ANJANA Research Scholar of History, University of Kerala, India Abstract Modern Travancore witnessed strong protests for civic amenities and representation in legislatures through the Civic Rights movement and Abstention movement during 1920s and early part of 1930s. Government was forced to concede reforms of far reaching nature by which representations were given to many communities in the election of 1937 and for recruitment a public service commission was constituted. But the 1937 election and the constitution of the Public Service Commission did not solve the question of adequate representation. A new struggle was started for the attainment of responsible government in Travancore which was even though led in peaceful means in the beginning, assumed extremist nature with the involvement of youthful section of the society. The participants of the struggle from the beginning to end directed their energies against a single individual, the Travancore Dewan Sir. C. P. Ramaswamy Iyer who has been considered as an autocrat and a blood thirsty tyrant On the other side the policies of the Dewan intensified the issues rather than solving it. His policy was dividing and rule, using the internal social divisions existed in Travancore to his own advantage. Keywords: civic amenities, Civic Rights, Public Service Commission, Travancore, Civil Liberties Union, State Congress In Travancore the demand for responsible government was not a new development.

    Vol. 5 No. 3 January 2018 ISSN: 2321-788X UGC Approval No: 43960 Impact Factor: 2.114 CONFLICT BETWEEN HOME RULE LEAGUE AND NON-BRAHMIN MOVEMENT Article Particulars: Received: 24.11.2017 Accepted: 11.12.2018 Published: 20.01.2018 E.SELVAMANI, M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D.Research Scholar (Full – Time), PG & Research Department of History Government Arts College for Men, Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract The Birth of the Home Rule Movement synchronised with the consolidation of non-Brahmin Movement. In fact the catalyst which triggered the formation the formation of non-Brahmin political organisation was the emergence of the Home Rule League of Annie Besant on 25th September 1915.1 The associates of Annie Besant were all Brahmins and her views were derived from the Brahmin influenced works of Puranas, Manu Code, the epics, hindu heros and Festivals of Hinduism.2 These views were strongly ridiculed and their credibility was questioned by the well versed non-Brahmins. Thus the development of the Home Rule Movement and its counterpart Dravidian ideology created a new dimension in the politics of the state of Madras and was pushed into the Fore-Front of hat political wave. As a matter of fact, the arrival of Annie Besant put an end to the factional fight and internal feud in Tamil Nadu Congress. And her definite campaign for Home Rule demand confronted the British with the most serious and largest movement among the dissidence of Tamil Nadu. To check the possible Brahmin domination through the Home Rule agitation, the non-Brahmins stood firmly against the transfer of power from the British to Brahmin overlordship or Brahmin oligarchy.3 Keywords: Home Rule Movement, non-Brahmin Movement, Annie Besant, Manu Code, Tamil Nadu Congress, Justice Party Non-Brahmin Manifesto The prominent non-Brahmin leaders like T.M.

George Joseph More Yale University School of Medicine, Section of the History of Medicine, P. O. Box Permalink 200779, New Haven, Connecticut 06520-0779, USA, [email protected] ABSTRACT The early history of the Mission to Lepers in India is an interplay between politics, religion, and medicine in the context of British imperialism. The Mission pursued the dual but inseparable goals of evangelization and civilization, advancing not only a religious program but also a political and cultural one. These activities and their consequences were multi-faceted because while the missionaries pursued their religious calling, they also provided medical care to people and in places that the colonial government was unable or unwilling. Within the context of the British imperial program, the work imparted Western social and cultural ideals on the colonial populations they served, inculcated patients with Christian beliefs, and provided medical care to individuals who had been expelled from their own communities. Physical healing was intimately tied to religious salvation, spiritual healing, and the civilizing process.

  • The First Human Rights Agitation in India Led by Thanthai Periyar UNTOUCHABILITY
    The First Human Rights Agitation In India Led by Thanthai Periyar UNTOUCHABILITY (History of Vaikom agitation) (Speech delivered by Periyar in Kanyakumari District, on 25th and 26th Dec.1958 (Vide: ‘Viduthalai’ 8 & 9.1.1959) Respectful President, Ladies and Gentlemen, I was extended an invitation to come over to the Kanyakumari District many times by your comrades. As I was busily touring in the other districts, I could not come earlier. Wherever I toured, I found a great awakening. People gathered in thousands. Ten years ago I addressed a meeting here in Marthandam. In those days you were citizens of a State. You were ruled by a Rajah. Whereas we were citizens of the British Government. Yet we are all ‘Sudras’. We Dravidians were subjected to humiliation. It was the outcome of the hoax played on us. We continue to be ‘Sudras’. Today, we are citizens of one country. We are Tamilians of Tamilnadu. We are today brought together. Our unity is strengthened. We are today linked as one family because we are all now citizens of one country. We have to work together for achieving our ideals as we are all classified under one caste. So far as I am concerned, even before 35 years ago, I lead the agitation in Tamilnad to eradicate the social evils particularly the hateful ‘untouchability’. For over thousand years we were not allowed to enter some of the public roads. Those who are now aged at least 50 years may recollect those days. Youngsters of this generation may not know these things of the past.
