4 Gandhi Unites India To win against the British, the Indian people must be United. Gandhi becomes the focus for the unification movement through his non violence movement and civil disobedience. Indians participate in protests and boycotts to make life increasingly difficult for the British The British simply do not have enough power to force Millions of Indians to do what they want.

5 These events, marches, demonstrations and so on, United the people of India (Hindu, Muslim and Sikh) against the British and hurt the British economy. They also turned international opinion against the British. By the end of WWII, England doesn't have the money to maintain their control of India, and Finally, Indians are granted their Independence.

34 Pakistan: The name was coined by Muslim nationalist Choudhary Rahmat Ali. He devised the word as an an acronym formed from the names of the "homelands" of Muslims in South Asia: P for Punjab, A for the Afghania areas of the region, K for Kashmir, S for Sindh and tan for Balochistan, thus forming 'Pakstan.' An i was later added to the English rendition of the name to ease pronunciation, producing Pakistan.) The word also captured in the Persian language the concepts of "pak", meaning "pure", and "stan", meaning "land" or "home", thus giving it the meaning "Land of the Pure". All Arabic-speaking countries refer to Pakistan as Bakistaan (باکستان), as the Arabic language lacks the phoneme [p].

35  1 st Prime Minister: Muhammad Ali Jinnah  Combination:  Strong Islamic fundamentalism.  High poverty rate  Pakistan divides in 1971  W. Pakistan = Pakistan  E. Pakistan = Bangladesh PakistanPakistan

42 India Vs. Pakistan Both claim Kashmir, its lands, its wealth, its people and its water resources. Why would the two new countries fight so hard over Kashmir?

43 1971 India-Pakistan War

44 Indo-Pakistani relations deteriorated again, civil war erupted in Pakistan, pitting the West Pakistan army against East Pakistanis who demanded autonomy and later independence. The fighting forced an estimated 10 million East Pakistani civilians to flee to India. East Pakistan became the independent country of Bangladesh in December 1971.

45 The Conflict At the height of the conflict, thousands of shells were fired daily, and India launched hundreds of airstrikes. The Red Cross reported that at least 30,000 people had been forced to flee their homes on the Pakistani side of the Line of Control.

46 A New Nuclear Arms Race: The arms race between the rivals escalated dramatically in the 1990s. In May 1998, India conducted underground nuclear tests near the border with Pakistan. In response, Pakistan conducted six tests in a nearby province.

47 2012 Military Statistics How does having many weapons and a large army make war more likely?

48

49 What can the US and other nations do? Both sides were heavily criticized by the international community for the tests as fears of a nuclear confrontation grew. The United States ordered sanctions against both countries, freezing more than $20bn of aid

50 1999 Pakistan and India signed the Lahore Accord, pledging again to "intensify their efforts to resolve all issues, including the issue of Kashmir".

51 Border problems- Pakistan’s Taliban Neighbors

52 Increasingly... India and Pakistan are working to fight Terrorism  Pakistan is home to a number of rebel groups that support terrorists in Afghanistan  India is very influential in Asia But... Both countries still struggle to maintain their own stability  How does this help the Terrorists?

53 Conflicts like this… Both Pakistan and India divert lots of money to military programs. Other social programs like education and infrastructure (roads, electricity, water, plumbing and so on.) have not received needed attention.

61 Mr Guha argues that democracy and nationhood in India face several challenges. Four of these are: Religious fundamentalism (an intense loyalty to a particular way of practicing religion, strong resistance to change) was once all over India, but is only fading very slowly. Government suffers from corruption. The police and bureaucracy are not independent but work for particular political parties. Scarcity of resources is leading to conflict and inequality. The poor suffer most from lack of resources, infrastructure (like schools, roads, plumbing and electricity) and water pollution. The gap between rich and poor is increasing. One example: India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, is worth more than $20bn, and his new home is a 27-storey high, 400,000 sq ft building in Mumbai, where 60% of the population live in grimy slums

62 Deep Question: To what extent is Mr. Guha’s assessment accurate? Please choose one of the above bullet points and provide evidence to support or contradict Mr. Guha’s claim and say why he is or is not accurate in his assessment.
