    Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: Contributions of a Revolutionary to Indian Social Reforms and Indian Industrial Relations

    ArthaJ SocSci, 15, 2 (2016), 69-85 ISSN 0975-329X|doi.org/10.12724/ajss.37.4 Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: Contributions of a Revolutionary to Indian Social Reforms and Indian Industrial Relations Anuplal Gopalan* Abstract NetajiSubhas Chandra Bose –the fiery Indian revolutionary has been in the news during 2015 and 2016 in connection with the declassification of files about his mysterious disappearance after 18th of August 1945. Of late, maximum research and writings on the leader have been about the mystery and associated theories connected with his disappearance, with the Indian Prime Minister himself taking a keen interest. It is largely History and to some extent Political Science, which as academic disciplines, has incorporated Subhas Chandra Bose as “Topic of Study/Research”. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose had an in-depth knowledge of not only the Indian Society but also Japanese and European Society. He was a very keen observer of Indian Society and with his keen observation and constant interaction with a wide section of the general public during his constant travels, both within India and abroad, he was aware of various social problems particular to India and its magnitude. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was also fully aware of the British Colonial interests (the cunning-oppressive Agenda) who did not want the total eradication of social problems,especially that of caste and communal rivalry.

    Print Culture Amongst Tamils and Tamil Muslims in Southeast Asia, C.1860-1960

    Working Paper No. 167 Print Culture amongst Tamils and Tamil Muslims in Southeast Asia, c.1860-1960 by Dr. S.M.A.K. Fakhri Madras Institute of Development Studies 79, Second Main Road, Gandhi Nagar Adyar, Chennai 600 020 February 2002 Print Culture amongst Tamils and Tamil Muslims in Southeast Asia, c. 1860-1960 Authors name and institutional affiliation: Dr SM AK Fakhri Affiliate, June-December 2001 Madras Institute of Development Studies. Abstract of paper: This paper is about the significance of print in the history of Tamil migration to Southeast Asia. During the age of Empire people migrated from India to colonial Malaya resulting in the creation of newer cultural and social groups in their destination (s). What this .meant in a post-colonial context is that while they are citizens of a country they share languages of culture, religion and politics with 'ethnic kin' in other countries. Tamils and Tamil-speaking Muslims from India were one such highly mobile group. They could truly be called 'Bay of Bengal transnational communities' dispersed in Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. The construction of post-colonial national boundaries constricted but did not affect the transnationalism of Tamils across geographies and nation-states. A thriving and successful print culture is a pointer to the manner in which Tamils and Tamil Muslim expressed their transnational (Tamil) identities. Such a print culture this paper suggests is a rich and valuable source of social history. Keywords Print, Print Culture, transnational communities, migration, mobility, social history, Tamils, Tamil Muslims, India, Indian migrants, Indian Ocean region.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the genesis, outbreak and far-reaching effects of the first among a series of incidents of mass violence which determined the course of British colonial rule in post World War Two Singapore. I argue that the Maria Hertogh riots stemmed from British failure to address four crucial factors which shaped the Singapore Muslim community’s attitudes towards the colonial regime: the influence of radical ideas, the effects of socio-economic marginalisation, press sensationalisation of the legal controversy, and the ineffectiveness of the police force. The outbreak of the riots had a negative effect on the image and role of the British colonial administration in Singapore, which jeopardised diplomatic ties between the British Empire, The Netherlands and the Muslim World.

RELIGIOUS HARMONY IN SINGAPORE A thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies at Massey University Evelyn Teresa Louis 1998 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people I would like to acknowledge for their role in the completion of this thesis. First, my supervisors Dr Brian Colless and Associate Professor Peter Donovan for their guidance, unwavering support and invaluable advice throughout the entire project. I have only warm memories of my association with the Department of Religious Studies at Massey University, and for this, I am grateful to Dr Bronwyn Elsmore for her constant encouragement and Ms. Sharon Cox for her patience in sorting out all my computer glitches (of which there were many!). I am deeply indebted to Dr John Battersby, without whose insistence and initial encouragement, this thesis would have never seen the light of day. Your academic brilliance will always be an inspiration to me. In terms of financial support, I would also like to express my appreciation to the Massey Doctoral Research Committee for their scholarship and generous research grants which helped finance this study. My gratitude also to Mr Ramesh Appoo and Mr Jamshed K. Fozdar for their invaluable contacts, and to the numerous people who made time in their busy schedules to grant me interviews.

BETWEEN SELF AND SOLDIER: INDIAN SIPAHIS AND THEIR TESTIMONY DURING THE TWO WORLD WARS By Gajendra Singh Thesis submitted to the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, University of Edinburgh for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History 2009 ! ! "! ! Abstract This project started as an attempt to understand rank-and-file resistance within the colonial Indian army. My reasons for doing so were quite simple. Colonial Indian soldiers were situated in the divide between the colonizers and the colonized. As a result, they rarely entered colonialist narratives written by and of the British officer or nationalist accounts of the colonial military. The writers of contemporary post-colonial histories have been content to maintain this lacuna, partly because colonial soldiers are seen as not sufficiently ‘subaltern’ to be the subjects of their studies.
