Spring 2021 - Prof Lal is very intense but is also genuine and concerned about student learning. There's a bit of reading, like 150 or so pages a week. Lectures are pretty interesting, but focus on ideas and concepts with very little concrete discussion of Indian history. Exams aren't especially difficult and are take-home.
