The film “Rang de Basanti” depict today’s generation holding its own problem trying to find a purpose in life. It shows that today the people are free but somewhere deep it is still the same British India. The film is about six college student who love to have fun very much but gradually they get themselves into the history of India’s freedom against British rule which let them transform to the person who will sacrifice for its country. The film starts with the voice of Karan where he encouragingly says that ‘the beginning has to be made somewhere’ against the British imperialism. Different political parties and certain societies see the western culture to be threatening and dangerous which needs to be cleared out. The vast difference that …show more content…
The film is somewhat based on Bhagat Singh’s history where he always rely on the masses that could bring the transformation in the society; which should be the youths desire to go against all odds in mass with armed struggle to get popularity and success. The film is also filled with inspirations, social, political and moral that compel us to think about it. Just like Karan addresses, “No country is perfect, we have to make it perfect…..we will join the police force and become IAS and take it to the right course” which is indeed a thought provoking sentence. The film seems to have answers the youths are seeking for in this dark from the policies of the corrupted authorities which in comparison is same as that of British India. The British High Class people at the time before freedom and the Brown sahibs of today’s free India are same for their works are selfish; as shown by the film. The historical events shown in the film are used as a metaphor to highlight upon the struggling revolutionists against British. The cultural differences are also shown where the Britishers like to have Non-vegetable Items for their meal whereas, on the other hand Indians do not like to have non-vegetable items and various cultural differences resulting to

The British rulers of India helped settle 500 million diverse peoples with different religions all over India during their rulership, providing stronger communities held together by values of religion (Paragraph 6). However, the people of India were given little to no responsibility of themselves and their own nation (Document 1). Meaning the British also created a great divide of the native people and the British imperialists get to dictate what taxes and laws exist, all of which to only better the lives of themselves and did not pertain to the basic human needs for the people who actually lived in India. Paragraph 12 shows that the British did bring several different states of India into one unified nation to help establish an effective justice system, civil service, loyal army, and efficient police force to protect the people of India. On the other hand, document 2 shows that the Indians had no say in the taxes they had to pay to the British or how they spent their money as a nation.
In contrast,
The Destruction of Selfishness: Evaluating Relationships in “Five Little Indians” The selfishness of authorities leads to the downfall of innocent people. This is something that has not been a rare occurrence throughout history. Those who had power created residential schools for their own benefit.

Faced with many obstacles from poverty to racial stereotypes, Junior must override them if he is to make his life better than that of fellow Indians. Interestingly, rather than letting the obstacles hold him back Junior understands that his destiny is in his own hands and he must celebrate who he is even if it means fighting. In the end, we see a boy who have managed to overcome all hardships to get to the top, even if it means making tough choices such as changing schools, therefore is could be seen that race and stereotypes only made Junior
British rule over india as a colonial state was effective and precise in the eyes of British supporters, but it was only this way through its discriminatory measures, separating Indians as well as creating conflict, and was thusly not in the benefit of India’s natives. At first glance, it may seem that Indians were advanced by the efficient rule which the colonists employed(Lalvani). However, this governing body was led by a tiny minority of native Indians, outnumbered 1 to 15 by British invaders( Document #2). This left them all but voiceless as the British installed drastic laws such as the Rowlatt Act, meant to disempower aboriginals by allowing the British to imprison supposed terrorists, meaning protesters, without a trial(Gandhi). Still, the British feared further revolt among Indians, and with so few of them there to enforce their laws they needed a police force staffed by the very people they sought to oppress.
Although, it is shown in dramatically different
The book uses a teenagers perspective to exhibit these struggles. This helps teenagers connect to the book as even they might have perspectives similar to of Junior’s (main character). Both the authors use similar literary devices like external conflict, internal conflict and characterization to keep the reader interested in the text. In both the texts one can see that the thematic idea conveyed is that courageous people don’t roar about their strength, but they use it to benefit the community as a whole. Courage is
We are going to see to what extent we can say that Macaulay’s “Minute on Indian Education” reflects British society and the western point of view at the time. In a first part, we will focus on the opposition between Orientalists and Anglicists and in a second part, we will see about the western society seen as culturally superior compared to other nations and societies. On one hand, there was an opposition
