Fine, one more post: Further reflections as I do some research on things I didn’t know when I watched RRR.

First, I think the concept of satyagraha is probably a useful one for me to be familiar with if I’m going to continue watching Indian movies. Seems like it’s a backbone of Gandhi’s plan for resistance to the British Empire, and as such probably still an underpinning of Indian society/a huge influence on when violence is justified. See the section for Rules for Satyagraha Campaigns and what that means for how it is justified to resist a public flogging, for example, if you are the victim, the executor, or the onlooker.

Second, it is a principle of modern marketing campaigns that while it’s nice if your ad makes people go “oh yeah, I want to buy that product,” it’s not necessary. It’s more important if people just think about your product regularly, and then when they, say, need to go to the hospital, theirs is the one whose name they know to request. It’s a principle of propaganda, perhaps in a similar vein, that if you say something often enough, no matter how stupid, people will eventually come to believe it. Perhaps, on some level, that’s a matter of making your internal voice repeat that phrase - but the end point is, it doesn’t matter if propaganda is good so long as it’s repeated.

...Hyacinth wants to tell me things, more on reading the Wiki page on the Indian independence movement later (tomorrow?)

Ooh, the doctrine of lapse is vicious.

Okay, so summary of my wiki reading so far, as a sort of timeline:

There was never actually a period where India was not rebelling against British/BEIC rule. (I don’t mean there was a rebellion going at all times, just that the British Empire conquered the last bits of India in like 1849 and the first revolutions were occurring by 1857, but that’s if you don’t count the rebellions in the conquered bits before that last bit was conquered.)

The major item preventing widespread revolution was that there was no concept of ‘India’ at this time - it was a lot of different countries, so why would they work together? And what actually started to deal with that was... the garment industry!

(The garment industry plays a much stronger role in every period of history than one would initially think - consider spinsters, viking ship sails, purple dyes, etc. We might not even be past that point, despite industrialization, if there’s ever widespread revolution against sweatshop practices, I’m not ruling it out.)

The problem in India was classic British colony practice: they require you to grow and export cotton at low prices, then they process it in Britain and ship it back to you to have finished garments sold at high prices. This was widely agreed to be bullshit, and there was widespread support for Indian-made garments and factories (swadeshi, which does not solely refer to the garment industry). And while I am just reading the Wiki article and there is philosophical movement going on as well, I think that that is where we got this idea that India might be one country (well, that and the Brits) - from which point ‘India should rule itself’ (swaraj) is an obvious conclusion.

Wait, I skipped a step - the independence movement officially started in 1857, among the sepoys (local Hindu/Muslim troops), because the British started using a particular gun whose cartridges were rumored (were?) to be manufactured with tallow and/or lard - meaning cow and pig fat. So when troops had to bite those cartridges as part of the loading process, they were violating religious taboos, and this irritated troops in general and one Mangal Pandey in particular enough that there was a brief mutiny (coupla months) which resulted in Britain taking the governance of India back from the British East India Company.

Anyway.

At this point, after the whole swadeshi business, we’re getting into the early 1900s, and various revolutionary cells making the news. In particular very young revolutionaries (Khudiram Bose) getting executed, which is an excellent way to make martyrs. And then WWI happens, and Britain goes “oh no if India exploded in revolution that would be very bad for us” and Germany goes “oh yes if India exploded in revolution that would be very good for us” and India as a whole goes “why does everyone think we are going to explode in revolution instead of supporting this very justified war?”

(Nimbler: Why do they think World War One was something they should support??)

- and this one group of a mere 21 people (Jugantar) managed to get their fingers in I swear every single conspiracy across the entire country, it’s really impressive. But the result on a larger scale is that Britain keeps cracking down on plots that aren’t successful or widespread, because they’re skeered, which results in sufficient oppression (esp. the Rowlatt Acts) that they have something to actually be skeered about.

So after the war, India went, “We sent men to your war, who didn’t come back. We suffered hunger and influenza. The economy’s a wreck. After all of this, we deserve the reward of ruling our own country.” To which Britain responded, “That seems reasonable. What if we set up an Indian government so you can practice this sort of thing, and it will work together with British rule, and you can be in charge of unimportant stuff like agriculture and public works, and we’ll do the important stuff like finances and policing? And at the same time we’ll expand wartime emergency acts like indefinite detention.”

(as regards my watching RRR, this is the status in 1920 - an Indian congress that can advise British rule but is actually only a year old and only allowed to touch ‘unimportant’ things)

Enter..... Gandhi

❝ ...In the early nineteenth century, the word Hindustan begins to fade from the colonial archive. The major histories of the subcontinent, written in the early parts of the nineteenth century, were now histories of "British India".

With the British East India Company (BEIC) ascendant, the Maratha or the Sikh polities did not invoke Hindustan in their political claims.

