Abstract
This paper aims to provide a forum for the distorted reality of Indian diversity, which has been the ramification of various epochs of triumph and affiliation of cultures. The country had seen centuries of exploitation that finally made sense when the Constitution of India was on the verge of its formation. With the advent of independence, the Indian leaders started thinking of a visionary nation. Still, British supremacy never ended and that single line of paramountcy induced the envelope of disturbances and agitations, leaving India fragmented. The British foreign policy resulted in many administrative changes which degraded India’s relationship with the neighboring countries. When Europe was experiencing a tremendous industrial revolution, India had an economic breakdown. Thus, this paper asserts to identify the deliberate struggle of the nation through a post-colonial impression.
Keywords: India, diversity, paramountcy, post-colonialism, independence
