Explanation:
Indian nationalism developed as a concept during the Indian independence movement which campaigned for independence from British rule. Indian nationalism is an instance of territorial nationalism, which is inclusive of all of the people of India, despite their diverse ethnic, linguistic 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.[
Answer:The British Policy of Social Reforms made the people feel insecure. They feared that the government was trying to convert them to Christianity in order to destroy Indian religion and culture .People believed that the Indian Social System was deliberately undermined in railways and the military. An order was passed in Agra that every Indian had to salute the British. If this was done, it was considered a crime liable for punishment. In 1853 the British government started railways in India for quick transportation of army. In 1854 C.E. British government started modern system of telegram and post in India.Thereafter printing press and newspapers also started in India. There reforms were introduced by the British for their benefit but they benefitted Indians too .But still those became a blessing as the emotion of nationalism was inculcated in the minds of Indians who where brought closer with newspaper, posts and telegraphs.
