| (Online Course) GS Concepts : Mordern Indian History - Background to the rise of Neo-Nationalism Posted: 22 Jul 2012 11:07 PM PDT 
Subject : Modern Indian History
Chapter : The Rise of Neo-Nationalists or Extremists Topic: Background to the rise of Neo-Nationalism. Question : Briefly discuss the background to the rise of Neo-Nationalism? Answer: The rise and the popularity of the Neo-nationalists have also, to be located against the rise of religious revivalism. One of the most peculiar trajectory taken by any movement was perhaps that taken by the social reform movements of the early nineteenth Century. These reform movements e.g. Arya Samaj of Swami Dayanad and those that perpetuated to the Village level, though started with the aim of countering colonial influences also fostered religious orthodoxy and increasingly demarcated the communties. One such movement was that of "Cow Protection" with the first Gaorakshini Sabha founded by Swami Dayanand in 1882. Initially, protection of cow was primarily aimed at the beef eating English and also to a degree at the muslims Part of their aim was to petition government to stop cow slaughter. Cow protection societies soon spranged up across UP, Bihar, etc. These efforts were furthered by the decree of High Court of NWP in 1888 according to which, cow was not a religious object and thus its slaughter could not be held as violation of the law. The neo-nationalists had strong ties with India and they did not consider everything western as the best. They were more critical of the English. Their ideas and notions were more in connection with the problems of the masses. They were more reactionary than the moderates. They also encouraged the use of Swadeshi products for developing Indian industries. The Swadeshi enterprise can be traced back to Gopalrao Deshmukh of Poona who advocated use of indigenous products as early as 1849 and in Bengal it was encouraged through Hindu Mela or National Mela founded by Nabagopal Mitra in 1867. Rabindranath Tagare called for self-reliance / atmasakti through Swadeshi and national education. Lala Lajpat Rai, an Arya Samajist advocated Swadeshi cult in the Punjab. But since the neo-nationalists glorified the ancient past, they bypassed the medieval period which had Muslim power structure at the main seat of power. So India came to be identified as being Hindu. For this reason the neo-nationalists found very little support from the Muslims. The main contribution of the neo-nationalists was in mobilizing the masses, educating them to participate in the political struggle. The categories of Moderate and Extremists emerged on the basis of methods used. The purpose of both groups was same- not overthrow of the British Rule but obtaining a larger share of power for the people in the administration of the country. The extremists made the demand for Swaraj OR Home-Rule OR Self-Government their main demand and not just administrative reforms. The extremists wanted Indians to get a larger share in the administration of the country and end of British exploitation. read more © 2012 www.upscportal.comStudy Kits for IAS Mains 2012.Books for Civil Services ExaminationsGet Your Dream Job.
