HUMAN 1BS Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Soulforce, Swadeshi Movement, Civilization Iv
Document Summary
A: my countrymen believe they should adopt modern civilization and modern methods of violence to drive out the english. Hs has been written to in order to show that they are following a suicidal policy. The problem is modern civilizations, not empire: the partition of bengal & swadeshi, forging a nation, civilization, rethinking home , gandhi"s resolutions, passive resistance, non-violence, the partition of bengal -1905 - gandhi: the real awakening . Splitting bengal by religion and not given the right representation. Depending on where you live you can only vote for that religious section. Swadeshi movement: (swa=self) +(deshi=home/country, to make india self-reliant/self-sufficient -> cloth. Clothing was the same thing between them all. Critique against english cloth that is being imposed: responding to the partition, responding to the economic drain of india, unity in action (resistance) Main motto of swadeshi: let"s burn english cloth together . Be indian, buy indian - a child can even participate in making clothing.
