What's the value in knowing about India and their encounters with Britain around 1858 through 1947? The time the British spent ruling India was
called the British Raj; during that time, the British tried to spread their ways of life while benefiting economically. They were drawn to India because
the Industrial Revolution was at it's peak and Britain was in need of natural resources which India had. To achieve that, control over India's government
was necessary and they ruined other social aspects on the way. When Britain took over India they were demonstrating what imperialism is. They
controlled all laws, how their taxes were used, what they could grow and sell, even controlling the languages and supposedly tried to improve things

"The spread of the English language allowed communication between people from different backgrounds" (Lalvani). Though it is true, literacy
percentages slightly increased under British rule, once India gained independence literacy rates increased dramatically (Doc 5). This might imply that
the English language was a good place to start but the British weren't much help after that. Lalvani claimed that health and life expectancies improved
because of things like vaccines for smallpox; though this was counteracted by the lack of food and increase in poverty leading to mass famines.

and how India relates to the United States. The first cultural domain discussed is a brief summary of the history of India in paragraph two. Immediately
following the history of India, paragraph three contains the economics and most prominent resources in India. The fourth paragraph explains India's
relation to the United States.

the 1600s that profitable companies like the East India Trading Company changed how India conducted business. By the mid–1700s, the East India
Trading Company became extremely powerful and would eventually take control of India's economic system. In 1857, the Britain conquered the
Mughal and French armies and took control of India.1 In the beginning of the transition, the British employed a more laissez faire approach of
tactfulness by illustrating to the Mughal's they did not intend to overrule their ways of life. Although the adversities of transferring to the Western

Adivasi In India
Adivasis are the indigenous population of India who predominantly depend on forests for their livelihood and identity (references). India has the largest
Adivasi (indigenous) population in the world accounting to 104 million (8.2% of the national population), yet it took government of India nearly 60
years to acknowledge the historical relevance of forests for Adivasi communities through Forest Rights Act,2006 (references). The disregard for
Adivasi societies is sometimes reflective even on community name assigned by the mainstream non Adivasis. For example, one of the tribal groups in
Kerala are known by the name Adiyas (ആദിമ root word which in Malayalam means slave). Assigning such community names by the non Adivasis
were some of the linguistic illustrations of Adivasi subjugation and dominance (references). Adivasi are primarily forest dwellers, grazers,
agriculturists, laborers and reside mountain and hilly areas adjoining forest areas (references). Contrary to the mainstream Hindu communities, Adivasi
are egalitarian group however, they are known to have strict gender roles and responsibilities. Women in Adivasi communities share accounts of a
mutualistic relationship with forests and natural resources developed through their material and non–material pursuits (references). However, colonial

This has provided women with traditional "cultural spaces." Furthermore, in the West the notion of "self" rests in competitive individualism where
people are described as "born free yet everywhere in chains." In India the individual is usually considered to be just one part of the larger social
collective. Survival of the individual is dependent upon cooperation, and self–denial for the greater good is valued.[10]
Indian women negotiate survival through an array of oppressive patriarchal family structures: age, ordinal status, relationship to men through family of
origin, marriage and procreation as well as patriarchal attributes. Examples of patriarchal attributes include: dowry, siring sons etc., kinship, caste,
community, village, market and the state. It should however be noted that several communities in India, such as the Nairs of Kerala, Shettys of
Mangalore, certain Maratha clans, and Bengali families exhibit matriarchal tendencies. In these communities, the head of the family is the oldest
woman rather than the oldest man. Sikh culture is also regarded as relatively gender–neutral.[10][11]
The heterogeneity of the Indian experience reveals that there are multiple patriarchies, contributing to the existence of multiple feminisms. Hence,
feminism in India is not a singular theoretical orientation; it has changed over time in relation to historical and cultural realities, levels of

