Or should we regard the colonial state as simply another specific form in which the modern state has generalized itself across the globe? If the latter is the case, then of course the specifically colonial form of the emergence of the institutions of the modern state would be of only incidental, or at best episodic, interest; it would not be a necessary part of the larger, and more important, historical narrative of modernity.The idea that colonialism was only incidental to the history of the development of the modern institutions and technologies of power in the countries of Asia and Africa is now very much with us. In some ways, this is not surprising, because we now tend to think of the period of colonialism as something we have managed to put behind us, whereas the progress of modernity is a project in which we are all, albeit with varying degrees of enthusiasm, still deeply implicated.

  • Bhagat Singh
    Making Of A Revolutionary Bhagat Singh Making Of A Revolutionary Over half a century ago, a bomb was thrown in the central Legislative Assembly, Delhi, to make the deaf hear. Bhagat Singh, the leader of the group, which committed this heroic act, has today become an official mar- tyr of the capitalist-landlord government. In his memory, ministers give speeches, garland statues and inaugurate exhibitions. This is not surprising. When leaders of the oppressed masses die, the ruling class uses these meth- ods to divert the people from their revolutionary ideas by glorifying their name. Therefore, while exploiters make a mockery of Bhagat Singhs mar- tyrdom, the working class and the people of India must once again remem- ber the revolutionary ideas of one of its bravest sons and pledge itself to the cause for which he and his comrades made the ultimate sacrifice. Born in 1917, Bhagat Singh belonged to a family well known for its anti-imperialist views. Ajit Singh, his uncle, was a nationalist leader who was imprisoned for his opposition to British imperialism. As Bhagat Singh grew up, India and the world underwent great changes. First, the needs of the First Imperialist War (1914-1918) led to a growth in industry and with that the numbers of the working class. Secondly, the revolution in Russia (1917) led by the working class gave inspiration to the liberation struggles in the colonial countries. In these circumstances, the Congress, led by Gandhi, started the Non- co-operation Movement. Thousands flooded the streets in response to Gandhis call. The days of British rule seemed num- bered.

Also, Kautilya in his Arthashastra mentioned elaborately about slaves, both men and women. Statement 2 is correct. The use of currency which began in the pre-Mauryan period became a fairly common feature of the Mauryan period. Currency was used to trade goods and the government paid its officers in cash. It is evident from a large number of coins of Mauryan age found at many places like U.P. and Bihar. Statement 3 is correct. Large-scale clearing of land by the State as well as the cultivation of Crown land under the direct supervision of State’s officers led to an unprecedented growth of settled agriculture, especially in the Gangetic valley.

  • Indian Freedom Struggle
    1 Indian Freedom Struggle From modest beginnings, the East India Company gradually became the dominant power in India in the 18th and 19th centuries. By 1857, the British ruled the country directly or indirectly (through the hundreds of native princely states). First War of Independence 1857 Termed later by V.D. ‘Veer’ Savarkar as the ‘First War of Indian Independence’; but known then as the Indian Revolt of 1857, this series of events occurred as the result of a lot of factors rather than any single event, and was the first major revolt against British colonial power in the Indian subcontinent. Among the many factors that caused this revolt, was a mutiny in sections of the native regiments. The biggest contributing factor in these mutinies was influenced by the religious beliefs of the subcontinent. Sepoys had to bite a cover to remove it from the cartridges used for their rifles while operating them, as they were pre-greased and tighter than earlier muskets. The grease used for this purpose was allegedly derived from beef and pork, which offended the religious 2 sentiments of both the Hindu and the Muslim communities. The revolt began at Barrackpore (now in Kolkata, and once the oldest British cantonment in India) when Mangal Pandey, a soldier of the 34th native infantry, shot and wounded his sergeant. Pandey was subsequently arrested and hanged. But by then it had created a domino effect among the Indian sepoys, and a few weeks later, soldiers in Meerut refused to handle the new guns and cartridges. Many soldiers marched to Delhi to revolt against the policies of the British, and to show their support to the Mughal Emperor, Bahadur Shah II ‘Zafar’.

  • Chandra Shekhar Azad
    Chandra Shekhar Azad July 23, 2020 India had several freedom fighters who fought to secure the country’s independence from British rule, and among the well known personalities was Chandra Shekhar Azad. July 23, marks the birth anniversary of the fearless man who chose to make the supreme sacrifice by taking his own life to escape imprisonment and torture at the hands of the British. When Gandhiji launched the Non-Cooperation Movement in December 1921, Chandra Shekhar Azad, who was then 15 and still studying, joined the movement. After Gandhiji suspended the non-cooperation movement in 1922, Chandra Shekhar Azad joined theHindustan Republican Association (HRA), a revolutionary organisation formed by Ram Prasad Bismil, Sachindra Nath Sanyal and others. Chandra Shekhar Azad took charge of HRA after Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan, Rajendra Lahiri and Thankur Roshan Singh were sentenced to death in the Kakori train robbery case. Kakori Conspiracy refers to armed robbery on August 9, 1925, of a train in what is now central Uttar Pradesh state and the subsequent court trial instituted by the government of British India against more than two dozen men accused of involvement, directly or otherwise, in the crime. On board the train was money that had been collected from various railway stations enroute and that was to be deposited at Lucknow. In a well-planned operation, Ramprasad Bismil led a band of 10 revolutionary activists who stopped the train, subdued the train’s guard and passengers, and forced open the safe in the guard’s quarters before fleeing with the cash found within it.
