  • 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.

    DC-1 SEM-2 Paper: Nationalism in India Lesson: Beginning of constitutionalism in India Lesson Developer: Anushka Singh Research scholar, Political Science, University of Delhi 1 Institute of Lifelog learning, University of Delhi Content: Introducing the chapter What is the idea of constitutionalism A brief history of the idea in the West and its introduction in the colony The early nationalists and Indian Councils Act of 1861 and 1892 More promises and fewer deliveries: Government of India Acts, 1909 and 1919 Post 1919 developments and India’s first attempt at constitution writing Government of India Act 1935 and the building blocks to a future constitution The road leading to the transfer of power The theory of constitutionalism at work Conclusion 2 Institute of Lifelog learning, University of Delhi Introduction: The idea of constitutionalism is part of the basic idea of liberalism based on the notion of individual’s right to liberty. 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.

  • Khudiram Bose the Symbol of Valiance and Death Defying Youth
    Khudiram Bose The Symbol of Valiance and Death Defying Youth The silent night was approaching dawn. Footsteps of the guards in the jail corridor broke the silence. Slowly it stopped before the ‘condemned cell’. When the get was opened, a teenage boy with a smiling innocent face greeted them. He advanced in fearless strides to embrace death, with the guards merely following him. He stood upright on the execution platform, with the smile unfaded. His face was covered with green cloth, hands were tied behind, the rope encircled his neck. The boy stood unflinched. With the signal of the jailor Mr. Woodman, hangman pulled the lever. The rope swinging a little became still. It was 6 am. The day was 11th August 1908. The martyrdom of death defying Khudiram demarcated the onset of a new era in the course of Indian freedom movement. The martyrdom of Khudiram rocked the entire nation. The dormant youth of a subject nation, oblivious of its own strength, dignity and valor shook off its hibernation. Khudiram’s martyrom brought a new meaning of life, new concept of dignity to the youth of his day. In his wake, like wave after wave, hundreds and thousands of martyrs upheld the truth that the only way to lead a dignified life is by dedicating it for the noblest cause, freedom. They came one after another, incessantly, shed their bloods, faced terrible torture, but never bowed their heads down. 3rd December 1889. Khudiram was born at Habibpur village, adjacent to Midnapore town. His father was Troilokyanath and his mother was Laksmipriya Devi.
