Modern History: XI -Indian Freedom Struggle (1911-17) Government Repression ● The authorities took immediate action, aided by the Defence of India Rules, 1915. ● The British met the wartime threat by a formidable battery of repressive measures — the most intensive since 1857 — & above all by the Defence of India Act passed, in March 1915 primarily to smash the Ghadr movement. ● Rebellion regiments were disbanded, leaders arrested ,deported & hanged. ● There were large scale detentions without trial, special courts giving extremely severe sentences, numerous court - martials of army men.

Modern History: XI -Indian Freedom Struggle (1911-17) Evaluation of Ghadr (Cont...) ● Rash Behari Bose was accepted as the leader of the abortive Ghadar revolt in 1915. ● Far from dwelling on the greatness of the Sikhs or the Punjabis, the Ghadarites constantly criticized the loyalist role played by the Punjabis during 1857. ● Democratic & egalitarian content: Ghadarites clearly stated that their objective was the establishment of an independent republic of India. Modern History: XI -Indian Freedom Struggle (1911-17) Evaluation of Ghadr (Cont...) ● But politically & militarily, it failed to achieve much because it ○ lacked an organised & sustained leadership, ○ underestimated the extent of preparation required at every level—organisational, ideological, financial & tactical strategic — & ○ perhaps Lala Hardayal was unsuited for the job of an organizer. Modern History: XI -Indian Freedom Struggle (1911-17) Previous Year Question Q.

Modern History: XI -Indian Freedom Struggle (1911-17) Home Rule League Movement ● Indian response to the 1st World War in a less charged but a more effective way than the response of Indians living abroad which took the form of the romantic Ghadr adventure. ● The Indian Home Rule Leagues were organized on the lines of the Irish Home Rule Leagues & they represented the emergence of a new trend of aggressive politics. Modern History: XI -Indian Freedom Struggle (1911-17) Home Rule League Movement(Cont…) ● Tilak & Besant realised that the sanction of a Moderate-dominated Congress as well as full cooperation of the extremists was essential for the movement to succeed. ● Having failed at the 1914 session of the Congress to reach a Moderate-Extremist rapprochement, Tilak & Besant decided to revive political activity on their own while maintaining their pressure on the Congress to re-admit the Extremists.

    The Intersection of Racial and Sexual Marginalisation and Repression in Rex Vs Singh (2008) and Seeking Single White Male (2010) by Yilong (Louie) Liu

    Confronting Ambiguity: The Intersection of Racial and Sexual Marginalisation and Repression in Rex vs Singh (2008) and Seeking Single White Male (2010) By Yilong (Louie) Liu A major research paper presented to OCAD University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Contemporary Art, Design, and New Media Art Histories Toronto, Ontario, Canada, April 2018 ©Yilong Liu, 2018 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this major research paper.

Signature___________ ii Abstract This MRP examines how Canadian filmmakers and artists explore racial and sexual marginalisation in Canada. Two films in particular exemplify different forms of racism towards South Asian immigrants. The first, Rex vs Singh (2008), an experimental documentary produced by John Greyson, Richard Fung, and Ali Kazimi, showcases the ambiguous application of immigration policies to repress South Asian immigration. Through different reconstructed montages, the film confronts these ambiguities in relation to the court case. The second, Seeking Single White Male (2010), a performance-video work by Toronto-based artist Vivek Shraya—South Asian descent, demonstrates not only the dominant racial norms and white normativity in queer communities in Toronto, but also the ambivalence in performing racial identification.

    Bhagat Singh: the Manque’- Radicalist

    August - 2012 Odisha Review Bhagat Singh: The Manque’- Radicalist Dr. Jugal Kishore Mishra In colonialist literature, Bhagat Singh has been (mis)identified as “Terrorist”. But for the nationalists of India, Bhagat Singh epitomizes “bravery and sacrifice”. He is neither an anarchist nor a terrorist. He is a symbol / icon of revolution. A proto-communist, a manque- radicalist and a committed secularist, he is promethean figure with courage and conviction to take on the mighty. An ideologue like M.K. Gandhi, he is a perfect foil to Gandhi himself. Belonging more to the super league of BG Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bhagat Singh is an apt archetypal image of martyrdom and emancipatory militarism. Introduction of his father, of his uncles Swaran Singh and Ajit Singh, and by the silent heroism of his mother, The third son of Sardar Kishan Singh and Bhagat, a student of class-IV, declared that his Vidyavati of the village Banga in driving ambition was to “drive the the district of Layalpura, Bhagat British out of India”.

    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.

