Introduction The Invention of an Ethnic Nationalism he Hindu nationalist movement started to monopolize the front pages of Indian newspapers in the 1990s when the political T party that represented it in the political arena, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP—which translates roughly as Indian People’s Party), rose to power. From 2 seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian parliament, the BJP increased its tally to 88 in 1989, 120 in 1991, 161 in 1996—at which time it became the largest party in that assembly—and to 178 in 1998. At that point it was in a position to form a coalition government, an achievement it repeated after the 1999 mid-term elections. For the first time in Indian history, Hindu nationalism had managed to take over power. The BJP and its allies remained in office for five full years, until 2004. The general public discovered Hindu nationalism in operation over these years. But it had of course already been active in Indian politics and society for decades; in fact, this ism is one of the oldest ideological streams in India. It took concrete shape in the 1920s and even harks back to more nascent shapes in the nineteenth century. As a movement, too, Hindu nationalism is heir to a long tradition. Its main incarnation today, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS—or the National Volunteer Corps), was founded in 1925, soon after the first Indian communist party, and before the first Indian socialist party.

  • 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.

  • Lokamanya Tilak G
    LOKAMANYA TILAK G. P. PRADHAN Foreword 1. Student and Teacher 2. Dedicated Journalist and Radical Nationalist 3. Four-Point Programme for Swarajya 4. An Ordeal 5. Broad-Based Political Movement 6. Scholar and Unique Leader Index Foreword The conquest of a nation by an alien power does not mean merely the loss of political freedom; it means the loss of one’s self-confidence too. Due to economic exploitation by the ruling power, the conquered nation is deprived of its natural resources and the people lose their sense of self-respect. Slavery leads to moral degradation and it thus becomes essential to restore self-confidence in the people so that they become fearless enough to participate in the struggle for freedom. In this respect Tilak played a pioneering role in India’s freedom struggle. For nearly four decades, he directed his energies to the task of creating the consciousness in the people that swarajya was their birthright. As editor of the Kesafy he opposed the tyrannical British rule and raised his voice against the injustices perpetrated on the Indians. With Chhatrapati Shivaji as his perennial source of inspiration, Tilak appealed to the people to emulate the great Maratha warrior and revive the glorious past. During the famine of 1896, Tilak made a fervent plea that the government must provide relief to the peasants, as stipulated in the Famine Relief Code. When Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India, partitioned Bengal, the people of Bengal were enraged. Tilak, alongwith Lala Lajpat Rai and Bipin Chandra Pal, made the issue of partition a national cause and appealed to the people to assert their rights.

    Title Transnational Ghadr Movement : A Diasporic Dimension Author(s) BHATTE, Pallavi Citation 歴史文化社会論講座紀要 (2013), 10: 157-173 Issue Date 2013-02 URL http://hdl.handle.net/2433/171640 Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University Transnational Ghadr Movement 157 Transnational Ghadr Movement: A Diasporic Dimension Pallavi BHATTE Introduction The narratives of India’s national struggle for independence focus mainly on the mainstream internal efforts of natives of the subcontinent. Indian scholars have largely reiterated the role of revolutionaries in foreign lands, however, with an India-centric dialogue. While they do broadly accommodate the role played by Indian freedom fighters beyond the boundaries of British India, they do perhaps tend to be partial and limited. Indeed, inclusive in the narratives is an international arena serving as a backdrop to plot the multiple locations on a global map where actors championed their anti-colonial cause. Moreover, probably not surprisingly, although this viewpoint explains the extensive reach of the independence movement as a whole it is inconsiderate in incorporating the transnational dimension. Specifically scholarship of the Ghadr movement is a classic example that has fallen prey to such marginality. Almost every piece of work on Indian revolutionaries away from their ancestral home discusses the Ghadr movement in the US, the conspiracy theory of the Indo-German collaboration, or the radical Indo-Irish connections on American soil. Some Indian works provide compelling evidential source of foundation for tracing the Indian revolutionary movement beyond Indian boundaries. １） They have underplayed the diasporic contribution toward the independence movement, by treating actors as mere Indian expatriates who had left Indian shores rather than viewing them as a part of a proactive community in their adopted homes.

  • CONCLUSION Sardar Bhagat Singh Was Not Only a Great Revolutionary
    163 CONCLUSION Sardar Bhagat Singh was not only a great revolutionary but a great political thinker also. He has discussed the problem of revolution in a colonial society through a new perspective. In the present dissertation a modest attempt is made in under­ standing the ideas of Bhagat Singh on national revolution in a colonial society, Bhagat Singh was a unique revolutionary in the sense that the early terrorists like chaphekars were moved by the religious considerations and even great revolutionaries like Savarkar, Shyamji Krishna Varma and Bagha Jatin were inspired by spiritual nationalism. They did not have the clear vision of the j^uture. But Bhagat Singh had clearly visualised the vision of future and understood the theory of socialist revolution. t In the first chapter of the dissertation the basic colonial character of British rule and its harmful impact on the lives of the Indian people# which continuously developed India's colonial dependence and under development which led to the rise and development of powerful anti-imperialist movement in India is studied through historical perspective. The continuous resistence to the British rule wholly traditional in nature# from the very inception of the rule took three broad 164 forms : (1) Civil rebellion, (2) Tribal uprisings, and (3) Peasant movements and uprisings* But a powerful national struggle against British imperialism developed in India during the second half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century. Prom the beginning of the 1890* s opposition began to develop against the Congress leadership, its organization and the ideas which it represented.