Reaction is impulsive and rigorous in case of a threat. It is mild and lukewarm in case of an opportunity. Same is the case with going cashless. Cyber
security is one of the retarding factor which can cast doubt in the mind of people, especially in those areas lagging behind in financial literacy. The
mass should be made aware of the benefits of going cashless. At the same time, they should have the faith that their digital money is safe. India fares
quite high in the United Nation's Telecommunication Union's index of cyber security, placed in the' maturing category' at 23rd position out of 165
nations. However, most of the ATMs in India still run on the outdated Windows XP which is vulnerable and proned to cyber attacks. The case of 3.2

answer appears to be no, "No, not yet" (p332). Forster creates a world in which there are no connections, where Indians and Englishmen speak the same

it is highly unlikely within the context of the British colonialism. The barriers which prevent people from connecting and forming relationships, ...

b) One religions interest is always different from that of another.
c) The interests of the followers of the other religion are seen to be completely incompatible.
This ideology was constructed and injected into India by the British colonial authorities, during the British colonial rule. They did this with the main
intention to affect India's most crucial power the country's Unity in Diversity. The Hindu Mahasabha and the all India Muslim league where two

The Corruption Of India And The Problem Of Abortion In India
All around the world, an abortion is a very controversial topic and is talked about immensely. In America, when you hear people talk about an abortion,
you hear them make a big deal about it. On the other hand, within the Hindu religion in India, that is a different story. The first problem that arises with
regard to an abortion in India is how differently Hindu women are treated in comparison to Hindu men. As a whole, the government of India is trying to
control the people and the population of the country by controlling the "female to male sex ratios." As stated in the article Sexuality, caste,
governmentality: contests over 'gender' in India by Nivedita Menon, the government is trying to cut down the population for the "development" of the
country. As they are trying to do this, they are diminishing women and the rights that they have. The concern that the government should have should
not mainly be what the women and their bodies and the lives that they live, "but woman as key to the stability and reproduction of society and the
patriarchal family." As stated in the article, the population rise might not be a problem caused by women. It might not be a female problem because the
sex ratio was at an all time low for women as the ratio was 933 females per 1000 men in the 2001 census. One of the main reasons that the sex ratio for
women has gone down is because of the widely practiced selective abortion of female foetuses.

India consists of a diverse majority of cultures, ethnicities, and religions due to its large population. Multiple parties allow people to choose a party that

India 's Role Of India
The role of this specialist is to determine the role of India in the world trade of textiles and apparel, the political and economic orientation of India and
the adequacy of the infrastructure for trade, the currency used and the exchange rate that goes with it against the US dollar, and the opportunities for
foreign investment.
According to Technopak Advisors, India is one of the largest textile producers in the world and is still growing. They are second only to their neighbors,
China, and India is predicted to have a US$ 223 billion industry by the year 2021. In 2010 the Ministry of Textiles in India openly shared that textiles
were responsible for 11.04% of India's total exports. This year, according to ibef.org, textile exports were estimated to be around US$ 28.53 billion
from April 2013 to January 2014. It is clear to see that India is a major player in the world concerning textile exports and manufacturing and according
to Dr. A Sakthivel, Chairmen of the Apparel Export Promotion Council (A Brief Report Textile Industry in India, 2012), India will continue to advance
and reach roughly US $60 billion over the next three years.
India started its rise in economy between 1975 and 1990 when its economic growth was at 5% or higher. After 1992 it jumped to more than 6% and
then again in between 2003 and 2007 it reached 8.8% where it became one of the fastest growing economies in the world, after China. There is no

containing India proper, Ceylon, and parts of China. The term "Inner India" was used by Cosmas, to designate the silk rich country of Tzinitza, or
China. The roman monk Rufinus (c. 345–410), spoke of how Bartholomew, an apostle of Jesus, had been assigned to "Nearer India" which was a

Porters Diamond in India
Executive Summary
What are the secrets of India's success in information technology? By using Porter's Diamond Model, this article tries to answer that question. Based on
the analysis, it seems the only determinant in the Porter's Diamond that creates India's success is Factor Condition (i.e. the Indian intellectual capital
and "Indian connection" in Silicon Valley). The supporting determinant outside the diamond is the outsourcing trend in current global competition,
which can be considered as the Chance in the Porter's Model. This could be mean one of these possibilities: either Indian success will not be sustainable
or Porter's model needs revision.

