Q III) Write any two similarities between The French Revolution and the Freedom Movement of India?( Revolt of 1857 )
Answers
Answer:
While french revolution was against there own ruler (the king) who ruled over them for centuries whereas Revolt of 1857 was against foreign rule (who also had ruled for century till then).
French revolution was started by civilians ( especially because of a loaf of bread and inflation ) whereas revolt of 1857 was initiated by the soldiers or as they were known Sepoy of british india army.
And the result too differed where at the end of french revolution the king agreed for the republic and democracy (however twisted or hogwashed it was) whereas in revolt of 1857 the rebellions were brutally crushed and even were fired by tieing up with tank ( तोप in hindi).
And the middle class (newly educated part of the system) were the supporters of the french revolution in France whereas in British India those middle class intelligentsia weren’t the supporter of the revolt of 1857 as they believed that Govt. could actually help make India industrialised and educated (dreams ofcourse :D )
