Developing India after Independence
Wednesday, July 20, 2016
Today, India is reflected as a developing country or a third world country. Triumphing expansion is a prodigious dream of every nation. On exploring the history of India, claims an extensive tradition from ancient period onwards. Nevertheless in the modern times i.e., 17th century the contextual of India changed profoundly as India turned into a colony of different powers.
India had been in custody by many refugees in the past, as India enriched with vast area and wealth. India was under The Delhi Sultanate for more than four centuries, The Mughals ruled for more than 300 years. There were other native kingdoms like the Maurya (322BC- 186BC), Chola (300BC- 1279AD), the famous Indus Valley Civilization (3300BC-1700BC) and many more.
British captured and governed India for 190 years by constraining the rule of Mughals, Marathas, Sikhs and Jats, though their access was a small trading company. British reign was divided into two, East India Company administrated from 1757-1858 and the British Raj from 1858 to 1947. India acquired independence from British on 15 August 1947. Freedom Fighters like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Sarojini Naidu, and many more used the practice of ahimsa or non-violence to be freed of the violent British.
India’s independence changed the whole scenario. Partitioned from Pakistan and Bangladesh. The government system transformed from monarchial to democratic and devours the first prime minister as Jawaharlal Nehru. The Judiciary system had also changed.
India holds the tri-colored flag designed by Pingley Venkeyya with 24 spokes blue chakra at the center of the flag. The top band is of Saffron color, representing the strength and courage of the country. The white middle band specifies peace and truth with Dharma Chakra. The bottom green band illustrates the fertility, growth and auspiciousness of the land. The Dharma Chakra depicted the "wheel of the law" in the Sarnath Lion Capital made by the 3rd-century BC Mauryan Emperor Ashoka. The chakra intends to show that there is life in movement and death in stagnation.
