Answer:

In historical terms, nationalism is not in itself progressive or reactionary, secular or

communal, democratic or authoritarian, or anything else that can be expressed in simple

categories of better or worse. It all depends upon its specific character, its program and

leadership, and above all else, its concrete historical context. Nationalism in India before

1947 was indeed progressive, but under a different, more advanced class leadership it could

have been radical, even revolutionary, because it aimed at resolving the basic structural

contradictions concentrated in imperialism, whose resolution alone could clear the path for

the Indian people's continuing struggle for a better future.1

Several parallel movements made efforts to achieve the goal of independence of our nation.

The nationwide movements launched and led followed a distinct pursuit of strategy,

concession granted to the Muslims under the said Act set a fertile ground for rivalries and

antagonism among the communities, Hindu, Muslim and Sikh. The communal tension among

the communities was not a new phenomenon. There had been the communal tension for

many years before among Hindus and Muslims which was precipitated by way of diplomatic

manoeuvres on part of foreign and native forces, a nexus formed among elite, intellectual and

landlord classes- both foreign and native, as well as by way of policy of divide and rule of the

British. Even though communal bitterness remained subdued for intermittent intervals for the
