Spike’s Indoor Beach Volleyball and Rock Climbing Inc. caters to a niche market in the Canadian sports industry. As there were no indoor beach volleyball courts in Canada, Spikes faced little competition. The volleyball crazed locality of London, Ontario provided the perfect geographical location for the operations of Spikes. In addition to indoor beach volleyball courts, Spikes had also added an indoor rock climbing wall, a small restaurant with a bar, and had also upgraded the lighting, heating system, computer servers and had added a big-screen television in the lounge area. Spikes did face some competition in the rock-climbing wall division as there were 2 other competitors in the vicinity who offered similar services at comparable rates.…

The partition of India in August 1947 was a highly controversial event and has led to widespread speculation regarding its causes and consequences. Orthodox historians credit the creation of Pakistan to Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the leader of the All India Muslim League, and his determination to create a sovereign state for Indian Muslims. However, this view has been contested by a number of historians, who place responsibility for the partition on the political manoeuvring of the Congress and the constitutional reforms of the British Raj. Existing communal tensions and Hindu-Muslim differences have also been blamed for the split. Revisionist historians question whether Jinnah even wanted partition and have suggested that the 'Pakistan' demand was simply a bargaining counter to gain recognition for Muslims. I am going to analyse each interpretation of the event and question the true causes for partition.…
One inevitable impact the division had on the people was perhaps one of the greatest refugee crises and migration in history. Over 10 million people moved between India and Pakistan. For the most part, the Hindus generally moved into the Indian subcontinent while the Muslims, who feared Hindu domination, migrated to East and West Pakistan. In Document 8 it shows that there were around 8.6 million Muslim refugees that migrated out of India into either East or West Pakistan. In addition to this extraordinary refugee crises, another effect the division of India had was border tensions. The tensions between the borders of India and Pakistan resulted in India being at the “receiving end of Pakistan’s heavy shelling” and “heavy bombing” (Document 9b). This shows that not only was there a large scale migration crises, there was also several attacks and possibly deaths and casualties from bombs. Also, in document 9a it that states that another effect of the division was that there were “two armed conflicts (in 1965 and 1999) and numerous clashes between Indian and Pakistani forces”. This highlights the various facets of the tensions and problems the division of India had on the Hindus and Muslims. It is inevitable that the division of the region greatly affected the people who lived there by causing the largest migration in human history, armed conflicts, and…
India, specifically, had an internal conflict between two religions, Islam and Hinduism. This was first noticed at the beginning of the twentieth century when India’s All-India Muslim League was created as an opposition to the Indian National Congress. A majority of the Muslims lived by the Eastern and North Western parts of the nation. The Hindus primarily lived in the center and Eastern sides of the country. The areas which had a majority of Muslims separated from the rest of India, which contained primarily Hindus.…

As a Muslim, Aziz himself is only half taken with the idea of the modern nation as he recognizes the es of teleology and origins that accompany this model. He also experiences, though very sutally, which privileges birth,…
Indian politics has an important relationship with Religion. Religion fulfills the role of an ideology in a situation of transition when there is a plethora of new demands and constant adjustments have to be made. Both Islam and Hinduism in the late nineteenth century were trying to accommodate the new demands. This ruptured their earlier accommodations and led to conflict with the necessity of a complex interaction between nationalism and Religion.…

The central explanation for this interest was the upkeep of a different personality of the Muslim nationhood. Around the same time, the establishing of the All India Muslim League, a different political association for Muslims, clarified the way that the Muslims of India had lost trust in the Hindu-ruled Indian National Congress. Other than being a Hindu-overwhelmed body, the Congress pioneers with a specific end goal to win grass-pull support for their political developments, utilized Hindu religious images and mottos, along these lines stimulating Muslim suspicions in regards to the common character of the Congress. Occasions like the Urdu-Hindi discussion (1867), the parcel of Bengal (1905), and Hindu revivalism, set the two countries, the Hindus and the Muslims, assist separated. Re-revocation of the allotment of Bengal in 1911 by the British government brought the Congress and the Muslim League on one stage. Beginning with the sacred participation in the Lucknow Pact (1916), they dispatched the Non-Cooperation and Khilafat Movements to press upon the British government the interest for established changes in India in the post-World War I period. However, after…
