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

South Africa

South Africa History: 1652 -- The Dutch settle in Cape Colony at Cape Town. Slaves from West Africa, Malaysia, and India are imported into the colony, setting up a system where whites rule non-whites.
9
1806 – British seize and eventually take over the Cape Colony. Native peoples are told they must work for white employers and place restrictions on their travel..
10
1867 – Diamonds are discovered at Kimberley and mining begins. Africans are given the most dangerous jobs, are paid less than white workers, and are housed in fenced, patrolled barracks. They are not allowed to organize union or ask for better wages or working conditions.
11
1910 – The Union of South Africa is born under the British Commonwealth, ending its status as a colony of Great Britain. The South Africa Act is also passed which takes away all political rights of Africans.
12
1948 – Urbanization, economic growth and a world fighting for freedom during World War II fuels white fears that equality for all races might gain support. The National Party introduces apartheid measures against blacks, Indian immigrants and those of mixed race to keep the races separate and whites in power.

South Africa was the first country to gain its independence in Africa. It became independent from England in 1910. However, the white minority was determined at that time not to give away any of the power they had held since Colonial times. They knew that Education, Wealth and Unity were the three things that would allow the black population of South Africa to seize power in the new government and so they passed laws to begin Apartheid. Big Question: How did the white South Africans keep the black South Africans from becoming Educated? Wealthy? United?
