Why India

social extremes.
A land full of mysteries and contradictions where everything
gets gigantic proportions.
A country of such a large development that the Occident is
still to understand.

History of India
The Republic of India may be considered the Home of the Indus Valley
Civilization , the historic trade routes and vast empires.
Various religions like Buddhism , Jainism and Sikhism , originated in
this country and shaped is cultural diversity .
The country was colonized by the British Empire from the nineteenth
century, having social, cultural and ideological influences of the
colonizing country.
Only in 1947 and after a social struggle for independence, became an
independent country .


Contemporary India was started between the years 1848 and 1885.
The appointment in 1848 of James Broun - Ramsay, as Governor General of the
East India Company has prepared the country for essential changes and the
transition to a modern state.
These changes included the consolidation and demarcation of sovereignty, the
surveillance of the population, and the education of citizens.
Technological changes - such as railroads, canals and the telegraph - were
introduced in the country soon after their introduction in Europe.


However, dissatisfaction with the Company also grew during this period and
defined the Sepoys Revolt in 1857.
Social British style, high property taxes and summary treatment of some rich
landowners and princes, reforms contributed to discontent and civil unrest.
Although the rebellion was suppressed in 1858, it led to the dissolution of the
East India Company and the government of India came to be exercised directly by
the British government.


After World War I, in which some one million Indians served a new period
began.
It was marked by British reforms but also repressive legislation, by more
strident Indian calls for self-rule, and by the beginnings of a non-violent
movement of non-cooperation, of which Mohandas Karamchand
Gandhi would become the leader and enduring symbol.


During the 1930s, slow legislative reform was enacted by the
British.
The Indian National Congress won victories in the resulting
elections and the following decade had numerous crises.
All were covered by the advent of independence in 1947 and the
partition of India into two states: India and Pakistan.
The Indian participation in World War II, was the final push on
Congress, and an increase in Muslim nationalism.
