దశాబ్దకాలంలోనే దేశం సొంతంగా రాకెట్‌ను తయారు చేయడంతోపాటు అంతరిక్ష ప్రయోగాలను శాంతి కోసం వాడుకోవచ్చునని నిరూపించారు. ఆర్యభట్ట ఉపగ్రహం సాయంతో శాటిలైట్‌ ఇన్‌స్ట్రక్షనల్‌ టెలివిజన్‌ ఎక్స్‌పెరిమెంట్‌ను విజయవంతంగా పూర్తి చేయడంతో అంతరిక్ష రంగంలో భారత్‌ తన ముద్రను వేయడం మొదలుపెట్టింది. తరువాతి కాలంలో ఇన్‌శాట్, ఐఆర్‌ఎస్‌ శ్రేణి ఉపగ్రహాల ప్రయోగాలు విజయవంతంగా పూర్తయ్యాయి. ఆఖరుకు చంద్రయాన్‌ –1తో జాబిల్లిపై నీటి ఛాయలను నిర్ధారించగలగడంతోపాటు తొలి ప్రయత్నంలోనే అంగారకుడిని అందుకున్న దేశంగానూ రికార్డు స్థాపించింది. హాలీవుడ్‌ సినిమా కంటే తక్కువ బడ్జెట్‌తో అంగారకుడిపైకి మంగళ్‌యాన్‌ ఉపగ్రహాన్ని పంపించడం వెనుక ఉన్న భారతీయ శాస్త్రవేత్తల మేధకు ప్రపంచం జేజేలు కొట్టింది. వీశాట్‌ టెక్నాలజీ వాడకం ద్వారా 1980లలో బ్యాంకింగ్‌ సేవలు దేశం మూలమూలలకు చేరుకుంది. ఉపగ్రహాల సాయంతో తుపానులను ముందుగా గుర్తించడం వీలు కావడంతో వేలాది ప్రాణాలను రక్షించగలుగుతున్నాం.

పూర్తి స్వదేశీ టెక్నాలజీతోనే టెలిఫోన్‌ ఎక్సే్ఛంజీని ఏర్పాటు చేసే ప్రయత్నానికి శ్రీకారం పడింది. 1973లో వంద లైన్లతో తొలి ఎలక్ట్రానిక్‌ స్విచ్‌ తయారవడంతో టెలికామ్‌ రంగంలో దేశీ ముద్రకు బీజం పడినట్లు అయ్యింది. అదే సమయంలో టాటా ఇన్‌స్టిట్యూట్‌ ఆఫ్‌ ఫండమెంటల్‌ రీసెర్చ్, ఐఐటీ బాంబేలు మిలటరీ అవసరాల కోసం డిజిటల్‌ ఆటోమెటిక్‌ ఎలక్ట్రానిక్‌ స్విచ్‌లను అభివృద్ధి చేశాయి. 1984లో శ్యామ్‌ పిట్రోడా నేతృత్వంలో సెంటర్‌ ఫర్‌ డెవలప్‌మెంట్‌ ఆఫ్‌ టెలిమ్యాటిక్స్‌ (సీ–డాట్‌) ఏర్పాటుతో గ్రామీణ ప్రాంతాల్లోనూ సొంత టెలిఫోన్‌ ఎక్సే్ఛంజీల నిర్మాణం మొదలైంది. ఈ టెక్నాలజీని ప్రైవేట్‌ రంగానికి ఉచితంగా మళ్లించడంతో మల్టీనేషనల్‌ కంపెనీల గుత్తాధిపత్యానికి తెరపడింది. గ్రామీణ ప్రాంతాల్లోనూ సమాచార వ్యవస్థలు ఏర్పడటం మొదలైంది. ఏసీల అవసరం లేకుండా.. అన్ని రకాల వాతావరణ పరిస్థితుల్లో పనిచేయగల భారతీయ టెలిఫోన్‌ ఎక్సే్ఛంజ్‌ టెక్నాలజీ సీ–డాట్‌ అనేక అభివృద్ధి చెందుతున్న దేశాలకూ సాయపడటం కొసమెరుపు!

India after Independence: A Journey of Progress and Challenges

India after Independence: A Journey of Progress and Challenges

India, a country that has been ruled by various castes and communities for centuries, finally gained its independence from British colonial rule on August 15, 1947. The Indian subcontinent faced one of the most significant challenges during this period – the partition of India and the creation of two separate nations, India and Pakistan. This division led to the displacement of several million people and resulted in widespread violence and communal riots.

Since then, India has witnessed a series of events and achievements that have shaped its identity as a nation. However, the journey has not been easy, with numerous challenges and obstacles to overcome. One of the biggest challenges has been economic development and poverty alleviation. India started as a predominantly agrarian economy, and it took several decades of planned efforts and policies to transform into one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.

What is remarkable about India’s progress is that it has managed to achieve economic growth while also focusing on inclusive development and social welfare. Despite its roots in a highly diverse society with multiple languages, religions, and cultures, India has made significant strides in ensuring equal opportunities and rights for all its citizens. Although challenges remain, the country has undeniably come a long way since the days of Mahatma Gandhi’s struggle for freedom.

India’s journey towards development has been driven by the vision and efforts of various governments and leaders. One cannot forget the iconic speech delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru on the eve of India’s independence, where he spoke of India’s tryst with destiny. The Indian national anthem, “Jana Gana Mana,” composed by Rabindranath Tagore, continues to play an important role in connecting the diverse states of India and symbolizes the unity and diversity of the nation.

Economic Growth and Development

Since gaining independence in 1947, India has made remarkable progress in terms of economic growth and development. The country has transitioned from a poverty-stricken nation to one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Through various initiatives and reforms, India has been able to create a broad and ambitious plan for economic growth, with the goal of reaching a GDP of $5 trillion by 2023.

