    How Did Indian Congress End British Rule

    The Indian National Congress emerged upon the political landscape in 1885 as the natural culmination of the politicisation and education of an Indian middle class, its nucleus formed from a growing body of English educated professionals and artisans. Although a landmark in the formation of political and national identity on an all-India scale, the resonance of this political organisation in Indian society and its ability to mobilise existing anti-imperialist sentiments is marked by distinct periods in its narrative. Indeed even before the foundation of the Congress, there was an existing body of politically active organisations, such as the Indian Association, pursuing an all-India programme, promoting greater autonomy1. The early composition of the Congress leaders and participants tended to be Anglicized in their personal life and highly successful in their profession, consequently their ambitions of political change reflected these influences2. Prominent among these national issues were the progressive Indianization of the civil services and the army; the dissemination of mass literacy; and the growth of swadeshi industry3. The foundation of its support therefore was echoed by its initial objectives of social reforms, restricted to the urban middle and lower classes in the cities and towns. Such resistance to subjugation was not limited to the realm of expanding political…

    Samsung Brand Strength

    Samsung has managed to avoid excessive and unrelated diversification and channeled their resources around one or two dominant businesses. Samsung was previously engaged in manufacturing lower-end consumer electronics under a handful of brand names including Wiseview, Tantus, and Yepp, none of which meant much to consumers. To counter this negative trait, Samsung’s management decided to move up the value chain in an attempt to build a stronger identity; the company ditched its other brands consolidating all its resources behind the Samsung name.…

    Adivasi And Naxalites Analysis

    as far as Guha’s knowledge no Adivasi has ever served in highest posts and offices like president, prime minister, home minister, agriculture minister, defense minister, external affairs minister, and no Adivasi till date has been appointed as judge of supreme court, this itself show’s that how much they lack and even now they are confined till state and seen as discrete, broken-up and fragmented. Adivasi’s have not got a leader or person who stood for their rights and fought for them or to whom they can look up to as that happened in case of Muslim’s (M A Jinnah) and Dalit’s (B R Ambedkar and Mayawati). Dalit’s are also in minority but they lived in mixed communities with upper caste and their experience in oppression on them was also of same nature (prohibition from entering into temples, access only to inferior water etc.) and that’s how they became important for political parties for vote’s. But in case of Tribal’s there was variation in oppression exercised on them such as forest officials, moneylenders, development project, mining project etc. Even when it comes to media Muslim’s and Dalit’s are served better then Tribal’s. in this situation what Tribal’s were looking forward to were Maoist’s but there main aim was to capture power in Delhi through armed process and not social and economic development of Adivasi’s. In 2004 Naxalite movement led to merger for two parties PWG…
