Over the course of a summer, Mariana loses her apartment and is homeless and desperate to take care of her children.

    Annie Besant and Bal Gangadhar Tilak (India in Nineteenth Century)

    With the establishment of British colonial rule in the nineteenth century, India was subject to a major transformation and challenge to the nation’s fundamental core beliefs. Prior to the dominance of the British, India was held by oral social and religious conventions and hierarchies. With the influx of the enlightenment, along with the introduction of print media and Western education, there was a shift from these oral traditions and conventions to a focus on the textual. Thus a need for a political body, to represent and question the forming of this Indian society, emerged and the Indian National Congress (INC) was born in 1857. A struggle for freedom was soon ushered in, as the repressive policies of the British Raj aroused intense opposition. Two key contributors in this freedom struggle were Bal Gangadhar Tilak (1856 – 1920) and Annie Besant (1847 – 1933). Although they had different beginnings, in opposing countries, there are surprising similarities and influences that led their lives to converge in the fight for Indian freedom. Although they differed with their religious and social beliefs, their need for an independent India united them and often saw them working together for the good of the greater cause.…
