SINGARAM Ph.D – Research Scholar (Full Time) Department of History, Annamalai University Annamalainagar, Tamilnadu, India Abstract: The Second World War started in 1939 which dragged Indians into it. As it was bilaterally decided the Indian National Congress decided to oppose India’s involvement in the war. As it was war period Gandhi decided to limit the participation of the masses who in turn propagate against the war efforts of British. Opposing the war efforts of the British speeches, rallies and door to door propaganda were organized across the country including Salem region in Tamil Nadu. During 1940 – 1941 the region was politically activated through the participation was limited. The Madras Presidency government reacted against the individual based protests and it was trying to suppress the political sentiments of the people of the region. Keywords: Second World War, Indian National Congress, Gandhi, Launching of Satyagraha, Satyagraha Committees, Anti-war speeches, rallies, etc., British’s attempt of counter the Satyagraha. In 1939, the Second World War began. Lord Linlinthgow, the then Governor General of India proclaimed India's involvement in the war without the consent of the Indian leaders. As a mark of protest, the Indian National Congress announced the Individual Satyagraha (individual based civil resistance movement) in 1940. This was to propagate against rendering any help to the British in connection with the Second World War. As the period was critical, Gandhi did not encourage mass participation, but wished only for the participation of a few selected individuals. The Individual Satyagraha spread throughout India and also gained momentum in Salem region. In September 1940, the All India Congress Committee decided to launch a Satyagraha in a limited base to oppose the British government’s decision of involving India into the Second World War and to insist the rights of Indians to the freedom of speech. On 17 October 1940, Vinoba Bhave launched the Individual Satyagraha by objecting the Second Workd War efforts and claiming individuals’ right to freedom of speech1. This marked for the initiation of the satyagraha which had its repercussion all over the country including the Salem region. By September 1940, the Congress leaders in Salem region, endeavored much for the publicity as well as formation of the Individual Satyagraha committees. The Salem District Congress Committee instructed the Taluk, Town and Village Congress Committees to prepare lists of satyagrahis.2 The Committee instructed that those who were aspiring to take part in the Volume IX, Issue IX, SEPTEMBER/2020 Page No : 939 Mukt Shabd Journal ISSN NO : 2347-3150 individual satyagraha must get prior permission from the Indian National Congress. Further, it advertised that Gandhi was very serious the selection process must be very prompt and that only eligible individuals capable of offering satyagraha must be only in the list.3 The District Congress Committee, Salem, personally contacted local leaders as well-as heads of the Village, Town and Taluk Congress Committees and exhorted them to prepare the lists of satyagrahis to offer satyagraha. Leading Congress men of the time C. Rjagopalachari, Arumuga Mudaliar of Gugai, Natesa Chettiar of Attur, Nagaraja Iyengar of Rasipuram, Ragunatha Chettiar of Illampillai, Perumal Chettiar of Kumarapalayam and the others strained much for mobilizing mass support as well as finalizing the list of individuals. Congressmen had been active in forming themselves into Satyagraha Committees, in collecting signature to the pledge, and in holding meetings to popularize the idea of a civil disobedience movement and to encourage volunteers. Orthodox Congress organizations had shown little enthusiasm. Congress Committee continued to translate themselves into Satyagraha Committees. The response to signing the pledge was encouraging and were ever poor the extension of time granted. One Taluk Committtee had to dissolve as only one member was willing to take the pledge. The number of Committees of which all the members have signed must be very small. The Congress continued to origanizing training camps and collect volunteers.4 For the purpose they had organized meetings, processions and door-to-door propaganda. The District Congress Committee prepared a list containing about 700 satyagrahis who were capable of offering satyagraha. The finalized was sent to Congress high command for approval.5 C. Rajagopalachari, member of the Congress working Committee and former Prime Minister of the Madras Presidency had the privilege of offering satyagraha at first.6 He offered satyagraha at Salem on 8 November, 1940, by expressing his anger against the British's war efforts. Extract of the speech is given below: "As the British is waging war essentially for its own imperialist ends and for the preservation and strengthening of its own empire, we the Indians never render the British either men or money."7 C. Rajagopalachari was arrested and sentenced to imprisonment under the Defence of India Rules.8 Followed by C. Rajagopalachari, prominent land owing and commercial classes were arrested. Nachiyappa Gounder of Salem was arrested for distributing anti-war pamphlets.9 On 15 November, S. R. Krishnan, a native of Namakkal and journalist by profession offered satyagraha at Namakkal town by speaking against British's Second World War efforts.10 While speaking he asked the people not to supply men or money to the British. He was arrested and imprisoned at Madras jail.11 Narasimha Raju, hailed from Vallapadi in near Salem informing about his satyagraha to the local police and he delivered an anti-war speech on 20 November, 1940.

