  • NASCENT NATIONALISM in the PRINCELY STATES While Political
    33 Chapter II NASCENT NATIONALISM IN THE PRINCELY STATES While political questions, the growth of polity in British India and its ripple effect in the Princely States vexed the Crown of England and the Government of India, the developments in education, communication and telegraphs played the well known role of unifying India in a manner hitherto unknown. It was during the viceroyalty of Lord Duffrine that the Indian National Congress was formed under the patronage of A.O. Hume. In 1885, and throughout the second half of the 19th Century, there existed in Calcutta and other metropolitan towns in India a small but energetic group of non-official Britons-journalists, teachers, lawyers, missionaries, planters and traders - nicknamed ’interlopers’ by the Company’s servants who cordially detested them. The interlopers brought their politics into India and behaved almost exactly as they would have done in England. They published their rival newspapers, founded schools and missions and 34 organised clubs, associations and societies of all sorts. They kept a close watch on the doings of the Company’s officials. Whenever their interests were adversely affected by the decisions of the government, they raised a hue and cry in the press, organised protest meetings sent in petitions, waited in deputations and even tried to influence Parliament and public opinion in England and who by their percept and example they taught their Indian fellow subjects the art of constitutional agitation.' In fact, the seminal role of the development of the press in effective unification within the country and in the spread of the ideas of democracy and freedom that transcended barriers which separated the provinces from the Princely India is not too obvious.

The Portuguese, Dutch, French and the English came to India to promote trade and commerce. The English who established the East-India Co. in 1600, gradually consolidated their hold in different parts of India. They had very capable men like Sir. Thomas Roe, Colonel Close, General Smith, Elphinstone, Grant Duff etc . The English shrewdly exploited the disunity among the Indian rulers. They were very diplomatic in their approach. Due to their far sighted policies, the English were able to expand and consolidate their rule in Maharashtra. 2 The Company’s government had trapped most of the Maratha rulers in Subsidiary Alliances and fought three important wars with Marathas over a period of 43 years (1775 -1818). 1.2 POLITICAL CONDITIONS BEFORE THE BRITISH CONQUEST : The Company’s Directors sent Lord Wellesley as the Governor- General of the Company’s territories in India, in 1798.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The introduction of English as ‘high’ language and the designs to re-shape the ‘native vernaculars’ under its influence through colonial educational policy altered the universe of communicative and cultural practices on the sub-continent. Colonial bilingualism also introduced hierachical and ideological divisions between the newly-educated and ‘illiterate’, ‘English- knowing’ and ‘vernacular-speaking’ sections of native society. On the basis of an analysis of the possibilities for a laicised literate order opened up through the severely elitist project of colonial education, the thesis proposes an argument about the structural links between these crucial cultural shifts and the strategies adopted by the colonial intelligentsia in western India to achieve a hegemonic position.

Feedback Ans-C The foundation of Muslim rule in India was laid by Mohammad Ghori towards the close of the 12th century A.D. However, long before that Muslims had started making attempts to enter India. The Erst such attempt was made in the middle of the 7th century A.D. which however, proved a failure in 711-713 A.D. the Arabs under Muhammad- bin-Qasim, nephew of the Governor of Basra attacked India and conquered Sindh and Multan. The next attempt to capture India was made by the Turks of Ghazni. Subuktgin and his son Mahmud (995—1030) attacked Punjab which was then ruled by the Shahi dynasty. Subuktgin defeated the Shahi ruler Jaipal and deprived him of his trans Indus territory. The rest of the territories of Jaipal were wrested by his son Mahmud. The credit for laying Erm foundation of the Muslim rule in India goes to Mohammad Ghori. Ghori seized the throne of Ghazni in 1173. After the death of Ghori, his Viceroy Kutub- ud-Din Aibak set up Slave dynasty in India.

  • Maharashtraatthebeginningofbrit
    Maharashtra at the beginning of British Rule in 19th century Introduction Maharashtra has the tradition of very old and ancient history. During ancient times, the dyansties like Satvahanas, Vakatakas, Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Shilharas ruled various parts of Maharashtra at different times. These dynasties had produced the famous rulers like Gautamiputra Satkarni, Hala (the king Hala belonging to Satvahana dynasty is credited with compiling the first book in Maharashtri Prakrit language. The title of the book was 'Gathasaptashati' or 'Gathasattasai'. According to experts the modern Marathi language has its roots in ancient Maharashtri Prakrit language), Pravarsen II (this king belonging to Vakataka dynasty composed a book titled 'Setubandh' or 'Ravanvaho' in Maharashtri Prakrit) Sarvasen (Sarvasena was also a Vakataka king who wrote 'Harivijay', a book in Maharashtri Prakrit. The Vakatakas came to power in Maharashtra after the Satvahanas), Pulkeshin II (He belonged to the Chalukya dynasty and had defeated king Harshavardhan, his powerful northern contemporary) and Aparaditya I (this Shilhara king was interested in music and Dharmashastras. He had written a commentary on Yajnyavalkya Smriti titled 'Apararka'). During medieval period, the most prominent dynasty which ruled over Maharashtra was the Yadava dynasty. During the Yadava rule great Marathi Bhakti Saint Dnyaneshwar wrote 'Dnyneshwari', a commentary on 'Bhagvad Gita' in Marathi language around 1290 CE. During the rule of Yadava king, Ramdevraya, Allauddin Khilji had attacked Devgiri (modern Aurangabad district in Maharashtra), the capital of Yadava Kings of Maharashtra. The Yadavas of Maharashtra claimed themselves to be decendants of 'Yadu' dynasty. Devout Hindus believe that Lord Krishna belonged to this mythological dynasty. Different parts of Maharashtra were subsequently ruled by the Sultans of Delhi (Delhi Sultanate) and Mughal Dynasty.