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.
  • The Ghadar Movement: Why Socialists Should Learn About It

    The Ghadar Movement: Why Socialists Should Learn About It

    Socialist Studies / Études socialistes 13 (2) Fall 2018 Copyright © 2018 The Author(s) Article THE GHADAR MOVEMENT: WHY SOCIALISTS SHOULD LEARN ABOUT IT RADHA D’SOUZA University of Westminster KASIM ALI TIRMIZEY York University Exile did not suit me, I took it for my homeland When the noose of my net tightened, I called it my nest. Mirza Asadullah Khan “Ghalib” [b. December 1797, Agra, India, d. February 1869, Delhi, India]1 I In May 2016 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau formally apologized on behalf of the Government of Canada for the 1914 Komagata Maru incident, a singular event in the anti-colonial struggle against the British Empire launched by the newly formed Ghadar Party in North America. The apology came even as the anti-migrant vitriol in the wider society amplified. In late 2013 and again in early 2014, a memorial for the Ghadar martyrs in Harbour Green Park in Vancouver was vandalised twice within months. Notwithstanding the antagonism against immigrants in the public domain, Trudeau’s apology had settled Canada’s accounts with history and able to “move on.” The Trudeau government appointed Harjit Sajjan, a retired Lieutenant Colonel and war veteran in the Canadian Army as the defence minister, the first South Asian to hold the position. In 2011, Harjit Singh was interestingly made the commanding officer of one of the Canadian Army regiments that was historically involved in preventing passengers aboard the Komagata Maru from disembarking. Harjit Sajjan was deployed in Afghanistan where he used his familiarity with language, culture and traditions of the region in favour of imperialist agendas in the region, the very Afghanistan where the Ghadarites from his home state were instrumental in establishing the first government-in-exile of free India a hundred years ago.

  • The Komagata Maru Incident and the Hope Slide As Historiographie Metadrama

    The Komagata Maru Incident and the Hope Slide As Historiographie Metadrama

    INVESTIGATING BRITISH COLUMBIA'S PAST: The Komagata Maru Incident and The Hope Slide as Historiographie Metadrama GEORGE BELLIVEAU N HISTORICAL DRAMA Herbert Lindenberger admits "that by a strict definition one cannot categorize historical dramas as a genre I at all, though one can speak of specific forms of historical plays which prevailed at certain moments in history" (1975, ix). In an important essay on Canadian historical drama, Richard Knowles notes that since the early 1970s, Canadian playwrights have been making use of a specific form of historical play- historiographie metadrama. He adapts this term from Linda Hutcheon's idea of historiographie metafiction, which she discusses in The Canadian Postmodern, and suggests that this genre of drama incorporates "self-reflexive, metadramatic forms to highlight the instability both of history and dramatic texts" (Knowles 1987, 228). Knowles mentions that Canadian playwrights and collectives have been making use of historiographie metadrama for years - Rick Salutin and Theatre Passe Muraille's i8jy: The Farmers' Revolt (1973), Sharon Pollock's Walsh (1973), James Reaney's Sticks and Stones (1973), among others - yet, despite the "ripe and rewarding object of critical inquiry" (241) these plays offer, "Canadian drama and theatre critics ... have been slow to respond to deconstructionist Canadian plays on historical subjects" (229). This essay, which examines Sharon Pollock's The Komagata Maru Incident (1976) and Joan MacLeod's The Hope Slide (1992), takes up Knowles's invitation to study Canadian plays on historical subjects as historiographie metadramas. The Komagata Maru Incident and The Hope Slide reexamine specific moments in British Columbia's history by using metadramatic devices, and my investigation focuses on uncovering how, and, more importantly, why Pollock and MacLeod examine British Columbia's past using this particular dramatic form.
  • Sikh Self-Sacrifice and Religious Representation During World War I

    Sikh Self-Sacrifice and Religious Representation During World War I

    religions Article Sikh Self-Sacrifice and Religious Representation during World War I John Soboslai Department of Religion, Montclair State University, 1 Normal Ave., Montclair, NJ 07043, USA; [email protected] Received: 5 January 2018; Accepted: 8 February 2018; Published: 10 February 2018 Abstract: This paper analyzes the ways Sikh constructions of sacrifice were created and employed to engender social change in the early twentieth century. Through an examination of letters written by Sikh soldiers serving in the British Indian Army during World War I and contemporary documents from within their global religious, legislative, and economic context, I argue that Sikhs mobilized conceptions of self-sacrifice in two distinct directions, both aiming at procuring greater political recognition and representation. Sikhs living outside the Indian subcontinent encouraged their fellows to rise up and throw off their colonial oppressors by recalling mythic moments of the past and highlighting the plight of colonial subjects of the British Raj. Receiving less discussion are Punjabi Sikhs who fought in British forces during the Great War and who spoke of their potential sacrifice as divinely sanctioned in service to a benevolent state. Both sides utilized religious symbolism in the hope that Sikhs would again enjoy a level of self-rule that had been lost with the arrival of the British Empire. Keywords: Sikhism; World War I; self-sacrifice; imperialism; British Raj When the British Raj gave way to the dual nation-states of India and Pakistan in 1947, the partitioning of the two was determined largely on the basis of religion. Pakistan became the home for the area’s large Muslim population, and India for its Hindus.
