Abstract	The purpose of this syllabus is to help government personnel assigned to South Asia, or to positions dealing with South Asian affairs, to acquire a basic knowledge of the area and some understanding of the motivational dynamics of the people. It is not intended to serve as an operational briefing nor to take its place. The goal is the facilitation of operations, which gives it a slightly different focus from strictly academic study programs, where the ends of pure scholarship and research are primarily served. It deals with the historical roots of problems, issues and attitudes, but with a view of their relevance to current processes and events. Each section of the syllabus is divided into three parts. The first, an introduction, is intended only to serve as a framework for the readings, and to point up a few of the highlights of the subject treated. This is followed by a set of questions to directively stimulate reading and analysis, and to facilitate self-evaluation of progress. The third part is an annotated reading list. The leading entries have been selected from the current literature for their relative brevity as well as for their quality in covering the themes and questions advanced in the text. With this design, the syllabus is intended for use both by beginning area students and those with prior experience. It can be used for tutorials or self-instruction. Related documents are SO 005 926, SO 005 913, and SO 005 914. (Author/OPH)
