The Revolutionary Movement: Reorganisation and Reorientation The youth of the country responded eagerly to the call of Gandhi to participate in the non- cooperation movement. The immediate withdrawal of the movement created resentment among the youths. The secret samitis of the first phase of revolutionary movement began to revive in Punjab and Bengal. Anushilan Samiti: Associated with Subhash Chandra Bose Yugantar Samiti: Associated with JM Sen Gupta Group. Surya Sen formed a more radical samiti in Chittagong, Bengal. Hindustan Republican Association: Formed by Sachin Sanyal and Jogesh Chatterji. They raise funds through robbery. The famous one was the Kakori train robbery in August 1925. Bhagat Singh was one of the members of HRA in Punjab. The socialist ideology influenced the Punjab group. Hence, the organisation was renamed as Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) . The aim of the HSRA was to attain complete independence. The more striking incident of the time was the murder of an Englishman, Day by Gopinath Saha in January 1924. He planned to kill Tegarb and killed Day by mistake. This incident resulted in the arrest of many nationalists. 1 of 3 9/22/2021 Indian National Movement: The Revolutionary Movement: Reorganisation and Reorientation- FlexiPrep ©FlexiPrep.

The Commission included all English men and no Indians were included to fulfil the aspirations of the Indians. This prejudice invited widespread discontentment among the nationalist. The Indian response to the Commission: Indian leaders unanimously decided to boycott the Commission. On February 3,1928, all important towns and cities observed Hartal on the day the Commission landed in India. There were rallies and flag demonstration against the Commission. “Go back Simon” was imprinted on banners, placards and kites. The black flag was waved at the Commission wherever it went. The police repressed the movement with severe measures. The most serious one was the attack on Lala Lajpat Rai. The attack resulted in the death of Lajpat Rai. Civil Disobedience and the Eleven Point During this period, an important development within the Congress was the adoption of Purna Swaraj or complete independence as its objective.

Gandhi issued an ultimatum to the Viceroy Irwin on 31st January, which did not mention anything about complete independence, or Purna Swaraj.

One of the demands was for the abolition of the salt tax and the government monopoly of the manufacture of salt.

Police found Waddedar’s body outside the club, dressed in men’s clothes and with no visible injuries, and discovered, tucked into her shirt, several pamphlets of her own writing, including “Long Live Revolution” and “An Appeal to Women.” In the latter, she had written, “Women to day have taken the firm resolution that they will not remain in the background. For the freedom of their motherland they are willing to stand side by side with their brothers in every action however hard or fearful it may be. To offer proof I have taken upon myself the leadership of this expedition to be launched today” (122).² Her body, spectacularly still outside the site of her attack, offers proof of another order.

  • Conspiracy Rises Again Racial Sympathy and Radical Solidarity Across Empires
    Conspiracy Rises Again Racial Sympathy and Radical Solidarity across Empires poulomi saha When in 1925 members of the Jugantar, a secret revolutionary asso- ciation in colonial India, began to conceive of what they believed to be a more effective strategy of anticolonial revolt than that of non- violence promoted at the time by the mainstream Congress Party in Chittagong, they chose for themselves a new name: the Indian Re- publican Army (IRA). In so doing, they explicitly constructed a rev- olutionary genealogy from which their future actions were to draw inspiration, a direct link between the anticolonial revolt in East Ben- gal and the 1916 Easter Uprising in Ireland.1 The 1930 attack on the Chittagong Armory, the first in a series of revolutionary actions tak- en by the IRA, also marked the anniversary of the Irish rebellion. The very language of Irish revolt seeped into the practices of the Indian organization as they smuggled in illegal copies of the writings of Dan Breen and Éamon de Valera and began each meeting with a reading of the Proclamation of the Irish Provisional Government. The ideological and textual kinship between these two anticolo- nial communities and another former holding of the British empire, the United States, illuminates transcolonial circuits that formed a qui parle Vol. 28, No. 2, December 2019 doi 10.1215/10418385-7861837 © 2019 Editorial Board, Qui Parle Downloaded from https://read.dukeupress.edu/qui-parle/article-pdf/28/2/307/740477/307saha.pdf by UNIV CA BERKELEY PERIODICALS user on 05 February 2020 308 qui parle december 2019 vol.

  • Independence Day
    INDEPENDENCE DAY ‘Swaraj is my Birthright and I shall have it’- Bal Gangadhar Tilak India celebrates its Independence Day on 15th August every year. Independence Day reminds us of all the sacrifices that were made by our freedom fighters to make India free from British rule. On 15th August 1947, India was declared independent from British colonialism and became the largest democracy in the world. "Tryst with Destiny" was an English-language speech delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, to the Indian Constituent Assembly in the Parliament, on the eve of India's Independence, towards midnight on 14 August 1947. The speech spoke on the aspects that transcended Indian history. It is considered to be one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century and to be a landmark oration that captures the essence of the triumphant culmination of the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule in India. The Indian independence movement was a series of historic events with the ultimate aim of ending British rule in India. The movement spanned from 1857 to 1947. The first nationalistic revolutionary movement for Indian independence emerged from Bengal. It later took root in the newly formed Indian National Congress with prominent moderate leaders seeking only their fundamental right to appear for Indian Civil Service examinations in British India, as well as more rights (economical in nature) for the people of the soil. The early part of the 20th century saw a more radical approach towards political self-rule proposed by leaders such as the Lal Bal Pal triumvirate, Aurobindo Ghosh and V.

