Question

Difference between french revolution and indian freedom movement

Answer 1

That’s an interesting question…

Let’s start with the differences 1st okay….

• Except for the fact that both happened more than half century apart (68yrs)
• While french revolution was against there own ruler (the king) who ruled over them for centuries whereas Revolt of 1857 was against foreign rule (who also had ruled for century till then).
• French revolution was started by civilians ( especially because of a loaf of bread and inflation ) whereas revolt of 1857 was initiated by the soldiers or as they were known Sepoy of british india army.
• And the result too differed where at the end of french revolution the king agreed for the republic and democracy (however twisted or hogwashed it was) whereas in revolt of 1857 the rebellions were brutally crushed and even were fired by tieing up with tank ( तोप in hindi).
• And the middle class (newly educated part of the system) were the supporters of the french revolution in France whereas in British India those middle class intelligentsia weren’t the supporter of the revolt of 1857 as they believed that Govt. could actually help make India industrialised and educated (dreams ofcourse :D) .

Answer 2

Answer:

While the Revolt of 1857 was against foreign domination, the French Revolution was against their own ruler (the monarch), who had ruled over people for centuries (who also had ruled for century till then).

Explanation:

• Both occurrences occurred more than 50 years apart (68yrs).
• While the 1857 insurrection was launched by soldiers, or as they were known, Sepoy of the British India Army, the French revolution was started by civilians (particularly as a result of a loaf of bread and inflation).
• The outcome also varied: although at the end of the French Revolution the king endorsed the republic and democracy, the 1857 Uprising was ruthlessly put down and even put to death by tank tie-up.
• And in France, the middle class (the newly educated sector of the society) supported the French Revolution, however in British India, those middle class intelligentsia did not support the uprising of 1857 because they thought that the government could truly assist industrialise and educate India.

Thus this is the difference between French and India freedom movement.
