Practical Application of Mean Median and Mode
The colonial overseas British empire was made possible by (modern) science in two ways. First, science provided the physical means of acquisition of territory and its control. Second, the development of the powerful intellectual system of modern science gave Europe a cultural and ethnic superiority which in turn provided legitimacy for the colonial rule. From 1869 till, say, 1914 the Indian upper class made conscientious efforts to cultivate pure science with a view to countering the ideological domination by the British. As a corollary, the role of science as a new means of production of wealth was largely ignored. Independent India's attitude towards science has been fashioned by its colonial experience. Thus India has sought to utilize applied science in furthering its foreign policy objectives. Under the Indian auspices, modern science was Brahminized during the colonial period, and Kshatriya-ized after independence. The artisanization of modern science that gave Europe its strength never took place in India.
In 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru became the first prime minister of India, after independencefrom the British Empire, which became the Republic of India upon passage of the IndianConstitution on Jan. 26, 1950. The Congress Party ruled India throughout nearly theentire post-independence period until the late 1990s, during which time Nehru's legacyinfluenced policies even after his death in 1964. In the three decades followingindependence, India clashed with China and Pakistan on more than one occasion overborder disputes and Kashmir.

    During the 1800’s in India, Britain had already set up colonized empires. Britain hoped to gain valuable resources such as iron and coal from imperialising India, as well as felt as it was their moral need to guide and culture the Indians, which is referred to as the ‘white man’s burden’. To help with this, the British created the British East India Company to deal with matters in India. The British believed Indian culture and…

    After 200 years of being control by an island thousands of mile away, it was time to break free. Circa 1500, England and other European countries began to colonize India. It is believed that the Independence Movement there began in the 1850’s, although India didn’t become a fully self-governing country until the 1940’s. This movement is an example of peaceful revolution, and in large part was led by activist Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi. Gandhi, born in 1869, led some the movement and was assassinated in 1948. India fought for many years for independence, but was able to win with the help of Gandhi, who influenced not only his country, but many others including other civil leaders as well.…

    "All the leadership had spent their early years in England. They were influenced by British thought, British ideas, that is why our leaders were always telling the British "How can you do these things? They're against your own basic values.". We had no hatred, in fact it was the other way round - it was their values that made us revolt." -Aruna Asaf Ali, a leader of the Indian National Congress. (Masani, quoted in Wood, 32, 1989)…

    Jawaharlal Nehru, leader of the Indian National Congress and later India’s first prime minister, led the Congress Party to victory in India’s first three general elections. Nehru was born in 1889, educated in England and then returned back to India. In the 1920´s he travelled around India and was alarmed by the Indian people suffering from poverty and oppression. Inspired by his travelling around the world he had an idea that socialism could be the solution to the economic and social problems in India. Mohandas Gandhi was his close confidant and successor. For Nehru human rights and liberty were valuable ideas, which inspired his ideas of a secular Indian democracy. In 17 years, serving as a prime minister of India Nehru announced several policies to improve the social and economic environment. Nehru, as a key member of the Congress Party, was responsible for the Constitution established in 1950. India and Nehru were facing several social problems, such as the traditional caste system, religious minorities and ethnicity issues, gender inequality, political extremism and local languages. His aim was to create a welfare state, in order to raise the standard of living people in India, but he believed that India could improve socially only through economic development. There were many economic problems like unemployment, low life expectancy, poverty and a lack of efficiency, due to dominating agriculture and a lack of industry.…

Though there was a lot of hue and cry from the nation about huge money being pumped in for war purposes when half of the nation is below the poverty line.

    Jawaharlal Nehru had become the country’s first Prime Minister in 1947, and in 1952, in the country’s first general election with a universal franchise, Nehru led the Indian National Congress to a clear victory. The Congress had long been the principal political party in India, providing the leadership to the struggle for independence, and under Nehru’s stewardship it remained the largest and most influential party over the next three decades. In 1957, Nehru was elected to yet another five-year term as a member of the Lok Sabha and chosen to head the government. His ‘regime’ was marked by the advent of five-year plans, designed to bring big science and industry to India; in Nehru's own language, steel mills and dams were to be the temples of modern India. Relations with Pakistan remained chilling, and the purported friendship of India and China proved to be something of a hoax. China’s invasion of India's borders in 1962 is said to have dealt a mortal blow to Nehru.…