One of the key milestones in India’s economic journey was the Green Revolution in the 1960s, which focused on increasing agricultural production. This led to a significant increase in food production and helped India become self-sufficient in food grains. The economic reforms of the 1990s, initiated by then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, opened up the Indian economy to the world and led to a wave of globalization and liberalization.

However, India still faces many challenges in its quest for economic development. Poverty and income inequality continue to be significant issues, with a large percentage of the population living below the poverty line. The healthcare sector also faces challenges, with inadequate access to quality healthcare for many Indians.

In recent times, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on India’s economy. The country witnessed a contraction in economic growth rates and a rise in unemployment. However, the Indian government has launched various initiatives to revive the economy, such as the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan (Self-Reliant India Campaign) and the National Education Policy 2020.

Social Progress and Welfare

Education and literacy.

One of the most vital milestones in India’s social progress has been the improvement in education and literacy rates. At the time of independence, the literacy rate was around 12%. Now, it has increased to over 74%. The government has focused on creating educational institutions and ensuring access to quality education for all. Scholarships, free mid-day meals, and loan schemes have been introduced to encourage underprivileged children to pursue education.

Moreover, there has been a significant increase in the number of educated individuals. The number of universities and colleges has grown, leading to more young adults receiving higher education degrees. This has had a positive impact on the overall social and economic development of the country.

Healthcare and Welfare

India has also made immense progress in improving healthcare services and welfare programs. The government has established healthcare centers and hospitals across the country, making healthcare more accessible to all sections of society.

Efforts have been made to address the issue of poverty and reduce inequality. Welfare schemes like the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) provide employment opportunities for rural Indians and ensure a minimum wage. The government has also initiated programs to provide food security, housing, and sanitation facilities to those in need.

Women Empowerment

India has taken significant steps towards empowering women and reducing gender inequality. Several laws have been enacted to protect women’s rights and ensure their safety. Initiatives like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (Save Girl Child, Educate Girl Child) aim to address the prevalent gender bias and promote education and equal opportunities for girls.

More women are entering the workforce and taking on leadership roles in various sectors. This shift has contributed to the overall progress and development of the country.

India’s journey of progress and challenges has seen remarkable achievements in social progress and welfare since gaining independence. The government’s focus on education, healthcare, and women empowerment has brought about positive outcomes and changed the lives of millions. While there is still work to be done to address poverty and inequality, India’s efforts in social development have created a more inclusive and equal society.

Political Evolution and Democracy

India’s political evolution after gaining independence in 1947 has been one of the greatest achievements and challenges of the nation. After centuries of foreign rule, India’s journey towards self-governance began with Mahatma Gandhi’s famous Salt March in 1930, which united people across different regions and social classes in their fight for freedom.

India established itself as a democratic republic after it adopted its Constitution in 1950. This marked a significant shift in the political landscape, as power was transferred from the British colonial rulers to the Indian people. Democracy provided a platform for everyone to play a crucial role in the development of the nation.

The Indian National Congress, led by Mahatma Gandhi and later Jawaharlal Nehru, ruled the country in the initial years after independence. They faced numerous challenges in their efforts to build a new India. One of the greatest challenges was the socioeconomic divide that existed in the country. Indian society was divided into different classes, including the agricultural class, industrial workers, and the bourgeoisie.

The Indian government adopted several initiatives to bridge this gap and uplift the marginalized sections of society. The First Five-Year Plan, implemented in 1951, focused on agricultural development and improving the living conditions of farmers. However, the plan failed to achieve its objectives due to various reasons, including a lack of adequate resources and inadequate implementation.

Despite the challenges, India’s political evolution and democracy have had a significant impact on the country’s overall development. India’s political leadership has taken several measures to address the socio-economic issues and improve the lives of its citizens. Initiatives in education, healthcare, connectivity, and infrastructure development have significantly changed the face of the nation.

However, there are still several areas that require attention. India’s rural areas, where a significant population resides, face challenges in terms of healthcare, education, and overall development. The government has been working towards improving the situation by implementing various policies and programs.India’s political evolution and democracy have not been without setbacks. The country has faced internal conflicts, regional tensions, and challenges to its democratic principles. However, India’s democratic structure has remained strong, and the people’s participation in the political process continues to play a vital role in shaping the nation’s future.

Cultural Diversity and Unity

Education plays a crucial role in shaping the cultural identity of India. Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation, advocated for education for all, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and equal opportunities. The partition of India in 1947 created challenges, but India’s commitment to education and cultural diversity has continued to thrive.

India’s cultural unity is often remembered in the form of iconic moments like Mahatma Gandhi’s speeches on non-violence and unity, virtual guru Ajay Gour’s evirtualguruajaygour speeches, and major festivals like Independence Day celebrations on 15th August. These occasions bring people from different backgrounds together, reminding them of the shared history and the values that bind them.

India’s cultural diversity has also played a significant role in shaping its polity and development. The Indian National Congress, founded in 1885, has played a crucial role in the country’s freedom struggle and subsequent governance. The party’s inclusive approach and focus on the upliftment of marginalized sections of society have helped create a more inclusive and equitable society.

India’s journey after independence has seen immense achievements in various fields. The country has transformed from a predominantly agricultural economy to a global powerhouse in sectors like information technology, manufacturing, and services. The Green Revolution and other agricultural reforms have helped increase food production, alleviating poverty and improving living standards.

When it comes to healthcare and well-being, India has made significant strides as well. The country has witnessed a decline in infant mortality rates, increased life expectancy, and improved access to healthcare services. Initiatives like the National Health Mission have focused on providing affordable and quality healthcare to all.

India’s cultural diversity has also had an impact on its foreign policy and international relations. The country’s policy of non-alignment and its participation in various global movements like the Non-Aligned Movement have projected India as a leader that stands for peace, justice, and equality. India’s contribution to United Nations peacekeeping missions is another testament to its commitment to global harmony.

