secularist one of 'Medieval India' - 'Modern India', which
puts Indian history in a universalist chronological structure."

India Company enjoyed little discretionary power and had
to always look up to Paris for all major decisions. This partly
explains the failure of the French in India."

century lacked a positive conception of an alternative society
- a conception which would unite the people in a common
struggle on a wide regional and all-India plane and help
develop long-term political developments."

shipping and export-import concerns in India were run

inequalities inherentin the social structure in rural India,

the stranglehold of this feudal remnant. This , however, did
not happen in India ." Examine. 25
(b) "The reorganization resulted in rationalizing the political
map of India without seriously weakening its unity. If
anything, its result has been functional, in as much as it
removed what had been a major source of discord, and
created homogeneous political units which could be
administered through a medium that the vast majority of
the population understood. Indeed, it can be said with the
benefit of hindsight that language, rather than being a force
for division, has proved a cementing and integrating
influence." Examine. 25
