Page 151-201 Bombay Swaraj Party—How formed M. R. Jayakar and Jamnadas M. Mehta were asked by C. R. Das to form a branch of the Swaraj Party in Bombay City towards the end of March 1923. Accordingly a meeting was held on March 25th, 1923, when the question of forming the branch was discussed. About two dozen Liberals and Moderates were present. K. Natrajan presided. The majority of those present were in favour of postponing all discussion regarding the formation of a branch until April 30th when the period allowed to the No-change Party within which to raise 50,000 volunteers and rupees 25 lakhs would end. Accordingly the discussion was postponed to 30th April. In the meantime it was decided that the new Party members should sign the Congress Creed. In the beginning of May, M. R. Jayakar and Jamnadas Mehta appointed the following people as the Secretaries of the local branch and opened an office in Khatao Building, Girgaon:— (1)Purshottam Tricumdas, Bar-at-Law. (2)J. K. Mehta. (3)A. G. Mulgaonkar. Office-bearers appointed On 8th May 1923 a private meeting of the new Party took place at Jayakar house when the following office-bearers were appointed:— 1 President K. Natrajan. 4 Vice-Presidents M. R. Jayakar. Vithalbhai J. Patel. Jamnadas M. Mehta. J. K. Mehta. 5 Secretaries A. G. Mulgaonkar. Purshottamdas Tricumdas. S. H. Jhabwalla. B. G. Kher and Jafferbhoy H. Lalji. 2 Treasurers Shantaram N. Dabholkar. Manilal D. Nanawati, Solicitor. The same evening a public meeting was held by the Party and Mr. Jayakar announced that the chief policy of the Party would be to carry on a constitutional fight in the Councils. (A copy of the constitution and programme of the Party were distributed to the public.) Progress By the middle of May 1923, the branch opened offices in four different localities in the city for enlisting members and collecting funds. About 200 members were enrolled and between the 10th May 1923 and the 31st May 1923, nine public meetings advocating the views of Swaraj Parly for entry into Councils had been held. Bombay City, May 28th.—The Swaraj party of Bombay held a meeting in the Gandharva Mahavidyalaya on May 26th when C. R. Das was expected to speak but was unable to appear as he was engaged with the All-India Congress Committee. There was an audience of about 300. 151 Speeches were made by S. Satyamurti, A. Rangaswami Iyengar and Ranga Iyer. The last mentioned speaker said he was opposed to entry into the Councils and favoured the constructive programme. He also advocated the larger vision. By that he meant Asiatic Federation. In ancient times the peoples of China, Japan, Egypt and India were all one. The Hindu in China or Japan ought to feel now that he was the same as the Hindu in India. By Federation Asiatic would enhance their strength. K. Natrajan, in his concluding remarks, laid the blame of not securing the release of Gandhi on the Liberals. He told the story of his having as a member of the Liberal party last year sent a very moderately-worded resolution to the Provincial Liberal Conference, presided over in Bombay by the Honourable Mr. Sastri. The resolution expressed regret at Gandhi's incarceration. It was unceremoniously rejected. Then it was that he left the Liberal party. The Swaraj party held a meeting on May 27th to enable C. R. Das to put the aims and objects of his Swaraj party before the public of Bombay. Mr. K. Natrajan presided and the crowd of some 2,000 persons collected. C. R. Das was late in arriving and S. Satyamurti spoke first to fill in time. He said that Bombay was the great mother of political movements in India. The Congress had been started here 37 years ago. Bombay had brought about union between the two parties in the Congress. Great men like Das, Pandit Motilal Nehru and Hakim Ajmal Khan had started the Swaraj party and there was no reason to distrust that party. C. R. Das had given himself up to Swaraj party propaganda and therefore success was a foregone conclusion. Das arrived at this point and began to speak. He said he was very grateful to the All-India Congress Committee for arriving at a compromise between the two parties in the Congress. The existence of bitterness could not be denied, but even bitterness was a healthy sign. It showed that everyone had learned to think for himself. Non-co-operation had been a success in so far as it had caused an awakening among the people; but at the same time non-co-operation had given the bureaucracy the opportunity of consolidating its powers. The Swaraj party had been started to undermine those powers. Many people distrusted the Swaraj party's intentions, but this distrust would be removed if they carefully read the programme issued by the party. Those who persisted in distrusting the party, he would request at least to remain neutral. The boycott of the Councils had been a failure as had been the boycott of schools and colleges. He himself was a non-co-operator inside the Councils. The only result of the non-co-operator's abstention from the Councils was that undesirable persons had taken advantage of their absence by filling the Councils themselves. Inspite of the boycott of Councils, Government was flourishing Government was passing unjust laws in the name of the reforms. Even if they went out into the jungle still they could not non-co-operate with Government. They had to abide by the Forest Rules. Let them then enter the Councils. As soon as they entered the Council, the Swaraj party would formulate the legitimate national demands and would insist on Government granting them. If Government refused, the Swaraj party would follow a persistent policy of obstruction until the bureaucracy found it impossible to carry on the administration. The bureaucracy would then by these tactics be forced to give way before the national will until the increase of the popular power in the Councils put an end to the irresponsible rule of the bureaucracy. M. R. Jayakar proposed a vote of thanks to the speaker and the meeting broke up at about 8 p.m. 152 The more public meetings of the Swaraj party were held during the week the chief features of which are tabulated below:— Date Place Speakers No. present Remarks 22nd May Kirtiker's Wadi 1.

