After the battle of Palashi in 1757, the English set their colony throughout the indian sub-continent and they ruled 190 (1757-1947) years through great colonial impressions. In 1947 due to movement over all india and their own egarness to free india from their rule they gave the independence as two sovereign state named india and Pakistan where Pakistan had two parts- east Pakistan (todays Bangladesh ) and west Pakistan (todays Pakistan) Background of language movement: After the division, the two sovereign country became separated. Pakistan was consisted with two parts East Pakistan and West Pakistan with the distance of 5600 square miles, but the two parts were different from one another in many sectors including regional differences, political dissimilar, religious belief, economic importance and other sectors. Where East Pakistan was economically more solvent than West Pakistan and most of the people of west Pakistan were Muslim where the maximum inhabitants of east Pakistan were Hindu. On the other hand, there were various language talked in westPakistan, but the common language of east Pakistan was Bengali yet the autocratic ruler of west Pakistan wanted to make Urdu as the state language of Pakistan, then the political, economic, language related clashes took places in many times and one of them is the language movement of 1952. The reasons of Language movement: There were many legal reason behind the valiant movement for language in 1952, they are economic,
“Englishmen.. have given the people of India the greatest human blessing - peace.” (Dutt). Merely coming to India in the 1600s to trade, the British East India Company established trading outposts. After ridding of French influence in India during the Seven Years’ War and having Indians mutiny against British rule, Britain gained full control of India. India has been under the imperialist control of the British until their independence in 1947. British imperialism caused some negative effects on India through poverty and persecution, but retained more of a positive impact due to its massive improvements in the modernization of India and the overall improvement of Indian civilization.
By around the year 1920, The British have taken control of more than 25 percent of the human population. India was one of those colonies. Originally used by the British East India Company for a source of Cotton, Indigo, and Tea, The British took complete Economic, Social, and Political control of India before the Sepoy Rebellion in 1857. With many natural resources and a huge population of potential consumers, India had become the ¨Jewel in the Crown¨ of the British Empire. The administration of India that Britain created was superbly efficient, leading to the construction of massive infrastructure throughout all of India, and the education of some elite class Indians. On the other hand, British rule of India served the needs of the British
The British originally came in as a decent sized company in East India, but when the sepoys attacked that company, England sent their whole army and navy to get the sepoys under control, but while doing that they also took over all of India. Although economically and socially the Indians did benefit in some ways, the British established a massive infrastructure by controlling India and having a huge political, economic, and social impact on India that helped them more than it helped the Indians.
For approximately two hundred years Britain ruled over India, allowing them almost no control of their own country. This is what imperialism was like for many countries. Initially India was colonized for its natural resources by the East India company but the companies hold on India became compromised after the sepoy rebellion in 1857 so the English government took control in a time of crisis. After decades of British Imperialism India finally gained independence in 1947. Brittain helped develop India by creating a government, education, and millions of jobs, however they negatively affected India by using the government and its powerful army to control and suppress the Indians along with Britain's unfair policies which
Before 1971, Bangladesh was divided into two regions; both with opposing political power. Although East Pakistan (Bangladesh) withheld the larger population between the two provinces, it acquired much less political dominance than West Pakistan. Through the power and representation of leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, East Pakistan rebelled. Rahman, leader of political party ‘The Awami League’ demanded more powers both politically and economically. This struggle finally cumulated into the war of independence for East Pakistan.
The British colonialism in India started in the 19th century and ended in 1947, after the Mughal Empire and the Aurangzeb (that controlled India at that time) collapsed. One of the reasons for colonizing India was trade, due to India’s great amount of raw materials. This colonization caused many negative and positive consequences. The British treatment to the Indians was derogatory, consequently, the Sepoy rebellion started.
