Notes
1919 Government of India act
2 votes, Hindu and Muslim. Sikh is there but cannot vote
1918 rawlatt act, jails the protestors. Amritsar. Riots break out and 4 Europeans are killed (probably only matters because they were white.)
Amritsar massacre, 379 die, 1200 injured
Mohandas K Ghandi, his title is Mahatma Ghandi. His family was very wealthy, and he was able to go to school. He tries to become a lawyer, and wants to do right by people. He defends Indians who feel themselves mistreated. He travels to South Africa, and sees the beginnings of the apartheid regime. Indians were part of the middle class, and felt they were mistreated. He returns to India in 1915, and sees the Indians being treated equally bad. Muslims were poor, and the English become the oppressors.
INC, Indian National Congress. Lead by Ghandi, and is the political voice for the Indian people. Ghandi believes that India should be free, and the Balfour report and the India act state the same. He begins his campaign of civil disobedience. 400,000,000 Indian people and the British population was 200,000. Simply not doing what they say will solve the issues.
The Salt Act, all Indians must buy salt from a British Company, which had a monopoly on salt in India. Ghandi decides to make his own. This is the beginning of the Salt March, which was a march down to the seaside and they make salt the traditional way.
Ghandi believed in an Egalitarian society, Muslims and Hindus could live together peacefully. There are problems with this, religion being one of them. The Hindus were very against this, and the Muslims were splintering into their own political wing, led by a man named Jinnah.
Hindus lead by Nehru, muslims led by jinnah
Jinnah and the mulism population lead the Pakistan resolution. Moving for the partition of india
600,000 people killed in the migration to the east and west Pakistan borders. Their trains would be boarded and would be murdered. Hindu people would not leave anyone alive. These were called the ghost trains of india, they would arrive at their station and people would see bodies everywhere.
Ghandi is appaled, and he begins his hunger strikes. He gathers many followers through these strikes, and during one of these strikes, he is murdered by a Hindu extremist.
India industrializes, and the india Pakistan issue takes a back seat, but are not actively at war. There is a great amount of tension between the two countries.
1948, india and Pakistan go to war over a region called Kashmir, plebecite.
1955 war
India remains neutral, in balance. Rohinton Ministry.
1947, 1980 recieves $9 billion in aid from the US
Pakistan erupts into civil war in 1970, when a man from east Pakistan wins the elections. India ferries the troops to each other. Eventually East Pakistan becomes Bangladesh.
1980, Indira Ghandi becomes prime minister of india, and tries to reduce ethnic tensions in the north, specifically in regards to the Sikh, and wants to deal with population growth. Men were paid to be castrated and those who couldn’t get pay were forcibly castrated by the police.
The Sikh (Punjab) follow Gurus, no gods, but follow spiritual guides, 27 million sikh worldwide, almost all of them lived in india. The Sikhs want Khalistan, a homeland for their population. The Sikhs feel that they will be bullied as a small majority in india.
Amritsar has a famous golden temple, it is the most holy shrine of the Sikhs, unspeakably powerful. The Sikhs were using it to store all their weapon for revolution.
1984, Ghandi wants to destroy the militant Sikh uprising, and doesn’t hesitate to shoot and bomb the temple. At least hundreds die. A slaughter of the militants.
Indari Ghandi’s bodyguards were Sikh, and her bodyguards murder her after the destruction of their holy temple. Tens of thousands of Sikh’s are beaten to death on the streets in retaliation.
