India's Nuclear Odyssey
India’s Nuclear Odyssey India’s Nuclear Andrew B. Kennedy Odyssey Implicit Umbrellas, Diplomatic Disappointments, and the Bomb India’s search for secu- rity in the nuclear age is a complex story, rivaling Odysseus’s fabled journey in its myriad misadventures and breakthroughs. Little wonder, then, that it has received so much scholarly attention. In the 1970s and 1980s, scholars focused on the development of India’s nuclear “option” and asked whether New Delhi would ever seek to exercise it.1 After 1990, attention turned to India’s emerg- ing, but still hidden, nuclear arsenal.2 Since 1998, India’s decision to become an overt nuclear power has ushered in a new wave of scholarship on India’s nu- clear history and its dramatic breakthrough.3 In addition, scholars now ask whether India’s and Pakistan’s acquisition of nuclear weapons has stabilized or destabilized South Asia.4 Despite all the attention, it remains difªcult to explain why India merely Andrew B. Kennedy is Lecturer in Policy and Governance at the Crawford School of Economics and Gov- ernment at the Australian National University. He is the author of The International Ambitions of Mao and Nehru: National Efªcacy Beliefs and the Making of Foreign Policy, which is forthcoming from Cambridge University Press.

Chapter Vi Sri Lanka and the South Asian Sub-System
1 CHAPTER VI SRI LANKA AND THE SOUTH ASIAN SUB-SYSTEM Foreign policy analysis within the contours of the ‘analytic’ international system1 invariably over-emphasizes the influence of the global milieu and undermines the impact of local and regional settings which though less conspicuous are functionally significant to the foreign policies of the concerned states. To avoid such a lopsided analysis, a section of scholars advocates the adoption of a sub-system framework supplemental to the larger analytic one, since the former would take proper note of the regional context.2 The sub-systemic level of analysis is of considerable importance to the study of the foreign policies of the small developing countries because the regional environment has a crucial bearing on their external interactions. The foreign policies of these states are often directed towards the protection of the political system from dysfunctional and destabilizing forces arising out of the infrastructural linkages in the region. Also the foreign policies are used to create a regional power-balance to act as a deterrent on potential threat-sources. Usually, the small developing states perceive threat from their big neighbours and the magnitude of such threat perception is more, if there are infrastructural socio- cultural and economic linkages with the big neighbours. In this chapter an attempt is being made to analyze Sri Lanka’s external behaviour in the South-Asian sub-system. Before we proceed to analyze Sri Lanka’s regional interactions, we will briefly discuss the subsystemic features of South Asia, including its textural and structural characteristics.3 This will help us to underline the major influences on Sri Lanka and its regional objectives.

The Revolt of 1857
1A THE REVOLT OF 1857 1. Objectives: After going through this unit the student wilt be able:- a) To understand the background of the Revolt 1857. b) To explain the risings of Hill Tribes. c) To understand the causes of The Revolt of 1857. d) To understand the out Break and spread of the Revolt of 1857. e) To explain the causes of the failure of the Revolt of 1857. 2. Introduction: The East India Company's rule from 1757 to 1857 had generated a lot of discontent among the different sections of the Indian people against the British. The end of the Mughal rule gave a psychological blow to the Muslims many of whom had enjoyed position and patronage under the Mughal and other provincial Muslim rulers. The commercial policy of the company brought ruin to the artisans and craftsman, while the divergent land revenue policy adopted by the Company in different regions, especially the permanent settlement in the North and the Ryotwari settlement in the south put the peasants on the road of impoverishment and misery. 3. Background: The Revolt of 1857 was a major upheaval against the British Rule in which the disgruntled princes, to disconnected sepoys and disillusioned elements participated. However, it is important to note that right from the inception of the East India Company there had been resistance from divergent section in different parts of the sub continent. This resistance offered by different tribal groups, peasant and religious factions remained localized and ill organized. In certain cases the British could putdown these uprisings easily, in other cases the struggle was prolonged resulting in heavy causalities.