  • Permanent Spring Dilip Simeon
    CONTINUING CONFLICT Permanent Spring Dilip Simeon All wars are the same war because war is always going on. —James Hillman ON 30 April 1908, two young men, Prafulla Chaki and Khudiram Bose, entered the boundary of the Muzaffarpur Club in Bihar and waited for the hated judge Douglas Kingsford to appear. They were members of Jugantar, the foremost nationalist revolutionary group to emerge during the Swadeshi movement in Bengal. At nightfall a horse-drawn carriage emerged, which they were sure was carrying Kingsford. A bomb was hurled into it, blowing away the rear, and severely wounding the wife and daughter of Pringle-Kennedy, a lawyer friend of the judge. He also happened to be sympathetic to Indian nationalism. Kingsford was travelling separately. Severely wounded, the daughter was dragged behind the carriage and died within the hour. Her mother died two days later. Soon afterwards, Chaki committed suicide. Khudiram was caught, and after a swift trial, hanged that August. The nationalist hagiography of these pioneering revolutionaries mentions the failure of their mission, but glosses over it to focus on their glorious sacrifice. In 1912, a bomb thrown at Lord Minto in Delhi killed not the Viceroy, but an Indian attendant. On 9 October 1915, Deputy Superintendent of Police Jatindra Mohan Ghosh was sitting in his house in Mymensingh along with his family. Some youths came to the door and fired at him, killing him on the spot. His three-year-old son, whom he was holding, was also killed. In 1932, in an attack on the Pahartali European Railway Club in Chittagong, thirteen card-playing civilians were injured and an Anglo-Indian woman killed.

  • National Revolutionism to Marxism – a Narrative of Origins of Socialist Unity Centre of India
    NATIONAL REVOLUTIONISM TO MARXISM – A NARRATIVE OF ORIGINS OF SOCIALIST UNITY CENTRE OF INDIA Dr. Bikash Ranjan Deb Associate Professor of Political Science Surya Sen Mahavidyalaya Siliguri, West Bengal, India [email protected] INTRODUCTION: The national revolutionary movement, one of the early trends of ‘Swadeshi Movement’, constituted a significant aspect in the history of the Indian freedom movement. The colonial rulers, however, preferred the term ‘terrorism’1 to denigrate the movement. For the purpose of the present study, let us confine the term ‘national revolutionism’ following Gopal Halder, ‘to describe a pattern of activity pursued for a prolonged period of thirty years, from 1904 to 1934’. (Halder, 2002: 195; Habib, S. Irfan, 2017: 2)2 Imbued with the spirit of unrelenting fight against British imperial power in India, the national revolutionaries tried to set before the people of the country a bright example of personal courage and heroic self-sacrifice, and thereby wanted to instill a mood of defiance in the minds of the people in the face of colonial repression. The national revolutionaries represented the uncompromising trend of Indian freedom movement in terms of both their willingness and their activities for complete national freedom and people’s liberation from colonial exploitation, by arousing revolutionary upsurge. But this was not the dominant trend of the national freedom struggle. The reformist and compromising section of the Indian National Congress (INC) playing the role of ‘reformist oppositional’ was the

    Frontier Vol. 44, No. 45, May 20-26, 2012 Calcutta Notebook MNM Blow, blow thou winterwind as man's ingratitude,— Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky, thou dost not bite no nigh, as benefits forgot —William Shakespeare WHATEVER FREEDOM AND comfortable lives Indians now enjoy in the ultimate analysis can be traced to the noble works and sacrifices of armed Indian revolutionaries, not to the contributions of Gandhi's Non-Violence or Nehruvian politics. Except occasional rememberings of Khudiram, Bagha Jatin, Bhagat Singh, Surya Sen and Subhash Bose young generations have chosen to remain indifferent to hundreds of other martyrs including those who spoilt their youth in Andaman's Cellular and other Jails. It can be shown, that the British had to leave India mainly because of the armed freedom fighters of which the last nail in the coffin of the British Raj was put by INA and RIN Mutiny of 1946. But other martyrs, hundreds of them, still now have been kept in oblivion. This is an unpardonable ingratitude! The Indian nation have been misled to believe that Gandhi's Non-violence and Nehru family's contributions to which all Indians should be grateful and so vote for them and keep the Nehru's relatives on the Delhi throne permanently, making India the largest showcase of dynastic democracy. Erroneous or motivated historians have contributed to it. Those in power write the history and in the Orwelian fashion the truth is : ‘Those who control the present control the past. And those who control the past control the future.’ How many, of West Bengal, not to speak of India, have heard the name of Basanta Kumar Biswas who was hanged on 11 May, 1915 at Ambala Jail for throwing bombs to the pageantry led by the New Viceroy Lord Hardinge along with Lady Hardinge at Chandni Chawak, Delhi.
