प्रश्न
How did people belonging to different communities, regions or language groups develop a sense of collective belonging in the National Movement? Explain with examples.
उत्तर
People belonging to different communities, regions, or language groups in India developed a sense of collective belonging in the National Movement through various means:
-
Shared Symbols and Figures: National leaders like Mahatma Gandhi became symbols of unity. His ideas and non-violent methods brought people together from different parts of the country.
-
Reinterpretation of History: The nationalist leaders presented a reinterpreted vision of India's past, glorifying the times when India was united under emperors like Ashoka and Akbar, which fostered a sense of pride and unity among diverse groups.
-
Use of Vernacular Languages: The use of regional languages in the nationalist discourse allowed the message of the National Movement to reach different linguistic groups, thus promoting a pan-Indian nationalist sentiment.
By identifying common grievances and promoting a shared heritage and future, the National Movement managed to bring together a diverse population to work for a common goal of independence from British rule.
