Question

In the context of the causes of the rise of Indian nationalism, answer the following question:

Examine the role of modern transport and communication in fostering unity and nationalism among the people.

Answer 1

This developing sense of togetherness and nationalism was strengthened when the British established a new network of roads, railways, and the post and telegraph system. Social mobility and interaction have risen. Caste barriers came down. People from various sections of the country came closer together. They learned they had common issues, desires, and goals. They belonged to the same nation.
