Answer:
1. The Martyrs
The scene represents a function that took place in Delhi. Lata Mangeshkar can be seen singing “Ae mere watan ke logon”. Alongside her, Indira Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Lal Bahadur Shastri can also be seen.
2. The Company’s conquests (1757-1849)
Conquests- the subjugation and assumption of control of a place or people by military force; conquering
Short-sighted- lacking imagination or foresight
Superior- higher in quality
Subdue- overcome or bring under control; conquer
Dethroned- remove (a monarch) from power
The year 1757 bears the mark of being an important year in Indian History. The Company Rule, also known as the Company Raj refers to the rule of British East India Company over parts of the Indian Subcontinent. The East India Company was a private company owned by stockholders and reporting to the administration in London. The company came to India and set-up a few factories at different places. However, the company’s beginnings on Coastal India offered no clues to what would become of a lengthy presence on the Indian Subcontinent.
Slowly and gradually, they began expanding and extending their dominance in India. One of the reasons they were able to do so is that they possessed superior weapons. Secondly, they took advantage of the prevailing disturbed circumstances among the Indian rulers. The Indian princes were not at peace amongst themselves. Indian princes, however, were “short-sighted” which means they only considered immediate benefits but ignored its long-term consequences. So, they took help from the English merchants to be able to defeat their rivals. This helped the British East India Company in successfully taking over control from the Indian rulers. The British adopted the “Divide and Rule” policy.
Amongst all the short-sighted Indian rulers, there was one ruler of Mysore, Tipu Sultan who understood their policy and fought against them till his last moment. The Indians, however, had varied opinions and reactions. The first set of people were very happy with the Britishers and were also grateful because they thought peace could finally prevail. They thought it put an end to war and looting by thugs. On the other hand, people saw what was actually happening. They knew that even if some of the princes were cruel, they were at least of their land. They had realised that they were now slaves of the Englishmen.
3. British Rule (1765- 1836)
Preached- publicly proclaim or teach Untouchability- the practice of ostracising (excluding) a minority group by segregating them from the mainstream by social custom or legal mandate (now outlawed in India)
Child marriage- marriage of a girl or boy before the age of 18
Scorned- feel or express contempt or disdain for
Merchants- a person or company involved in wholesale trade, especially one dealing with foreign countries or supplying goods to a particular trade
Arrears- money that is owed and should have been paid earlier
Inevitably- as is certain to happen; unavoidably
Famines- extreme scarcity of food
Cripple- cause (someone) to become unable to walk or move properly
These years led to the rise of widespread myths and taboos like untouchability, child marriage, inferiority of women, etc. Our own religion leaders taught everyone the idea of Untouchability. Untouchability refers to the practice of ostracising (excluding) a minority group by segregating them from the mainstream by social custom or legal mandate (now outlawed in India). They were not allowed to come near those who considered themselves superior, not allowed in temples and thelist of how they were discriminated against and deprived of the basic rights goes on. The religious leaders even preached that people who “cross the seas'' will no longer belong to their religion. Women were considered the root cause of a lot of problems like poverty and other miseries. This is the reason why teenage girls were forced to marry, thereby leading to Child Marriage (now outlawed in India). These practices were not only being done, but were also being promoted.
The Britishers started looking down upon Indians and initiated brain-washing the rulers against them. They alleged that Indians were not worthy of trust and “incapable of honesty”. This was a way of making the natives slaves and getting control over them.
