Mani Bhavan was the nerve centre in the city of Bombay (now Mumbai) for Gandhiji’s activities and movements. It was from here that Gandhiji launched the first nationwide satyagraha of Rowlett Act, started Khilafat and Non-operation movements. Today it stands as a memorial to Gandhiji’s life and teachings. _______ The most distinguished address in a quiet locality of Gamdevi in Mumbai is the historic building, Mani Bhavan - the house where Gandhiji stayed whenever he was in Mumbai from 1917 to 1934. Mani Bhavan belonged to Gandhiji’s friend Revashankar Jhaveri who was a jeweller by profession and elder brother of Dr Pranjivandas Mehta - Gandhiji’s friend from his student days in England. Gandhiji and Revashankarbhai shared the ideology of non-violence, truth and satyagraha and this was the bond of their empathetic friendship. Gandhiji respected Revashankarbhai as his elder brother as a result the latter was ever too happy to Volume 1 : Issue 07, November 2020 1 : Issue 07, November Volume host him at his house.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is essentially an analysis of British attitudes towards Indian nationalism between 1922 and 1935. It rests upon the argument that attitudes created paradigms of perception which condi­ tioned responses to events and situations and thus helped to shape the contours of British policy in India. Although resistant to change, attitudes could be and were altered and the consequent para­ digm shift facilitated political change. Books, pamphlets, periodicals, newspapers, private papers of individuals, official records, and the records of some interest groups have been examined to re-create, as far as possible, the structure of beliefs and opinions that existed in Britain with re­ gard to Indian nationalism and its more concrete manifestations, and to discover the social, political, economic and intellectual roots of the beliefs and opinions.

  • Indian Leaders on Tibet.Pmd
    C. Rajagopalachari, the last Governor-General of India, on Tibet Brutal Colonialism in Tibet IT is difficult to find suitable words to express the sympathy that I feel in respect of this movement - of what I may call in a different sense - a movement for the liberation of Tibet. The issue of Tibet is not a question of legalistic exploration as to the sovereignty of Tibet but a question of human rights which must be decided on the plane of justice and humanity and not on the basis of any legal puzzle. Sovereignty and Suzerainty are terms which have varied from time to time in respect of their content. Whatever legal jargon might have been used from time to time, in respect of the relation between Tibet and China, in particular, and the outer world, in general, no one can doubt the fact that Tibetan people have a right to rule themselves. His Holiness the Dalai Lama in his message had made things quite clear and pointed out how even on a legalistic plane there can be no doubt about the rights of the Tibetan people to rule themselves irrespective of any belonging to other nationalities. This invasion of Tibet which terminated in His Holiness taking refuge in Indian territory is brutal colonialism. There can, therefore, be no second thoughts in the matter. All Indian people wants Tibet to be released from the grip of China. 1 Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the first President of Indian Republic, on Tibet (Excerpts from his last public speech, Gandhi Maidan, Patna, 24 October, 1962.)

Gandhiji intervened in 1917 and brought freshness to the rebel and revolt and forced the British Administration to improve the condition substantially. The Government of India left perturbed at Gandhiji presence in Champaran and the possibilities of a Satyagraha struggle developing in the indigo farmers in Bihar. Obviously he was referring to satyagraha. Dhanagre third point was about Gandhiji receiving support form better off section and the middle peasants who had vested interest. The Satyagraha in Champaran had already begun. Gandhiji had taken decision. The truth on the ground had to be ascertained and if he was stopped he should resist and go to jail if necessary and that his associates should continue the search for truth. This is what he shared with his new colleagues in Muzaffarpur and all proceeded to Motihari, the headquarters of Champaran district. The path of non-violence was not a bed of roses in order to traverse it Gandhi had to face numerous hardships and from back.

  • Surya Narayan Misra* Mahatma Gandhi: a Sesquicentennial Birthday Tribute
    Articles Surya Narayan Misra* Mahatma Gandhi: A Sesquicentennial Birthday Tribute Abstract Mahatma Gandhi has left his heritage of spiritual force; the influence which emanated from his personality was ineffable, like music, like beauty its claim upon others was great because of its revelation of a spontaneous self-giving. Suffice to say, he never belonged to his age. He was rather a link between the past and future, and the philosopher for the 21st century. In fact, in 2007 the United Nations has rightly decided to observe October 2nd (Gandhi’s Birthday) as the Day of Non-violence. As a tribute, especially in 2019 as his birth centennial year, we must recall the saintly man, who preached non-violence, and his ideals that are potential to address many of our contemporary concerns. Key words: Mahatma Gandhi, Non-violence, Ahimsa, Satyagrah, world peace, truth. Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi was born on 2nd October 1869. We are celebrating his 150th birth date in 2019. Being a world statesman, he was not confined to the territorial boundary of India. His political guru was Gopal Krishna Gokhale who said about him: “He was a man among men, a hero among heroes, a patriot among patriots and we may well say that in him Indian humanity at the present time has really reached its high Water-market.” Mohan became Mahatma by his words and action. He was unlike Kautilya and western philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli who opines ‘end justify means’. Rather, Gandhi did not locale any difference between the means and end. Viswakabi Rabindranath Tagore was older to him.

  • Swaraj Party
    Swaraj Party Program: B.A. Honours Subject: History Paper: VII Dr. Deepti Tiwari Assistant Professor H.O.D., Department of History, Magadh Mahila College,Patna University [email protected] 9451545311 1 The Swaraj Party or the Congress-Khilafat Swarajya Party was formed on 1 January 1923 by C R Das and Motilal Nehru. The formation of the Swaraj Party came after various significant events like the withdrawal of non-cooperation movement, the government of India act 1919 and 1923 elections. The formation of this party is an important chapter in Modern Indian History. The party’s name is taken from the term swaraj, meaning “self-rule,” which was broadly applied to the movement to gain independence from British rule. Background Under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi the Congress emerged as a great nationalist forum of all shades and opinions voicing anti-imperialist sentiments. During Gandhi's Non Cooperation movement (1920-22), its roots spread out among all classes of people. The formal acceptance of Swaraj as the goal of the Congress really converted Noncooperation into a mass movement. Gandhi's catchy slogan ‘Swaraj in one year’ stirred the masses of men into action. The suspension of Non-Cooperation in February, 1922 created widespread disappointment and precipitated an open division in the leadership of the Congress. The Government took advantage of the situation to take resort to a policy of repression. The upper middle class intellectuals looked at politics from the plane of reality, and were keen to rescue the Congress and its politics from the demoralisation that had set in after the withdrawal of Non-Cooperation.
