The document is a student project on nationalism in India. It discusses the rise of nationalism in response to British rule. The British pursued policies that served their own interests and kept India economically backward. Educated Indians began to question British laws and policies in which Indians had no representation. Socio-religious reform movements and the Indian press played key roles in fostering national consciousness. Racial discrimination by the British also contributed to the growth of nationalism as Indians faced insult and unequal treatment under colonial rule. The establishment of a uniform administration and legal system by the British helped create a sense of political unity and national identity in India.
