This
course discusses examples of innovations in digital humanities (DH) efforts
across India while theorizing disparate challenges and its negotiations. It
examines DH projects that have spanned private and public efforts,
institutionally sanctioned lab-work, and crowd-sourced programmes of public
significance and shows how collectively they demonstrate the potential paths of
DH in India.
