Revolution: A Process of Radical Change Needed with Time

Abstract

Poverty, inequality, injustice and lack of basic needs form the ground for a revolutionary upheaval in a country and it develops with time in the mind of the affected masses for radical alteration in basic values and beliefs. Imposition of anything with force on the masses that hurts the sentiment on the multitude is sure to fuel fire of a rebellion. History is replete with instances. The main cause of Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, the rebellion against the military forces of the British India, stands for hurting the religious sentiment of soldiers of both Hindu and Muslim community besides injustice and economic exploitation of the British East India Company. Apart from radical change in political order either through violent means or silent revolution, there are various kinds of fundamental changes from the outdated concept to new ones that we happen to witness in our daily life to suit in the demands of time. These may also be viewed as revolutions, be it in the field of education or in the field of commerce and industry or in the field of healthcare system and the like and take the civilization onto the roads of progress with smiling populace all around.
