  • Geoff Dyer Now We Can
    Arriving at Indira Gandhi International Airport in 2006, I was confronted by an unusually impressive advertisement. It featured a big and grainy black-and-white photograph of the tabla player Zakir Hussain and his dad Ustad Alla Rakha in concert, some time in the mid 1980s, I guessed. Zakir’s dad is reaching over and patting his son’s head, ruffling his hair as if to congratulate the puppy on having barked with such enthusiastic promise. But, with this loving gesture, the pre-eminent tabla player of one generation – in the famous Concert for Bangladesh it’s the grinning Alla Rakha we see accompanying Ravi Shankar on sitar and Ali Akbar Khan on sarod – is also passing on the musical baton to the man Bill Laswell will later describe as ‘the greatest rhythm player that this planet has ever produced’.1 Quite a claim! NOW WE CAN SEE The picture turned out to be by Dayanita Singh, who, in one of the little GEOFF DYER home-made-looking photographic journals from the box set Sent a Letter (Steidl, 2008), has constructed a tribute to her mum: a passing back of something that was never quite a baton. The other six books in the set take their names from places in India – ‘Calcutta’, ‘Bombay’ and so on – whereas this one, with its slightly darker cover, is named after Dayanita’s mother, Nony Singh. It’s made up of either pictures Nony took or of ones she – Nony – found in her husband’s cupboard. There are quite a few pictures of a little girl with a determined little pout or frowning smile who is clearly Dayanita.

  • Salt Satyagraha the Watershed

The British rulers scoffed at the very idea of the Salt March. A favourite saying in the barracks was: "Let them make all the salt they want and eat it too. The Empire will not move an inch." But as the Salt Satyagraha movement reached every town and village and millions of people rose in open rebellion, the Empire began to shake. Gandhi stood like a giant in command of the political storm. It was not however only a political storm. It was a moral and cultural storm that rose from the inmost depths of the soul of India. The power of non-violence came like a great sunrise of history. ... It was clear as crystal that British rule must give way before the rising tide of the will of the people. For me and perhaps for innumerable others also this was at the same time the discovery of Gandhi and our determination to follow him whatever the cost.

    An Illustrious Life 1 2 Pt. Motilal Nehru 1 An Illustrious Life here are few in this country who have not heard of Jawaharlal Nehru. Motilal was his father and Swarup TRani his mother. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit who was India’s High Commissioner in England and ambassador in America and Mrs. Krishna Huthisingh the famous writer were the two daughters of Motilal. And Jawaharlal’s daughter was Mrs. Indira Gandhi, a former Prime Minister of India. Thus every one in the Nehru family attained fames. A boyhood of poverty. In later life wealth, luxury and pomp as those Princes could not match. An honoured guest of the Emperor. And then, in later life, a great leader of India’s fight for freedom. Motilal went to prison, too. His son was Jawaharlal Nehru. His grand daughter was Shrimati Indira Gandhi. The Family As Motilal has proven to have been the head of a dynasty, which would rule India for four decades, it is important to mention what we learned about him during that period. Of course, the interest of young Indians at that time was more to know about the man who was the father of the charming and charismatic leader, Jawaharlal Nehru. An Illustrious Life 3 Motilal Nehru, a rich Kashmiri Brahmin, was quite Westernised. He socialised with English friends, sent his children to Christian missionary schools, and engaged European tutors to provide his children with a head start in education. Although he believed in the old Hindu tradition that the Brahmins had a divine right to education he did not limit his children’s education to Vedic teachings.

Except in a few cases, such authoritative biographies have not been available. The biographies are planned as handy volumes written by knowledgeable people and giving a brief account, in simple words, of the life and activities of the eminent leaders and of their times. They are not intended either to be comprehensive studies or to replace the more elaborate biographies. The work of writing these lives has to be entrusted to different people. It has, therefore, not been possible to publish the bio- graphies in a chronological order. It is hoped, however, that within a short period all eminent national personalities will figure in this series. Sri R. R. Diwakar is the General Editor of the series.