The government has focused on expanding healthcare infrastructure, improving access to medical facilities, and implementing various healthcare programs. The introduction of the National Health Policy in 1983 played a crucial role in improving healthcare services across the country. It led to the establishment and expansion of public health centers, hospitals, and medical colleges.

India has also embraced technology in education, with the introduction of e-learning platforms and online education.

What challenges does India face in improving healthcare?

Despite the progress made in healthcare, India still faces numerous challenges. One of the major challenges is the lack of adequate infrastructure and healthcare facilities in rural areas.

Additionally, the cost of healthcare and medicines can be a barrier for many people, especially those from low-income families.

What are the challenges in improving education in India?

Improving education in India faces several challenges. One of the main challenges is the high dropout rate among students, particularly in rural areas. Poverty and lack of infrastructure often lead to children being unable to continue their education. Another challenge is the quality of education, with many schools lacking proper facilities, qualified teachers, and effective teaching methods. Gender disparity is also a challenge, with girls facing barriers to accessing education, especially in conservative and disadvantaged communities. Additionally, there is a need for vocational and skill-based education to meet the demands of the job market.

Understanding Reforms: Post-1991 India

3 The Development Strategy after Independence

  • Published: August 2012
  • Cite Icon Cite
  • Permissions Icon Permissions

This chapter describes the development strategy in the post-Independence era, and the ideology guiding it. . Idealistic political leadership of post-Independence India started a unique and historically untried and untested experiment of democratic socialism in a low-income economy. This new institutional matrix consisted of a regulatory regime comprising three elements: public sector expansion, discretionary controls over markets and private economic activities, and stringent foreign exchange and import controls. The tightening of the regulatory regime on ideological grounds without regard to its effectiveness in obtaining the socialist goals provoked the basic incompatibility of the three elements of the new institutional matrix with the mixed economy institutional environment. Self-reliance under the influence of the ideology of economic nationalism was wrongly equated with self-sufficiency. This institutional matrix throws into sharp relief the remarkable institutional transformation in reverse that began with the post-1991 reforms.

Essay on “India after Independence” Complete Essay for Class 10, Class 12 and Graduation and other classes.

India after Independence

 Essay No. 01

There is no doubt that India has made tremendous progress after Independence.

At the time of Independence, most of the Indian people led a miserable life. They lived in huts, slums and shanties. They had no facilities and comforts of life. There was widespread illiteracy and child mortality was high. There was shortage of food grains and famines were common and many people died of starvation.

After independence, the whole scenario has changed. Still a vast majority of people lives in villages. But now the lot of villages has greatly changed. Most of the villages are electrified. They are connected to big cities with pucka roads. The farmers get bumper crops, thanks to the new agricultural and irrigational methods and the fair use of new seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, etc.

There has been a revolution in the medical science. Child mortality has greatly been reduced and life-span has been greatly increased. Nov, there are cures even for those diseases which were previously thought to be incurable such as T.B, cholera, heart trouble, etc.

New education, new machines, skills and courses have made India prosperous and an economic power to be reckoned with in the international arena.

Democracy has taken firm roots in India and a number of elections, by and large free and fair, have been held here over the years.

Heavy industry such as steel, cement, etc. which is so vital for infrastructure has been started on a large-scale.

Means of information and communication and entertainment have been revolutionized and India has become a giant in the fields of information technology and telecommunications.

India has also become a nuclear and space power and envisions to become a developed country by 2020. India has shown her military power a number of times by inflicting crushing defeats on Pakistan in 1948, 1965, 1971 and 1999.

In spite of this, there have been certain setbacks and certain intractable problems. The burgeoning population has nullified much of the progress. Rich-poor disparity in incomes is abnormal. Still there are some acute problems such as poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, corruption, female foieticide , etc. Let us hope all these will be solved sooner rather than later.

Fifty Years of Indian Independence

August 15, 1997 marked India completing its 50th Year of Independence. This is not a long time in the life of a nation, but it has been long enough to see the dramatic changes in all areas. In 1947, we threw out the British after a unique freedom struggle which gave the world the philosophy of non-violence. Over the years, there have been many things to be proud of, but perhaps as many things to feel let down.

When our independence was in its infancy, it had to face many hard and complex problems. The country was partitioned and millions of people were uprooted. Our Government had to rehabilitate them. At the same time, Pakistan unleased tribals to attack Kashmir, which had acceded to and become a part of India. Razakaars in Hyderabad rebelled against our Government. Other Maharajas tried to form independent States. But, thank God, all these difficulties were overcome with the help of our great leaders like Sardar Patel.

The first goal achieved by free India was to consolidate the various units of the country and to absorb six hundred and odd princely States. This unified the country and its people.

On January 26, 1950, India was declared a ‘Republic’ after adopting a new Constitution. It guaranteed to secure for all its citizens justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. It declared Hindi as the National Language and 18 others as recognised regional languages. It also declared India a secular state and there is no discrimination against any person on grounds of religion, race, caste or creed.

General elections, based on universal adult franchise, have been held thirteen times during the last five decades. As a result of the elections held in 1989, National Front Government came to power at the Centre and in many States. However, in 1991, Congress again captured the power at Centre by virtue of its being the largest single party. But in 1996, the United Front again came to power with the help of Congress. In 1999, BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) came to power at the Centre. The fact in this process lies in the peaceful transfer of power every time which indeed symbolises the true democratic character of polity.

During these years, we have successfully completed eight Five-Year Plans. These have imparted a measure of strength and stability to our economy. Per capita income has been increased from Rs. 466 in 1950-51 to Rs. 9,377 in 1996-97. Both agricultural and industrial productions have increased considerably. The production of food grains increased from 52.2 million tones in 1951-52 to 199.32 million tons in 1996-97.

