Question

how did reinterpretation of history develop the sense of nationalism
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Nationalism spreads when people begin to believe that they are all part of the same nation, when they discover some unity that binds them together. This sense of collective belonging came partly through the experience of united struggles. The identity of the nation is most often symbolised in a figure or image. Ideas of nationalism also developed through a movement to revive Indian folklore. As the national movement developed, nationalist leaders became more and more aware of such icons and symbols in unifying people and inspiring in them a feeling of nationalism. Another means of creating a feeling of nationalism was through reinterpretation of history.

Answer 2

Explanation:

By the end of the 19th century many Indians began feeling that to instill a sense of pride in the nation Indian history had to be thought about differently.

The British saw Indians as backward and primitive, incapable of governing themselves.

In response, Indians began looking into the past to discover India's great achievements. They wrote about the glorious developments in ancient times when art and architecture, science and mathematics, religion and culture, law and philosophy, crafts and trade had flourished.

This glorious time in their view, was followed by a history of decline, when India was colonised.

These nationalist histories urged the leaders to take pride in India's great achievements in the past and struggle to change the miserable conditions of life under British rule.
