Nationalism in India Semester-2 by Abhay Kumar Abdul Rahman Ansari

The purpose of this course is to help the students understand India’s colonial past, the shaping of the nationalist ideology and the unfolding of the national movement. Integral to the course is the understanding that ideas of democracy and freedom and corresponding social relations and political and institutional practices took shape in the context of the anti-colonial struggles. The institutions of the state, its policies, and the social and economic structures that obtain today, reflect the imprint of the colonial experience and the manner in which they have been transformed in the course of social struggles and the national movement.
