Comprehend the contributory factors to the writing of historiography of the Indian National Movement. Explain the search for national identity. Grasp the imperialist attack on Indian culture and civilization. Know the content of the nationalist historiography. Summarize the writings of some eminent nationalist historians. 1.1 INTRODUCTION Historiography means the history of historical writing or the art of writing history. It is the history of history. Historiography tells us the story of successive stages in the evolution of historical writings. It includes the evolution of the ideas and techniques associated with the writing of history and changing attitudes 5 towards the nature of history itself. Eventually it includes the study of the development of man’s senses for the past. There are differences in the nature, quality and quantity of historical literature in different ages and different people. These differences represented the changes in social life, beliefs in society, the presence or absence of the sense of history. The pace of change is greater ever since the study of the past came increasingly under the influence of various ideas. Thus Historiography is trying to trace these changes through the centuries. Arthur Marwick says that history is the historian’s reconstruction of the past whereas the historiography is neither only theory nor only practice but it is the real history of historical thoughts. History writing began due to the early compositions of the ancient Greeks and the Chinese which faced several difficulties and uncertainty due to absence of chronology and method of criticism even then this crude beginning of history writing has made a tremendous progress. It is pertinent to trace how the history writing of Indian National Movement came into existence. What were the problems and how they were solved, are surveyed in the foregoing description, analysis and a detail account them is given. Although the history of India is very old and rich, the Indian historiography is comparatively of recent origin. During the nineteenth century, emergence of new research

  • Role of Women in the Quit India Movement Anil Chauhan
    P: ISSN NO.: 2394-0344 RNI No.UPBIL/2016/67980 VOL-4* ISSUE-1* (Part-1) April- 2019 E: ISSN NO.: 2455-0817 Remarking An Analisation Role of Women in The Quit India Movement Abstract The present work is an attempt to evaluate the role of women in the Quit India Movement 1942. Women, from time immemorial, have eagerly taken part in political, social and cultural affairs as and when they were required to do so. They as a force played a very crucial role in the India’s freedom struggle. The Quit India Movement of 1942, which was a spontaneous mass uprising witnessed the women at its fore front. During this movement, the women activists challenged the norms that obsessed an earlier generation of women leaders to fulfil their roles as the freedom fighters. Women during this movement boldly led processions, picketed liquor shops and fearlessly faced the British Raj’s repressions without fearing about their personal well-being.Thus,the brave Women of India created history by making their contribution in the efforts leading to the freedom of their mother land. Keywords: Evaluate Women, Quit India, Movement, Crucial, Freedom Struggle, Spontaneous, Mass Uprising Introduction Mahatma Gandhi once said "When the history of India's fight for independence comes to be written, the sacrifice made by the women of India will occupy the foremost place.". More than 77 years have passed since Quit India Movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi on the 8th of August in 1942 at the All-India Congress Committee session in Bombay. On the very next day, Gandhiji, Jawaharlal Nehru and many other leaders of the Indian National Congress Anil Chauhan were arrested by the British Government.

Caste is hostile to individual and collective freedom. In recent years, there have been new attempts to understand the socio-economic conditions of the life of SCs/STs and dalit peoples and household in India. The SCs/STs, and Dalits throughout the country occupy the lowest rank in the caste hierarchy. They are landless agricultural and casual labourers. They are mostly engaged in menial jobs which adds to lower their social and ritual status further and still being suppressed and oppressed in different forms of social, economic and political spheres in many parts of the country.

College for women, Dabwali WOMEN'S STRUGGLE IN QUIT INDIA MOVEMENT We are the Independent citizens of Independent India. We got this freedom because of thousands of known and unknown Indians who sacrificed their lives smilingly to get this freedom. In this struggle not only men came forward, but women also forsook the shelter of their homes and with unfailing courage and endurance stood shoulder to shoulder with their menfolk in the frontline of India’s freedom fighters to share with them the sacrifices and triumphs of the struggle. We have heard the name of Rani Laxmi Bai who faced Britishers with exceptional bravery during 1857 freedom revolt but few know about the courageous stories of females contribution during ‘Quit India Movement’. When the Second World War broke out, India was committed to belligerency by the British without any consideration for the feelings of Indians or any assurance of Indian Self-Government. In, protest the congress ministers in the provinces resigned and Gandhiji commenced Individual Satyagraha to express the country's disgust. When the pressure of war mounted, particularly with the advances of Japan in South East Asia, Britain became anxious to secure the full and active co-operation of India in the war efforts. The Cripps Missions came with a promise of dominion status and a plan for future constitutional developments.

  • Quit India: the Historic Mass Movement for Independence
    International Journal of Applied Social Science REVIEW ARTICLE Volume 1 (1), Oct. (2014) : 13-17 ISSN : 2394-1405 Received : 03.09.2014; Accepted : 17.09.2014 Quit India: The Historic Mass Movement for Independence AJAY KR. UPADHYAY Department of Political Science, S.D. (P.G.) College, Ghaziabad (U.P.) India ABSTRACT The Quit India Movement (Bharat Chhodo Andolan) was a spontaneous mass upheaval in the history of India’s struggle for Independence. It was the next major milestone after the Salt Satyagraha. The success and failures of the Movement are debated. But, the great significance of this historic movement was that it placed the demand for independence on the immediate agenda of the national movement. Key Words : Do or Die Mantra, Civil Disobedience Movement, Quit India Resolution INTRODUCTION The Quit India Movement, also known as the August Movement was a Civil Disobedience Movement launched by Gandhi for Satyagraha (independence).Its aim was to bring the British government to the negotiating table through determined, but passive resistance. This historical movement played out in the backdrop of World War II. The British government entered India in the war unilaterally and without consultation with the Indian people. 1939 saw the outbreak of World War II, following which Britain went to war with Germany. Since India was an important part of the British Empire, India also became part of the war. On 10th October 1939 the Congress Working Committee (CWC) declared their unhappiness regarding the hostile activities taking place in Germany and announced that India refused to be a part of the war because it was against fascism.
