In what way did Mahatma Gandhi transform the nature of the national movement? |
| Answer» <html><body><p></p>Solution :(a) Gandhiji returned to India from South Africa in 1915. In 1917 he went to Champaran in Bihar to fight for the cause of farmers who were <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/forced-2086335" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FORCED">FORCED</a> to grow indigo by the British government. The farmers movement proved successful as the British government accepted the demands of the farmers. Since that time to 1948 when he was assassinated, he occupied the central place in the politics of India. The fact is Mahatma Gandhi is the chief protagonist of the Indian Freedom Struggle.<br/>(b) Mahatma Gandhi changed the nature of freedom movement and this can be elaborated by the following points:(i) When Gandhiji joined Indian politics, the freedom movement was limited to the middle class. Everybody who participated in the political movements was educated and product of the English education. <br/> (ii) Gandhiji made it all pervasive. Now people from villages, poor people, labours, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/workers-1459855" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WORKERS">WORKERS</a>, and students all became part of the freedom struggle. However, there are people who find fault with the act of Gandhiji.<br/>(iii) They point out that Mahatma Gandhi used religious symbols to popularise the freedom movement that in long term gave fillip to communal politics. It is notable that the Age of Gandhi is also the age of the Rise of Muslim League in Indian politics.<br/>(iv) Eminent author Nirad C Choudhary has also criticised Mahatma Gandhi for making the freedom movement a mass movement by short cuts. <br/> (v) Mahatma G.ndhi has to be credited with emancipation of women and their participation in the public life at a scale not known in Indian history. Women were very prominent in picketing activities against shops <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/selling-25929" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SELLING">SELLING</a> foreign goods. <br/> (vi) The freedom movement gave some prominent women leaders viz. Sarojini Naidu, Rajkumari Amrit <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/kaur-531352" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about KAUR">KAUR</a> and many more. <br/> (vii) For Mahatma Gandhi freedom movement was also a platform for social reforms. He spoke in favour of place of dignity and respects for depressed classes.<br/>(viii) He made end to untouchability a fundamental <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/objective-25531" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OBJECTIVE">OBJECTIVE</a> of his political philosophy. Thus, Mahatma Gandhi made freedom movement a mass movement and a movement much beyond politics.</body></html> | |

How did the Constituent Assembly seek to resolve the language controversy? |
| Answer» <html><body><p></p>Solution :India is a very big country. It has many different regions. Different varieties of people live here and speak different languages. So, for a new nation like India, it was necessary to give proper attention to the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/intricacies-1050332" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INTRICACIES">INTRICACIES</a> of different languages. <br/>(a) Hindustani: <br/>(i) Hindustani was a choice for the Congress and Mahatma Gandhi. Congress had <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/already-1974237" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ALREADY">ALREADY</a> decided to adopt Hindustani as the national language of the country.<br/> (ii) Mahatma Gandhi was also in favour of adopting Hindustani as the national language and supported strongly for this view. He argued that everyone should speak in a language which is understood by most of the common people.<br/> (iii) Hindustani was not a new language. It was a blend of Hindi and Urdu. It was enriched by the interaction of diverse cultures and spoken by most of the people of the country. <br/>(b) Hindi: <br/>(i) R.V. Dhulekar pleaded in favour of Hindi for adopting it as the national language. He came from the United Province and a Congressman.<br/> (ii) He <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/wanted-3266983" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WANTED">WANTED</a> that Hindi should be used as language of constitution-making. He even said that those who did not know Hindustani were not worthy to be the members of the Constituent Assembly. <br/> (c) Report of the Language Committee:<br/> (i) The language committee of the Constituent Assembly suggested a compromise formula in its report. It suggested that Hindi in Devnagri script should be the official language of the country and tried to resolve the issue.<br/> (ii) It also suggested that transition from English to Hindi should be gradual. It was also suggested that, during <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/first-461760" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FIRST">FIRST</a> fifteen years since adoption of the Constitution, English would continue to serve as language for official purposes. So it was clear that the Language Committee referred Hindi as the official language, not the national language.<br/> (d) Threat to South: <br/>(i) The members of the Constituent Assembly who belonged to the Southern India were <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/apprehensive-7374044" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about APPREHENSIVE">APPREHENSIVE</a> of the view. They felt that Hindi would be a threat to their provincial languages. <br/>(ii) Shankar Rao from Bombay, T.A. Ramalingam Chettiar and Mrs. G. Durgabai of Madras suggested that issue of language required utmost care and needed to be handled deftly and carefully. Hindi should not be thrust upon the people of South India.</body></html> | |

Read the passage given below and answer the question that follow: " I am simply returning my father's karz , his bebt" This is what the researcher recorded:During my visit to the History Department Library of Punjab University. Lahore, in the winter of 1992, the librarian , Abdul Latif , a pious middle-aged man, would help me a lot,He would go out of his way, well beyond the call of duty.to provide me with relevant material meticulously keeping photocopies requested by me ready before my arrival the following morning. I found his attitude to my work so extraordinary that one dayI could not help asking him " Latif Sahib, why do you go out of your way to help me so much? Latif Sahib glanced at his watch ,grabbed his namazi topi and said" I must go for namaz right now but I will answer your question on my return" Stepping into his office half an hour later he continued " yes , your question. I ... I mean my father belonged to Jammu to a small village in Jammu district. This was a Hindu-dominated village and Hindu ruffians of the area massacred the hamlet's Muslim population in August 1947. One late afternoon ,when the Hindu mob had been at its furious worst, my father discoveredhe was perhaps the only Muslim youth of the village left alive. He had already lost his entire family in the butchery ans was looking for ways of escaping, Remembering a kind, elderly Hindu lady ,a neighbour, he implored her to save him by offering him shelter at her place. The lady agreed to help father but said,'Son if you hide here they will get both of us, This is of no use You follow me to the spot where they have pilled up the dead. You lie down ,there as if dead and I will dump a few dead-bodies on you. Lie there among the dead ,son as If dead through the night and run for your life towards Sialkot at the break of dawn tomorrow. "My father agreed to the proposal. Off they went to that spot, father lay on the ground and the old lady dumped a number of bodies on him. An hour or so later a group or armed Hindu hoodlums appeared. One of them yelled, Any life left in anybody ?" and the others started with their crude staffs and guns. to feel for any trace of life in that heap. Somebody shouted, 'There is a wrist watch on that body!' and hit my father's fingers with the bult of his rifle. Father's used to tell us how difficult it was for him to keep his outstretched palm, beneath the watch he was wearing, so utterly still, Somehow he succeeded for a few seconds until one of them said 'Oh , it's only a watch. Come let us leave ,it is getting dark' Fortunately ,for Abbajithey left and my father lay there in that wretchedness the whole night , literally running for his life at the first hint of light. He did not stop until he reached Sialkot. " I help you because that Hindu mai helped my father.I am simply returning my father's karz, his debt." "But I am not a Hindu,"I said" Mine is a Sikh family , at best a mixed Hindu-Sikh one" "I do not know what your religion is with any surety. You do not wear uncut hair ans you are not a Muslim, So ,for my you are a Hindu and I do my little bit for you because a Hindu mai saved my father." How did the lady save the life of his father? |
