157 - The Role of the Indian National Congress and Political Mobilization (c. 1900-1947 CE) (S11E7)
Manage episode 479422928 series 3660442
This episode delves into the evolution and strategies of the Indian National Congress in mobilizing mass support for independence. We examine how the Congress transformed from a group advocating for reforms within the existing system to a powerful force demanding complete independence. The discussion highlights the challenges of uniting a diverse nation under one banner, the delicate balancing act of negotiating with the British while also mobilizing the Indian masses, and the tensions between moderates and extremists within the Congress.
The 1916 Lucknow Pact serves as a case study in the Congress's complex strategies. We also explore the impact of the Swadeshi movement, the promotion of Khadi as a symbol of self-reliance, and the regional variations in its success. Furthermore, the episode examines how the Congress navigated the complexities of modernization introduced by the British, and how this modernization paradox both aided and hindered their efforts.
