INDIAN NATIONALISM

राष्ट्र  की  परिभाषा  एक ऐसे जन समूह के रूप में की जा सकती है जो कि एक भौगोलिक सीमाओं में एक निश्चित देश में रहता हो, समान परम्परा, समान हितों तथा समान भावनाओं से बँधा हो और जिसमें एकता के सूत्र में बाँधने की उत्सुकता तथा समान राजनैतिक महत्त्वाकांक्षाएँ पाई जाती हों।  राष्ट्रवाद  के निर्णायक तत्वों मे राष्ट्रीयता की भावना सबसे अधिक महत्त्वपूर्ण है। राष्ट्रीयता की भावना किसी राष्ट्र के सदस्यों में पायी जानेवाली सामुदायिक भावना है जो उनका संगठन सुदृढ़ करती है।  भारत  में  अंग्रेजों  के शासनकाल मे राष्ट्रीयता की भावना का विशेषरूप से विकास हुआ, इस विकास में विशिष्ट बौद्धिक वर्ग का महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान है। भारत में अंग्रेजी शिक्षा के प्रसार से एक ऐसे विशिष्ट वर्ग का निर्माण हुआ जो  स्वतन्त्रता  को मूल अधिकार समझता था और जिसमें अपने देश को अन्य पाश्चात्य देशों के समकक्ष लाने की प्रेरणा थी। पाश्चात्य देशों का इतिहास पढ़कर उसमें राष्ट्रवादी भावना का विकास हुआ। इसका तात्पर्य यह नहीं है कि भारत के प्राचीन इतिहास से नई पीढ़ी को राष्ट्रवादी प्र...

Concept Of Media

CONCEPT OF MEDIA The word “Media” is derived from latin word medius meaning Medium (middle or the middle position). Plural form of word “medium” is “ media”, this word has a long history, with a variety of understandings, but only more recently, in the later 19 th century, did the term begin to enter our vocabulary  in the modern use in which we currently relate it, as a collective noun for most advanced communication technologies. As said above, the word media hints a rich history extending back to the Latin word medius. Yet the path by which this ancient word ( medius ) for “middle” came to serve as a collective noun for our most advanced communication technologies is difficult to trace. The philological record informs us that the substantive noun medium was rarely connected with matters of communication before the latter nineteenth century. Although GUIllory did a great job of tracing the origin of the concept from an English version of Aristotle’s Poetics from 1...
