The classification of the people of the country as the “India people” was not based on the claim that people would configure the only legitimate foundation of sovereignty in 1843. Perhaps the concept did not exist in India throughout the 19th century. After Gandhi arrived from South Africa in 1915, it appeared as an idea to show off the qualities of zinc plating only. The sovereignty in India’s history is more than trying to outlaw the moment of origin when people are involved in political and historic beings. It should be self -evident, but it is rarely recognized, but it is rarely recognized that the concept of “people” has been born or not the only field. Such a category. As the EP Thompson lost extremism in the early 19th century and mentioned about extremeism in the creation of an English worker class, “If we understand the Bardet and Coclan’s extremity in 1810, weRon. I needed to read the young Bengal at the time we were looking at it.

The “people” were clearly existed in the concept of Indian language a long time ago, as well as classical Sanskrit and Persian textbooks, and were used simultaneously. Aside from the ancient use, all of these words in the 19th century regional language have strict specificity, indicating a group group based on community/class/caste/region or religion. In general, the welfare of Indian people may have been given advantage in the code of ancient Laam Largeya, and all the mercy of the country ahead of this moment, altruistic Raja. It may have been understood that it is a generous Nawab Dharma, but this is the first time that the “people” category have been used as an agent of changing by Indians since Bengal’s East Indian Company. 。 The people (or the public) itself may have been given or have not obtained an agency, but as a theoretical category, the idea of ”people” is an activity, except for the history of India. It was a stimulus used as a denominator of action. On behalf of them. >

What I follow here is the new importance that this word began to be acquired at the public arena in Calcutta in the 1830s and 1840s. There, whether newspapers are Bengal or English, the context of their rights will repeated many subjects under British dominance and the government’s duty to them. I will pay attention to the conceptual changes that became possible by using the language, the language itself, and those words. The concept of sovereignty of the 20th century, or the “Indian people”, is shown to be a “person” category before our understanding as a place of sovereignty. There was a moment of the middle class Indians. For example, in 1841 and 1848, the first geographical text written by Indians in their own language explained the countries and their people that had grown over the sub -continent called Hindustan. The Hinduntan people are listed, listed, and classified in the areas where they lived, and create a sense that Indian people are in the relationship with other people in the world. The important thing in this debate is that the vast people in rural areas have begun to evoke in newspapers and other printed media from their rights and expectations. It is important to note that the India’s concept at this point is generally based on the peasants as the subject with rights, not the proletariat as a new body politics. there is. The basic person in modern politics in the Indian colonial era is the farmers, and the farmers have repeatedly talked about how young Bengal repeatedly talked about how to improve their condition. >
When investigating the process of the people in a specific person at a specific time, I intend to make sure that we live from the space where we live today. The idiom following the history of living until then. The idea is that “people” have the right to the general reading and writing in 1843, and the government can demand “improvement” (words used at the time) for the current suffering. “People” was the theme of soil that needed to improve its condition. This most of these “people” had to demand their rights as a supplement as an activist trying to move public opinion, not in front of the monarch. The “people” representing such actions should be extended as the body of the entire sub -continent. These “people” shared a common situation and became equal to each other as a man.
