John Collier and the Indian New Deal

John Collier and the New Deal in India Early in the 20th century, the culture of Native American was on the verge of extinction. Indians are at the bottom of an economic ladder. Compared with any other group in the United States, they have the lowest average life expectancy, the highest infant mortality rate, the highest suicide rate and the highest alcohol abuse rate. The 1928 Merial report (the investigation on page 872) accused the federal government of responsibility. When President Franklin Delano Roosevelt appointed in 1933, he later carried out a series of major reforms called "New Deal in India".

Since John Collier was appointed as a commissioner in India, in 1933, Franklin Roosevelt led the indigenous New Deal. Color New Deal, which had been promulgated for many years from 1933 to 1945, was trying to reverse the continuous collapse of Indian culture and self-esteem. With the Indian reorganization law in 1934, the tribe of the American Indians regained their position in many respects through a series of plans and partnerships with other New Deal organizations. Prepare the land for the tribe, start the educational program, emphasize and encourage the values ​​and words of Native Americans, and design and implement tribal autonomous structures. In my opinion, Collier 's efforts and struggles on behalf of the American Indians now seem very special.

In the 1930s, another person, John Collier, was appointed as a commissioner in India in 1932, which caused a new reversal of compulsion assimilation. This policy aims to protect and nourish certain aspects of the Indian approach and can be summarized as one of the tribal restoration. The main deviation of this policy in Indian restructuring law in 1934 can be seen in Collier's memo. He says as follows. In the field of education, welfare, etc., from the viewpoint of dismissing supporters, India has created a virtual dependency system executed by a heavy system of administrative bureaucrats. India's thoughts on special circumstances, especially in the 1950s, are considered "non-Americans" in theory and practice.