But it is clear that the India's success came not from home demand but from US demand. Indian engineers have been for years working for US

According to Anna Lee Saxenian, an associate professor at the University of California at Berkeley whose research is a study about Silicon Valley's
immigrant, that "of an estimated 2,000 startups in Silicon Valley 40% are Indian–spawned." [4] The Indian connection in Silicon Valley, the intellectual
capital in India and the trend of outsourcing in current global competition altogether bring India a great competitive advantage.
Looking at the other two determinants of the diamond (Related/Supporting Industries, and Firm/Industry Structure/Strategy) it is not really convincing
that those are the determinants of India's success. Electricity, road, and communication in India are not good enough for supporting India in global
competition. Rivalry and Indian's firm structure are also not a determinant. Again, just like the Demand Condition it does not want to say that these

Tribal People In India
INTRODUCTION: WHO ARE TRIBALS?
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".
Constitution of India has not defined the word 'tribe' but Article 366(25) of the Constitution of India refers to the Scheduled Tribes as the tribes or tribal
communities or the parts of or groups within such tribes or tribal communities which the Indian President may specify by public notification under
Article 342(1) . The word 'tribe' means different for different person. For a layman it simply means simple folk living in forest and hills, for others who
know little about tribals consider them as colourful people famous for their dance and song, for an administrator tribal word signifies a group of citizens
whose welfare is the social responsibility of the President of India and for an anthropologist it means a special field for study of a social phenomena.
The Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes Commission appointed by the President of India on 28 April 1960 pursuant to Article 339 of the
Constitution of India in its report of 14 October 1961 stated that "As these groups are presumed to form the oldest ethnological sector of the population,

Immigrants From India, Pakistan, And India
INTRODUCTION
India is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations. With that, it came with a rich history and complex cultures in science, religions, art, and food
dating back to at least 5000 years to the birth of Indus valley, an ancient civilization that flourished around 1500 B.C. that consisted of two large cities
and more than 100 towns and villages. After the fall of the Indus Valley civilization due to infiltration from Aryan tribes, Hinduism became the
dominant religion of the subcontinent. From c. 268 to 232 BCE, almost all of the country was ruled by emperor Ashoka during the Maurya Dynasty,
who converted the country to Buddhism. It wasn't until the eighth century when Islam was introduced to India by Arab traders and established itself as a
political force. After years of nonviolent resistance of the two religions and British rule, the independence of India and Pakistan was granted in 1947.
Though, the terms "India" and "Pakistan" as we know it today were not called that before the partition of the two countries, it was merely a
subcontinent ruled by different emperors. As of today, the two countries has a population of 1.3 billion people, over four times that of the United States,

India 's The Partition Of India
The partition of India is one of the defining chapters in India's entire history. Although many different reasons caused the partition, political factors
were a key player in bringing about this monumental change in India's borders. The pre–existing communal differences between Hindus and Muslims
grew as a result of the fears of both groups losing power and giving up control to the other. The partition which was supposed to grant freedom and
independence for all Indians resulted in creating a deeper hatred and animosity which would cost countless lives through riots, rape, and mass murder
for decades to come. Gandhi said "in actual life, it is impossible to separate us into two nations. We are not two nations. Every Moslem will have a
Hindu name if he goes back far enough in his family history. Every Moslem is merely a Hindu who has accepted Islam. That does not create nationality.
. . . We in India have a common culture. In the North, Hindi and Urdu are understood by both Hindus and Moslems. In Madras, Hindus and Moslems
speak Tamil, and in Bengal, they both speak Bengali and neither Hindi nor Urdu. When communal riots take place, they are always provoked by
incidents over cows and by religious processions. That means that it is our superstitions that create the trouble and not our separate nationalities." He

