The main findings of the Hartog Committee

In 1928, the Hartog Committee was set up to support ways of developing education and media in India, The committee found that an increase in number of schools and colleges had deteriorated the educational standard in India. 

The committee was found that primary education was in a neglected condition, and hence it emphasized the primary education than higher education. It found that deterioration was also due to admitting undeserving students to high schools and intermediate stages. 

Further the committee also brought to the notice of administration, the neglect of emphasis over vocational education. It thus recommended that average students ought to be encouraged to take up vocational courses. The hartog committee also brought to the notice that the priority of the University education has to be improved and, at the same time, it felt that admissions to the universities should be restricted.

The partition of Bengal in 1905

Many reasons may be identified for the partition of Bengal in 1905. According to the British Government, the Bengal province consisting of Bihar, Orissa, Assam was too big to be welt governed. So it was felt that Bengal has to be divided for administrative convenience.  The British government actually was interested to check nationalistic feelings of Indians, so they partitions Bengal. Bengal was the nerve centre of Indian nationalism due to the rising number of attacks on the Britishers by the revolutionary terrorists, and due to the fact that emerging military nationalism had obtained a strong following in Bengal.  So it was this consideration which made the British partition Bengal under two administrate units;  1.  On the basis of language thus reducing Bengalis to a minority in Bengal itself.  2. On the basis of religion as Hindus in West and Muslims in the East. It was this imperialistic consideration that led to the partition of Bengal-and not the concept...

Subhash Chandra Bose and Mahatma Gandhi in the struggle for Indian Freedom

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and Mahatma Gandhi were infallibly dedicated to the cause of Indian freedom. They were loved by the masses and feared by the Raj. But between themselves, these two icons of India’s freedom movement shared a rather frosty relationship and history is replete with instances of trenchant differences between them.  Although Subhash Chandra was a follower of Gandhi during the initial days, the later part of the 1930 witnessed a growing radicalization of his thoughts and Bose became increasingly frustrated with the lack of momentum in the independence movement. As Bose started to assert his bold stance in various party forums, it led to a polarization in the Congress party ranks.  Subhash Chandra Bose found himself frequently at loggerheads with Gandhi and their differences often came out in the public. All these bickering reached a climax when Subhash Chandra Bose became Congress President for a second term in 1939 defeating Gandhi-nominated candidate Pat...
