What efforts were made by leaders to revive india's glorious past
Answers
Answer:
• Revival of Folklore : Ideas of nationalism also developed through a movement to revive Indian folklore. These tales as believed, gave a true picture of traditional culture that had been corrupted and damaged by the outside forces. In Bengal, Rabindranath Tagore himself began collecting ballads, nursery rhymes and myths, and led the movement for folk revival. In Madras, Natesa Sastri published a massive four volume collection of Tamil folktales, The Folklore of Southern India.
• Reinterpretation of History : Another means of creating a feeling of nationalism was through reinterpretation of history. The nationalist histories urged the readers to take pride in India's great achievements in the past and struggle to change the miserable conditions of life under British rule.