There was a brief last resurgence of Hindustan in 1857 CE. The rebels and revolutionaries who opposed the British East India Company (BEIC) rule rallied to the flag of the Mughal Sultan, Bahadur Shah Zafar. He was once again, hailed as the Shahanshah-i Hindustan (Emperor of Hindustan) - clearly there remained an idea of Hindustan.

After violently crushing the revolution, Queen Victoria took British India under her direct rule and assumed the title of Empress of India, sending Bahadur Shah Zafar to die in exile in Burma.

...And so, (as) per (the poet) Mirza Ghalib, Hindustan became the past. ❞

Pictured is the one of the few photos of the aforementioned Bahadur Shah Zafar or Bahadur Shah II - the last Timurid-Mughal Sultan - after trial in court and prior to his exile to modern-day Burma, following the unsuccessful and brutally crushed Hindustani Revolt of 1857-1858 CE.

I talked about this in the tags elsewhere but I want to talk about it here, the thing with reading about 1800s and early 1900s China and shipping In/dC/hu is that the countries do have interactions in this time period but it's under the circumstances that everything is sort of tainted w the fact that this ugly brit is overseeing half of it. China was a big part of the BEIC's trade network so naturally... A lot of the 'interactions' of the time are through (opium) trade and parallel suffering and interactions orchestrated by the convenience of the british, it's very bitter imo and ofc a horrible painful part of history. not going anywhere w this just thinking out loud, I can see why people prefer nonhistorical or ancient history lol

L'Invasion de l'Inde par les Compagnies des Indes Orientales Anglaise et Néerlandaise

Au début du XVIIe siècle, les compagnies des Indes orientales néerlandaise (VOC) et britannique (EEIC puis BEIC) tournèrent leurs regards vers l'Inde dans le cadre de leurs grands projets visant à développer de vastes réseaux commerciaux à travers les mers de la région. Elles furent confrontées à deux défis importants : 1) s'attirer les faveurs des Moghols, qui contrôlaient désormais la majeure partie de l'Inde du Nord, et 2) repousser les Portugais, qui étaient bien implantés le long de la côte ouest.

That's an interesting fabric. Faux leather, satin?

Not very helpful in my fic writing, because the chapter got written already, but if you want to imagine them like that, go ahead! Käärijä wore a suit though, he was dressed like a staff member. So ofc he had to look more formal than the guests.

Indian Independence Movement.

Introduction:-

The Indian Independence Movement was a long and tumultuous struggle for independence from British colonial rule. It lasted several decades and included a variety of tactics, from peaceful protests to armed resistance. The movement was led by a diverse group of leaders including Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhash Chandra Bose.

British East India Company (BEIC):-

The British East India Company [1] arrived in India in the early 1600s with the main objective of establishing trade relations with the Indian subcontinent. However, they soon began to extend their control over the region, and by the 1700s, they had a strong hold on the country.

The Company's rule was marked by exploitation, oppression and subjugation of the Indian people. They imposed heavy taxes, forced farmers to grow cash crops instead of food crops, and suppressed any form of dissent. The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a turning point in the history of India, as it marked the beginning of the end of Company's rule.

Indian National Congress:-

The Indian National Congress was formed in 1885 and became the main political party fighting for India's independence. Congress leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Patel [1] used non-violent methods of protest such as civil disobedience to challenge British rule.the Quit India Movement of 1942 was a turning point in India's freedom struggle. It was a mass movement that demanded the British to leave India immediately. The movement was suppressed by the British and many Congress leaders were arrested. However, this movement enthused the Indian people and it paved the way for India's independence.

The Early Years:-

The Indian Independence Movement had its roots in the 19th century, when Indian intellectuals and political leaders began to push for greater autonomy from British rule. In 1885, the Indian National Congress was established to advocate for Indian rights and independence. However, in the early years, the Congress was dominated by moderate leaders who wanted only limited reform and were willing to work within the framework of British colonialism.

Gandhi and Nonviolent Resistance: –

One of the most iconic figures of the Indian Independence Movement, Mahatma Gandhi emerged as a leader in the 1920s. He advocated non-violent resistance as a means to challenge British rule and achieve independence. Gandhiji's approach was driven by his deep religious faith and his belief in the power of passive resistance. He organized mass protests, boycotts and strikes, and his tactics were instrumental in bringing about significant political reforms.

The Salt March:-

One of the most famous events of the Indian Independence Movement was the Salt March of 1930 [1] . Gandhi and his followers traveled over 240 miles to the Arabian Sea to protest against the British salt tax. The march was a powerful symbol of resistance and helped garner support for the independence movement.

World War II and Indian Independence: -

The outbreak of World War II had a major impact on the Indian Independence Movement. The British government sought the support of Indian leaders in the war effort, but Britain's failure to grant India greater autonomy left many Indians disillusioned. In 1942, Gandhi launched the Quit India Movement calling for immediate independence. The movement faced fierce repression by the British authorities, but it helped build momentum for independence.
