Sense of collective belongingness from the chapter Nationalism in India

A nearly perfect answer for this question.It is earmarked for 5 marks.

People belonging to different communities,regions or language groups developed a sense of collective belonging through the following methods.

1. In the 20^thcentury the identity of India came to be visually associated with the image of Bharat Mata. The image was first created by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. Abanindranath Tagore painted his famous image of Bharat Mata and portrayed it as an ascetic figure, calm, composed, divine and spiritual.
2. In the1870s Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay wrote ‘Vande Mataram’as a hymn to the motherland. Later it was included in his novel Anandamath and widely sung during the Swadeshi movement in Bengal and other national movements.
3. Ideas of nationalism also developed through a movement to revive Indian folklore. Nationalists began recording folk tales sung by bards and they toured villages to gather folk songs and legends. In Bengal, Rabindranath Tagore himself began collecting ballads, nursery rhymes and myths, and led the movement for folk revival. In Madras, NatesaSastri published a massive four-volume collection of Tamil folk tales, The Folklore of Southern India.
4. During the Swadeshi movement in Bengal, a tricolor flag (red, green and yellow) was designed. By1921, Gandhiji had designed the Swaraj flag. It was again a tricolor (red, green and white) and had a spinning wheel in the centre, representing the Gandhian ideal of self-help. Carrying the flag, holding it aloft, during marches became a symbol of defiance.
5. Another means of creating a feeling of nationalism was through reinterpretation of history. The British saw Indians as backward and primitive, incapable of governing themselves. In response, Indians began looking into the past to discover India’s great achievements in art and architecture, science and mathematics, religion and culture, law and philosophy, crafts and trade had flourished.

Power Sharing ------3 Determinants of social Division

There are three factors that seem to be crucial to the outcome of politics of social divisions.
(i) Role of Identity: First of all, the outcome depends on how people perceive their identities. If people see their identities in singular and exclusive terms, it becomes very difficult to accommodate. As long as people in Northern Ireland saw themselves as only Catholic or Protestant, their differences were difficult to reconcile.
This is how most people in our country see their identity; they think of themselves as Indians as well as belonging to a state or a language group or a social or religious community.
(ii) Role of Community and Culture : The outcome depends on how political leaders raise the demands of any community. It is easierto accommodate demands that are within the constitutional framework and are not at the cost of another community.
Like for instance, the demand for "only Sinhala" was at the cost of the interest and identity of Tamil Community in Sri Lanka.
(iii) The Role of Political Party and Government : In another way political outcome of social divisions depends on how the government reacts to demands of different groups. This is very much observed in Belgium and Sri Lanka. If the rulers are willing to share power and accommodate the reasonable demands of minority community, social divisions become less threatening for the country.
• But if they try to suppress such a demand in the name of national unity, the end result is often quite the opposite. Such attempts at forced integration often sow the seeds of disintegration.
• Thus the assertion of social diversities in a country need not be seen as a source of danger. In a democracy, the political expression of social divisions is very normal and can be healthy.

Difference between overlapping and crosscutting social division

While answering question on overlapping and cross cutting differences with an example ,the following information along with the diagram can be used.

Overlapping	Cross-cutting
When some social difference causes and overlaps with other difference.	If social differences cross-cut one another, then one social difference is compromised with the other
overlapping differences is the mixture of one or more differences caused by one main difference	It means that a group that share a common interest on the issue are likely to be on different sides on a different issue.
Example- racial difference between dark complexion and fairer complexion also refered as the afro-americans in the US becomes a social division because the darker complexion tend to stay unemployed due to their colour and tend to be poor & homeless, and often face injustice & discrimination.	Example -Northern Ireland & Netherlands both are predominantly Christians but divided between Catholics & Protestants. In Northern Ireland the Protestants have stayed richer than the Catholics here class & religion overlap each other, Catholics have been poor & have suffered discrimination
