The document provides context on the decolonization of India and Kenya from British rule. It discusses the countries before and paths to decolonization, including influential leaders and events. India achieved independence through negotiation while Kenya's independence involved violence from the Mau Mau revolt. After independence, India struggled with migration and border issues while Kenya's first president established a totalitarian regime. The document examines different theories for explaining decolonization, such as nationalist, metropolitan, and internationalist perspectives.
A detailed comparison between decolonization in India and in Kenya.
Includes an analysis if the countries before and after as well as the path they took to achieving independence.
Furthermore, it also presents the eyes of historians such as Wallerstein, Fanon, Keudorie, A.G. Hopkins, Spivak and more.

Towards A Modern Indigenous Historical Frameworksabrangsabrang
Independent India’s rendering of a historical understanding of colonialism and all its manifestations has been sorely wanting leading to the birth of a dominant elite that in fact has no real understanding of the critical issues that lay behind India’s struggle for Independence from foreign yoke.
Relieving our past from colonial, non-indigenous and prejudicial categorisations and understanding of the past will not only contribute to a more rich and creative understanding of it but could also, at this fragile juncture, contribute to a more rational understanding of the present. Within the broader matrix, the skewed understanding of the lasting exploitation(s) caused by colonial domination, especially in the context of neo-liberal economics that seeks to re-colonise third world cultures and economies needs to be factored in for the education of today’s young.
Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Vaccine management system project report documentation..pdfKamal Acharya
The Division of Vaccine and Immunization is facing increasing difficulty monitoring vaccines and other commodities distribution once they have been distributed from the national stores. With the introduction of new vaccines, more challenges have been anticipated with this additions posing serious threat to the already over strained vaccine supply chain system in Kenya.

Negotiated
Independence
10. Path to Decolonization
● India
o Mass killing in the border of India
and Pakistan followed
Independence
Make us question whether
Indian independence can be
truly considered non-violent
● 1 million killed
● 12 million migrated
o Mahatma Gandhi was murdered
by Hindu extremist who felt he
was too sympathetic towards
Muslims
11. Path to Decolonization
● Kenya
o Influential Leaders
Jomo Kenyatta
o Groups fought against British efforts to levy taxes,
conscript African men to be porters for the
military, and force African communities off their
lands
British led military campaigns to crush
African resistance
● part of the colony were under military
control until the 1920s.
o The British governed by indirect rule
Local African leaders enforced colonial
authority.
12. Path to Decolonization
● Kenya
o Political groups were organized along ethnic lines
Most Africans did not see themselves as
"Kenyan"
● Benedict Anderson’s “imagined
communities” were not at play here
o After WWII
African discontent began to boil
Kikuyu people (largest ethnic group in Kenya)
began a revolt
● Aimed at colonial system and africans who
were colonial supporters
o Initial feelings of national → rise of
the imagined community
This becomes known as the Mau Mau Revolt
● 1952-1960 Kikuyu woman in traditional
dress
13. Path to Decolonization
● Kenya
o European settlers prevented the
smooth transition of power
Opposed independence even after
the revolt
o After Mau Mau revolt,
independence became clear
o 11,000 Africans were killed
o Negotiations lasted for the next
three years
o Fanon would argue that the new
found feelings of nationalism would
be opposed to the ideas of
liberation that the Kikuyu people
sought
14. Can the Subaltern Speak?
● Spivak argues that the
subaltern cannot speak
● India and Kenya → show
another side to the story
● The ability of both countries to
rise above British colonizer’s
repression showed that the
subaltern had a voice
o Nationalist mindframe
15. Nationalist, Internationalist and
Metropolitan Explanations
India Kenya
Nationalist Decolonization in India was result of efforts made within
the nation to free themselves from British rule. Efforts by
influential leader, such as Gandhi, were the reason why
the country achieved independence.
Decolonization in Kenya was result of efforts made within
the nation to free themselves from the colonizer.
Primarily, by the Kikuyu people, who were the Kenyans
who initiated the Mau Mau Revolt.
Metropolitan Despite national efforts, the reason why independence
was achieved was because the colonies were costing too
much money for Britain and it would be more valuable,
for economic reason, to allow independence and remain
allied to the nation
Since the British were capable of ending the Mau Mau
revolt, it is clear that they could still control the country if it
was in their interest. They arranged to maintain support
of moderate Africans to ensure a close relationship
between Kenya and Britain after independence.
Internationalist After WWII, Britain had fought Nazi Germany and Fascist
Italy who sought to have an empire, therefore it made no
sense for them to hold their own colonies. The context of
the Cold War also made it hard for Britain to maintain its
colonies since the main goal was to defeat communism
and not maintain an empire.

17. A.G. Hopkins
● Argues that decolonization must be
understood broadly as a process of
globalization → in concordance with the
internationalist explanation
18. A.G. Hopkins
● The United Nations
→ weapon that is a
consequence of
globalization, only
become more
powerful with the
growth of
decolonization
19. Countries After Decolonization
● India
o Border and migration struggle between 1947 and 1948 as Muslims and Hindus try to
move to their respective nations
o Population has tripled since independence
o Nehru (Prime Minister) believed India should westernize, so he built factories,
highways and railroads
o India is still considered underdeveloped (or an emerging) country
This is one of the biggest consequences of colonization
● BRICS → all emerging countries
20. Countries After Decolonization
● Kenya
o Jomo Kenyatta → Prime Minister
o Kenya was admitted into UN under his rule
o Opened trade with Uganda and Tanzania
o HOWEVER
Considered a totalitarian leader
● He killed opposition and had only his name on several
election ballots.
● Gave land to friend and family, who in turn controlled most of
the economy
● Cult of personality → Was considered the Father of Kenya
o Based on Friedrich and Brzezinski → Totalitarian
