Methodists to teach Hinduism

Indiana, USA - Prestigious U.S. DePauw University will offer a new course called "Modern Hinduism" in which students will study the rise of Hinduism from the colonial period to modern day. "The main objective is to encourage an understanding of the embedded nature of modern Hinduism within the historical matrices of culture, society, politics and economics in South Asia," the University said in a statement after the course was approved by its faculty. 

DePauw is a prestigious, private national liberal arts college with a Methodist heritage founded in 1837 and located in Greencastle, Indiana.
