The objective of this conference is to give a glimpse of socio-political reformers who fought against social stagnation without spreading hatred. Their models have repeatedly succeeded and they have been able to create a perceptible change in the mindset of the people who were wedded to casteism. History is a great treat into the past. It let us live in an era where we are at present. It helps us to relate to people who influenced the shape of the present day. It enables us to understand how the world worked then and how it works now. It provides us with the frame work of knowledge that we need to build our entire lives. We can learn how things have changed ever since and they are the personalities that helped to change the scenario.

Emerging from the Emergency: women in Indira Gandhi’s India, 1975-1977 Gemma Scott Doctor of Philosophy in History March 2018 Keele University Abstract India’s State of Emergency (1975-1977) is a critical period in the independent nation’s history. The government’s suspension of democratic norms and its institution of many, now infamous repressive measures have been the subject of much commentary. However, scholars have not examined Emergency politics from a gendered perspective. Women’s participation in support for and resistance to the regime and their experiences of its programmes are notably absent from historiography. This thesis addresses this gap and argues that a gendered perspective enhances our understanding of this critical period in India’s political history. It assesses the importance of gendered narratives and women to the regime’s dominant political discourses. I also analyse women’s experiences of Emergency measures, particularly the regime’s coercive sterilisation programme and use of preventive detention to repress dissent. I explore how gendered power relations and women’s status affected the implementation of these measures and people’s attempts to negotiate and resist them.

    MADRAS PRESIDENCY WOMEN IN THE QUIT INDIA MOVEMENT by C. Sindhu Prajnya-PSW 2008 Summer Research Intern Economics undergraduate, Stella Maris College, Chennai August 15, 2008 © The Prajnya Trust, 2008 Please do not circulate or cite this paper without written permission. You may request the same by writing to [email protected]. C.Sindhu, Women in the Quit India movement, August 2008 1 “You must be the change you wish to see in the world” – M.K. Gandhi. “Woman is more fitted than man to make exploration and take bolder action in nonviolence. There is no occasion for women to consider themselves subordinate or inferior to man. Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacity. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with women.” (M.K. Gandhi) This paper profiles the participation of women, including student activists, who followed Mahatma Gandhi’s lead by participating in the Quit India Movement. The Quit India Movement was followed by the INA (Indian National Army) activities of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and the RIN (Royal Indian Navy) Mutiny which further weakened the foundation of the British Empire in India. Captain Lakshmi Sehgal of Madras was an associate and Commander of the INA’s Rani Jhansi regiment. During this period, women extended the discipline and sacrifice of their homes to the nation as a whole.1 Women in the early 1940s seem to have wanted to prove Gandhi right. The Quit India Movement ‘Quit India’, ‘Bharat Chhodo’.
