The Real Intention of the British in India
HISTORICAL INCIDENTS OF THE BRITISH IN INDIA
THE “DIVIDE AND RULE” POLICY OF THE BRITISH
The main characteristic of British rule in India was the “divide and
rule” policy, aimed at creating hostility among Indians – northern and
southern, northern and eastern, rich and poor, high castes and lower
castes, Hindus and Muslims, Hindus and Jains, and even among the
various groups of Hindus like Shaivites and Vaishnavas. The point was
that if they could divide a united power in several different ways,
they could thereby weaken a solid body of opponents, making it easier
to overpower them. This lack of unity was, and has always been, the
weakness of India and its people. The British also created Christian
schools everywhere and imposed the Christian “morals” on society,
justice, and culture.
The other important factor that had to be tackled was economic
exploitation: the British sent raw materials from India and brought
back finished goods from their industrial factories in England , such
as textiles, glass, paper, etc., to sell in India . Since the
industrial products were cheaper and the texture was smoother and
finer, Indian people started to purchase them instead of the local
production. The local self-sufficiency and prosperity of rural India
was practically destroyed, and many people became destitute.
The most profitable trade for the British Crown was probably the
indigo dye. In Bengal , farmers were forced to grow indigo plants as
monocultures instead of the variety of foods that allowed them to live
and prosper in a self-sufficient way. The money they received for
their produce was very little, and they had to pay heavy taxes that
forced them to get indebted with the money lenders or to sell their
lands to the British enterprises. These also used other methods to
drive peasants out of their lands, such as torching villages and
abducting women,
Bengal became the heart of the Freedom Movement, with such great
success that the British government started to worry. In 1905, in
order to weaken the spirit of the movement, Lord Curzon was appointed
to organize the partition of Bengal , with the prime purpose of
creating hostility between Muslims and Hindus.
…. on April 13, 1919, General Reginald Dyer ordered his 50 soldiers to
open fire without warning on a peaceful crowd of about 10,000 people,
men, women, and children who had gathered in Jallianwala Bagh, a
public square, for the Baisakhi Fair. …The official inquiry concluded
that in ten to fifteen minutes there had been 1650 rounds fired, 1200
men, women, and children had been seriously wounded, and 379 had died,
though unofficial reports gave that figure at 530. Under questioning,
Dyer seemed proud of his actions… Dyer was never punished for his
actions, although he was relieved of his command, and was actually
rewarded once he returned to England, and proclaimed as the “Saviour
of the Punjab” and even “Defender of the Empire.”
THE PLAGUE
We also have to remember that with the British came new
diseases that India did not have before, or had previously not been so
easily affected by them. While the British kept the people
undernourished, they could not fight off the diseases so easily. These
included small pox, tuberculosis, and typhoid. According to the
British Gazetteer, 19 million Indians died of famine around this time,
but 15 million more died of the plague and malaria during 1891-1900,
according to Air William Digby. Of course, the same thing happened
wherever the British went, including North and South America , where
millions of the natives died from foreign diseases.
THE FINAL STRUGGLES FOR A FREE INDIA …..
In 1925, on Vijayadashmi Day, Doctor Keshav Baliram Hedgewar
(Doctorji) founded the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS (the
association for voluntary service to the nation) in Nagpur . Dr.
Hedgewar was born in 1889, and in the span of 15 years, he made the
Sangh a national organization with shakhas (small centers) all over
the country. The members were called Swayamsevaks, or voluntary
workers. They played a major role in the freedom fight in India and
still carry national influence to this day, ….
The basic goals of the RSS included: To organize and unite
the various Hindu communities on the basis of their intrinsic common
culture and eternal values. To understand, advance, and uphold Hindu
thought, philosophy, and identity. To create a sense of awareness and
pride in the Hinduness that can enlighten life around us. And to
develop conviction in the Sangh ideology among all members of the
society.

society.
Thus, they were unifying Hindus of every class and
background without considering caste divisions. This was much needed,
and still is, and helped people focus on the common goals of the Vedic
philosophy which are applicable to everyone. The RSS also inspired the
feelings of patriotism. Many of its members participated in Gandhi’s
Satyagraha demonstrations. In this way, they worked in many areas for
the independence of India from British control, and participated in
the “Quit India” movement. In fact, by 1930, the intelligence
department of the British government submitted a report, which is
still within the National Archives, that states that the RSS was
heading towards the cause of attaining independence in a planned way.
Even during the time of partition, the Swayamsevaks went to protect
the Hindus who were being slaughtered while trying to leave Pakistan .
Thus, they worked in courageous ways for the benefit of people all
over India .
On the eve of his demise in June of 1940, Dr. Hedgewar
bequeathed Madhav Sadashiva Golwalker (Sri Guruji) as Sar-
Sanghachalak, or the next leader of the RSS. Sri Guruji was called
such because he had been given that name by his students while working
as a professor at the Hindu University in Varanasi , and also because
he had been initiated by Swami Akhandananda, a Gurubhai (guru brother)
of Swami Vivekananda.
Guruji lead the Sangh organization for 33 years, during which time he
traveled to every province of India twice a year, propounding the
logic of the concept of the Hindu Rasthra or Hindu nation, making it
understandable for both the simple villagers and the city
intellectuals. Because of his inspiring personality, he drew a number
of personalities to the organization, and created a dynamic band of
thousands of pracharaks (full-time workers) who took up various fields
of national work, such as education, labor, politics, etc.
Furthermore, influential affiliates, such as the Vidyarthi Parishad,
the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, the Bharatiya Vanavasi Kalyan Ashrama, and
others sprung up as an increasing number of co-workers with Sangh
ideology began to mold them in their respective fields of interest.
These have all played their parts in molding the independence and
freedom of India , and still work for the same purpose today.
