History of India

The Republic of India may be considered the Home of the Indus Valley Civilization , the historic trade routes and vast empires. Various religions like Buddhism , Jainism and Sikhism , originated in this country and shaped is cultural diversity .

The country was colonized by the British Empire from the nineteenth century, having social, cultural and ideological influences of the colonizing country. Only in 1947 and after a social struggle for independence, became an independent country .


Contemporary India was started between the years 1848 and 1885.The appointment in 1848 of James Broun - Ramsay, as Governor General of the East India Company has prepared the country for essential changes and the transition to a modern state.These changes included the consolidation and demarcation of sovereignty, the surveillance of the population, and the education of citizens.Technological changes - such as railroads, canals and the telegraph - were introduced in the country soon after their introduction in Europe.


However, dissatisfaction with the Company also grew during this period and defined the Sepoys Revolt in 1857. Social British style, high property taxes and summary treatment of some rich landowners and princes, reforms contributed to discontent and civil unrest. Although the rebellion was suppressed in 1858, it led to the dissolution of the East India Company and the government of India came to be exercised directly by the British government.


After World War I, in which some one million Indians served a new period began. It was marked by British reforms but also repressive legislation, by more strident Indian calls for self-rule, and by the beginnings of a non-violent movement of non-cooperation, of which Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi would become the leader and enduring symbol.


During the 1930s, slow legislative reform was enacted by the British.

The Indian National Congress won victories in the resulting elections and the following decade had numerous crises.

The Indian participation in World War II, was the final push on Congress, and an increase in Muslim nationalism.

All were covered by the advent of independence in 1947 and the partition of India into two states: India and Pakistan.
