Nationalism In India
Compare the images of Bharat Mata in this chapter with the image of Germania in Chapter 1.
With the growth of nationalism, the identity of India came to be visually associated with the image of Bharat Mata. There are two images of Bharat Mata one by Abanindranath Tagore and the second by an other artist. In the image drawn by Tagore, Bharat Mata is portrayed as an ascetic figure. She has been shown as calm, composed, divine and spiritual. In the second figure drawn subsequently by another artist, Bharat Mata has been shown with a trishul in her hand, standing beside a lion and an elephant. Both are symbols of power and authority. Thus, in India, Bharat Mata has acquired many different forms from an ascetic figure to symbols of power and authority.
On the other hand, the image of Germania by Philip Veet wears a crown of oak leaves, as the German oak stands for heroism. Thus, there is one similarity between Bharat Mata and Germania that both contain elements of bravery i.e. power, authority and heroism.
