Answer:

Impact of the nationalist movement on the constitution of India :-

Indian national consciousness, Dr Habib cautions that, “Any scrutiny of the causes of the revolt of 1857 must bring into focus two negative factors inherited from old India; a limited notion of India as a country among people across regions, and the division of people in a hierarchy of castes and communities”. How could such a “disunited” society develop any feeling of nation and nation consciousness? Unlike Hindu national chauvinists who claim that ancient India had everything, including science and technology, the author acknowledges the contribution of the British in creating the conditions for regeneration of Indian society the printing press, postal system, and the railways facilitated the emergence of a new consciousness among Indians. “The very existence of the railways helped to create in many minds, the vision of a modern, industrialised India, achievable if Indians could control their own destiny,” he writes.

Modern education and the spread of the English language played a critical role in creating a new Indian middle class. The best products of Western education in Bengal and Maharashtra launched Hindu reform movements to synchronise with the needs of modern society. Among Muslims, Syed Ahmed Khan challenged Muslim theologians, insisting that the Quranic message must be regularly reinterpreted “to keep the Word of God in conformity with the Work of God”.

Alongside, nationalist economists offered trenchant critiques of British colonial policies. The tallest among them was Dadabhai Naoroji, affectionately called the “Grand Old Man of Indian Nationalism”. Dadabhai Naoroji’s famous monograph, Poverty and UnBritish rule in India, is a searing assessment of British land revenue policies that led to a “drain of wealth” from India to Britain, and caused the “underdevelopment” and “pauperisation” of the colony.

The Nationalist Movements in India were early popular movements seeking independence of India from Great Britain. Although actions such as the Salt March in 1930 raised pressure on the colonialist administration and won concessions, these remained limited in scope and fell short of the complete independence sought.

Nationalist movement spreads when people from different religions and communities begin to develop a sense of collective belongingness. Through this, an identity of a nation is characterized.

Mahatma Gandhi is perhaps the most widely recognized figure of the Indian Nationalist Movement for his role in leading non-violent civil uprisings. He first employed the non-violent approach in South Africa where he was serving as an expatriate lawyer.

A nationalist movement is a social and political movement for obtaining and maintaining national identity and autonomy among a group of people that some of its members consider a nation.
