Direction (15-19) The strength of Indian Democracy lies in its tradition, in the fusion of the

ideas of democracy and national independence w hich w as the characteristic of the Ind ian

Nationalist Movement long before independence. Although the British retained supreme

authority in India until 1947, the provincial elections of 1937 provided real exercise in

democratic practice before national independence. During the Pacif ic w ar India was not

overrun or seriously invaded by the Japanese and after the war was over, the transfer of

pow er to a government of the Indian Congress Party was a peaceful one as f ar as Britain

was concerned. By 1947 'Indianisat ion' had already gone far in the Indian Civil Service and

Army, so that the new government could star t w ith effective instruments of central control.

After independence, h ow ever, India w as faced w ith tw o vast problems; the f irst, that of

economic grow th from a very low level of production and the second w as that of ethnic

diversity and the aspirations of sub nationalities. The Congress leadership was more aw are

of the former problem than of the second. As a new political elite w hich had

rebelled not only against the British Raj but a lso against India's old social order, they w ere

conscious of the need to initiate economic development and undertake social reforms, but

as nationalists w ho had led a struggle against the alien rule on behalf of all parts of India,

they took the cohesion of the Indian nation too much for granted and underestimated the

centrifugal forces of ethnic division, which were bound to be accentuated rather than

diminished as the popular masses w ere more and more drawn into politics . The Congress

party w as originally opposed to the idea of recognizing any division of India on a linguistic

basis and preferred to retain the old provinces of British India which often cut across

linguistic boundaries. However, this was later conceded as the basis for a federal 'Indian

Union'. The rights granted to the States created new problems for the Central Government.

The idea of making Hindi the national language of a united India w as thwarted by the

recalcitrance of the speakers of other important Indian languages and the autonomy of the

States rendered central economic planning extremely difficult. Land reforms remained under

the control of the States and many large-scale economic projects required a degree of

cooperation betw een the Central Government and one or more of the States w hich, it w as

found, w as impossible to achieve. Coordinat ion of policies w as diff icult even when the

Congress party was in pow er both in the State and at the Centre. When a Congress

Government in Delhi w as confronted w ith non-Congress parties in off ice in the States, it

became much harder.

15. Which of the following problems was India faced w ith after Independence ?

(A) Military attack from a country across the border.

(B) Lack of coordination betw een the Centra l and State Governments.

(C) Improper coordination of var ious Government pol icies

(D) Increasing the production f rom a very low level

16. Which of the following issues was not appropriately realized by the Central Government.

(A) Ethnic diversity of the people

(B)A national language for the country

(C) Implementation of the formulated po licies

(D) Centre -State relations

17. Why w as central economic planning found to be diff icult?

(A) Multiplicity of States and Union Territories
