Abstract

The process of the decolonizing Indian history though seems to start with the independence of India in 1947 it actually originates in the high noon of colonialism in India in the middle of the nineteenth century So the present discussion begins with a prelude which contains the history of increasingly growth of conciousness among Indians which culminated in the development of nationalism among the largest section of the people But in developing national view the interests of the minority particularly Muslims who form one of the most important constituents of the national economy of India were not duly attended Such situation led to the achievement of independence with a partition After partition the transformation from colonialism to decolonization began with a quest for establishing an idea of India A constitution was adopted which insists on multitudinous democracy unity in diversity secularity with unlimited liberty of professing religion and social democracy with leniancy towards capitalism With adoption of constitution the process of decolonozing the state and government was started by the Congress with commitment to socialism and secularism but the populish design of the second generation leader of the congress transformed the ideologies of democracy as spent up forces as the leader themselves asserted to attain the position of dictator However the people rejected them but they manoeuvred to return playing majoritarian card But after return the third generation leader of the Congress indulged themselves in unlimited corruption which has been answered by the people by substituting them for Hindu majoritarian political organisation Thus the decolonizing Indian history starts with an aim of attaining an idea of India continues through clashes between majoritarian principles and substantive democracy which sometimes causes to pay bloody tolls
