Along with other liberal notions,constitutionalism also travelled to India through British colonialism. However, on the one hand, the ideology of liberalism guaranteed the liberal rightsbut one the other hand it denied the same basic right to the colony. The justification to why an advanced liberal nation like England must colonize the ‘not yet’ liberal nation like India was also found within the ideology of liberalism itself. The rationale was that British colonialism in India was like a ‘civilization mission’ to train the colony how to tread the path of liberty.1 However, soon the English educated Indian intellectual class realised the gap between the claim that British Rule made and the oppressive and exploitative reality of colonialism.Consequently,there started the movement towards autonomy and self-governance by Indians.

NIEMEIJER THE HAGUE - MAR TINUS NIJHOFF 1972 I.S.B.N.90.247.1334.X PREFACE The first incentive to write this book originated from a post-graduate course in Asian history which the University of Amsterdam organized in 1966. I am happy to acknowledge that the university where I received my training in the period from 1933 to 1940 also provided the stimulus for its final completion. I am greatly indebted to the personal interest taken in my studies by professor Dr. W. F. Wertheim and Dr. J. M. Pluvier. Without their encouragement, their critical observations and their advice the result would certainly have been of less value than it may be now. The same applies to Mrs. Dr. S. C. L. Vreede-de Stuers, who was prevented only by ill-health from playing a more active role in the last phase of preparation of this thesis. I am also grateful to professor Dr. G. F. Pijper who was kind enough to read the second chapter of my book and gave me valuable advice. Beside this personal and scholarly help I am indebted for assistance of a more technical character to the staff of the India Office Library and the India Office Records, and also to the staff of the Public Record Office, who were invariably kind and helpful in guiding a foreigner through the intricacies of their libraries and archives.

  • Annie Besant: the Brilliant Outsider 1847-1933
    15 Annie Besant: The Brilliant Outsider 1847-1933 Monica Leonards Britons must give up the idea that India is a possession to be exploited for their own benefit, and must see her as a friend, an equal, a Self-Governing Dominion within the Empire, a Nation like themselves, a willing partner in the Empire, but not a dependent.tt (Congress Presidential Address given December 26, 1917.)1 Annie Besant was not the first Briton to hold a prominent position in Indian nationalist politics, but she was the last to rise to its leadership. Her unique assets of personality, position and race made her the ideal person to transform the Indian National Congress from a complacent organization to an energetic one during the years of the first World War. But her essentially conservative position, belied by her strident rhetoric, made it impossible for her to retain a leadership role for long. Annie Wood was born October 1, 1847 in London; she was privately educated and early on expressed a deep interest in religion and spirituality. She was married in 1866 to the reverend Frank Besant, and she soon bore two children. In 1871 the serious illness of her daughter provoked a crisis of faith, and by 1875 she was separated from her husband and lecturing on atheism. This was the beginning of nearly twenty years’ involvement in the major social issues of the day. As George Lansbury, the Labour MP who would later introduce her Commonwealth of India Bill into Parliament, said of her: To write fully about her activities in the social and political life of Britain would be to write almost in full the story of social and political change from 1874 to the time she left for India.

  • AK Fazlul Huq's
    1 A.K. Fazlul Huq’s ‘Rise to Power’ in Bengal Politics Bengal and the Bengalis at the very beginning of the twentieth century, were in the forefront not only in the field of introducing new philosophy, applying new methodology and generating new political ideas and consciousness among the masses but also they were playing the prominent role in launching the anti- British movements, mainly under the banner of the Indian National Congress and Bengal at that time, was thought-out to be the „nerve centre of Indian nationalism‟. Not only that, Bengal along with Punjab and Maharashtra had also become great centres of „militant nationalism‟ or „revolutionary terrorism‟. The first half of the twentieth century was considered to be much eventful in the history of Bengal as well as India with regard to the socio-economic and political changes that had occurred, influenced and completely changed the socio-political scenario of this country. The 1905 was the milestone which indicated a major turning point and momentous event not only in the history and politics of undivided Bengal but also of India. The first partition of Bengal in 1905 and its annulment in 1911, had transformed Bengal into an epicenter of Indian politics. The foundation of the All – India Muslim League (as a result of the Simla deputation of 1 October 1906 to the Viceroy Lord Minto II under the leadership of Aga Khan) in the Dacca Educational Conference on 30 December 1906 under the leadership of Nawab Salimullah of Dacca (presently Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh) to safeguard the political rights and interests of the Muslims, to preach loyalty to the British and to further the cause of inter-communal amity was, of course, another fundamental political change which brought a section of Muslim community of Bengal to a position of active politics not only at the provincial level but also at the national level.

Though India has a rich past and at the height of its glory she was one of the most advanced nations of the world yet with the passage of time her glory faded. Not only this but due to internal disunity the invaders could rale over India for centuries together. History is a witness that even at the darkest period of her history Indians continued their struggle for independence in one way for the other and did not agree to accept the fate to which they had been so unfortunately placed. Out modern Indian political thought Practically began with Gokhale who can be called the pioneer of our national movement and subsequently India produced very many political thinkers who continued their struggle against British Imperialism both under the flag of Indian National Congress and even outside that.

  • Growth & Development of Intelligence Apparatus During British Colonial
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org Volume 4 Issue 4 || April. 2015 || PP.13-19 Growth & Development of Intelligence Apparatus during British Colonial Era in India Shabir Ahmad Reshi1, Dr. Seema Dwivedi2 1(Research Scholar, department of History, Dr. C.V Raman University, Bilaspur, India, 2(Head Of Department, Department of History, Dr. C.V Raman University, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, ABSTRACT: There is no yard stick for success and failure in any intelligence agency. Any such analysis has to look at its resources, manpower and intelligence gathering processes. In India intelligence gathering processes and the institutions involved in the same developed and took shape from time to time. The earliest mention of the activity of secret agents is found in the Vedic samhitas. In ancient India, the organization of intelligence activity was such as to encompass every sphere affecting the state and its people. Kautilya’s Arthashastra lays out the detailed responsibilities and use of the secret agents for the maintenance of state affairs. Later, the system of intelligence and its uses were felt by different dynasties in the Indian subcontinent. However, the more sophisticated system of intelligence gathering and institutions which shape the present intelligence system of India developed during the british colonization of India. KEY WORDS: Intelligence, Thugee, Intelligence Bureau, CID, Provincial Special Branches I. INTRODUCTION: The mention of Intelligence gathering in the ancient texts like Vedic Samhitas encompasses every sphere of life for the security of the people. In the ancient and medieval periods, the engagement and deployment of spies and informers was by and large personalised; an institutionalised intelligence system grew up only with the arrival of British in the scene of India.

FRESH LI<JH"t l=ROM tHE NEWLY AVAILABLE BRITISH ARCi-'UVES This paper is an early fruit of the recent liberalisation of the former resti'ietions on open access to the British archives. In February 1966 the so-called fifty-year rule was sufficiently relaxed to allow scholars to study in one block the records ofthe eight year period frorn the beginning ofthe First World War to the end of the Washington Conference. Then in January 1968 the British government narrowed the "access gap" between the British and American regulations by adopting a thirty-year rule. Many historians are justifiably sceptical about the amount of fresh light which newly opened archives can throw upon the general appearance of recent diplomatic history. Undoubtedly the excitement and the sense of authenticity which such material induces in research scholars can all too easily result in myopic and astigmatic views rather than in clear-sightedness.
