    1. Letter to Indira Nehru 2. Notes

    1. LETTER TO INDIRA NEHRU [After October 15, 1939]1 CHI. INDU, You must have now lost the habit of writing Hindi. But I must write, mustn’t I, in the rashtrabhasha ? Have you gone there for studies or for falling ill? How did you contract pleurisy? I have suffered the pangs of pleurisy. May God restore you soon to health. Blessings from BAPU From a photostat of the Hindi: C. W. 9805. Courtesy: Nehru Memorial Museum and Library 2. NOTES A POSER A Britisher has written to Deenabandhu Andrews a letter on the war expounding his own views. He is an ardent pacifist. Deenabandhu has shared the letter with me. In it occur the following paragraphs: For India too I think that this is a very critical time. The danger I see is that Britain may promise full Dominion Status or something of the kind, and as a result India will raise an army and become one more military-minded nation. Her witness for the way of non-violence and soul-force would then be largely discounted. How can Gandhiji as a believer in non-violence ask for clarification of war aims with a view to getting India’s support for Britain in this way of war? The only thing that he can do and that we should all be doing is to build up an army of men and women who are committed to the way of love and forgiveness and to receive but never to return violence. We have to work this out to see how it will alter our daily life as well as all our thinking and acting towards other communities and nations.

    Press in Malabar Before 1947: a Historical Review

    JASC: Journal of Applied Science and Computations ISSN NO: 1076-5131 PRESS IN MALABAR BEFORE 1947: A HISTORICAL REVIEW Anoop V.S. Ph.D. Research Scholar (Reg. No.18113161081006) Department of History & Research Centre, Scott Christian College (Autonomous), Nagercoil – 629 003. Affiliated to Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Abishekapatti, Tirunelveli – 627 012, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract: The press is the most powerful force of social emancipation. The history of Press in India is deeply related with advent of colonialism and imperialism. It was the missionaries who took interest to the introduction of press in India. They introduced it as part of the propagation of Christianity. But later it became a most powerful tool to root out colonialism in India. It has played a significant role in the rise and growth of Indian National Movement. History of Indian press is linked to the history of India’s freedom struggle. In Kerala attempts made by missionaries for the spread of Christianity was major factor responsible for the growth of press in Kerala. Later it became shaping force of Kerala society.This paper examines the development and growth of press in Malabar region of Kerala. Key words: press, colonialism, culture, human rights, mobilization Introduction The press is the most powerful and effective mechanism to bring desired and progressive changes in the society. It playscrucial in the formation of the behaviour pattern of the people. History always remembers us by examples that in all major world events like revolutions, world wars, agitations, political developments,and culturalformation etc. the role of press is important. The press can change its course and results.

    Peasants Media Literature

    Dr. V. Sivadasan A leading Left activist with an eventful political career, marked by the mass struggles that he had led from his student days. A former national president of SFI, he was noted for his extensive political interventions, leading agitations, addressing vital socio-economic and political issues. On several occasions, the protest actions have led to his arrest and incarceration in various prisons across the country, including Tihar. He is a notable presence in the public sphere of Kerala through his political and academic interventions and has several articles and writings to his credit in notable journals and newspapers of English and Malayalam. He has done his doctoral research on the historical role played by media and literature in the agrarian transformation witnessed by the Kerala society for which he was awarded Ph.D by the Kannur University. He has successfully completed his post doctoral research from Jawaharlal Nehru University on the Dalit representation in education sector jobs in Kerala focusing on aspects of exclusion and discrimination. He is a member of the Kerala State Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and he is functioning as the Director (Independent) of the Kerala State Electricity Board Ltd. BOOKS DC PREFACE History involves an attempt to make sense of the past. It comprises the effort to make sense of the process of advancement of human societies and the dynamics of the interaction of various forces that contribute to the human progress any narration of the past, or for that matter, of the present cannot escape the element of subjectivity the interaction of values and facts is unavoidable in any construction of history the most suitable approach to history is a matter of intense unsettled debate in historiography but the inability of any social theorist to remain value free is almost taken for granted in contemporary historiography.

    Higgins, SA, et al. 2018 River linking in India: Downstream impacts on water discharge and suspended sediment transport to deltas. Elem Sci Anth, 6: 20. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1525/elementa.269 RESEARCH ARTICLE River linking in India: Downstream impacts on water discharge and suspended sediment transport to deltas Stephanie A. Higgins*,†, Irina Overeem*, Kimberly G. Rogers* and Evan A. Kalina‡,§ To expand agricultural production and address water scarcity, India is moving forward with the National Downloaded from http://online.ucpress.edu/elementa/article-pdf/doi/10.1525/elementa.269/471268/269-4804-1-pb.pdf by guest on 29 September 2021 River Linking Project (NRLP), which will connect 44 rivers via 9,600 km of canals. Here, we compile the first complete database of proposed NRLP dams, reservoirs and canals, including operating schedules for Himalayan infrastructure. We evaluate potential NRLP-derived changes to mean annual water discharge for 29 rivers and mean monthly water and sediment discharge for six rivers flowing to five major deltas. Sediment rating curves are used to quantify the impacts of changing water discharge within the rivers, and basin-wide trapping efficiency is established for new reservoirs. Given full implementation of the NRLP, we forecast reductions in annual suspended sediment transport to deltas of 40–85% (Mahanadi), 71–99% (Godavari) and 60–97% (Krishna) due to profound reservoir trapping and peak streamflow reductions. The Ganga before its confluence with the Brahmaputra is projected to experience a 39–75% reduction in annual suspended load. The Brahmaputra before its confluence with the Ganga is projected to experience a 9–25% reduction in suspended load, despite losing only 6% of its annual water flow.
