The Correct Answer is Option 1.
- Nationalism in India, which was assigned a privileged position by its western-educated political leadership, was a 'different', but a 'derivative discourse' from the west because it criticized colonial rule under the influence of modern and western political thoughts.
- Nationalism in India, which was assigned a privileged position by its western-educated political leadership, was too much responsive to the ‘modern’ West.
- Thus, Indian nationalism as a response to Western imperialism 'like all such responses, shaped by what it was responding to.”
