puts Indian history in a universalist chronological structure."

India Company enjoyed little discretionary power and had

to always look up to Paris for all major decisions. This partly

explains the failure of the French in India."

- a conception which would unite the people in a common

struggle on a wide regional and all-India plane and help

develop long-term political developments."

shipping and export-import concerns in India were run

antagonism that guided Nehru's attitude towards the

inequalities inherentin the social structure in rural India,

the stranglehold of this feudal remnant. This , however, did

not happen in India ." Examine. 25

(b) "The reorganization resulted in rationalizing the political

map of India without seriously weakening its unity. If

anything, its result has been functional, in as much as it

removed what had been a major source of discord, and

created homogeneous political units which could be

administered through a medium that the vast majority of

the population understood. Indeed, it can be said with the

benefit of hindsight that language, rather than being a force

for division, has proved a cementing and integrating

influence." Examine. 25
