From Threads to Factories: The Industrial Revolution's Role in India’s Decline of Cottage Industries

From Threads to Factories: The Industrial Revolution’s Role in India’s Decline of Cottage Industries The Industrial Revolution, which began in England in the late 18th century, marked a transformative era in global history. While it brought technological innovation and economic progress in Europe, it also precipitated profound disruptions in the colonies under British rule. Among the most…

Future Indian Dark Academia novels can have so much potential. I have been waiting for someone to write magical realism, DA, gothic themes in an Indian setting for quite a while. Its been too late, so FUCK IT.  I am taking it upon myself to deliver the general public this masterpiece. 

Indian Dark Academia - Colonial Era

(Inspired by this post by @twostarsinonesphere )

it is 1930. you're hunched over a book in Connemara library. the dim light of the candles illuminate a page filled with cryptic symbols. they were meant for no one but you. the white librarian glares at you over his glasses. he suspects something but you throw him a smile and leave.

your brother has been gone for months. I'm going to Gandhi's march he had said. But you're starting to suspect that wasn't the case at all.

you find the diary of a rebel among you're dead friend's belongings dating back to 1858. the pages are laced with dried blood. the entries delineate obscure prophecies and end abruptly, as if the pen had been snatched away from the writer.

you wake up to find a letter addressed to you from your grandfather stealthily slid under your door. someone's playing games, your grandfather had perished in the bombardment of madras in 1914. you unfold it and it's empty, save for a bright red stain in the middle. your hands shake, you know what it is. a death threat.

the air is filled with smoke and the sun burns down cruelly as you wait for your train. there have been uprisings in Lahore. that will be your next stop. you catch a man watching you, his blue eyes boring into yours. he tips his hat at you. a warning. you're being watched.

it all started with you being a mere activist in the freedom struggle but how quickly things changed. secrets dating back to centuries have their claws on your back now. heads on spikes, gruesome murders, sinister incidents. history is painted in blood. it all haunts your dreams. some things are better left undiscovered but it's too late now. you know things that you shouldn't. Let the knowledge die with me is all you could think as the blade kissed your throat.

Thirdly when pm modi had said that “ if Pakistan do not stop terror activities in India , we will be forced to chech the water stream of the rivers which irrigate Pakistan” what does it means most of the rivers those irrigate Pakistan mainland Punjab and sindh emerged from the mountains or gelecries of Indian Kashmir . by making dam and other water management programme India can direct or check the river stream and by doing so go1 can have ability to make artificial water scarcity for Pakistan.

Natural prosperity of Kashmir have potential for world tourist hub .this potential of revenue generation too add up an other aspect of the importance of Kashmir valley and ladakh .

We all know that all nation state follow their path of national interest and so India too do. In international and nothing is considered as ethical or unethical but national interest.

Why jammu & Kashmir and ladakh is so important ?

After independence of India , Pakistan and china from 1950 onward Jammu &kashmir  is the region where these three nation have been contesting for the supremacy whether china never claimed whole state of Jammu & Kashmir but it assumed aksai-chin and ladakh of Jammu &Kashmir as its own region .being Muslim majority region , Pakistan think that occupying Kashmir would be fulfilment of the an completed work of partition on the basis of Hindu & Muslim majority regions of colonial India. Apart from this historical aspect of jammu &Kashmir dispute , geographical and strategic situation of j &k gives its prominence for all these three nations .

Jammu &Kashmir ( now j &k and ladakh ) is not only a border state but also it is a meeting point of three nuclear weapon state . in ladakh region India share the border with china and j & k region India share the border with Pakistan even Pakistan had given a piece of Kashmir situated Gilgit area to china in 1963. So , sharing the border with three nuclear capable state makes  j& k region as one of the most sensitive area in the world .

Secondly being mountainous region or highland . Kashmir including ladakh have their strategic value . in modern warfare , forces acquiring highlands have tactical strategic moral benefits against the adversary .in the war like situation adversary holding lower ground required much more manpower, ammunition and technological advancement to out class the enemy .India felled it in a very outward situation when Pakistan army intruded in dras and kargil sector of j &k in 1999.  India had to deploy I soldiers against the one Pakistan army personal and had to use before guns and fighter jets.

Thirdly when pm modi had said that “ if Pakistan do not stop terror activities in India , we will be forced to chech the water stream of the rivers which irrigate Pakistan” what does it means most of the rivers those irrigate Pakistan mainland Punjab and sindh emerged from the mountains or gelecries of Indian Kashmir . by making dam and other water management programme India can direct or check the river stream and by doing so go1 can have ability to make artificial water scarcity for Pakistan.

Natural prosperity of Kashmir have potential for world tourist hub .this potential of revenue generation too add up an other aspect of the importance of Kashmir valley and ladakh .

We all know that all nation state follow their path of national interest and so India too do. In international and nothing is considered as ethical or unethical but national interest.
