Visualising the Nation
राष्ट्र की कल्पना और प्रतीकात्मक चित्रण
In Class 10 Social Science, under The Age of Industrialisation, Visualising the Nation explores how artists represented nations through allegorical female figures. Students learn about Marianne in France and Germania in Germany, the meanings of symbols such as the red cap, and how images communicated ideas of liberty, republic and national identity.