The police also recovered from him a copy of cyclostyled English Pamphlet Foursquare against War issued by All India Congress Socialist Party.12 All walks of people of Salem supported the satyagraha. Natesan, Municiple Chairman of Namakkal proposed to offer Individual Satyagraha and he had already intimated the same to the local police as well as to the public by beating the drum. On 5 December, 1940, when he was going to deliver an anti- war speech he was arrested.13 The Indian Express, a daily dated 7 December, 1940 says “Satyagrahi Natesan was arrested while he was in discussion with his friends about his satvagraha plan”.14 Selakan, an agriculturalist of Thottikulam offered satvagraha. He was arrested and imprisoned at Salem jail. One Lingam who belonged to the same village also delivered a anti-war speech and he was convicted.15 E.V.Ramaswami Naicker remarked that the Justice Party and the Muslim League would oppose the Individual Satyagraha and supported the British and pointed out that the final victory would go to the British.16 On 25 December 1940, P. Subbrayan and his wife Radhabhai Subbrayan of Salem delivered an anti-war speech. They were garlanded and introduced to the public by the President of Salem Congress Committee. Meanwhile, the police arrested and transferred them immediately to the local police station. This was the first arrest of a woman in connection with the Individual Satyagraha. The public became wild and indulged in violence. They thronged in front of the police station demanding her release. However, she was convicted for six months at Alipuram jail.17 During the last week of December a large number of individuals offered satyagraha including Chinnaswamy of Rasipurm, Perisawamy of Vennandur, Narasimharaju of Seerapalli and Natesa Chettiar of Mallur delivered an anti - war speech. They said that the public would not render any support to British's war efforts.

He was assisted by Kandaswami Mudali who was convicted and sentenced to eighteen months rigorous imprisonment. He was later released by the Government under section 562 Criminal Procedure Code when he executed a bond for rupees 200.22 Another prominent figure was Kannuswami, Secretary of the Town Individual Satyagraha Committee. Under his leadership S.R.Krishnan, Tailor Chinnaswami, Ponnuswamy Pandaram and Natarajan organised demonstrations against the British.23 Many political leaders who participated in the individual satyagraha movement and union leaders were arrested and placed under imprisonment. Further the treatment of the prisoners by the government was so cruel which led to direct confrontation of the Congress people with the government.

In the course of my study I found that women of India, when given an opportunity, did not lag behind in any field, whether political, administrative or educational. The book covers a period of ninety years. It begins with 1857 when the first attempt for freedom was made, and ends with 1947 when India attained independence.

  • Abstract This Research Was Carried out to Understand Gandhijee’S Thoughts on Co- Education
    International Educational E-Journal, {Quarterly}, ISSN 2277-2456, Volume-II, Issue-II, Apr-May-June 2013 A study of Gandhijee’s Thoughts on Co-education Narenrasinh Pratapsinh Gohil Assistant Professor, V.T.Choksi Sarvajanik College of Education, Surat, Gujarat, India Abstract This research was carried out to understand Gandhijee’s thoughts on co- education. It was qualitative research and content analysis method was used. The data regarding Gandhijee’s thoughts on co-education were collected by reading the books which were published by Navjivan Publication, Ahmadabad. Collected data was properly studied and descriptively analyzed. The result was interesting. Gandhijee believed that men and women are different creation of God so there education must be different and separate syllabus is required for that. Co-education is useful at primary level but it is not useful for higher level. Ganndhijee’s thoughts on women education were against the modern education system. Present scenario is different. Higher education is given to the women but the syllabus is equal for men and women. Not only is this but co-education also there. Gandhijee didn’t believe in it. Who is right Gandhijee or Modern Education system? This study arise this big question. KEYWORD: Co-education, Descriptive Research, Content analysis Introduction To understand the higher education in context of 21 st centaury one should know the ideas of former educationist. As far as the matter consult with India we can’t ignore Gandhijee who said my greatest contribution is in education.

  • Gandhian Economics Is Relevant
    Gandhian economics is relevant The Times of India, 2 Oct 2005, 0000 hrs IST, Pulin B. Nayak The writer is Director, Delhi School of Economics. In recent years there appears to have been a resurgence of interest in what may be called Gandhian economics. Gandhiji first enunciated some of these ideas about a hundred years ago. These are contained in his Hind Swaraj, written in 1908 during a voyage from London to South Africa. It was later published as a booklet. Gandhiji's economic ideas continued to evolve over the next four decades after he returned to India for good at the age of 45. He altered some of his more extreme positions on, say, machinery, but on a number of core formulations his conviction was unchanged. Even at the height of Gandhi's virtually unchallenged position during India's freedom struggle there were many within the Congress party, some of them his closest confidants, who were never impressed with his economic formulations. These included, notably, Jawaharlal Nehru and Jayaprakash Narayan. Nehru never challenged Gandhiji's overall moral and political pre-eminence, but his emphasis on heavy industry and investment planning was at variance with Gandhi's ideas. Hind Swaraj was a severe condemnation of modern civilisation. It aimed for self-rule in a context where the twin principles of satyagraha and non-violence were the core postulates. As one who had the most perspicacious understanding of the Indian countryside, Gandhi felt that the key to the country's progress lay in the strengthening of the decentralised, self-sufficient village economies.