Encouraged by the success of eight Plans, India has now launched the Ninth Five-Year Plan. The Plan, which covers the period 1997-2002, envisages a total outlay of Rs. 8,59,200 crore. The Plan aims at the growth rate of 6.5 per cent per annum for the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It assumes the Incremental Capital Output Ratio (ICOR) of 4.3, saving rate of 26.1 per cent, Current Account Deficit of 2.1 per cent. This growth is to be achieved by 3.9 per cent growth in agriculture, 8.2 per cent in industry and 11.8 per cent in exports.

On Economic front, the Liberalised Economic Policy was introduced in 1991. At that time Indian economy was undergoing a serious crisis. Industry and agriculture were stagnant; the financial sector was in doldrums; a huge fiscal deficit was mounting with a massive foreign debt, eating into a major chunk of our resources. The masses had been facing a double-digit rate of inflation. The new policy aimed at the dismantling of controls over the economy with the state yielding to market economy. As a result of new liberalised policy, growth rate during the Eighth Plan was 6.8 per cent. Foreign exchange reserves increased to $ 29.435 billion in Sept. 1997 and rate of inflation fell to all-time lower of about 4 per cent in 1997.

On scientific front, India since Independence has continued to march ahead, pursuing a programme of using modern science and technology for national development. At present, we spend about 0.83 per cent of our GNP on S & T development. We have made laudable achievements in water management, healthcare system, and nuclear power capacity. The space programme has envisaged and achieved the objectives of space-based services in areas of communications, meteorology, resource survey and management and development of Satellite Launch Vehicles (SLV and PSLV) and associated ground system, the GRAM SAT and Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS Series) are testimony to the Indian excellence and endeavours.

However, the impact of scientific and technological endeavour is more obvious in some areas than others. Industrial advancement, noteworthy achievements in space applications, defence, advance materials and nuclear research do not quite mitigate the misery of a large sections of our population having to exist in unsanitary conditions, without safe drinking water, with little or no medical facilities to help them overcome health hazards. A large number of our villages are steeped in poverty, still unlit, lacking in schools and easy means of communication.

On the diplomatic front, India has obdurately maintained its commitment since Independence, to genuine disarmament, and has continued its work for attaining on a time-bound basis, a nuclear weapon-free world. India has never accepted discriminating regimes like NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) and is always happy to participate in non-discriminatory and fair global treaties like the chemical weapons convention. India feels committed to non-alignment but recognises that certain ennui has developed about it in several of old faithful member-states, and apathy in certain others. India is now experiencing a difficult phase in its relations with the West as they strive to effect fundamental economic, social, and political changes within our own societies. In the broad areas relating to India’s foreign policy, defence and strategic concerns, there is little, if any, disagreement, or difference of perception between and amongst our political parties, regions or states.

However, during the last five decades our failures have been much more than our achievements. Our greatest failure is in the eradication of corruption, which is a bigger threat than even external aggression. It is a fact that India has been listed as the seventh most corrupt country in the world. Corruption has grown because the culprits, especially those in high offices, have discovered that the arm of the law is never long enough to rope them.

If there is one gaping hole in our roster of achievements, 50 years after Independence, it is the number of citizens who continue to be ground down by poverty. By Planning Commission’s own reckoning, nearly 30 per cent of Indians live below poverty line. Poverty not only affects its victims but also acts as a fetter on the overall development and progress of society. It limits the size of the domestic market and hampers economy’s growth prospects in much the same way as deficiencies in physical infrastructure do.

As far as education is concerned, in India about 105 million children in the 6-10 age-group do not go to school. Despite various pronouncements by all the governments and various programmes attempted for this purpose one cannot deny that the situation is grim. India has the dubious record of having half the illiterates of the world by the end of the 20th century. We have failed to implement what has already been laid down in the Constitution. What we need is to ensure our major social and economic changes. The causes of illiteracy are not going to leave us. If a substantial section of population is illiterate, it is because we have continued the colonial system more or less unchanged. Though, some additional inputs have been made and some marginal progress has taken place, yet it will not solve the problem. What we need today is a mass movement, a mass awareness against this malady to better the record apart from some Herculean efforts on the part of the Government.

Child Labour assumes the character of a social problem as it hinders, arrests or distorts the national growth process and prevents the child from attaining manhood. The estimates of working children in India vary from 50 million to a number much higher. The various reasons for the child labour in the country are cited such as poverty, wage structure, employment, illiteracy and so on. To abolish or eliminate this menace from our Indian society, integrated efforts are required. For this attitudinal change and sensitisation of employers, health and welfare personnel’s efforts to encourage small family norms are called for. Also, we will have to improve the economic condition of the adult workers.

An explosive situation is developing on the employment front in the wake of massive backlog in the creation of new jobs. Official figures concede that the country has entered the Ninth Five-Year Plan with a backlog of 7 million jobs that should have been created during the last five years.

Presently we have crossed the one hundred-crore mark of population, which is about three times that of USA and thus acquired the dubious distinction of being the second most populous country in the world. Compared to natural human resources of the country, India is definitely over-populated. Over-population is also due to increase of birth rate. Our annual growth is about 2.11 per cent. Closely related with population is poverty. So long an effective control is not exercised on the population increase, the nation will not get rid of poverty. According to UN projections, India’s population certainly neutralises much of the fruits of development.

At present, India has taken upon itself one of the biggest challenges of modern times, namely, economic independence through peaceful and non-violent methods. The aim set is to conquer hunger and unemployment by the process of bold liberalisation of economic policy. The success of democracy in India depends upon the successful working of new economic policy and removal of poverty.

Essay No. 03

Indian Villages after Independence

India is a country of villages. Nearly five lakh villages exist in India. While only about 28 per cent of the population lives in the cities. 72 per cent of the population lives in the villages. The villages thus occupy a place of great importance in the country. They are the base of India’s development in every sphere of life.

