What were the different uses of novel during the colonial world |
| Answer» (i) Source of Information : Colonial administrators found the ‘vernacular’ novels a valuable source of information on native life and customs. Such information was useful for them in governing Indian society, with its large and a variety of communities and castes.As outsiders, the British knew little about life inside Indian households. The novels in Indian languages often had descriptions of domestic life.(ii) Novels and colonialism : The novel originated in Europe at a time when it was colonizing the rest of the world. The early novel contributed to colonialism by marking the readers feel they were part of a superior community of fellow colonialists.(iii) The novel and nation making : The history written by colonial historians tended to depict Indians as weak, divided, and dependent on the British. These histories could not satisfy the tastes of the new Indian administrators and intellectuals. Nor did the traditional Puranic stories of the past- peopled by gods and demons, filled with the fantastic and the supernatural- seem convincing to those educated and working under the English system. Such minds wanted a new view of the past that would show that Indians could be independent minded and had been so in history. The novel provided a solution. In it, the nation could be imagined in a past that also featured historical characters, places, events and dates.(iv) Novels and struggle for freedom : The imagined nation of the novel was so powerful that it could inspire actual political movements. Banking’s Anandamath (1882) is-a novel about a secret Hindu militia that fights Muslims to establish a Hindu Kingdom. It was a novel that inspired many kinds of freedom fighters.(v) Novels and common sharing novelists included : Various classes in the novel in such a way that they could be seen to belong to a shared world. Premchand’s novels, for instance, are filled with all kinds of powerful characters drawn from all levels of society. In his novels you meet aristocrats and landlords, middle level peasants and landless labourers, middle class professionals and people from the margins of society. The women characters are strong individuals, especially those who come from the lower classes and are not modernised. | |

What is conservasion of land |
| Answer» The prevention of soil erosion is called soil conservation and the ways can be:\tTerrace farming is one way to do so and involves cutting terraces along a slope.

In plain areas, strip cropping can be used for soil conservation where strips of grass are allowed to stand between crops in large fields.

Why should relation and politics should not be mixed |
| Answer» As per my views are concerned, religion and politics should not be mingled. Religion and politics are different aspects that can\'t be seen with the same eye. Religion is a far more concern topic in India and politics is just a game which never see anything. To acquire power, one should not use the beliefs of people. Politics may get dirty but religion must not.On the basis of religion only, some mentally disabled do crime and make others also inspire to do the same.We have done this mistake once at the time of our independence and should not be repeated again. At that time also some have merged this topic and as a consequence of it, a large part of our country went as Pakistan.\xa0It leads to the most wicked evil, terrorism, which has evolved as a major threat to India\'s integrity, every state is suffering from insurgency. It not only detriment many lives but also have an adverse affect on property, infrastructure, climatic changes etc. It looses our economical condition and creates rampage all over.\xa0Because of religion mixed with politics, the political parties don\'t work properly. As most of the times party wins on the basis of the religion of the people living there in that particular region. They make it as a prime concern to win the votes. In our country, it normally happens that a person will vote the leader of his own community, which may lead to the wrong decisions. Here the leaders also know that our people can be easily influenced by their religion, this is because of illiteracy, they just don\'t think about who can be the right person to take their views and needs forward.On one side we say to diminish all the evils like corruption, terrorism etc. And on the other we ourselves are favouring these somewhere. It also effect the normal work of the people.On its basis, some leaders promises to provide reservation to a particular community as a result others also come on strike and want theirs to be also reserved. It not only creates destruction of the public but also of property, a huge loss of transport, exchange, economic losses etc.If our own people will do like this, it will encourage other nations and they will try to suppress us. If these things happen in the country inside, it will also influence the internal relation of different states.The politics should be reformed. This can be only done by changing the mindset of the people and politicians. The younger should take the charge to lead India with only feeling to serve the country. Politicians should raise the problems of people like illiteracy, inflation, corruption, development of infrastructure etc. So we should think for the whole nation not for a particular community to enrich our nation. | |