Life of Buddhism: The Buddhism is one of the major religion in the world. Buddhism started in India and so many of its early symbols are related to
ancient India and Hinduism as well though their original meaning were often changed. Buddhism has followers all over the world most of them from
China, India, Sri Lanka, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, and Thailand. The Buddhism religion is over 2500 years old. The name of Buddhism religion came
from a person named Buddha. He was born Siddhartha Gautama of the Shaka. He was married and had a son. He was a teacher, but he didn't think to be
other than an ordinary human being. Other teachers were either God or directly inspired by God. The Buddha was a true human being, and he has no
inspiration from any God. According to Buddhism the man is supreme, and he is his own master and there in no other higher power that judgment over
his destiny.
According to the huffingtonpost.com, Buddha, was the first born child. He was expected to succeed like his father, and like all kshatriya men. He was
trained from a very young age to be a soldier. The term kshatriya means "noble warrior." Buddha was taught the alphabet and numbers at age 3, and by

needed. The Shafi League of AIML at that time thought that by opposing Hindu boycott, they would be favored by the government. In the end, the

British Imperialism In India
The effects of British imperialism in India were bad. The British ruined India's economy for the Indians. They took over the Indian government causing
the Indians to become dependant on them. Eventually the pressure built up and the Indians had a murderous rebellion, Sepoy Mutiny. Due to the
inherent racism inside the British they constantly kept the Indians a level below them. The British did so much to harm to the people of India.
I used many sources for this paper. One of the primary sources I used was Gandhi because he was able to unite people of India against the forces of
British imperialism. The other sources I used were secondary and came from books, news articles, and databases. These sources were used because they

To give a basic summary of what happened: "The Sepoy Rebellion... began in the barracks at Meerut, 30 miles outside Delhi. New Enfield rifles had
recently been introduced but to load them soldiers had to bite open the cartridges. The rumor spread that the cartridges were greased with pig and cow
fat. When 85 sepoys [Indian soldiers] at Meerut refused to use the guns and were put in irons, their comrades rebelled... killed several officers and fled
to Delhi." (Walsh 120). In Indian culture there are two dominant religions, Hinduism and Islam. The reason why this is important is because that:
"Cows are sacred to the Hindus–worshiped and never ingested. Pigs are vile, filthy animals to Muslims, and to taste any part of them is forbidden"
(Sepoy Mutiny Erupts in India). With Christianity being the dominate religion of England they did not necessarily care that they used cow or pig fat.
The fundamental disagreements between these religions created an air of hatred for each other, and the British completely disrespects the other two
religions by making them use pig and cow

India Dbq

  • 1. India Dbq What's the value in knowing about India and their encounters with Britain around 1858 through 1947? The time the British spent ruling India was called the British Raj; during that time, the British tried to spread their ways of life while benefiting economically. They were drawn to India because the Industrial Revolution was at it's peak and Britain was in need of natural resources which India had. To achieve that, control over India's government was necessary and they ruined other social aspects on the way. When Britain took over India they were demonstrating what imperialism is. They controlled all laws, how their taxes were used, what they could grow and sell, even controlling the languages and supposedly tried to improve things like life ...

Though it is true, literacy percentages slightly increased under British rule, once India gained independence literacy rates increased dramatically (Doc 5). This might imply that the English language was a good place to start but the British weren't much help after that. Lalvani claimed that health and life expectancies improved because of things like vaccines for smallpox; though this was counteracted by the lack of food and increase in poverty leading to mass famines.