 There were many problems in the villages before Independence. The Government was quite aware of the backwardness of the people in the villages. The people in the villages were poor, backward, ignorant and superstitious. Their methods of agricultural operations were primitive. There were no schools, hospitals, banks, etc., for the facilities of the villagers. There were no proper roads, electricity and tube wells. As a matter of fact their life was a hell. The conditions in the villages were so bad that there could not be any social and cultural development of the people. But now the Government is seized of this problem and had drawn many plans and projects to help them and improve the conditions of the rural community.

Since the dawn of Independence, the conditions in the Indian villages are changing very fast. These have changed the face of the Indian villages. There are several types of changes taking place in the whole of the country.

To improve the conditions of Indian villages, our Government has implemented the scheme of Community Development Programme, which was introduced in 1952. These programmes have manifold activities. The activities have made a tremendous change in the socio-economic set up of our villages. There are various changes brought about in our villages. These changes cover all aspects of the community life.

The greatest problem in our villages was that of illiteracy. Due to illiteracy the poor farmers were the victims of superstitions and were also exploited by the money-lenders. The Government has opened night schools for the adults and primary schools for boys and girls. Now every village has its own primary school. High schools and Inter colleges are established at every twenty kilometer of distance. The result is that they are now educated, illiteracy and ignorance are thus fast disappearing.

Another change brought about in the villages is in the field of agricultural methodology. Till recently, most of the farmers were using the old methods of ploughing in their fields, or sowing seed and harvesting. However, the farmers are now using new techniques. They plough their fields with tractors, and irrigate their fields with water from tube-wells. For harvesting also, they use new machines. Now they have switched over to mechanised farming with the help of electricity. Electricity has now illuminated their huts. With the abolition of zamindari, the person who ploughs the fields, is now the real owner of the land. Cooperative societies and banks are the substitute for the money-lenders. These societies and banks lend the money on lower rate of interest and the farmers are now free from the cruel clutches of the money-lenders.

A great change has taken place in the political and social life of the villagers also. Before Independence, they had no say in the affairs of the village. Now Gram Sabha, Gram Panchayat and Panchayati Adalat are there. They are their own bodies manned by their own representatives. Due to the functioning of these bodies, the villagers have now begun to understand their rights and duties. They now take more interest in politics, the transformation being complete with even the ills of politics infesting the village elections. Another great change which occurred in village community is that the outlook towards social problems has become broad. They are now no more superstitious. Litigation has been reduced. There is less thought for untouchability and other social evils. They are now not particular about purdah system. Joint family system is crumbling down here also. Bonded labour has been freed and the recovery of loans given by money-lenders has been waived off. They are not slaves now, but free.

More and more facilities are being given to the villagers in the field of cottage industry. To promote the village industries loans are given to them liberally by the rural banks. The poor farmers can now start their own village industries or such cottage industries as basket-making, the mustard and rape-seed oil, soap and rope-making, poultry, fisheries, piggeries and many other industries to improve their economic conditions.

There are changes in others fields also. Roads are constructed by the villagers. Now every village is linked by roads to other parts of the country. Similarly, sanitary conditions have been improved. Hospitals and government dispensaries have been established to remove the illness and diseases which usually become a curse on community.

In brief, the fact is that the development of villages is in a transitional stage. The villages are changing very rapidly and the main structure of the rural society is in the process of change. The economic programme of the Government has proved a boon to them and thereby an attempt is being made by the Government to convert every village into a heaven provided the village community cooperates with it sincerely.

Essay No. 04

Political slogans often overrun reality. When Rajiv Gandhi coined the slogan “Mera Bharat Mahan” (My India is great), people appreciated the sentiment, but very few actually believed in it. Then came along the BJP with its new slogan “India shining” riding tall over the feeling of economic optimism which was backed by the plentiful rains in 2003 and the success of the Indian IT boom. Although the BJP failed miserably at the polls, the truth was and is that India continues to shine on. Sixty years after independence, India has emerged from the shadow of colonialism to position itself as the world’s biggest and rowdiest democracy matching its political freedoms with financial ones, unleashing a surge of growth and wealth creation that is altering the lives of its millions.

Twenty years ago the world equated India with snake charmers, elephants, half—naked fakirs, the rope trick, the holy cow, crowds and pollution. Now it is just as famous for its educated person power, its Bollywood movie stars, literary giants and its steel magnates among other things. Poverty remains, but there is renewed hope. There is a palpable feeling of excitement and promise everywhere. The new slogan is “Mera Bharat Jawan” (My India is young). It is incredible that despite India’s, ‘current’ third world status, she has guarded herself from dictators, military rule, civil war or foreign invasion and she continues to shine as the world’s largest democracy. It is no small achievement that India is now considered amongthe top ten industrial world powers, reflective of the country’s self-sufficiency. It is a matter of great pride that Indians have made it to the Forbes list of richest men in the world. The private health care infrastructure in India is comparable to any of the developed countries in the world. This has led to a boom in medical tourism with patients the world over arriving in India for medical treatments. Yet the challenges faced by young India in healthcare and medicine are many and enormous. Although, the infant mortality rate has been cut down by half the female infanticide rates still loom large. Although increasing numbers of children are receiving vaccination, many Indian infantsstill succumb to malnutrition. Infrastructure strains hard to keep up with the economic boom while corruption, discrimination, religious violence, child labour and female dowry deaths still prevail. Severe disparity is shown by its various states. While states like Kerala, boast of 100 % literacy and health indicators similar to those of developed countries, other states like Bihar and Madhya Pradesh show appalling statistics. One third of the married women and 45% of children under the age ten have nutrition deficiency problems. However, despite this, it remains that India’s massive shift in global perception is not a mere illusion.

India has achieved a lot in the sixty yearspost-independence however; a lot still needs to be done. Population was and remains one of our largest concerns. It also remains the number one reason why our infrastructure is compromised, why corruption is rampant and why our children die due to malnutrition. The emphasis has to be on education of the populace and sincere efforts need to be made towards providing better health care services in the public sector. Nevertheless, six decades after her independence, the world’s eyes are focused on India and it is only a matter of time before we evolve from a developing country into a developed country.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

Essay on India after Independence!

