V Movement in Foreign Countries V MOVEMENT IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES INDIA AND IRELAND WORKING TOGETHER (FROM BOMBAY SECRET ABSTRACT OF 1906, No. 7, PAGES 109-111.) S. B., Bombay March 31st.—The following communication has been received from the C. I., Simla : — A copy of the New York, newspaper, THE GAELIC AMERICAN, of the 9th December 1905, was received by the last mail of January, addressed to "The students, 1st class, Madrassa, Calcutta, India." The first article in this issue is headed " India and Ireland working together " and runs as follows :— They have a common enemy and are at last adopting a common policy—Two remarkable Hindustani documents appealing to the native soldiers to stand by their own people—Indian salt and Irish example—From Scinde to Shannon. Ireland and India have a common enemy, which has succeeded in holding them down, robbing and starving them, by sowing division race hatred, and religious animosity among the people. Without the help of Irishmen in England's service no Irish effort for freedom has ever yet been put down, and the Indian soldier in England's pay is the chief obstacle to the emancipation of his own country. The Irish soldier of the British Army contributed largely by his valour to the conquest of India and to the suppression of insurrection and it is well-known that the English Government intends to use Sikhs, Gurkhas and Pathans against Ireland in her next struggle to shake off the yoke of England. The two documents in the Hindustani language one in Persian, the other in Sanskrit characters—which will be found below, each written and translated into English by a native Indian, have reached The Gaelic American from widely separated places, and will show how vigorously the gospel of liberty is being preached in India, and how rapidly the Irish and the Indian peoples are adopting concurrent lines of action. God speed the work. The first of the two documents referred to is in Hindi and is written in the Kaithi character; the second is in Urdu in the Persian character. Both have been reproduced by photo-zincography or some similar process. The text of the translation is as follows :— 1. The Touch of a Whip to an Arab Steed The Irish people in America and Ireland, and the American people also have great sympathy with the rising aspiration of the Indian 543 people, who are oppressed by the perfidious Eritish Government. We want to make it clear to the Indian people, and especially to the Indian seppys, that it is their own fault that their country does not belong to themselves. The cunning and hypocritical English Government makes the Indian people cut the branch on which they stand with their own axe. We, therefore, advise Indians to refrain from joining the British Army and not to aid the English in oppressing the Indians. It is sinful for Hindus and Musalmans to fight against their own countrymen on whose salt they are fed, for it is on Indian salt and not on English salt the sepoys are fed. The British steal the salt of the Indian people by force and give it to the sepoys to fight against their own flesh and blood and against other people in Asia—Afghans, Tibetans and others. This is a fatal sin, and the sepoys should not fire on their own people and their brothers in Asia when the English order them, but should go on the side of Indians and the other people in Asia. A word of advice to a sensible man is like the touch of a whip to an Arab steed. We hope Indians and Indian sepoys will take the advice to heart—India first—India last—-and India for ever. Hail Mother : Hail Motherland : See thy children walking hand in hand. II. Learn a Lesson from Ireland It.is superfluous to tell the people of India that the oppression of England in India has exceeded all bounds. The English have divided the people of Bengal with a view to weaken the strength of the Bengalis. It is superfluous to tell the people of India that the oppression of Parliament of England and trying to awaken the English conscience, they should appeal to their own men in the army, their relatives, and their officers in British service. If the Hindustani Army demands something, it is sure they will get as much in one day as the beggars of the Congress could not succeed in twenty years to get. What is needed is to approach the Sikhs, the Gurkhas, and Pathans—and not the Englishmen. The reason why the people have succeeded in Russia is that the officers in the army help the patriots 544 and well-wishers of the country, and the police officers overlook to arrest those that agitate for common rights. Recently in Japan, when the people rioted to show their resentment against the peace terms of Russia