Did you know in the 17th century India was one of the richest countries in the world? British imperialism began with the fall of the Mughal Dynasty in 1757. The East India Company noticed the Mughal Dynasty collapsing and took advantage of it. Robert Clive led his troops to victory, taking over India. Although many Indians were killed, British imperialism led India on the right path to success. The British developed a government and brought the nation together. They developed railways and infrastructure throughout India and provided jobs to those who searched for them. The idea of national parks came along and protected wildlife from going extinct.
The sepoys were defeated by the British and the Indian rulers who sided with the British. Soon thereafter the rule over India was taken from the British East India Company and placed directly in the hands of the British
The ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan has been the subject of speculation and study by political scientists and historians for a number of years. The ethnic conflict seems to have been sparked at the very beginning in 1947, when the British used Muslim and Hindu mercenaries against each other before the area finally split into today’s countries of India and Pakistan (Spiegel et al. 2015, 185). The timeline since then has been full of conflicts, both major and minor. Brutal tactics used by security forces and a high rate of unemployment have added to the issue (BBC News 2016).
The eventual genocide was preceded by a number of events that angered the Bengali people, which would inspire some to take to nationalism and lead to government intervention. First, months after the creation of Pakistan, Urdu was declared the national language by the governor-general in 1948, despite the fact that only four percent of the population could speak it. As a result of negativity to the Western Bengali people, those who supported the use of Bengali received the label of a traitor, terrorist, and enemies of the state. In response to successive governments’ refusals to recognize Bengali as the second national language, the Bengali people created a language movement that soon became supported by the new Awami League, an alternative
India was one of the most important and lasting colonies of the British, before they gained their independence in 1947. The British first took full control of India and established it as a colony in 1858, though the East India Company, a British joint-stock company, owned it before, instead of the crown itself. India started out as a trading post, with no more use than a connector on port shipments. As Marshall states, “Twenty or thirty ships a year were sent to Asia”. But after they found rubber, jute, and tea leaves, they decided to launch a full-scale
India was controlled by Britain and was one of their most successful colonies. After World War 2 this region went through a decolonization process and eventually gaining statehood and freedom from colonial status for India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. During this time the French and British lost most of their controlled territory. It all began with India, in this movement for independence.
During the warring state period, various countries had a great diversity of texts. Most of them look similar but they still don’t have a standardized written language. This brought out many inconvenient. For example, a student in eastern China wanted to read a book from the western state book, he might need a translator to help him. Li Si (Prime Minister of Qin) noticed the importance of standardized written language and decided to create a written language that can be used in the whole country. He was true,
The story lucky charm and the cricket war are two stories that are different and in some ways, the same. Both stories are the same because both stories involve sons who love their father, and whose father loves them. Now, these stories did have some differences. In ‘the cricket war’ there is a boy living on a farm with his parents and two siblings. In the story, crickets invade their house. They are all over the place. The child’s mother threatens to leave the father if he didn’t do something about it. The father put poison all over the place causing dead crickets everywhere. Eventually, it was overwhelming with dead and living crickets, so the father burns the newspaper which he thinks is their nest, and there was an explosion causing their
Any historiography of The British Raj must first start with the understanding that The British Raj fits within the broader historic concept of The British Empire. In the late 19th Century, many historians proposed that the history of The British Empire could be broken down into The First British Empire and The Second British Empire. The British Raj falls within the category of The Second British Empire within this view. The previous British involvement in India, via The East India Company, would largely fall within First British Empire. The opinions of historians, not any official decree by British law or authorities, are the basis for the concept of multiple periods of The British Empire. There was never an official start, or end date, for either period of empire. The British Empire was never an official entity, as in there was not a document or constitution dictating how it was administered. As a result, the colonial administrations varied depending on the colony to which they belonged. The views on The British Empire, during its height, were not a single monolithic view shared by all British citizens, but varied across the full spectrum from unwavering support to strong opposition. Joseph Chamberlain’s 1897 book The True Conception of Empire provides an excellent quote that sums up a common mindset of the era. "We feel now that our rule over these territories can only be justified if we can show that it adds to the happiness and prosperity of the people,