India is the world’s largest democracy. It is the only country in Asia that has remained democratic ever since it attained its independence from British rule. The only exception to this is the brief period of the Emergency in 1975-76, when the democratic process was halted.

But it is through the democratic route of elections that the ruling caucus was dethroned and an alternative government installed. But that did not last long and the Congress party returned to power by winning back the confidence of the people.

Many in the world were apprehensive of the success of democracy in India. Their belief was further strengthened when several countries in the region, including Pakistan, failed as democracies and chose an authoritarian and militarist path in its stead. But this did not happen in India, and we have crossed more than half a century as a democracy. India has falsified all the prophecies of doom. It is the ballot, and not the bullet, that reigns supreme in India.

India after Independence :

After a long and difficult freedom struggle, India attained her independence from British rule in 1947. But this independence came with the partition of the country. A new state of Pakistan was created with portions of Western and Eastern India, taken away from the Indian map.

West Pakistan took away Western Punjab, Sindh, and Baluchistan; East Pakistan was created with the partition of Bengal into East and West, the latter remaining with India. Thus, there was a long corridor of India that separated East Pakistan from West Pakistan. That such a formation of the new state was non-pragmatic and unworkable was proven by later events.

In 1971, East Pakistan broke its ties with the Western wing and became the separate country of Bangladesh. The subcon­tinent, which was once a single country, was divided into three nations. Meanwhile, the state of Sikkim, which was a separate kingdom ruled by the Chogyal monarchy, joined the Indian Union in 1975.

Independence arrived in India not only with ‘multiplicity of heritages and legacies’, but also with the pangs of partition that caused dislocation of populations on both sides. Several Muslim families from regions other than those that went to Pakistan decided to opt for the nationality of the new religious state and to migrate there, and numerous Hindu families from both East and West Pakistan got uprooted and came to India as homeless refugees.

This movement of people was not peaceful. There was a lot of bloodshed, looting, rape of women, and merciless killing of innocent people. After the creation of Bangladesh, several Muslim families, which migrated from Bihar and other adjoining states to the Eastern wing of Pakistan, suffered from similar discrimination and marginalization. India has become a shelter for several Bangladeshis who have crossed the porous border illegally and settled in several cities of India.

Their arrival in Assam, for example, caused serious problems and prompted the natives to raise the demand for repatriation of the non-Assamese. Speakers of Bengali and followers of Islam cannot be easily classified foreigners in the pluricultural society of India. Vote-bank politics has also helped in blurring their identities.

India inherited the legacy of British rule – a system of admin­istration, an army, and a democratic form of government, based on the Government of India Act of 1935. Most important was the fact that our country retained the name India that is Bharat. We remain the mainland, while the other states are historically the breakaway groups.

The transition from a colonial country to an independent nation was not easy. Partition entailed division of resources, transfer of government personnel from one country to another, and reorientation of the bureaucracy.

As Paul R. Brass says:

“In some ways, it is possible to view Independence and the adoption in the early years after Independence of a new Constitution as another stage in the evolution of India toward representative government in a process that dates back to the Indian Councils Act of 1861 and continues through the Morley-Minto Reforms of 1909, the Montagu- Chelmsford Reforms of 1919, and the Government of India Act of 1935”.But the new Constitution, which was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949, and came into force on 26 January 1950, has some new features, providing a sharp break with the British colonial past.

It adopted the Westminster model of parliamentary government as against the mixed parliamentary-bureaucratic authoritarian system inherited from British India. The new Constitution included a chapter on Fundamental Rights, and also on Directive Principles, which were not there in the 1935 Act. The introduction of adult suffrage was also a new feature. The Indian polity became a mix of the unitary and federal forms of government.

The new leadership was equally interested in bringing about socio-economic reforms for which the model of a ‘socialistic pattern of society” was adopted. The contradiction thus intro­duced between civil liberties and governmental control has been a subject of political protests.

In addition to fundamental rights, the Constitution made special provisions for the oppressed castes and tribes by listing them in a Schedule and thus designating them as scheduled castes (SCs) and scheduled tribes (STs). The British divided Indian society along religious lines by creating separate electorates, as part of their policy of ‘divide and rule’. But the new leadership of independent India discarded this colonial practice.

However, there was unanimity on giving special protection and privileges to the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, who had allegedly suffered from discrimination at the hands of the upper caste Hindus, and who constitute the majority of India’s poor.

Designating the new state as secular was meant to convey the message that the country would not differentiate between people on the basis of religion, but allow each individual, as part of his/her fundamental right, to practice the religion of his/her choice.

This was to ensure that communalism would be contained. However, the history of the country since independence has been witness to several communal riots and the growth of political parties along religious lines.

Even the so-called secular parties contributed – perhaps unintentionally – to the prevailing communal hiatus. In their enthusiasm to protect the minority groups, the secular parties became in fact promoters of communal interests in the hope of creating vote-banks. It led to a reaction amongst the majority group of Hindus.

The role of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in promoting solidarity amongst the Hindus is seen in this political context. These non-political organizations lent their support to the Bharatiya Jan Sangh in the early days of independence, and later to its successor, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The Indian polity in reality, and not as seen in constitutional terms, is characterized by a mix of tradition and modernity. The formal structure adopted in the Constitution has continually been modified by the social structure of Indian society, and by the personality profiles of India’s political leadership.

It is not the ideology, but the personality factors, that have led to the formation and dissolution of parties. Review of party manifestos issued during elections and the Common Minimum Programmes (CMPs) adopted by successive coalition governments suggests that there was little ideological distance between parties. Political distance is maintained despite ideological proximity.

