  • Asian Culture BA Semester II Paper I : South Asia
    Asian Culture B.A. Semester II Paper I : South Asia (1870-1919) Department of Western History University of Lucknow (Course Instructor: Prof. Abha Trivedi) The Rise of Revolutionary Nationalism After the outbreak of 1857, it took Indians a while to raise arms against the British Government. The First incident of this kind was remarked in 1872, when Kuka Sikhs of Punjab under the leadership of Satguru Ram Singh ji, demanded for Socio-Religious reforms. Vasudev Balwant Phadke was a renowned Revolutionary. He formed a Revolutionary group called, “Ramoshi'' collaborating Bhil, Koli and Dhaangar tribes. He raided rich and corrupt people so he can help the poor with money and other provisions. On 10th and 11th may 1879, he raided and looted a sum of 1.5 lakh rupees. Therefore, he was branded as Dakait (Robber). He was like the Robin Hood of the 19th century India. He was captured in July 1879 and sentenced to jail. He died 4 years later. After a while, on 22 June 1897, Damodar Hari Chapekar and Bal Krishna Hari Chapekar shot Plague commissioner of Poona, Mr. Walter Charles Rand and his escort officer, Lt. Ayerst dead. They were arrested for assassinating these Officers and sentenced to death and executed by the gallows. Note:- Chapekar brothers were: Damodar Hari, Bal Krishna Hari and Vasudev Hari. Movement in Bengal: The people who initiated movement in Bengal, called themselves as “Bhadralok Samaj” (Noblemen’s Society). The Pioneers of the Revolutionary movement were Barindra Kumar Ghosh and Bhupendar Nath Dutta. Varinder wrote a pamphlet named “Bhawani Mandir”. To teach people how to fight, they published “Rules of Modern Warfare.” A Secret revolutionary organization, Anushilan Samiti was founded in Bengal, 1902.

Or should we regard the colonial state as simply another specific form in which the modern state has generalized itself across the globe? If the latter is the case, then of course the specifically colonial form of the emergence of the institutions of the modern state would be of only incidental, or at best episodic, interest; it would not be a necessary part of the larger, and more important, historical narrative of modernity.The idea that colonialism was only incidental to the history of the development of the modern institutions and technologies of power in the countries of Asia and Africa is now very much with us. In some ways, this is not surprising, because we now tend to think of the period of colonialism as something we have managed to put behind us, whereas the progress of modernity is a project in which we are all, albeit with varying degrees of enthusiasm, still deeply implicated.

  • Bhagat Singh
    Making Of A Revolutionary Bhagat Singh Making Of A Revolutionary Over half a century ago, a bomb was thrown in the central Legislative Assembly, Delhi, to make the deaf hear. Bhagat Singh, the leader of the group, which committed this heroic act, has today become an official mar- tyr of the capitalist-landlord government. In his memory, ministers give speeches, garland statues and inaugurate exhibitions. This is not surprising. When leaders of the oppressed masses die, the ruling class uses these meth- ods to divert the people from their revolutionary ideas by glorifying their name. Therefore, while exploiters make a mockery of Bhagat Singhs mar- tyrdom, the working class and the people of India must once again remem- ber the revolutionary ideas of one of its bravest sons and pledge itself to the cause for which he and his comrades made the ultimate sacrifice. Born in 1917, Bhagat Singh belonged to a family well known for its anti-imperialist views. Ajit Singh, his uncle, was a nationalist leader who was imprisoned for his opposition to British imperialism. As Bhagat Singh grew up, India and the world underwent great changes. First, the needs of the First Imperialist War (1914-1918) led to a growth in industry and with that the numbers of the working class. Secondly, the revolution in Russia (1917) led by the working class gave inspiration to the liberation struggles in the colonial countries. In these circumstances, the Congress, led by Gandhi, started the Non- co-operation Movement. Thousands flooded the streets in response to Gandhis call. The days of British rule seemed num- bered.

  • Jhajjar Through Ages
    1 1 Jhajjar Through Ages *Dr. Jagdish Rahar Abstract Jhajjar is 35 KMs. to the south of Rohtak and 55 KMs. west of Delhi. The name of district is said to be derived from its supported founder, One Chhaju and Chhaju Nagar converted into Jhajjar. Another derivation connects the name with a natural fountain called Jhar Nagar. A third derivation is from Jhajjar, a water vessel, because the surface drainage of the country for miles runs into the town as into a sense. Introduction : Unfortunately, the archeologists have paid little attention to the region of the present study, therefore, the detailed information ancient people of Jhajjar (Haryana) region is not known. However, now an attempt has been made to throw welcome light on the ancient cultures of Jhajjar on the basis of information collected from explorations and as well as from the excavations conducted in the different parts of Haryana. Seed of Colonization: Pre-Harappan : The archeological discoveries proved beyond doubt that the region under present study was inhabited for the first time in the middle of the third millennium B.C. by a food producing farming and pastoral community known as ‘Pre-Harappan’. During the course of village to village survey of this region, six sites were discovered by the researcher which speaks of Pre- Harappan culture namely Mahrana, Kemalgarh, SilaniKesho, Raipur, Silana II, Surha.1 All these sites have cultural identity with Kalibangan-I1, Siswal2, Banwali3, Mitathal-I4 and Balu-A5, where Pre-Harappan peoples in the middle of the third millennium B.C. mode their settlements.. Terracotta bangles were also used as the ornaments.