Encompassed in the two pages are two cultural domains about India and how India relates to the United States. The first cultural domain discussed is a brief summary of the history of India in paragraph two. Immediately following the history of India, paragraph three contains the economics and most prominent resources in India. The fourth paragraph explains India's relation to the United States. 2. For more than 300 years, India known as the Mughal Dynasty, was led by many different emperors. It was not until the Europeans came around in the 1600s that profitable companies like the East India Trading Company changed how India conducted business. By the mid–1700s, the East India Trading Company became extremely powerful and would eventually take control of India's economic system. In 1857, the Britain conquered the Mughal and French armies and took control of India.1 In the beginning of the transition, the British employed a more laissez faire approach of tactfulness by illustrating to the Mughal's they did not intend to overrule their ways of life. Although the adversities of transferring to the Western norms by Indian populous were of great proportion, the British ensured cohesiveness by absorbing practices that were already in place in India. The practices the British melded their Western ideas with were of insignificant divisional political and economic areas. However, this type of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

India has the largest Adivasi (indigenous) population in the world accounting to 104 million (8.2% of the national population), yet it took government of India nearly 60 years to acknowledge the historical relevance of forests for Adivasi communities through Forest Rights Act,2006 (references). The disregard for Adivasi societies is sometimes reflective even on community name assigned by the mainstream non Adivasis. For example, one of the tribal groups in Kerala are known by the name Adiyas (ആദിമ root word which in Malayalam means slave). Assigning such community names by the non Adivasis were some of the linguistic illustrations of Adivasi subjugation and dominance (references). Adivasi are primarily forest dwellers, grazers, agriculturists, laborers and reside mountain and hilly areas adjoining forest areas (references). Contrary to the mainstream Hindu communities, Adivasi are egalitarian group however, they are known to have strict gender roles and responsibilities. Women in Adivasi communities share accounts of a mutualistic relationship with forests and natural resources developed through their material and non–material pursuits (references). However, colonial exploitation and historical alienation from ancestral land has impacted the socio–economic balance of the community with many of the human development indicators spiraling downward ...

Furthermore, in the West the notion of "self" rests in competitive individualism where people are described as "born free yet everywhere in chains." In India the individual is usually considered to be just one part of the larger social collective. Survival of the individual is dependent upon cooperation, and self–denial for the greater good is valued.[10] Indian women negotiate survival through an array of oppressive patriarchal family structures: age, ordinal status, relationship to men through family of origin, marriage and procreation as well as patriarchal attributes. Examples of patriarchal attributes include: dowry, siring sons etc., kinship, caste, community, village, market and the state. It should however be noted that several communities in India, such as the Nairs of Kerala, Shettys of Mangalore, certain Maratha clans, and Bengali families exhibit matriarchal tendencies. In these communities, the head of the family is the oldest woman rather than the oldest man. Sikh culture is also regarded as relatively gender–neutral.[10][11] The heterogeneity of the Indian experience reveals that there are multiple patriarchies, contributing to the existence of multiple feminisms.

Forster's 1924 novel, A Passage to India, begins and ends with a simple but complex question – can the English and Indian races be friends and, at the end of the novel , the answer appears to be no, "No, not yet" (p332). Forster creates a world in which there are no connections, where Indians and Englishmen speak the same language but do not understand each other.

In her ignorance, she regarded him as "India," and never surmised that his outlook was limited and his method inaccurate and that no one is India (p143). This passage, taking place at Fielding's tea party later in Chapter VII, brings to lights an undeniable difference between the English and the Indians. Forster shows that the Indians value the emotion and purpose behind a statement more than the literal words being said. Even though Dr. Aziz is ashamed because of his circumstances which don't allow him to have a mansion or luxuries in his home and the fact that he has not been to the Marabar Caves, he tries to fit in and socialise regardless of the differences between him and Mrs. Moore and Adela Quested. Aziz often tells lies in order to keep a conversation progressing smoothly and because he does not want to be seen as an Indian who cannot relate to what is being said whereas the English value statements that are true. The tea party at Fielding's home is an event which shows that people of different beliefs can socialise in an informal manner while getting along despite the colonialism which is taking place Fielding, as seen in this quotation, respects statements for their mood as well as their truth and this shows that he has learned to accept and appreciate the ...