as accepted by Mikado, the soldiers and the police were sent to arrest them. But when the soldiers arrived at the spot, the rioters asked the soldiers whether they were no longer Japanese by being soldiers. The soldiers replied, they were Japanese undoubtedly. The rioters then said " you better walk here and there, and let us do what we please, for we do not intend to harm any one : all that we will do is to punish those that are a cause of our disgrace." Hence the Japanese soldiers kept quiet and themselves took part in the proceedings. Are there no such patriotic well-wishers of the country among Indian soldiers ? Cerjainly there are. It has been heard more than once from the Indian soldiers that personally and privately they are tired of the English. Their pay is much less than that of the English ; that is, the English soldiers are paid four times as much as the Indian soldiers. The English soldiers are given free board and lodging, the Indians have to supply their own board. But the Indian soldiers say, what can they do ? Their educated countrymen hate them ; whereas, if they advise them, they are ready to follow. Therefore, educated men of India, police officers, and officers in the army, if you happen to read THE GAELIC AMERICAN, think over this problem and try to act accordingly, for the liberty of India hangs on your decision. There are several other articles, mostly of a seditious character, on the subject of the relations between India and Great Britain, of which the following is an example :— Indo-Irish Conference The Gaelic American feels so strongly the importance, as well as the necessity, that the fight for the freedom and independence of Ireland should be carried on in alliance with all who are struggling against British oppression that it has decided to adopt the policy of concurrent action with the national movement now in progress in India, and to assist it in every way possible. We are ready to do the same for South Africa, so that with Ireland attacking on the West, India on the East, and South Africa in the Centre, it will go 545 hard if in afew years the three allies by concurrent action in a righteous cause cannot bring the brutal British Government to reason. Already its power is tottering. The infamous Milner, having turned a prosperous South Africa into a howling waste, has disappeared into the limbo of the lost. Curzon the earthen pot that collided with the iron pot Kitchner, as the two floated down the current of the Hindu Ganges, has gone to the bottom, leaving an execrated memory behind him. To finish all the two confederates whom a crass and brutalized people put to rule over them, Balfour and Chamberlain, have toppled from ppwer, while the British capital is the scene of processions of the starving, the hooting and jeering of royalty and its social and political parasites, and the dispersion by the police in the heart of the richest and largest city in the world, of crowds assembled to protest against the " charity " of Britain's land and money, thieves being accepted as a substitute for justice and human right With the enemy's citadel in the state of confusion which these conditions produce, we think it all the more important to carry on the attack with relentless purpose, and feel sure that with the multiplied force of a triple alliance and the concurrent action of Ireland, South Africa and India, the war against the tyrannical rule of the British can be brought to a successful and happy conclusion. It has been ascertained that the address on the wrapper of the copy sient in the Calcutta Madrassa is in the handwriting of Direndro Nath Mookerjee, a Bengalee student, now studying at Corcallis, Oregon, U.S.A. One of his fellow-students is Mahesh Chandra Sinha alias Mahesh Singh, and it is possible that he is the writer of both the sedtious documents. 2 THE INDIAN BRANCH OF THE GERMAN INTELLIGENCE BUREAU AT BERLIN (BOMBAY POLICE COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE FILE NO. 3120/H.) The German Intelligence Bureau the headquarters of which are at 28, Wieland Strasse Charlotteoburge, Berlin, has established an Indian Branch known as the "Indian National Party ". Virendranath Chattopadhyaya, son of the late Dr. Agher Nath Chattopadhyaya of Hyderabad and the brother of the poetess Sarojini Naidu is at the head of this branch and Chempakraman Pillai the protege of Sir Walter Strickland is one of the members. Har Dayal, who has also 546 joined the party, has been sent on a special mission to Turkey. The first work of the party was to decide who among the Indians in Germany should be interned and who should be enrolled as members to work against Britain in Germany and elsewhere.

