compare the image of Bharat Mata with the image of Germania
Answers
Answer:
Answer:
The image of Germania was the symbol of German nation whereas; the image of Bharat Mata was the symbol of the Indian nation.
Both images inspired nationalists who worked very hard to unify their respective countries and to attain a liberal nation.
The image of Bharat Mata is different from that of Germania in the sense that the former reflects the religious basis of its making. The image of Bharat Mata painted by Abanindranath Tagore is bestowed with learning, food, clothing, and some ascetic quality also whereas the image of Germania was painted by Philip Veit in the year 1848.
Another painting of Bharat Mata in which we find Mata holding Trishul and standing beside a lion and an elephant – symbols of power and authority. This image appears to be more akin to the image of Germania where she holds a sword and a shield.
These images popularized the idea of sacrifice and devotion to the mother nation.
