In search of the collective self: how ethnic group concepts were cast through conflict in colonial India
Article Abstract:
Tracing the formation of three Indian groups' political group concepts indicates that each used similar slogans, assembled differently. Socioeconomic slogans combined with regional culture under the pressure of political mobilization (the all-India movement) and intense communication, in turn due to heightened economic activity and social or economic desperation. A connection emerged between morality and territorial power, because of the impulse to resist continued Western domination and because ethnic histories had not developed.

Colonial politics and women's rights: woman suffrage campaigns in Bengal, British India in the 1920s
Article Abstract:
The inception of the women's movement in India was brought on by influence from British suffragettes which made it vulnerable to charges of being insensitive to indigenous culture. Women in India had to integrate nationalist issues such as autonomy from Britain into their agenda to gain credibility as an authentic political force. This process culminated in the granting of suffrage for women in 1925 as militant nationalists entered the parliament for the first time.
