hey mate here is your answer↓↓
Following were the factors responsible for the growth of nationalism in nineteenth century in India :
(1) Result of colonial exploitation : Each walk of life in India reflected the signs of the colonial exploitation. The industrialists and traders had restricted opportunities. The rich peasantry was laden with revenue demand. The educated class stood in queues for jobs. The small peasants had to pay many taxes. Labourers had low wages and bad working conditions. The leaders had limited opportunities to participate in the government. All these put an anger and dissent in the minds of the general people.
(2) Understanding of the true nature of the British rule : By this time people knew well the exploitative and discriminative nature of the British rule. They became of the opinion that the colonial government is working here only for its self. It had nothing to offer towards the welfare of the Indian people in general.
(3) Racial discrimination : The colonial policy was based on the principle of racial discrimination. They believed Indians to be backward and primitive and incapable to run and share the government. This attitude of the colonial government made Indians to rethink about themselves.
(4) Role of Mahatma Gandhi and other leaders : This was the scene when India saw the great leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. He took the weapon of Satyagraha. This experiment, as the people saw, was very successful in Kheda, Ahmedabad, Champaran etc. The people had opportunity to gather behind the miraculous leadership of Gandhiji who could give voice to their demands.
(5) Impacts of nationalist literature, songs, poems and folklores : The Indian historians wrote about the glorious developments in ancient times when art and architecture, science and mathematics, religion and culture law and philosophy and culture, and philosophy, crafts and trade had flourished. And, how all these declined due to colonisation.
