Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of those political and constitutional theories which mainly since 1919 had their impact on the constitutional evolution of India and Pakistan. The introductory chapter Begins with a brief account of the constitutional and political background. An attempt has been made to make a comparative analysis of the constitution- making processes of four countries: the U.S.A. and Prance, representing the democracies in the West; and Turkey and Japan, representing Asia. The second chapter is devoted to the constitutional discussions in India during the period 1919-1935. The third and fourth chapters analyse the constitutional and political ideas put forth by Hindu and Muslim thinkers. Although the Hindu and Muslim leaders concentrated on the ultimate goal of political freedom from British rule, this study considers in some detail to what extent there was coherent thinking on the system of government to be established in independent India and Pakistan* The fifth and sixth chapters deal with constitution-making in independent India and Pakistan. The final chapter tries to analyse the major influences which shaped constitution-making in both India and Pakistan.

These political ideastweue derived from European political philosophy and history. The colonists of the British Empire looked to the British Parliament as the supreme mode}.; and the quality of their own politics was regarded as improved, and the range of their liberties enlarged, by the extent to which they approximated to the model. The parliamentary system had been consistently proclaimed ■as their goal by the Westernised e^lite ever since the first Indian National Congress (1885) declared itself to be the fgerm of a Native Parliament^ English-educatednCongress leaders brought up on the works of English liberal thinkers, desired British political institutions which they deemed not incapable of transplantation on to Indian soil. 1 Prom our 1.

Englishmen have been our professors in Colleges. English history is taught us in our schools... It is impossible under this training not to be penetrated with English ideas? not to 1 acquire English conceptions of duty? of rights? of brotherhood'. But the Congress leaders in the early years were chiefly concerned with obtaining political favours for their own educated classes. A typical example of this attitude may be seen in the presidential address of Surendranath Banerjea at the Congress annual session in 1899* 'We should be satisfied'? said Banerjea? 'if we obtain representative institutions of a modified character for the .educated community who by reason of their culture and enlightenment? their assimilation of English ideas and their familiarity with English methods of 2 Government might be presumed to be qualified for such a boon.1 Though the ideal of Swaraj or self-government might be at the back of leaders' minds? there was no definite and clear voice yet calling upon the British to hand over power to Indians. Most Westernised elite still accepted British rule as a dispensation of Divine Providence? an inevitable phase through 3 which India was destined to pass. A 'microscopic minority' was to be the standard British epithet for the Indian educated 1. Report of the Thirteenth Indian National Congress, 1897? pp.15-6. 2.

A History of the Indian Nationalist Movement? p .42• 8 classes who led the Congress right into the twentieth century. This Microscopic minority* theory - the attitude of contempt for the emerging urban middle class - was expressed by John Beames, a civil servant, in a statement to the Aitchison Commission in .1886* Beames declared: 'In the course of my long experience I have constantly found natives deficient in courage, shirking responsibility, careless and indolent. Prom what I have seen of the large number of natives who have served under me during the last twenty-nine years, I do not think they possess the qualifications which fit them to be admitted to the Covenanted Civil Service.'*1' Whatever might be the racial factor/ involved in this cold attitude, the British rulers were convinced that 2 power could not be 'committed to indigenous # ■agency,! The Indian leaders, on the other hand, pleaded that 'the problem of bringing the administration into closer relations with the people is essentially a problem of associating the educated classes with the actual work of the administration. With village panchayats at the bottom, District Councils in the centre, and reformed Legislative Councils at the top, this problem will have been 3 fairly faced.' Lord Ripon, the Viceroy, who was responsible for the famous)fi Resolution on Local Self-G-overnment of May, 1882, attempted to open a channel for the aspirations of the emerging middle class by the encouragement of local self-government, by setting up municipalities with an elected element, and by creating district councils for the rural a$re&£» The new middle class 'must be prevented from becoming ... a source of serious 4 political danger.' Both Ripon and A.O. Hume, a retired civil 1.