    Excerpt • Temple University Press Introduction An Indian in Washington India and America are located on opposite sides of the earth; therefore it is natural for America to think that we walk upside down, and for us to think that Americans walk upside down. —Pandita Ramabai, The Peoples of the United States (1889) The Sufferance of the Foreigner n late September 1905, the Indian nationalist Lajpat Rai had gathered with a group of tourists in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, when a guide directed Itheir attention to the works of art surrounding them. Plastered on the ceil- ing was The Apotheosis of Washington, a fresco featuring the first U.S. presi- dent on a celestial throne, flanked on each side by figures from classical Greco-Roman and nouveau American mythology (Figure I.1). Just below, The Frieze of American History encircled the rotunda with its selective time- line, and at eye level were enormous neoclassical canvases depicting scenes from the American Revolution and the conquest of the Americas. From ceil- ing to floor, the artwork of the Capitol presented a set of interwoven images that moved seamlessly from the mythological to the historical, containing within it, it would seem, a visual argument: The United States was the heir apparent of Western empire. At the dawn of the new century, as America extended its imperial reach across the globe, who would have thought to see otherwise? In Washington, DC, during a three-week tour of the East Coast, Lajpat Rai discussed his visit in an editorial for the Panjabee, an English-language weekly based out of Lahore.

  • Contributions of Lala Har Dayal As an Intellectual and Revolutionary
    CONTRIBUTIONS OF LALA HAR DAYAL AS AN INTELLECTUAL AND REVOLUTIONARY ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF ^ntiat ai pijtl000pi{g IN }^ ^ HISTORY By MATT GAOR CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2007 ,,» '*^d<*'/. ' ABSTRACT India owes to Lala Har Dayal a great debt of gratitude. What he did intotality to his mother country is yet to be acknowledged properly. The paradox ridden Har Dayal - a moody idealist, intellectual, who felt an almost mystical empathy with the masses in India and America. He kept the National Independence flame burning not only in India but outside too. In 1905 he went to England for Academic pursuits. But after few years he had leave England for his revolutionary activities. He stayed in America and other European countries for 25 years and finally returned to England where he wrote three books. Har Dayal's stature was so great that its very difficult to put him under one mould. He was visionary who all through his life devoted to Boddhi sattava doctrine, rational interpretation of religions and sharing his erudite knowledge for the development of self culture. The proposed thesis seeks to examine the purpose of his returning to intellectual pursuits in England. Simultaneously the thesis also analyses the contemporary relevance of his works which had a common thread of humanism, rationalism and scientific temper. Relevance for his ideas is still alive as it was 50 years ago. He was true a patriotic who dreamed independence for his country. He was pioneer for developing science in laymen and scientific temper among youths.

  • Communism and Religion in North India, 1920–47
    "To the Masses." Communism and Religion in North India, 1920–47 Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor philosophiae (Dr. phil.) eingereicht an der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Patrick Hesse Präsident der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrik Olbertz Dekanin der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät Prof. Dr. Julia von Blumenthal Gutachter: 1. Michael Mann 2. Dietrich Reetz Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 20. Juli 2015 Abstract Among the eldest of its kind in Asia, the Communist Party of India (CPI) pioneered the spread of Marxist politics beyond the European arena. Influenced by both Soviet revolutionary practice and radical nationalism in British India, it operated under conditions not provided for in Marxist theory—foremost the prominence of religion and community in social and political life. The thesis analyzes, first, the theoretical and organizational ‘overhead’ of the CPI in terms of the position of religion in a party communist hierarchy of emancipation. It will therefore question the works of Marx, Engels, and Lenin on the one hand, and Comintern doctrines on the other. Secondly, it scrutinizes the approaches and strategies of the CPI and individual members, often biographically biased, to come to grips with the subcontinental environment under the primacy of mass politics. Thirdly, I discuss communist vistas on revolution on concrete instances including (but not limited to) the Gandhian non-cooperation movement, the Moplah rebellion, the subcontinental proletariat, the problem of communalism, and assertion of minority identities. I argue that the CPI established a pattern of vacillation between qualified rejection and conditional appropriation of religion that loosely constituted two diverging revolutionary paradigms characterizing communist practice from the Soviet outset: Western and Eastern.

