Indian Epics, Week 1

I absolutely enjoy learning about far off cultures and regions and that's one of the reasons why this class appealed to me so strongly. I am also an international security studies major with a focus on the Middle East and when I stumbled across this course I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to learn about a country and its culture that boarders so closely to the region I am studying. Over the course of my studies I have had little to do with India and I hope to understand a little more about the regions history and religion. As for Sita Sings the Blues, I must say it was rather interesting. I was a little confused by what I was actually watching at the beginning but found the rest to be quite informative.