The Ripon reforms were warmly welcomed by the politically active leaders of Indian society, like S.N. Banerjea, G-.K. Gokhale, B.G-o Tilak, Dadabhai Naoroji, Badruddin Tyabji, and Pherozeshah Mehta, who were believers in polifciis&l education of the electorate through participation in local politics and administration as 3 an approach towards national self-government. They made a reality of the municipal government, but the great mass of the people had nothing to do with the political experience which was confined to the few, and continued to have an authoritarian concept of government. The Decentralisation Commission of 1909, which has been called 1 the watershed in the history of Indian local government91^ made recommendations similar to those of the Resolution of 1882. While they considered the pros and cons of centralisation and'decentralisation, but mainly conceived in terms of administrative convenience, rather than of national political aspirations. The commission suggested that 'the foundation of any stable edifice which shall associate 5 the people with the administration must be the village*1 1.

Josephus As Political Philosopher: His Concept Of Kingship Abstract Scholars who have discussed Josephus’ political philosophy have largely focused on his concepts of aristokratia or theokratia. In general, they have ignored his concept of kingship. Those that have commented on it tend to dismiss Josephus as anti-monarchical and ascribe this to the biblical anti- monarchical tradition. To date, Josephus’ concept of kingship has not been treated as a significant component of his political philosophy. Through a close reading of Josephus’ longest text, the Jewish Antiquities, a historical work that provides extensive accounts of kings and kingship, I show that Josephus had a fully developed theory of monarchical government that drew on biblical and Greco- Roman models of kingship. Josephus held that ideal kingship was the responsible use of the personal power of one individual to advance the interests of the governed and maintain his and his subjects’ loyalty to Yahweh. The king relied primarily on a standard array of classical virtues to preserve social order in the kingdom, protect it from external threats, maintain his subjects’ quality of life, and provide them with a model for proper moral conduct.

  • Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India
    Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India Gyanendra Pandey CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Remembering Partition Violence, Nationalism and History in India Through an investigation of the violence that marked the partition of British India in 1947, this book analyses questions of history and mem- ory, the nationalisation of populations and their pasts, and the ways in which violent events are remembered (or forgotten) in order to en- sure the unity of the collective subject – community or nation. Stressing the continuous entanglement of ‘event’ and ‘interpretation’, the author emphasises both the enormity of the violence of 1947 and its shifting meanings and contours. The book provides a sustained critique of the procedures of history-writing and nationalist myth-making on the ques- tion of violence, and examines how local forms of sociality are consti- tuted and reconstituted by the experience and representation of violent events. It concludes with a comment on the different kinds of political community that may still be imagined even in the wake of Partition and events like it. GYANENDRA PANDEY is Professor of Anthropology and History at Johns Hopkins University. He was a founder member of the Subaltern Studies group and is the author of many publications including The Con- struction of Communalism in Colonial North India (1990) and, as editor, Hindus and Others: the Question of Identity in India Today (1993).

  • Dadabhai Naoroji: a Reformer of the British Empire Between Bombay and Westminster
    Imperial Portaits Dadabhai Naoroji: A reformer of the British empire between Bombay and Westminster Teresa SEGURA-GARCIA ABSTRACT From the closing decades of the nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, Dadabhai Naoroji (1825‒1917) was India’s foremost intellectual celebrity — by the end of his career, he was known as ‘the Grand Old Man of India’. He spent most his life moving between western India and England in various capacities — as social reformer, academic, businessman, and politician. His life’s work was the redress of the inequalities of imperialism through political activism in London, at the heart of the British empire, where colonial policy was formulated. This project brought him to Westminster, where he became Britain’s first Indian member of parliament (MP). As a Liberal Party MP, he represented the constituency of Central Finsbury, London, from 1892 to 1895. Above all, he used the political structures, concepts, and language of the British empire to reshape it from within and, in this way, improve India’s political destiny. Dadabhai Naoroji, 1889. Naoroji wears a phenta, the distinctive conical hat of the Parsis. While he initially wore it in London, he largely abandoned it after 1886. This sartorial change was linked to his first attempt to reach Westminster, as one of his British collaborators advised him to switch to European hats. He ignored this advice: he mostly opted for an uncovered head, thus rejecting the colonial binary of the rulers versus the ruled. Source : National Portrait Gallery.