    Title Transnational Ghadr Movement : A Diasporic Dimension Author(s) BHATTE, Pallavi Citation 歴史文化社会論講座紀要 (2013), 10: 157-173 Issue Date 2013-02 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2433/171640 Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University Transnational Ghadr Movement 157 Transnational Ghadr Movement: A Diasporic Dimension Pallavi BHATTE Introduction The narratives of India’s national struggle for independence focus mainly on the mainstream internal efforts of natives of the subcontinent. Indian scholars have largely reiterated the role of revolutionaries in foreign lands, however, with an India-centric dialogue. While they do broadly accommodate the role played by Indian freedom fighters beyond the boundaries of British India, they do perhaps tend to be partial and limited. Indeed, inclusive in the narratives is an international arena serving as a backdrop to plot the multiple locations on a global map where actors championed their anti-colonial cause. Moreover, probably not surprisingly, although this viewpoint explains the extensive reach of the independence movement as a whole it is inconsiderate in incorporating the transnational dimension. Specifically scholarship of the Ghadr movement is a classic example that has fallen prey to such marginality. Almost every piece of work on Indian revolutionaries away from their ancestral home discusses the Ghadr movement in the US, the conspiracy theory of the Indo-German collaboration, or the radical Indo-Irish connections on American soil. Some Indian works provide compelling evidential source of foundation for tracing the Indian revolutionary movement beyond Indian boundaries. １） They have underplayed the diasporic contribution toward the independence movement, by treating actors as mere Indian expatriates who had left Indian shores rather than viewing them as a part of a proactive community in their adopted homes.

  • Lajpat Rai in USA 1914 -1919: Life and Work of a Political Exile
    Harish K. Puri Lajpat Rai in USA 1914 -1919: Life and Work of a Political Exile he five year long stay of Lajpat Rai in America (including a six month sojourn in T Japan) was a period of an unanticipated exile contrived by conditions created by the World War. When he sailed from London for New York in November 1914, it was proposed to be a six month trip to collect material for a book on America. But he was not allowed to return to India until the end of 1919. The nature of his life and work in USA was shaped as much by the constraints and challenges in the American situation as by his priorities and the state of his mind. A contextual approach to the study of his work for the national cause of India in USA may be more appropriate for the present exploration. Before we go into the American context of his life and experience, it may be necessary, however, to have an insight into the state of his mind before he went there. The evidence available suggests that when he left India in April 1914 to catch up with the Congress Delegation in England, it appeared to be an escape ‘in panic’. He had lived under grave anxiety when three of the young men closely connected with him were involved as the accused in Lahore-Delhi conspiracy case. Balraj was the son of his close friend Lala Hans Raj. Balmukund, brother of Bhai Parmanand, had lived with Lajpat Rai and worked as his valuable assistant in his social work and aid for the depressed classes.

  • The Hindu Conspiracy Cases: Activities of the Indian
    http://gdc.gale.com/archivesunbound/ HINDU CONSPIRACY CASES: ACTIVITIES OF THE INDIAN INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT IN THE U.S., 1908-1933 During World War I, Indian nationalists took advantage of Great Britain’s preoccupation with the European war by attempting to foment revolution in India to overthrow British rule. Their activities were aided politically and financially by the German Government. Indian nationalists in the United States were active in the independence movement effort through fundraising, arms buying, and propagandizing through the Hindustan Ghadar newspaper published in San Francisco. Date Range: 1908-1933 Content: 2,796 images Source Library: Justice Department Library and U.S. National Archives Detailed Description: From 1915 to 1917, the British government repeatedly requested that the United States government suppress the activities of Ghadar Party in the USA. However, these requests were turned down, as nothing in U.S. law prevented the Indians from seeking to overthrow the British government. Shortly before the outbreak of World War I, the Ghadar intellectual, Lala Hardayal, was arrested for anarchist activities and left the U.S. before he could be deported. With other Indian Nationalists in Europe, he enlisted the aid of Germany, who believed supporting a revolt in India would weaken the United Kingdom. In 1915, Germany offered the Indian Nationalists financial aid for transporting arms and Indians back to India via the United States. The British government claimed that the United States was violating its neutrality with Britain by allowing Germany to conspire with the Indians on American soil. The first of several arrests of the Indian Nationalists were made in the Spring of 1917 with one hundred and five people of various nationalities being arrested.

