Along with other liberal notions,constitutionalism also travelled to India through British colonialism. However, on the one hand, the ideology of liberalism guaranteed the liberal rightsbut one the other hand it denied the same basic right to the colony. The justification to why an advanced liberal nation like England must colonize the ‘not yet’ liberal nation like India was also found within the ideology of liberalism itself. The rationale was that British colonialism in India was like a ‘civilization mission’ to train the colony how to tread the path of liberty.1 However, soon the English educated Indian intellectual class realised the gap between the claim that British Rule made and the oppressive and exploitative reality of colonialism.Consequently,there started the movement towards autonomy and self-governance by Indians.

  • 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.

  • In the Shadow of the Swastika
    In the Shadow of the Swastika; by Marzia Casolari Format: Royal (156 × 234 mm); Style: A; Font: Times New Roman; Dir: Z:/2-Pagination/ITSS_RAPS/ApplicationFiles/9780367508265_text.3d; Created: 15/05/2020 @ 18:55:53 T&F PROOFS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION In the Shadow of the Swastika This book examines and establishes connections between Italian Fascism and Hindu nationalism, connections which developed within the frame of Italy’s anti-British foreign policy. The most remarkable contacts with the Indian political milieu were estab- lished via Bengali nationalist circles. Diplomats and intellectuals played an important role in establishing and cultivating those tie-ups. Tagore’s visit to Italy in 1925 and the much more relevant liaison between Subhas Chandra Bose and the INA were results of the Italian propaganda and activities in India. But the most meaningful part of this book is constituted by the connections and influences it establishes between Fascism as an ideology and a political system and Marathi Hindu nationalism. While examining fascist political lit- erature and Mussolini’s figure and role, Marathi nationalists were deeply impressed and influenced by the political ideology itself, the duce and fascist organisations. These impressions moulded the RSS, a right-wing, Hindu nationalist organisation, and Hindutva ideology, with repercussions on pre- sent Indian politics. This is the most original and revealing part of the book, entirely based on unpublished sources, and will prove foundational for scho- lars of modern Indian history. Marzia Casolari teaches Asian History at the University of Torino, Italy. She has done extensive research on the relations between Italian Fascism and Indian radical nationalism, especially Hindu nationalism.

  • High-Tech, Information and Cyber Conflicts
    Hybrid War: High-tech, Information and Cyber Conflicts Yuriy Danyk; Tamara Maliarchuk; Chad Briggs Abstract: This article examines the advanced technological, information and cyber components of hybrid war and the introduction of suggested countermeasures to counter information and cyber threats and attacks. The main hypothesis of the authors is that revolutionary development and rapid implementation of technologies in innovative ways in all spheres of life facilitate and shape the basis for the transformation of theoretical and practical paradigms of war and conflict. The focus of the article is on the hybrid nature of modern conflict. Introduction Analyses of geopolitical and geostrategic environments have hinted at a reformulation of both the philosophy and art of war, developments brought about from the deployment of new technologies that allow variable intensity and strategies in conflict. These new methods, when combined with traditional understandings of conflict and security, are often coined as “hybrid” warfare. This paper examines the nature of hybrid warfare in Eastern Europe, with a specific focus on the tactics and strategies employed by Russian and allied forces in Ukraine since 2014. The concept of hybrid warfare is not particularly new, representing a combination of conventional and unconventional/irregular warfare, extending beyond the battlefield to encompass economic, diplomatic, information (including psychological, cyber and misinformation), and political warfare.[1] The concept is primarily based on the ability to
