    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.

    Gandhi's Gita and Politics As Such

    Modern Intellectual History, 7, 2 (2010), pp. 335–353 C Cambridge University Press 2010 doi:10.1017/S1479244310000107 gandhi’s gita and politics as such∗ dipesh chakrabarty† and rochona majumdar‡ †Department of History, University of Chicago; ‡Department of South Asian Languages and Civilizations, University of Chicago E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] M. K. Gandhi’s “Discourses on the Gita,” a series of talks delivered to ashramites at Sabarmati during 1926 and 1927, provides a singular instance in Indian intellectual thought in which the Bhagavad Gita’s message of action is transformed into a theory of non-violent resistance. This essay argues that Gandhi’s reading of the Gita has to be placed within an identifiable general understanding of the political that emerged among the so-called “extremists’ in the Congress towards the beginningof the twentieth century. Gandhi, we argue, wrested from the “Extremists” their vocabulary and their pre- eminent political text, the Gita, and put them to use in the cause of non-violent politics. But, more importantly, his discourses on the Gita after 1920 suggest an acceptance, on his part, of politics as it actually was. This is where he departed from the projects of Tilak or Aurobindo. The Gita, in Gandhi’s hand, became a talismanic device that allowed the satyagrahi his or her involvement in political action while providing protection from the necessary and unavoidable venality of politics and its propensity to violence. i Immediately after the Amritsar Congress of December 1919, Gandhi joined issue with the Indian nationalist leader Balagangadhar Tilak, or Tilak Maharaj, or the Lokamanya (as he was popularly called), on the question of the nature of modern politics.

    EMERGING PERSPECTIVES Imagining new worlds: forging ‘non-western’ International Relations in late colonial India Martin J. Bayly reveals an Indian dimension to the development of International Relations studies For some time, the academic discipline of International Relations has comforted itself with the notion that its origins lie in the noble quest for peaceful coexistence after the horrors of the First World War. Given an institutional footing here in the United Kingdom with the establishing Dr Martin J.

Yet in August 1919, the 13th edition of the leading American journal Amer- ican Political Science Review published an article by the Indian sociologist and political theorist Benoy Kumar Sarkar. The paper, titled ‘Hindu Theory of International Relations’, drew upon a wealth of Hindu spiritual texts (the Vedas) published by Oriental Societies in India, the United States and elsewhere, outlining a doctrine of mandala or ‘sphere of influence’. Described as underlying the ‘Hindu idea of the “balance of power”’, he presented the doctrine as pervading multiple texts in the longstanding tradition of Hindu ‘speculation on the Professor Benoy Kumar Sarkar, from the March-April 1917 subject of international relations’, including the famed issue of The Hindusthanee Student. 4th-century BC political writings of Kautilya’s Artha- 1 shastra and Kamandaka’s Nitisara. – as with ideas of ‘Greater Britain’.

  • Beginning of Modern Nationalism in India

    Beginning of Modern Nationalism in India

    Beginning of Modern Nationalism in India Temporal Context: 1850s and onwards Geographical Context: Indian subcontinent particularly presidency areas of Madras, Bombay and Calcutta Social context: Indian renaissance, social reform movement created an atmosphere conducive for the development of Modern Nationalism Political context: The growth of Modern Nationalism in India was influenced by 1. The worldwide upsurge of the concepts of nationalism and right of self-determination initiated by the French Revolution. 2. Modernisation initiated by the British in India. 3. British imperialist policies in India. Factors responsible for the growth of modern nationalism in India 1. Understanding of Contradictions in Indian and Colonial Interests 2. Political, Administrative and Economic Unification of the Country: Modern means of transport and communication brought people, especially the leaders, from different regions together. This was important for the exchange of political ideas and for mobilisation and organisation of public opinion on political and economic issues. 3. Western Thought and Education: The introduction of a modern system of education afforded opportunities for assimilation of modern Western ideas. This, in turn, gave a new direction to Indian political thinking. The liberal and radical thought of European writers like Milton, Shelley, John Stuart Mill, Rousseau, Paine, Spencer and Voltaire helped many Indians imbibe modern rational, secular, democratic and nationalist ideas. 4. Role of Press and Literature: The second half of the nineteenth century saw an unprecedented growth of Indian-owned English and vernacular newspapers, despite numerous restrictions imposed on the press by the colonial rulers from time to time. The press while criticising official policies, on the one hand, urged the people to unite, on the other.
