Rise of Modern india

Great Britain had colonized the country of India during the 1700's. Indian nationalistic movements, such as ones led by the Indian National Congress, had made attempts at self- rule but had never been completely successful. The great proponent of a free India, Mohandas K. Gandhi, was instrumental in the Indian Nationalist Movement. Known as the Mahatma, or the Great Soul, Gandhi forced change and an end to British imperialism through a strict policy of non-violence, or passive resistance.

Examples of his civil disobedience included boycotts such as the Salt March, and hunger strikes. He also forced change at home by attempting to do away with the Hindu caste system. The rigid caste system separated religious and political classes from lower classes of laborers and outcasts with no hope at social mobility. Violent episodes, such as the Amritsar Massacre, plagued India's movement to be come free. Great Britain, weakened by its efforts in World War II, finally conceded to Indian nationalist demands in 1948

Despite the influence of Gandhi, India fell into disorder. Hindu people wanted an all-Hindu state and Muslims, led by the Muslim League wanted a separate state. Gandhi was assassinated because of this conflict. Eventually, Pakistan was formed as a separate Muslim state. Therefore, the strength and will of the common people both achieved Indian independence and tore India apart. The story of Mahatma Gandhi and Indian nationalism is one of history's greatest ironies

Indian democracy: Jawaharlal Nehru- tries to modernize and westernize India Constitution prohibits caste discrimination New economic development has helped propel India to global wealth Attendance at one primary school in Nepal reflects caste discrimination

Indian democracy: Jawaharlal Nehru’s daughter Indira Gandhi is the first female prime minister of India 15 years she rules. She negotiated peace in India Pakistani war of 1971 resulting in creation of Bangladesh Under her, India gained nuclear power (to counter China’s nuclear power) Agricultural production finally resulted in a surplus of food
