Gandhi Unites India• To win against the British, the Indian

people must be United.

• Gandhi becomes the focus for the unification movement through his non violence movement and civil disobedience.

• Indians participate in protests and boycotts to make life increasingly difficult for the British

• The British simply do not have enough power to force Millions of Indians to do what they want.

These events, marches, demonstrations and so on, United the people of India (Hindu, Muslim and Sikh) against the British and hurt the British economy. They also turned international opinion

against the British.

By the end of WWII, England doesn't have the money to

maintain their control of India, and Finally, Indians are granted their

Independence.

Main Indian Concerns:

• Religious Freedom

• Cultural Freedom

• Ability to make laws that respect their religious beliefs and culture

• Control over natural resources like farm land, mines and water sources

• Freedom from foreign control

1. What do you Notice about the location of religious groups in India?

The Solution: Partition!

The day India became independent, she became two countries: India and Pakistan

Partition led to massive loss of life. Over 1Mil people died trying to get to their new homes.

Why do you think Partition caused such horrible bloodshed?

India Vs. Pakistan

Both claim Kashmir, its

lands, its wealth, its people and its water resources.

4. Why would the two new

countries fight so hard over Kashmir?

Kashmir CrisisKashmir Crisis

UN negotiated cease fire has only helped so much....small skirmishes and fights break out constantly

Conflicts like this…

• Have led both Pakistan and India to divert money to military programs.

• Both have nuclear weapons, mostly aimed at each other.

• Other social programs like education and infrastructure (roads, electricity, water, plumbing and so on.) have not received needed attention.

India holds an influential place in regional politics.

But... Both countries still struggle to maintain their own stability 5. How does this help the Terrorists?

Why are two unstable nuclear capable nations near organized terrorist groups a scary situation for the rest of

the world?

What can the US do to make this situation better?

HW: Finish Modern India DBQ

Mr Guha argues that democracy and nationhood in India face several challenges. Four of these are:

• Religious fundamentalism (an intense loyalty to a particular way of practicing religion, strong resistance to change) was once all over India, but is only fading very slowly.

• Government suffers from corruption. The police and bureaucracy are not independent but work for particular political parties.

• Scarcity of resources is leading to conflict and inequality. The poor suffer most from lack of resources, infrastructure (like schools, roads , plumbing and electricity) and water pollution.

• The gap between rich and poor is increasing. One example: India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, is worth more than $20bn, and his new home is a 27-storey high, 400,000 sq ft building in Mumbai, where 60% of the population live in grimy slums

Deep Question:

• To what extent is Mr. Guha’s assessment accurate? Please choose one of the above bullet points and provide evidence to support or contradict Mr. Guha’s claim and say why he is or is not accurate in his assessment.