  • Anarchism in Indonesia
    Anarchism in Indonesia Vadim Damier, Kirill Limanov 2017 The leftist movement in Dutch East Indies emerged first under the influence of the SocialDemo- cratic and Socialist currents of the Netherlands. Anarchist ideas were little known1, although one of the first critics of the Dutch colonial system was the writer-anarchist Eduard Douwes Dekker, known under the pseudonym “Multatuli” (1820–1887). Working in the years 1842–1856 in the colonial administration in the Dutch East Indies (even before his turning to anarchism), he be- came acquainted with the brutality of colonialism and made accusatory speeches, works of art and articles, trying to raise public opinion against the colonialists. At the beginning of the 20th century, the texts of Multatuli exerted a significant influence on the anarchist and syndicalist workers in the Netherlands.2 Grandnephew of Multatuli, Ernest François Eugène Douwes Dekker (1879 — 1950), a native of the European-Indonesian family, became one of the leaders of the anti-colonial movement in the archipelago. During his trip to Europe in 1910 — 1911, he established contacts with activists of radical movements for the liberation of the colonies, including with the Indian Shyamaji Krish- navarma, who later described him as a “political anarchist,” adherent to the tactics of individual acts and assassinations. In the magazine “Het Tijdschrift”, published by E.F.E. Douwes Dekker in Java since 1911, articles of foreign left and radical authors were published, including ofKr- ishnavarma and Indian anarchist Har Dayal. The publisher stressed himself in the materials he wrote that, given the curtailment of workers’ rights in Europe itself, he does not believe that parliamentary democracy can be useful for the society that he seeks to create.

  • Sikh Pioneers and the Crisis of Leadership Dr
    Sikh Pioneers and the Crisis of Leadership Dr. Amrik Singh After Sikh pioneers settled in North America, they set up their social, religious and political institutions. The role of Prof. Teja Singh, a Harvard alumnus, in organizing the community according to principles of Sikhism was noted among Punjabi settlers. He prepared them to face extreme discrimination of the racists with determination and urged them to live their lives as true Sikhs. As an authority on Sikhism, Teja Singh took no recourse to racial theories prevalent at that time. The very principle of race (Aryan) and caste becomes antithetical to the Sikh principle and the Ideal Indian Nationalism. But when Professor Teja Singh left the scene, Sikhs of North America got in trap of ‘race diplomats,’ who used them for continuous financial support for a cause that was evidently pro-Aryan and anti-Sikh. Race diplomats in subtle hands of the British became ‘reciprocal rebels, or freedom fighters.’ Without the tacit patronage of the British rulers, the Indian National Congress, Arya Samaj, and Singh Sabha movements could not have flourished. The British encouraged them to certain defined limits of conduct, so that reciprocal rebels could create Alternative Indian Nationalism under the overall supervision of the British Empire. The history of Pacific Coast Khalsa Diwan Society recorded campaigns of reciprocal ‘freedom fighters’ who mostly used the rhetoric to deceive Sikhs both financially and ideologically. Sikhs’ organizations on the Pacific coast appropriated the Khalsa legacy and made their mark in the agricultural economy of the US. As they were guided by Cambridge and Harvard educated Sant Teja Singh, they flourished socially and religiously.
