Course objectives and outcomes
The objective of this course is to familiarize the students with the branch of modern physics.
Atomic Physics remains a key component of physics, both because of its fundamental importance to the understanding of many aspects of modern physics and also because of the exciting new developments that have occurred in this field. The developments in nuclear physics have affected our worldview at ends, the microscopic and macroscopic. With dimensions of the order of 10 m and energies of the order of several   MeV involved in nuclear phenomena, the entire structure of classical mechanics falls apart.

Course Objective:

Course Objective: This course acquaints students with the constitutional design of states structures and institutions, and their actual working over time. The Indian Constitution accommodates conflicting impulses (of liberty and justice, territorial decentralization and a strong union, for instance) within itself. The course traces the embodiment of some of these conflicts in constitutional provisions, and shows how these have played out in political practice.

It further encourages a study of state institutions in their mutual interaction, and in interaction with the larger extra-constitutional environment.

Course objective: Actual politics in India diverges quite significantly from constitutional legal rules. An understanding of the political process thus calls for a different mode of analysis - that offered by political sociology. This course maps the working of ‘modern’ institutions, premised on the existence of an individuated society, in a context marked by communitarian solidarities, and their mutual transformation thereby. It also familiarizes students with the working of the Indian state, paying attention to the contradictory dynamics of modern state power.
