Question

How nationalism emerge in india​

Answer 1

Answer:

Indian nationalism developed as a concept during the Indian independence movement fought against the colonial British Raj. Indian nationalism is an instance of territorial nationalism, inclusive of all its people, despite their diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds. It continues to strongly influence the politics of India and reflects an opposition to the sectarian strands of Hindu nationalism and Muslim nationalism.

Explanation:

The political identity of the Indian National Congress, India's largest political party and one which controlled government for over 45 years, is reliant on the connection to Mohandas K. Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, and the Nehru-Gandhi family which has controlled the Congress since independence. The Congress Party's fortunes up till the 1970s were single-handedly propelled by its legacy as the flagship of India's Independence Movement, and the core platform of the party today evokes that past strongly, considering itself to be the guardian of India's independence, democracy and unity. Muslims have remained loyal voters of the Congress Party, seen as defender of Nehruvian secularism. In contrast, the Bharatiya Janata Party employs a more aggressively nationalistic expression. The BJP seeks to preserve and spread the culture of the Hindus, the majority population. It ties nationalism with the aggressive defence of India's borders and interests against archrivals China and Pakistan, with the defence of the majority's right to be a majority.

1. The growth of modern nationalism was connected to the anti-colonial movement. The sense of being controlled under colonialism provided a shared bond.

2. Political unification of the country under the British also played a very important role in awakening the spirit of nationalism.

3. Introduction of the modern means of transportation especially the railways created a sense of equality among the people.

4. Formation of the Indian National Congress and other political organizations also provided the people a common platform.

5. The Congress under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi tried to unite these groups together within one movement.