India 's Independence Of India Political Gaining independence from Great Britain in 1947, India classifies itself as a "Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic" with a parliamentary system of government. Like the United States, India has three branches of government; the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches. The Executive branch consists of the President, Vice President, and the Cabinet Ministers while the Legislative branch consists of the Prime Minister (PM) and two houses: a 250 member Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and a 552 member dissolvable Lok Sabha (House of the People). Finally, the Judicial branch houses the Supreme Court of India. Each of the 29 states and 7 union territories have elected legislatures and governments or appointed administrators.2 Because the President of India is more of a figurehead when it comes to politics, India looks to PM Narendra Modi to lead in the functionality of the Indian government as most of the executive powers are exercised by the PM. During his latest visit to India President Obama met with both Indian leaders but discussed national policies, economic partnerships, and global green energy initiatives with PM Modi.3 Presently, the United States is looking to bolster its cooperation with India economically and strategically by increasing trade and investment and its overall integration in South and Central Asian markets.

These are all impacts of how IT outsourcing has effected India's economy as well as the people living in this country. There are challenges that come with IT outsourcing in India and the biggest one being there are competitive revivals that exists due to low switching costs. The biggest competitor currently to India is China. China has been investing a lot of money into its country to grow this industry since it has seen the positive impacts on India. One of the ways China is attracting companies to move to China is that its government is offering significant tax incentives (KPMG, 2016). Some of the other countries that are competing with India are Ireland, The Philippines, Poland and Malaysia.

The British Raj contained the direct rule for India. Britain having rule over about 60% of India indirectly and gathered the other 40% of rule through native princes such as Kashmir, who followed the policies that were implemented by the British. The British developed India's Infrastructure a great deal with more rail roads and telegraph lines also helping their economy with the development of tea, cotton agriculture along with coal and iron industries. Conversely, the policies that were created played a big role in the rise of violent conflict. Hansen Blom discussed in his book "The Saffron Wave," about how the rise of this strong nationalist nation being implemented by the British Raj in India, was worrisome to western observers as they feared that political mobilization was being granted to lower class individuals. It was perhaps no coincidence that it was inside such upper caste and middle class colonies, carefully separated from other parts of society, that one finds the deepest mistrust and resentment of popular politics. The government and democracy was generally denounced as the root of all corruption in the country and dominated by undeserving men and women who have risen above their station because of reservations rather than talent and merit.

  • 34. The Corruption Of India And The Problem Of Abortion In India All around the world, an abortion is a very controversial topic and is talked about immensely. In America, when you hear people talk about an abortion, you hear them make a big deal about it. On the other hand, within the Hindu religion in India, that is a different story. The first problem that arises with regard to an abortion in India is how differently Hindu women are treated in comparison to Hindu men. As a whole, the government of India is trying to control the people and the population of the country by controlling the "female to male sex ratios." As stated in the article Sexuality, caste, governmentality: contests over 'gender' in India by Nivedita Menon, the government is trying to cut down the population for the "development" of the country. As they are trying to do this, they are diminishing women and the rights that they have. The concern that the government should have should not mainly be what the women and their bodies and the lives that they live, "but woman as key to the stability and reproduction of society and the patriarchal family." As stated in the article, the population rise might not be a problem caused by women. It might not be a female problem because the sex ratio was at an all time low for women as the ratio was 933 females per 1000 men in the 2001 census. One of the main reasons that the sex ratio for women has gone down is because of the widely practiced selective abortion of female foetuses. Secondly, some people might be wondering what an ...

Cosmas Indicopleustes, an Alexandrian merchant, described India as a large region containing India proper, Ceylon, and parts of China. The term "Inner India" was used by Cosmas, to designate the silk rich country of Tzinitza, or China.

