Examine how British military reform, modern equipment, and the battle influenced the consolidation of the British Empire in India, including the Diwani rights and administrative power shifts.
Explore how subsidiary alliances and the doctrine of lapse, backed by the British, plus language policy and army expansion, fueled Indian frustration leading to the 1857 revolt.
Peasant and tribal uprisings mobilize grassroots political consciousness against British exploitation, targeting moneylenders and colonial infrastructure like post offices, railways, and police stations, burning records to symbolize liberation.
Explore the diverse strands of nationalism, from Gandhian and Muslim League ideas to revolutionary movements. Contrast gun-based methods with Gandhi's approach, and note jail hunger strikes and key revolutionary figures.
Under this module, "Modern History of India", we would be covering the major topics which are very important from the examination perspective like the 'Major Events in Modern History of India', 'The Great Revolt of 1857', 'Gandhian Movements', 'Towards Freedom & Partition' etc. Generally, when we talk about the term 'Modern India', we found a common problem people focusing or kind of encounter, that is they are not able to make connections between the different that occurred simultaneously in Indian History. Again, they think that 'Medieval India' has ended and now the 'Modern India' has started. But we need to understand that there is a kind of a fuzziness between 'Medieval' and 'Modern'. So we also need to understand that when one period just collapses into another; it doesn't exactly stops at that particular time or period and therefore there are many connections furthermore.
So at 'The Saviour Academy', we would try to exploit and explore these possibilities when studying History. Plan to spend two to four hours per week for five weeks on the course, which includes videos, text, labs, and non-graded assessments. Then show off your new skills and knowledge with an impressive final project. All the best with the course.