The actually existing political structure has departed from the ideal as perceived by the founding fathers of our Constitution. Several amendments made to the Constitution tell that story, but only partially.

There is nothing unusual in this. All living societies continually change in response to the emerging new demands and by the behavior of its members in their different statuses and role relationships.

In the earlier phases, there were pressures from the rulers of princely states and owners of feudal estates seeking redefined roles as leaders in a functioning democracy. They entered politics by joining either the ruling Congress Party or the newly created Bharatiya Jan Sangh and the Swatantra Party (now defunct).

But as long as the nationalist leaders who took part in India’s freedom struggle were there to run the government, there was no threat to the Congress Party. The opposition remained in the minority, but was quite vocal in its criticism in Parliament and the state legisla­tures.

The vote politics that requires numbers led the ruling party and the dissident groups within it, as well as the parties in the opposition, to create vote-banks by invoking caste sentiments. Caste entered politics in the sense that there was, and is, politicization of caste. In this framework, even the minorities were seen as a ‘caste’ – the defining characteristic of endogamy applies to them as well.

If some political parties tried to woo the voters from a particular caste – Lodhis or Rajputs, or Brahmins others tried to woo the minority groups. One also notices a strange pattern of bringing together Muslims and the Hindu community of Yadavs, and other so-called Dalits.

While this grouping is based on sectarian considerations, it is called secular. But a coalition of castes from the Hindu and Jain and Sikh groups is decried as anti-secular. In retort, the latter call the former ‘pseudo-secular’.

In this process, words like secular and secularism have lost their originally intended meaning. All parties realize that no community or group can be neglected if one were to muster political support.

The secular parties cannot afford to neglect the Hindu vote, and the parties that are called anti-secular also have representatives of communities other than the Hindu. All parties, barring religion based organizations, claim to be secular.

Indian politics is characterized by an absence of ideology. Only lip service is paid to ideology. Parties are dominated by personalities. Leaders don’t leave and join parties on ideological grounds. Even the group of Marxists is divided into several parties. To quote Brass, “Indian politics has been characterized by an all-pervasive instrumentalism which washes away party manifestoes, rhetoric, and effective implementation of policies in an unending competition for power, status, and profit.”

The Congress party started as a movement that was joined by people from all sections; its sole aim was to oust the British and establish Swaraj. After the attainment of that aim, Mahatma Gandhi proposed dissolution of the Congress, but it was shot down.

The euphoria of independence was so overwhelming, and the leaders of the movement so respected by the common man, that the Congress party appeared to be the natural heir to the throne. Leaders defecting from the Congress party formed most other parties later.

Students of democracy know that its proper functioning requires an opposition. In the United States, for example, there are two parties – Democratic and Republican – between whom power alternates. But in India, continuance of the Congress rule with no threat of its replacement gave rise to, what came to be known as one-party dominant system.

People found this system similar to that of the Soviet state. This system fulfilled the requirement of the democratic process by creating internal dissen­sions within the Congress party itself.

These were referred to as the ‘ruling group’ and the ‘dissident group’, and power, particu­larly at the level of the states, alternated between these groups, but remained with the Congress. But India’s political situation is changing. This change is taking place on several frontiers. Let us briefly mention the major changes in Indian polity that have occurred since 1947.

Development of science and technology in India after Independence

Tejal Dimble

Developing India the country of Kanad, Vishwamitra, C.V Raman, and last but not least, India, the country of Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam. Comprising 17% of the world population, it is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. After nearly two centuries of despotic British rule, India gained independence in 1947. The British left India as a poor, dependent, underdeveloped, socially, and economically backward nation. It was the vision of Pandit Nehru, the first prime minister of independent India, and the need of India at that time that led to the foundation of the Indian Institute of Technology in 1950 after only three years of independence. These institutes, with assistance from international institutes, promoted the research in India. Nehru aimed to inculcate the scientific temper among the Indians. As per Nehru, “Science was not merely an individual’s search for truth; it was something infinitely more than that if it worked for the community”. He also aimed “to convert India’s economy into that of a modern state, and to fit her into the nuclear age and do it quickly”. The Department of scientific research and natural resources was also set up by him. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) also expanded during this time due to the initiation of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar, who is popularly known as the father of Indian research laboratories.

Development in defence technology:

Vulnerable India-China and the India-Pakistan border were the real concern for India. To secure borders, more advanced defence technology is needed. Thus, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) was set up in 1958. After its formation, it has developed several large programs and essential technology, including aircraft, small and large arms, artillery systems, electronic warfare (EW) systems, tanks, and armored vehicles, sonar systems, command and control systems, and missile systems.

Development in the nuclear energy sector:

The nuclear energy program of India has its origin in 1944. Dr. Homi Bhaba approached the Tata trust and, with their financial support, TIFR was founded in Mumbai. TIFR later conducted a number of studies in the fields of physics, nuclear energy, and cosmic rays. In 1954, the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) was established by the government of India. India successfully tested the first nuclear bomb in 1974, under the guidance of nuclear physicist Raja Ramanna at Pokhran. Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam describes nuclear power as the “gateway to a prosperous future”. India is currently suffering from electricity shortages. Even now, a large number of the population lacks access to electricity. To meet the rising demand, the country will need to produce even more power as the economy grows and the population grows. Energy supplies are being exhausted to satisfy current demand. We need to produce more energy for our prosperous future. Electric energy can be generated from the heat generated by nuclear fission.

Development in space technology:

For more advanced scientific research, with the help of Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, the Indian space research organization (ISRO) was set up in 1969. Aryabhatta, the first Indian satellite, was launched by the Soviet Union in 1975. In recent times, ISRO has conducted two successful space projects, Chandrayaan, and Mangalyaan in 2008 and 2014 respectively. At present, our main priorities are Chandrayaan-3 and Gaganyaan mission”.