From c. 268 to 232 BCE, almost all of the country was ruled by emperor Ashoka during the Maurya Dynasty, who converted the country to Buddhism. It wasn't until the eighth century when Islam was introduced to India by Arab traders and established itself as a political force. After years of nonviolent resistance of the two religions and British rule, the independence of India and Pakistan was granted in 1947. Though, the terms "India" and "Pakistan" as we know it today were not called that before the partition of the two countries, it was merely a subcontinent ruled by different emperors.

  • 70. India 's The Partition Of India The partition of India is one of the defining chapters in India's entire history. Although many different reasons caused the partition, political factors were a key player in bringing about this monumental change in India's borders. The pre–existing communal differences between Hindus and Muslims grew as a result of the fears of both groups losing power and giving up control to the other. The partition which was supposed to grant freedom and independence for all Indians resulted in creating a deeper hatred and animosity which would cost countless lives through riots, rape, and mass murder for decades to come. Gandhi said "in actual life, it is impossible to separate us into two nations. We are not two nations. Every Moslem will have a Hindu name if he goes back far enough in his family history. Every Moslem is merely a Hindu who has accepted Islam. That does not create nationality. . . . We in India have a common culture. In the North, Hindi and Urdu are understood by both Hindus and Moslems. In Madras, Hindus and Moslems speak Tamil, and in Bengal, they both speak Bengali and neither Hindi nor Urdu. When communal riots take place, they are always provoked by incidents over cows and by religious processions. That means that it is our superstitions that create the trouble and not our separate nationalities."

After the Royal decision of the annulment of the partition of Bengal in 1911, Muslim League saw that in order to get their requests dealt with, they need to form relations with the Congress, the representative party of Hindus. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the member of Congress, also joined the Muslim League in 1913. After witnessing the annulment, he worked on a pact to unite Muslims and Hindus which was eventually signed on 30th of December, 1916 at Lucknow. The Congress accepted the Lucknow Pact, agreeing to the conditions presented by Muslims, such as separate electorates instead of joint electorates, one–third representation ...

Simon commission consisted of seven members and its chairman was Sir John Simon. The commission consisted of only British. In their Annual Session of 1927, the Congress leaders stated that they would boycott from any activities and proposals given by the Simon Commission. It reached India in 1928 and received a hostile welcome here. "Go Back Simon!" was the slogan of the time. Then the Viceroy, Lord Irwin pleaded with Indian leaders to cooperate with them. The Muslim leaders like Nawab Ismaeel agreed to it as he thought that by boycotting to the commission would promote Congress. The commission itself was secluded and appointed 3 members from the Central Assembly, whose services will be required when needed. The Shafi League of AIML at that time thought that by opposing Hindu boycott, they would be favored by the government.

They took over the Indian government causing the Indians to become dependant on them. Eventually the pressure built up and the Indians had a murderous rebellion, Sepoy Mutiny. Due to the inherent racism inside the British they constantly kept the Indians a level below them. The British did so much to harm to the people of India. I used many sources for this paper.

To give a basic summary of what happened: "The Sepoy Rebellion... began in the barracks at Meerut, 30 miles outside Delhi. New Enfield rifles had recently been introduced but to load them soldiers had to bite open the cartridges. The rumor spread that the cartridges were greased with pig and cow fat. When 85 sepoys [Indian soldiers] at Meerut refused to use the guns and were put in irons, their comrades rebelled... killed several officers and fled to Delhi." (Walsh 120). In Indian culture there are two dominant religions, Hinduism and Islam. The reason why this is important is because that: "Cows are sacred to the Hindus–worshiped and never ingested. Pigs are vile, filthy animals to Muslims, and to taste any part of them is forbidden" (Sepoy Mutiny Erupts in India). With Christianity being the dominate religion of England they did not necessarily care that they used cow or pig fat. The fundamental disagreements between these religions created an air of hatred for each other, and the British completely disrespects the other two religions by making them use pig and cow ...
