    Women on Fire: Sati, Consent, and the Revolutionary Subject

    ,%-.%/& 0121 Women on Fire: Immolation, Consent, and the Revolutionary Subject Sisters-in-Arms On September 23, 1932, Pritilata Waddedar, a twenty-year-old schoolteacher and member of the Indian Republican Army (&31),¹ became the first woman to die in the commission of an anticolonial attack when she committed suicide after leading a raid on the Pahartali Railway Institute in Chittagong. Police found Waddedar’s body outside the club, dressed in men’s clothes and with no visible injuries, and discovered, tucked into her shirt, several pamphlets of her own writing, including “Long Live Revolution” and “An Appeal to Women.” In the latter, she had written, “Women to day have taken the firm resolution that they will not remain in the background. For the freedom of their motherland they are willing to stand side by side with their brothers in every action however hard or fearful it may be. To offer proof I have taken upon myself the leadership of this expedition to be launched today” (122).² Her body, spectacularly still outside the site of her attack, offers proof of another order. Of what it offers proof, the modes of reading and memorialization it invites, and the afterlives of that body and its articu- lations constitute the terms of a colonial and postcolonial struggle over Volume 24, Number 3 $%& 10.1215/10407391-2391959 © 2014 by Brown University and differences : A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies 64 Women on Fire meaning making. At the time, Waddedar’s dead body took on a kind of evidentiary status in the prosecution of her comrades, a colonial assertion of authority in the courtroom—a prophecy, perhaps, of the ways in which it would come again to be, decades later, the disputed object of historical narrative.

  • Independence Day

    Independence Day

    INDEPENDENCE DAY ‘Swaraj is my Birthright and I shall have it’- Bal Gangadhar Tilak India celebrates its Independence Day on 15th August every year. Independence Day reminds us of all the sacrifices that were made by our freedom fighters to make India free from British rule. On 15th August 1947, India was declared independent from British colonialism and became the largest democracy in the world. "Tryst with Destiny" was an English-language speech delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, to the Indian Constituent Assembly in the Parliament, on the eve of India's Independence, towards midnight on 14 August 1947. The speech spoke on the aspects that transcended Indian history. It is considered to be one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century and to be a landmark oration that captures the essence of the triumphant culmination of the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule in India. The Indian independence movement was a series of historic events with the ultimate aim of ending British rule in India. The movement spanned from 1857 to 1947. The first nationalistic revolutionary movement for Indian independence emerged from Bengal. It later took root in the newly formed Indian National Congress with prominent moderate leaders seeking only their fundamental right to appear for Indian Civil Service examinations in British India, as well as more rights (economical in nature) for the people of the soil. The early part of the 20th century saw a more radical approach towards political self-rule proposed by leaders such as the Lal Bal Pal triumvirate, Aurobindo Ghosh and V.
  • Women and Indian Nationalism

    Women and Indian Nationalism

    Women and Indian Nationalism Leela Kasturi and Vina Mazumdar I The political role of women as a subject for research is of recent origin in India. 1 It is significant that there are so few studies of women's role in the nationalist movement or of the implications- social or political-of their momentous entry into the public sphere. Important works on the national movement mostly fail to examine the significance of women's participation in the struggles. 2 Analysis in this area so far has received insufficient attention in histories of India both before and after 1975 when the need to study women's role in history began to be acknowledged world-wide. One searches in vain for an adequate study of women's participation in nationalist historiography. 3 Studies published between 1968 and 1988 do touch upon various aspects and dimensions of women's participation in the national struggle for freedom. There are some factual accounts: most standard histories of the national movement mention women's entry into the Civil Disobedience Movement. 4 Some historians have noted the emancipatory effects of such participation. 5 Women in revolutionary terrorism have also been described 6 and women have been occasionally discussed as a political nuisance. 7 Some accounts of contemporaries who participated in the movement refer to the strength and broad base acquired by it as a whole through women's participation. 8 It is important to note that in general, information on women in the work of modern Indian historians writing in English prior to 1975 relates to women in elite sections of society.