    NONVIOLENCE NEWS February - April 2017 Issue 3.4 ISSN: 2202-9648 Women of Action in Nonviolence I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Nonviolence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could. ‐Mahatma Gandhi February 2016 | Non-Violence News | 1 President’s Page Women and Action in Nonviolence As Mahatma Gandhi said nonviolence is tool of strong not the weak. It requires strong will, self‐restraint and endurance power. Practicing Nonviolence is bravery at its peak. Women for Gandhi were embodiment of virtues like knowledge, humility, tolerance, sacrifice and faith. Mahatma Gandhi says “Woman is the incarnation of ahimsa. Ahimsa means infinite love, which again means infinite capacity for suffering”. And “Woman is more fitted than man to make explorations and take bolder action in ahimsa (nonviolence)”. “Woman is the embodiment of sacrifice and suffering and her advent to public life should, therefore, result in purifying it, in restraining unbridled ambition and accumulation of property”. “I first learned the concepts of non‐violence in my marriage.” In Gandhi’s opinion (as is tenet of the ancient Vedic wisdom) woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacities; she has right to participate in the very minutest details in the activities of man and she has an equal right of freedom and liberty with him. She is entitled to a supreme place in her sphere of activity as man is in his. Women, Gender, and Nonviolence in Political Movements ‐ Karen Beckwith, The College of Wooster: Although the ties between women’s rights movements and nonviolence have been deep and enduring” (Costain 2000, 175), women’s movements are not the only movements to rely upon nonviolent collective action.

By this act, the Dominion of India transformed itself into the Republic of India. The constitution had been drafted, discussed, and finalized by the Constituent assembly between December 1946 and December 1949. Comprising 395 articles and 8 schedules, this lengthy document set out the architecture of the new state. The deliberations of the Constituent assembly were comparably long and painstaking. They provide a fascinating window into the range of ideas and institutions that the makers of the constitution envisioned for the new India. But these debates, and the resultant constitution, also reflected the wider context in which the Constituent assembly met and functioned.

Professor (Political Science), Cooch Behar Panchanan Barma University, Vivekananda Street, Cooch Behar (W.B), India. DOI: 10.46609/IJSSER.2020.v05i02.005 URL: https://doi.org/10.46609/IJSSER.2020.v05i02.005 ABSTRACT Vinayak Narahari Bhave, popularly known as ‘Acharya Vinoba Bhave’ was a saint, moral tribune, a man of God and solace to millions of Indians. Vinoba Bhave describes ‘Sarvoday’ (Universal wellbeing) as the best religion. In reality, all the religions of the World propose well- being, prosperity and happiness of all. Thus ‘Sarvodaya’ incorporates all the religions of the World. Sarvodaya Movement means a way to make an ideal society with truth, love and non- violence. The concept of Sarvodaya was first advocated by Gandhiji as the title of his Gujrati translation of John Ruskin’s “Unto this Last”. Today, Sarvodaya has become a synonym for Gandhian thought. The literary meaning of Sarvodaya is the welfare of all. Sarvodaya is an ideal as well as a movement to uplift all. It is considered as an Indian solution to World problems, Gandhian panacea for socio-economic evils. As the ardent follower of Gandhi, Vinoba Bhave started to practice Sarvodaya in action for making a Sarvodaya Society in India. To make the Indian Nation based on equality, justice and freedom for all, Vinoba launched Bhoodan, Gramdan, Sampattidan Movements to help landless poor and JP left Socialist Party to support Vinoba’s movement in 1954.

  • Non-Violent Struggles of the Twentieth Century
    Foreword Narayan Desai Chancellor, Gujarat Vidyapith, Ahmedabad I am happy to write a foreword for the set of papers written for an international workshop held in New Delhi on the theme of "Non-violent struggles of the Twentieth Century and their lessons for the Twenty-first Century" in the form of a well edited book, I venture to add a few lines of my own as a humble contribution. The twentieth century is known to be the most violent century witnessed in human history. It had two dreadful world wars; devastation of two cities by the use of nuclear bombs and hundreds of other wars in between World Wars and following them, leaving tens of millions dead and injured. The civilian victims outnumbered the military soldiers in these wars. The development of technology made our planet easier for communications and also more vulnerable. More and more people were exploited by fewer and fewer persons, dividing the world into two unequal halves of the favoured and the marginalized. Not only were human beings killed, but mother earth and its surrounding atmosphere were ruined. Nature, and its flora and fauna were treated mercilessly by men. The tragic division between the rulers and the ruled was sharper than ever before. The minorities and the poor were more unfortunate victims in this tragedy, and the women and the children among them the most severely affected. While science and technology advanced rapidly, the schism between the privileged and the deprived became wider and deeper, leaving several sections of society utterly destitute. The structural violence of the twentieth century was often more cold-bloodedly ruinous than overt violence.
