In the middle of the 18th Century, the British Empire colonized the land that contains India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Towards the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, independence movements sprang up. The British, savvy as they were in dividing and pitting the subject populations against one another had in its arsenal various ethnicities, languages, and religions to create infighting. These conflicts shaped and continue to shape how these Indian movements developed.
Today, the Hindutva Nationalist movement threatens the democratic-loving Indian people. In tonight’s class, we will analyze how the social movements in India developed. We will be reading from Rajani Palme Dutt’s “India Today”. We will also attempt to use this analysis to look at Indian social movements in the 21st Century.