New Swaraj Party offices were also opened in June at Arya Bhuwan and in Rambaugh. Nomination of Candidates for Council Elections At a meeting held by the Party on June 23rd, a Selection Committee of 12 persons was appointed to nominate candidates for Council elections.

  • Sri Aurobindo's Notion of Boycott and Its Spiritual
    International Journal of History and Philosophical Research Vol.7, No.1, pp.33-40, February 2019 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) SRI AUROBINDO’S NOTION OF BOYCOTT AND ITS SPIRITUAL IMPLICATION Dr. Debashri Banerjee Assistant Professor and Head of the Department , Department of Philosophy , C.R.P. College, Burdwan University, West Bengal, India ABSTRACT: Sri Aurobindo’s theory of Boycott is very important not only in the context of Indian politics but also to understand the inherent salient feature of Indian independence movement taken place in the pre-independent India. His theory concerning boycott has five counterparts, namely economic boycott, educational boycott, administrative boycott, judicial boycott and social boycott, to convey the uniqueness. Sri Aurobindo discovered the spiritual implication behind this theory of boycott which conveys the uniqueness of his thesis. To him the word ‘boycott’ spiritually stands as a means to preach for Zeitgeist both in the form of Kali and Krishna unlike Bankim. His thesis of boycott is commonly misinterpreted as an act of violence but Sri Aurobindo compared it with an act of self-preservance of the Kshatriya. The way of boycott is somewhat similar with concept of svadharma of the Kshatriya. The political battle of boycott seemed necessary to him for bringing the desired Indian independence. In this way the spiritual sense of boycott becomes inseparable with its political sense to Sri Aurobindo. KEYWORDS: Sri Aurobindo, Boycott, Spriritual implication, politics, Indian independence movement. INTRODUCTION In the social-political theory of Sri Aurobindo swaraj seems to be the path mandatory for transforming a common life into the Life Divine and boycott remains as one of its important corollaries.

    Class - VIII AGRICULTURE OF ASSAM Agriculture forms the backbone of the economy of Assam. About 65 % of the total working force is engaged in agriculture and allied activities. It is observed that about half of the total income of the state of Assam comes from the agricultural sector. Fig 2.1: Pictures showing agricultural practices in Assam MAIN FEATURES OF AGRICULTURE Assam has a mere 2.4 % of the land area of India, yet supports more than 2.6 % of the population of India. The physical features including soil, rainfall and temperature in Assam in general are suitable for cultivation of paddy crops which occupies 65 % of the total cropped area. The other crops are wheat, pulses and oil seeds. Major cash crops are tea, jute, sugarcane, mesta and horticulture crops. Some of the crops like rice, wheat, oil seeds, tea , fruits etc provide raw material for some local industries such as rice milling, flour milling, oil pressing, tea manufacturing, jute industry and fruit preservation and canning industries.. Thus agriculture provides livelihood to a large population of Assam. AGRICULTURE AND LAND USE For the purpose of land utilization, the areas of Assam are divided under ten headings namely forest, land put to non-agricultural uses, barren and uncultivable land, permanent pastures and other grazing land, cultivable waste land, current fallow, other than current fallow net sown area and area sown more than once. 72 Fig 2.2: Major crops and their distribution The state is delineated into six broad agro-climatic regions namely upper north bank Brahmaputra valley, upper south bank Brahmaputra valley, Central Assam valley, Lower Assam valley, Barak plain and the hilly region.

  • Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India
    Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India Gyanendra Pandey CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Remembering Partition Violence, Nationalism and History in India Through an investigation of the violence that marked the partition of British India in 1947, this book analyses questions of history and mem- ory, the nationalisation of populations and their pasts, and the ways in which violent events are remembered (or forgotten) in order to en- sure the unity of the collective subject – community or nation. Stressing the continuous entanglement of ‘event’ and ‘interpretation’, the author emphasises both the enormity of the violence of 1947 and its shifting meanings and contours. The book provides a sustained critique of the procedures of history-writing and nationalist myth-making on the ques- tion of violence, and examines how local forms of sociality are consti- tuted and reconstituted by the experience and representation of violent events. It concludes with a comment on the different kinds of political community that may still be imagined even in the wake of Partition and events like it. GYANENDRA PANDEY is Professor of Anthropology and History at Johns Hopkins University. He was a founder member of the Subaltern Studies group and is the author of many publications including The Con- struction of Communalism in Colonial North India (1990) and, as editor, Hindus and Others: the Question of Identity in India Today (1993).

Her poems express the personal emotions and quality of life through rhyme. Her spontaneous overflow of emotions and Indian ethos is poured out in a lyrical style. This fusion of feelings, music and imagery in expressing Indian life has made her worthy to be called, “The Nightingale of India”. With this lyrical wealth, she has beautifully expressed the hearts and emotions of Indians. She attempted to write mostly short poems, each dealing with a single concept and emotion. She has dealt with various concepts like the life of Indian people, beauty of nature, philosophy of life, Indian women, and patriotism.She was given the name Bharat Kokila on account of the beautiful and rhythmic words of her poems that could be sung as well.“Mrs Naidu has not only enriched our language, but has enabled us to grow into intimate relation with the spirit, the emotions and glamour of the East.” GJHSS-A Classification: FOR Code: 950199 SarojiniNaiduisaWaveofAnIndianOcean Strictly as per the compliance and regulations of: © 2016.
