And yet it is a truly- important work destined to have a great educational effect. It is a history of India's peaceful- struggle for liberation under Gandhi's guidance. All that happened there came about in our time — under our very eyes. What makes the book into a most effective work of art is simply the choice and arrangement of the facts reported. It is the skill pf the born historian, in whose hands the various threads are held together and woven into a pattern from which a complete picture emerges. How is it that a young man is able to create such a mature work? The author gives us the explanation in an introduction: He considers it his bounden duty to serve a cause with all his ower and without flinching from any sacrifice, a cause v aich was clearly embodied in Gandhi's unique personality: to overcome, by means of the awakening of moral forces, the danger of self-destruction by which humanity is threatened through breath-taking technical developments. The threatening downfall is characterized by such terms as "depersonalization" regimentation “total war"; salvation by the words “personal responsibility together with non-violence and service to mankind in the spirit of Gandhi I believe the author to be perfectly right in his claim that each individual must come to a clear decision for himself in this important matter: There is no “middle ground ".

  • Agrarian Movements in Bihar During the British Colonial Rule: a Case Study of Champaran Movement
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Research International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Research ISSN: 2455-2070; Impact Factor: RJIF 5.22 Received: 06-09-2020; Accepted: 17-09-2020; Published: 07-10-2020 www.socialsciencejournal.in Volume 6; Issue 5; 2020; Page No. 82-85 Agrarian movements in Bihar during the British colonial rule: A case study of Champaran movement Roma Rupam Department of History, Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur, Bihar, India Abstract British colonial rule in India brought about transformation in every area of Indian social, political and economic life. The impact of British colonial rule on agrarian society was decisive. The policy of colonial rule had changed the agrarian structure in India. The colonial rule had also developed new mechanisms to interact with peasants. Both new agrarian structure and new mechanisms to interact with peasants divided the agrarian society into the proprietors, working peasants and labourers. The roots of exploitation and misery of majority of people in agrarian society can be traced in the land tenure systems. The land relations were feudal in the permanent settlement areas. In the areas of Mahalwari and Ryotwari areas, the land had passed to absentee moneylenders, Sahukars and businessman due to large scale peasants’ indebtedness. This paper will give an overview of some of the major agrarian movements and their impact on the agrarian society. The peasants had been the worst sufferers of British Raj in colonial India. Because of the nature of land revenue system and its impact on agrarian society, the agrarian movements emerged in many parts of India.

Muzaffarpur, (Bihar) India Abstract The presidential address of Babu Brajkishore Prasad at the 1911 session of the sixth Bihar Students’ Conference—which took place annually during Dasahara1 period-- needs to be seen in its transitional, historical context. First of all, the speech takes place in 1911, when one of the most important missions of Babu Brajkishore Prasad’s public life and that of his other eminent contemporaries from Bihar, was about to become a reality. The mission, of course, was the carving out of Bihar from Bengal and making it a separate province. The issue of Bihar was settled with the Delhi Durbar proclamation in December 1911, cancelling the Partition of Bengal as announced in 1905. The separation of Bihar from Bengal was a great historical feat as it freed the Hindi-speaking areas of Bengal from one layer of colonial and cultural subjugation and allowed for them a socio-political identity and space in the newly emerging national consciousness under the one geographical, economic, social and cultural entity called Bihar, then written as Behar. Key Words : Generation, Transition, Province, Consensuses, Subjection However, the movement for the creation of Readers of Bryce’s American Bihar was not an easy task for its leaders. Commonwealth are no doubt aware that In fact, those espousing the cause of Bihar there exists in the United States a strong were seen to be moving in the opposite state patriotism, which subsists side by direction of the clarion call for national side with federal patriotism.

  • Champaran: How Gandhi's Journalistic Traits And
    Vol. V, Issue 2 (December 2019) http://www.mzuhssjournal.in/ Champaran: How Gandhi’s Journalistic Traits and Communication Strategy Brought Justice to the Ryots Sambit Pal * Mrinal Chatterjee † Abstract Journalism had played a significant role in Gandhi’s graduation from Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi to the Mahatma. His philosophical journey and the shaping up of his thoughts and ideas while dealing with the British Raj and leading India’s movement for independence were reflected in his writings as a journalist. Since his days in South Africa, reporting from the battlefield of Boer War to editing his first journal Indian Opinion to shifting his base to India and taking up the editorship of Satyagraha, Navajivan, Young India and Harijan, Gandhi has shown how he used his journals and journalistic skills to give expression to his thoughts and philosophical viewpoints, drawing the attention of the authorities and common people building a strong public opinion. His writings for these journals and other publications also underline his ever-changing political and philosophical positions and how they ultimately shaped up ‘Gandhian thoughts’. When Gandhi reached India in 1915 from South Africa, he did not edit any journal for a couple of years. However, his visit to Bihar’s Champaran and organising Satyagraha with the indigo farmers can be seen through the prism of journalistic pursuits and robust communication strategy that Gandhi had practised all his life. Champaran Satyagraha is considered to be Gandhi’s launchpad in Indian politics and the first successful grassroots movement. Though Gandhi did not visit the remote villages in Bihar with any pure journalistic purpose, his inquiry into the plight of the indigo farmers as a political activist highlights the application of his brilliant communication skills and can be a model for a ground reporter.
