The Integration Of Indian People

“India has never been a symbol of unity of Hindu-Muslim civilization. It is not possible for the British Government to create homogeneity between Hindu and Muslim culture and civilization as the two systems are distinctively opposed to each other. There is no way other than the partition of India”

In the story “Indian Education by Sherman Alexie, he gives the reader a quick narrative of his school experience starting from first grade and continuing all the way through twelfth. It is suggested with many exquisite and not so exquisite points about growing up and being schooled on an American Indian reservation. After reading the story for the first time much of the subliminal messages in it passed me by and the story came across as rather negative and bitter. However, after reading it again I was able to pick up much of the humor such as the analogy to Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham at the conclusion of the second grade. Such concluding remarks come at the end of each chapter and give the story a poetic tone.The story almost reads like

q. This shows that Nationalism still plays a large role in keeping India together, regardless of their diverse religious identities. Secularism

During their time rehabilitating there were some things to iron out, such as the struggles of fitting in, within both the short story and the forced assimilation of American Indians. While American Indians were in school teachers had wanted knowledge to be an Indian’s best weapon. Teachers thought that having the power of knowledge would help them get better jobs furthermore helping them adapt. Meanwhile at St. Lucy’s the girls were treated with rules gradually developing as the girls moved from stage to stage. Within each stage of the girl’s training there was a visible reaction for most girls, this gradual development would better prepare the girls for the outside world. Back with the American Indians, which had to get their haircut and

Following Indigenous peoples first encounters with Europeans the two-row wampum belt, which was meant to represent the harmonious relationship developed in North America with European settlers was created. This agreement began the first of many treaties that would later serve as the foundation in which Indigenous peoples would unknowingly take their first steps to beginning their long history of exploitation, assimilation and powerlessness within Canada. Through critically analyzing chapter 5 “the Indian Act and Indian Affairs in Canada” within the “Ways of Knowing” textbook, I will explore the intent of the 1876 Indian Act and its following repercussions on the Indigenous peoples it affected.

There alot of romanticized assumptions on this thread. There is no conclusive evidence that the colonists assimilated with the Native tribes. This evidence along with oral history is very problematic. First one would have to re examine known history as well as look through the understanding of both the tribes and the colonists.

Mary Rowlandson’s “A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson” and Benjamin Franklin’s “Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America” are two different perspectives based on unique experiences the narrators had with “savages.” Benjamin Franklin’s “Remarks Concerning the Savages…” is a comparison between the ways of the Indians and the ways of the Englishmen along with Franklin’s reason why the Indians should not be defined as savages. “A Narrative of the Captivity…” is a written test of faith about a brutally traumatic experience that a woman faced alone while being held captive by Indians. Mary Rowlandson views the Indians in a negative light due to the traumatizing and inhumane experiences she went through

The ideology of Pakistan was two-nation theory, according to which, Muslims and Hindus are two distinct nations from every aspect of their lives. One of the core reasons of the separation of the Subcontinent was that, post colonial Indian state failed to offer reasonable options to its Muslims minority to sustain in India. Therefore, the problem of minority rights was the cutting edge of all the political debates revolving around the formation of Pakistan.

During the British colonial rule in India, the British caused a separation of the Indians. One side of the Indians worked with the British army and accepted them, they were called the sepoys, and the other side of the Indians did not accept British ruling, they were called the indian mutiny*** or the sepoy mutiny. As stated in an article “1,200 civil servants could not rule 300 to 350 million Indians without assistance of indigenous collaborators.” In other words, the British needed the assistance of Indians to rule over them. Furthermore, the separation of two groups had caused violence and disagreements to occur. As illustrated in the movie “Rikki Tikki Tavi” the mongoose Rikki represented the sepoys. Because he lived with the British (the

Do the other minority ethnic or religious groups living in India see themselves as a distinctive and separate group that would rather form their own nation? Furthermore, I am interested in learning more about how India is able to function despite having such a diverse ethnic and religious make up. The British encouraged a divide between Indian Muslims and Indian Hindus. The British needed these two religious groups to be divided in order to keep their control. They wanted citizens to identify themselves through their religion, not as Indians. By keeping India divided, Britain would be able to remain in control. If Britain had encouraged cohesion and unity, would this have helped bridge the gap between these two religious groups? For example, the Great Calcutta Killings of 1946, could this event been avoided?

Near the start of the twentieth century, India pursuit for national identity concentrates on achieving individualism from British rule. Indian nationalism put the British Empire’s grasp on India at risk. Because of the development of extensive railway system across India to make possible the export of natural resources brought about the conception of national unity by passing the people of the subcontinent in easy contact to each other. Furthermore, the British knew that small party of foreigners could not manage and regulate large country of India. Therefore, the British form elite of intellectual Indian bureaucrats to control the country. The European structure of education made acquainted the middle-class

This caused great tragedy as it was assigned that the Muslims will have their own country, Pakistan and the Hindus will have theirs, India(mrdowling.com). The different ideologies separated the two and caused hatred towards one another; the society that formed from this was a common hatred that united each individual nation and with that came a theocratic government for Pakistan (mrdowling.com). This system of government later shaped the society of new born country, Pakistan.

Tribal people are defined as those who "have followed ways of life for many generations that are largely self-sufficient, and are clearly different from the mainstream and dominant society".

Due to the lack of cooperation from both the Hindus and Muslims with the Indian government, a separate country had to

India has many races, nationalities, castes, sub-castes and communities but so far the hear of India is concerned it is one. It is true that societies that have been integrated into bonds of unity have always enjoyed peace, stability, prosperity and permanence. And those torn by mutual disruptive tendencies among various sections of the society have always been short lived and become non- existent. The national integration is the process of uniting different people from all walks of life into a single whole. The most serious problem being faced by India in present circumstances is how to develop an atmosphere of national consciousness among so varied a people.
