  • 'Netaji's Life Was More Important Than the Legends and Myths' Page 1 of 4
    The Telegraph Page 1 of 4 Issue Date: Sunday , July 10 , 2011 ‘Netaji’s life was more important than the legends and myths’ Miami-based economist turned film-maker Suman Ghosh — who has also made a documentary on Amartya Sen — was in conversation with Sugata Bose, Netaji’s grandnephew, about the historian’s His Majesty’s Opponent — Subhas Chandra Bose and India’s Struggle Against Empire on the morning of the launch of the Penguin book. Metro sat in on the Netaji adda. Excerpts… Suman Ghosh: You are a direct descendent of Subhas Chandra Bose and your father (Sisir Kumar Bose) was involved in the freedom struggle with him. Did you worry about objectivity in treating a subject that was so close to you? Sugata Bose: I made a conscious decision to write this book as a historian. Not as a Sugata Bose speaks with (right) family member. My father always used to tell me that Netaji believed that his country and Suman Ghosh at Netaji Bhavan. family were coterminous. So if I’m a member of the Bose family by an accident of birth so Picture by Bishwarup Dutta are all of the people of India. In some ways, if there is a problem of objectivity it would apply to most people and scholars of the subcontinent. But I felt I had acquired the necessary critical distance from my subject to embark on this project when I did. Ghosh: Netaji has always been shrouded in myths and mysteries. He has primarily been characterised as a revolutionary and a warrior.

Public Discourse in Bengal, 1946-47 Haimanti Roy, History Faculty, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. E51-186, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, 02139, USA. Email: [email protected] Abstract The historiography on the Partition of Bengal has tended to see it as a culmination of long term trends Hindu and Muslim communalism within the province. This essay offers a counter narrative to the ‘inevitability’ of the Partition by focusing on Bengali public discourse in the months leading up to the Partition. The possibility of a division generated a large-scale debate amongst the educated in Bengal and they articulated their views by sending numerous letters to leading newspapers, district political and civic organizations and sometimes published pamphlets for local consumption. A critical examination of this public debate for and against Partition reveals the countdown to August 1947 as a period of multiple possibilities. Understanding the genesis provides the starting point and the necessary corrective to evaluate India’s path to post –colonial nationhood.

  • Caste Versus Class: Social Mobility in India, 1860- 2012
    Caste versus Class: Social Mobility in India, 1860- 2012 Gregory Clark, University of California, Davis Zach Landes1 December, 2013 Using surname distributions, we compare long run social mobility rates for elite and underclass groups in India 1860-2012, with those of other societies such as Sweden and the USA. It is not clear whether recent social mobility rates in India should be higher or lower than in the West. The caste system notoriously embedded privilege in elite castes. But since Independence a quota of places in higher education, and in government jobs, have been reserved for the former lower castes. These quotas are now as great as half of such positions. Social mobility rates in India, however, prove to be extremely low, and not any higher now than under the Raj. Despite extensive social engineering India seems to be an unusually immobile society. We hypothesize that this immobility stems from continued strong marital endogamy in India. Introduction India is an interesting society in which to study rates of social mobility. On the one hand it entered the modern era with the legacy of the Hindu caste system, which found echoes also in Muslim society, which limited intermarriage, and even social intercourse, between those of different castes. This system of exclusion was so powerful that different castes and sub-castes, even within small geographic areas, have distinct DNA profiles. 2 There is the underfunded and poorly functioning primary and secondary public education system, which those of means have largely abandoned in favor of private schooling. Further many of the poor are located in rural areas for which educational provision is particularly poor, and private 1 With thanks to Lincoln Atkinson for his great help in digitizing the 2.2 million names of the Kolkata voters roll of 2010.

  • N E T a J I' S LIFE and WRITINGS
    N E T A J I’ S LIFE and WRITINGS PART ONE AN INDIAN PILGRIM OR AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE WWW.HINDUSTANBOOKS. COM WWW.HINDUSTANBOOKS.COM PREFACE The NetaJi Publishing Society has great pleasure in present- ing to the public the unfinished utobiography of`Netaji Sub- has Chandra Bose. Netaji wanted to give his autobiography, when completed, the title "An Indian Pilgrim". That is how his autobiography derives the name. "An Indian Pilgrim" takes the reader from Netaji’s parentage, birth and early childhood to his Cambridge days—and what days !—when a youngman of 24 had to make up his mind either to take a path, strewn with roses, which promised nothing but ease, luxury and official hon- our, or a path, strewn with thorns, inviting one to selfless suffering and sacrifice and promising nothing more than blood, sweat and tears. The result of the struggle is known to the world. But only handful have had the privilege to know the different phases of that struggle. Perhaps it was not in 1921 but a decade earlier that the battle within had been won and lost. Perhaps even earlier! That is a poser which we leave to the readers. But one thing is certain that the Rashtrapati and the Rebel President, the Desh Gaurab and the Netaji, the creator of the First Government of the Free India and the beloved leader of the Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Parsees, had been moulded between 1897 and 1921. This is the period covered by "An Indian Pilgrim". It is the masterly analysis of a Humanitarian, a WWW.HINDUSTANBOOKS.COM 4 PREFACE Psychologist, a Statesman and a Soldier, looking back on the formative years of his life.

  • Jagadish Chandra Bose the Physicist Who Was Forgotten
    Jagadish Chandra Bose The Physicist who was forgotten Dr. D. P. Sen Gupta Retd. Professor, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore This paper touches upon the life of the great Polymath, Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose, his upbringing, his academic achievements, his researches with emphasis on his wireless transmission of millimeter waves that were far ahead of his time and hence went unrecognized for decades, his invention of diode which would not have been recognized had it not been for a patent that he was forced to apply for and was granted. With radical changes in communication technology, he is recognized as the forerunner of smart phones widely used today. Jagadish Chandra Bose, grew up on the shoulders of a dacoit. His father Bhagavan Chandra Basu was a Deputy Magistrate and he appointed a dacoit who on being released from the jail came to Bhagawan Chandra for a job. Bhagawan Chandra appointed him as a servant to take care of his four-year-old son Jagadish. Bhagavan Chandra set up a primary school for children of washer men, sweepers and other low earning people of the town and sent Jagadish to the same school. After completing high school education away from home, he went to St. Xavier’s College in Calcutta where he came under the influence of Father Lafont. After studies at St. Xavier’s College under Father Lafont., He set off for England in 1880 to study medicine. Afflicted by Kala azar before he left India, he had difficulties to continue the study of medicine and joined Christ’s College, Cambridge, in 1881 under the tutorship of Lord Rayleigh, who was a polymath.
