The story, “Deep Waters” tells us how the writer overcame his fear of water and learned swimming with sheer determination and will power. He had developed a terror of water since childhood. When he was three or four years old, the writer had gone to California with his father. One day on the beach, the waves knocked the child down and swept over him. The child was terrified but the father who knew, there was no harm, laughed. The experience bred a permanent fear of water in the child’s sub-conscious mind. Still another incident, more serious, increased his terror. The writer was trying to learn swimming in the Y.M.C.A. swimming pool in Yakima. One day while he was waiting for other boys, a big boy suddenly played a dangerous prank and pushed him into the water. The writer was terribly frightened. He went down nine feet into the water. When he reached the bottom, he jumped upward with all his strength. He came up but very slowly. He tried to catch hold of something like a rope but grasped only at water.
He tried to shout but no sound came out. He went down again. His lungs ached, head throbbed and he grew dizzy. He felt paralyzed with fear. All his limbs were paralyzed. Only the movement of his heart told him that he was alive. Again he tried to jump up. But this time his limbs would not move at all. He looked for ropes, ladders and water wings but all in vain. Then he went down again, the third time. This time all efforts and fear ceased. He was moving towards peaceful death. The writer was in peace.
When he came to consciousness, he found himself lying on the side of the pool with the other boys nearby. The terror that he had experienced in the pool never left him. It haunted him for years and years to come. It spoilt many of his expeditions of canoeing, swimming and fishing. It spoilt his pleasures in Maine Lakes, New Hampshire, Deschutes, Columbia and Bumping Lake etc. But the writer was determined to conquer his terror. He took help of a swimming instructor to learn swimming. The instructor taught him various actions necessary in swimming part by part. He put his face under water and exhaled and inhaled raising it above water. He practiced it for several weeks. He had to kick with his legs a few weeks on the side of the pool. At last he combined all these actions and made the writer swim. He learned swimming but the terror continued. So deep goes our childhood experiences! So fearful is the fear of fear! Whenever he was in water the terror returned. Hence forward the writer tried to terrorize terror itself. He tried to face the new challenge. When terror came, he confronted it by asking it sarcastically as to what it can really do to him? He plunged into the water as if to defy the fear. Once he took courage the terror vanquished. He faced the challenge deliberately in various places like the Warm Lake. He conquered it at last.

Unlike the situation in a nucleophilic substitution reaction, when a nucleophile attacks an aldehyde or ketone carbon there is no leaving group – the incoming nucleophile simply ‘pushes’ the electrons in the pi bond up to the oxygen.

If you want good health, you need to get up early in the morning. Doctors always suggest peoples for early rising. When someone rises early and goes for a morning walk or physical exercise they start to build their body properly. You might have seen the army people still can work hard in their late ages, because of their previous rules and regulation.
If you take a look at the successful peoples, they all used to wake up early in the morning. When you get up early, you can start your daily for a little earlier and also can finish it earlier. That’s a huge bonus and benefit for all. Then you can spend the rest of the time with your family or friends. We know time never stops for anyone, so if we want to use the time properly we need to learn early rising and start using our time properly.

During the decades of British colonial rule in India, there were no efforts made to calculate India’s per capital income. Similarly, the British rulers never found it necessary to calculate our National Income or our Gross Domestic Product. Upon gaining independence, some Indian individuals did try to measure India’s incomes. But the attempts tragically failed due to inconsistency, lack of expertise and inaccuracy. But the contributions of VKRV Rao and Dadabai Naoroji was very significant in this field.
Our economy had been a victim of enormous exploitation. Our natural resources, iron ores, gold mines, wealth and manpower was subject to intense exploitation. Due to these atrocities, the Indian economy on the eve of independence showed poor/low economic growth. Immense efforts and knowledge were essential in order to move ahead.
Although India was a very independent economy before the British rule, towards the end, it was exhausted. The Indian economy on the eve of independence was struggling to find the path. Since all the policies that the British were framing only promote their interests, we were diverging from prosperity. We were mere raw-material suppliers to the British. They made use of our labour without treating them well. The 200 years of British rule also took away our will to gain knowledge and awareness. Since we were their slaves, we never got the right to proper education. And as a result of these actions, towards the end of their reign, we were illiterate. The Indian economy on the eve of independence was full of people who had absolutely no plan as to how to help the nation.
THE IMPACT ON INDIA’S AGRICULTURAL SECTOR
It is a known fact that over 70% of India’s National Income comes from its agricultural activities. Back then, before 1947, over 95% of the country’s income came from its agricultural activity. And over 85% of the country’s population lived in villages where livelihood completely depended on agriculture. The Indian economy on the eve of independence with respect to agriculture was disheartening. The most important Indian sector was facing massive stagnation and continuous deterioration.
Hence the resulting situation of the sector was as follows.
Low productivity level. Productivity and output per hectare of land were very low. This situation led to a very low yield of output irrespective of the large cultivation area.
High vulnerability level. Agricultural activities are dependent on climatic factors. Because a poor rainfall generally led to a low output level and high crop failures. And no efforts were made by the British to eradicate irrigation issues. Hence making it vulnerable to external factors.
Discussed below are some of the reasons for the stagnation of the agricultural sector.
The Indian economy on the eve of independence suffered and continues to suffer the effects of zamindari system. In this system, the main focus of the landlords is to extract rent regardless of the economic conditions of the farmers. This is one of the focus reason for stress among farmers and fear to take a chance to grow. Hence, leading to a stagnant agricultural sector.
The lack of resources, be it financial or otherwise, is a critical factor leading to a stagnant agricultural sector.
Extensive commercialization of agriculture refers to the shift from cultivating for self to cultivating for sale in the market. This has not been helpful in improving the condition of farmers due to the existence of middlemen. Hence, the stagnation or retardation of the Indian agricultural sector.
THE IMPACT ON INDIA’S INDUSTRIAL SECTOR
Before the British period, India’s well-known industry was the handicraft and textile industry. India was well-known for its industries in cotton and silk textiles as well. And in addition, Indians were excellent in metal and precious stonework as well. When the Britishers came, they were followers of de-industrialization in India. They did this by creating situations which were conducive to the decay of the handicraft and textile industry. They also did not make any effort to promote to permit the continuation of the metal and precious stone works.
The following was the condition of the industrial sector on the eve of independence.
The decay of the Handicraft Industry. The traditional handicraft industry in India initially was in high demand. But the British rule completely discriminated the practice. The prevalence of discriminatory tariff policy and the competition from machine-made products was very critical for the downfall. Also, the introduction of railways in India was the reason for market expansion. Consequently, the demand for the handicrafts began to fall. All of these directly led to the downfall of our prominent industry.
Slow Growth of the Modern Industry. Due to the limited growth of the PSEs and the lopsided industrial structure, the growth of the modern industry was slow. In addition, there was a lack of basic and heavy industries.
To conclude,
Not only was the industrial and agricultural sectors of the country affected but so was the foreign trade. Foreign trade plays a crucial role in the development and earnings of a country. Although it is great to be a self-sustaining and independent country, foreign trade and globalization are critical to a country’s success. Indian economy on the eve of independence in relation to the foreign trade was very poor. Due to the rules imposed by the British, none of India’s products or skills had any recognition. And hence, adversely affecting the structure, composition and volume of the country’s foreign trade and income.