This is the history of scientific research programs in India, but after digging into the past, let’s come to the present. Due to the initiation and vision of some great scientists and leaders, renowned institutes have been established in India, but today, students passing from these institutes are migrating to foreign countries and many Indian researchers are working with non-Indian research centers. If this process continues, this could prove to be a huge setback for the scientific development program in India. We are not far behind in terms of ability. If we take visionary steps, we can surely get positive outcomes.

Development of India After Independence Essay 4: 500 Words

India gained its independence from British rule on August 15, 1947, after a long and arduous struggle. With newfound freedom, the country faced numerous challenges, including poverty, illiteracy, and social inequality. However, over the years, India has made significant strides in its development and has emerged as one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. This essay will discuss the development of India after independence in various aspects such as the economy, education, healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure, and technology.

One of the greatest achievements of post-independence India has been its economic growth. The country adopted a mixed economy model, combining elements of socialism and capitalism, and implemented several reforms to promote industrialization and foreign investment. As a result, India’s GDP has increased significantly, and poverty rates have declined.

The establishment of the Green Revolution in the 1960s revolutionized agriculture, making India self-sufficient in food production. Moreover, the liberalization policies of the 1990s opened up the economy to the global market, attracting foreign investments and boosting exports. Today, India is one of the largest economies in the world and continues to experience rapid growth.

Education has also been a priority for post-independence India. The government has implemented various initiatives to increase literacy rates and improve the quality of education. The Right to Education Act, passed in 2009, made education a fundamental right for all children between the ages of six and fourteen.

The expansion of the education system has resulted in a significant increase in literacy rates, which have more than doubled since independence. Moreover, India has established numerous prestigious educational institutions such as the Indian Institutes of Technology and Indian Institutes of Management, which are globally recognized for their excellence in education.

Healthcare has also witnessed remarkable progress in post-independence India. The government has implemented several schemes and programs to improve access to healthcare services, particularly for marginalized communities. The introduction of the National Rural Health Mission in 2005 aimed to provide quality healthcare services in rural areas, which have historically lacked adequate medical facilities.

Additionally, the government has launched initiatives such as Ayushman Bharat, a national health protection scheme that provides health insurance to over 500 million people, further widening access to healthcare services. These efforts have resulted in improved healthcare outcomes, including a decline in infant mortality rates and an increase in life expectancy.

The development of agriculture has played a crucial role in India’s progress after independence. The Green Revolution, as mentioned earlier, helped the country achieve self-sufficiency in food production and ensure food security for its population.

The government has continued to implement various policies and schemes to support farmers, such as providing subsidies, promoting organic farming, and investing in irrigation facilities. These measures have led to increased agricultural productivity and income levels, contributing to rural development and poverty reduction.

Infrastructure development has been another focus of post-independence India. The government has invested heavily in the construction of roads, railways, airports, and ports, in both urban and rural areas. This has not only facilitated connectivity and transportation but has also attracted investments and boosted economic growth.

Additionally, initiatives like the Smart Cities Mission and the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana have aimed to improve the quality of life in urban areas by providing better housing, sanitation facilities, and utilities.

Lastly, the rapid advancements in technology have played a crucial role in India’s development after independence. The country has emerged as a global leader in the information technology and software services sector.

The establishment of technology parks and the promotion of entrepreneurship and innovation have fostered a thriving startup ecosystem. This has not only boosted economic growth but has also created employment opportunities for millions of Indians.

In conclusion, India has made significant strides in various aspects of development after gaining independence. The country has witnessed economic growth, increased access to education and healthcare, enhanced agricultural productivity, improved infrastructure, and advancements in technology. While challenges remain, such as poverty, inequality, and environmental issues, the progress made so far indicates a promising future for India’s continued development.

500 Words Essay on 75 Years of Indian Independence

The dawn of independence.

India, a land of rich cultural heritage and diverse traditions, celebrated its 75th year of independence in 2021. This independence, achieved after a prolonged struggle against British rule, marked the beginning of a new era of self-governance, democracy, and socio-economic development. The journey from 1947 to the present day has been a saga of significant transformation and growth.

Post-Independence Challenges

The immediate aftermath of independence was a period of considerable challenges. The partition of the country into India and Pakistan led to widespread communal violence and a massive refugee crisis. The new nation was also faced with the task of integrating hundreds of princely states into the Indian Union. Despite these adversities, India managed to create a democratic system, which was a remarkable achievement considering the socio-economic conditions of the time.

Building a Democratic Republic

The adoption of the Constitution in 1950 laid the foundation for India as a democratic republic. The Constitution, which is the longest written constitution in the world, enshrines the principles of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. It established a parliamentary system of government, universal adult franchise, and a commitment to social justice and human rights.

Economic Development and Modernization

In the economic sphere, India embarked on a path of planned development with the establishment of the Planning Commission in 1950. The focus was on self-reliance and the development of key industries and infrastructure. Over the years, India has transitioned from an agrarian economy to a diversified one with substantial growth in sectors such as information technology, telecommunications, and services.

India on the Global Stage

India’s foreign policy, characterized by the principles of non-alignment and peaceful coexistence, has evolved over the years. India has played a significant role in international affairs, be it the fight against apartheid in South Africa or contributing to United Nations peacekeeping missions. Today, India is seen as a major global player with increasing influence in international forums.

The Road Ahead

As India celebrates 75 years of independence, it stands at a crucial juncture. While it has made significant strides in various spheres, challenges remain. Issues such as poverty, illiteracy, corruption, and environmental degradation need to be addressed. The vision for the future should be to build an inclusive, sustainable, and resilient India.

In conclusion, the journey of India since independence has been a story of resilience, transformation, and progress. The 75th year of independence is not just a milestone but a moment of reflection on the past and a vision for a brighter future. The onus is on the current generation to carry forward the legacy of the freedom fighters and work towards realizing the dream of a truly independent, prosperous, and inclusive India.
