Divine Origin Theory: 

Divine origin theory of origin of state is the oldest theory. According to this theory, state has been created by God. Explanation regarding this can be found in ancient Indian and western literature. 

For example: 

Western Thinking: 

The first supporters of divine theory were the Jews. Jewish scriptures asserted that the king was appointed by God and only He could dethrone or kill the king. Greece and Rome also gave acceptance to this theory. Greek scholars considered the state as a natural and divine organization. Roman people accepted that God indirectly ruled the state. 

The king was considered as God himself in ancient Egypt. They thought the king as son of Sun – God. In China, the king was considered as representative or incarnation of God. According to Christian religion of Europe, God had created the state and appointed the king. 

Indian Philosophy: 

Indian philosophy also believed that state was created by God. State and king both are divine. According to Manu Smriti, state is a creation of God. Proof of divine origin of state can also be found in ‘Shanti Parva’ of ‘Mahabharata’. Thus, divine origin theory of state can be found in western political thinking and Indian thinking.

Social contract theory considers state not to be a divine organization, but a result of mutual contract made by individuals.

World nations try to gain and maintain dominance over others by using military, economic and cultural power. During the Cold War the fight was between the Soviet Union and America. With the disintegration of the Soviet, Union America remains the only Superpower.

Dominance or hegemony is attained through three things:

• Hard Power
• Structural Power
• Soft Power

Hard Power: 

This includes military power and the relations between nations. Today America is in the forefront of military power. There is nobody to challenge its military might. It has the capacity to reach any corner of the world any moment. They spend a major part of their budget to maintain this position. They spend huge sums of money for research and technological developments. It is technology that keeps America in the forefront. With their military might they are even ready to police the world, and punish the culprits.

Structural Power: 

This dominance is based on the economic structure. The global economic system relies on America. If America helps the global economic system, it is mainly for their benefits and profits. But America does a lot of good things for the world. 

For example, communication channels through the oceans. Merchant ships travel through sea routes and America has much authority on the water transport system. It is the American navy that keeps the sea routes safe for ships.

• Initially non-cooperation was to start in stages with the surrender of British honours and titles, boycott of British offices, institutions and foreign goods followed by civil disobedience campaign. Finally at Nagpur session of Congress in 1920, the programme of Non-Cooperation was adopted. 
• In case the government used repressive methods, a full scale Civil Disobedience campaign would then be launched.

Meaning of sovereignty: 

State cannot be imagined without sovereignty. The word ‘sovereignty’ has been derived from Latin word ‘Suprenus’, which means ‘supreme power’. It implies that, “Sovereignty means supreme power of state.”

Importance of Sovereignty: 

Sovereignty is that feature of state which makes it different from other organisations. State can exist only if it is sovereign. If it loses its sovereignty due to internal revolution or external attack, then it loses its existence also.

Types / Aspects of Sovereignty: 

Sovereignty is of two types: 

Internal and external. 

1. External sovereignty:

It means that state is not under control of any other state. Every state has full rights to enter into business agreements and military alliances. It can make its own foreign policy.

2. Internal Sovereignty: 

It means that state has full control and supreme power over all its individuals and organisations. State has the right to punish any individual or organisation if it does not obey its laws and orders.

• Nominal and real sovereignty. 
•  Legal Sovereignty.

Non-Cooperation was a powerful method of resistance following the principles of non-violence and ahimsa.

2. It involved the boycott of British goods and clothes. 
3. Even the titles conferred by the British Government were surrendered. 
4. Council elections were boycotted. 
5. Indians were requested to boycott government controlled schools and colleges.

Thus, the powerful resistance was the first ever nationalist movement in India in the struggle of independence against British which united all the sections of Indians.
