Once the British began their cultural imperialistic acts, the populace felt robbed of their rights and authority to their own lives. Their birthrights and beliefs shined through a crusade of domestic rebellion guided by Mahatma Gandhi – “The father of independent India”. The Indians promoted the ideals of “swadeshi,” or self-sufficiency, and boycotted British’s commodities and services. Through persistence and resistance, Gandhi and the Indian people triumphed. After 25 years of constraint, Britain granted India full independence in 1947. Unfortunately, Gandhi couldn’t help all of India. Since the 1930s, acrimonious disagreements spurred between the Muslim League and the Hindu Indian National Congress. Two secular, democratic states now subdivided India – India and East and West Pakistan. Violence and bloodshed spawned between the Hindus and Muslims “…claiming more than 600,000 lives” as refugees moved to and from India. Rage germinated through their minds and Gandhi was left unheard. He believed in a unified secular country, but was ill fated. In January 1948, Mahatma Gandhi, was assassinated by a Hindu extremist. Personal and religious vendettas were midst between Hindus and Muslims. Wars commenced over regions such as Kashmir, and Bangladesh (See Exhibit 1) in 1948, 1965, and 1971.
