Q. Lajpat Rai was a fearless, bold and passionate lover of India and her people. He was a great patriot who lived and died for his country. He was a great political leader, nation-builder and bold nationalist. Being a great patriot, national sentiment was the driving force of his life. He never favoured the policy and programmes of the Early Nationalists who believed in constitutional means to achieve their objectives. To quote him, “After 20 years of peaceful agitation for bread what we have got is pebbles and stones.” He advocated continuous struggle to achieve freedom. He struggled hard to arouse the sentiments of patriotism and nationalism among the people and to prepare them to make any sacrifice for their motherland.

Q. Following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, European governments were driven by a spirit of conservatism. Conservatives believed that established, traditional institutions of state and society - like the monarchy, the Church, social hierarchies, property and the family - should be preserved. Most conservatives, however, did not propose a return to the society of pre-revolutionary days. Rather, they realised, from the changes initiated by Napoleon, that modernisation could in fact strengthen traditional institutions like the monarchy. It could make power more effective and strong. A modern army, an efficient bureaucracy, a dynamic economy, the abolition of feudalism and serfdom could strengthen the autocratic monarchies of Europe.

In the post-Napoleonic days, conservatives believed that monarchy should be abolished as it had failed to suppress revolution.
