India Studies programme at the O.P. Jindal Global University has been such a unique and eye-opening experience for me. I joined the programme wanting to learn more about India's history, culture, philosophy, politics, and international relations.
The faculty are greatly knowledgeable, and their ability to make complex subjects accessible has made the classes both engaging and inspiring. I also greatly value the supportive environment created by the staff. The vibrant exchange of perspectives within the cohort, by interacting with classmates from across the globe, has broadened my own outlook about India and made the journey even more rewarding.
This programme has strengthened my understanding of India's past, present, and future, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with a genuine curiosity about India.”

“I have been associated with India for a long time and I am currently living and working in Delhi. With more than eight years of experience here, I felt I knew India well...but I wanted to deepen my understanding of this wonderful country and its culture. When I discovered the M.A. in India Studies programme online, I knew it was the right course for me.
So far, I have taken three courses and one of them also focused on philosophy and religion. All have been excellent, but the philosophy and religion course, in particular, made me feel like I was reaching the very core of the Indian heart.
The programme's online format is a huge advantage. The video lectures are well-designed, and I can study at my own pace, something very valuable for professionals like me. Some assessments were challenging, but that was also the fun part. Returning to academics after 20–30 years, writing a short thesis was truly exciting and has motivated me to keep learning and developing.
Whether you are a student, job seeker, or professional anywhere in the world, this program offers a concentrated, one-year journey that immerses you deeply in India's history, culture, and much more. I strongly recommend it to anyone interested.”
