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 Indian
Nat ionalist Movement long before independence. Although the British retained supreme
authority in India unt il 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 far 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 start w ith effective instruments of central control.
After independence, how 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 also against India's old social order, they w ere
conscious of the need to in itiate 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 polit ics. 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 dif f icult. 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 follow ing problems was India faced w ith after Independence ?

(B) Lack of coordination betw een the Central and State Governments.
(C) Improper coordination of various Government policies
