  • Locating Activist Spaces: the Neighbourhood As a Source and Site of Urban Activism in 1970S Calcutta
    Cultural Dynamics 23(1) 21–40 Locating Activist Spaces: © The Author(s) 2011 Reprints and permissions: The Neighbourhood as a sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0921374011403352 Source and Site of Urban cdy.sagepub.com Activism in 1970s Calcutta Henrike Donner London School of Economics and Political Science Abstract This article analyses the meaning of urban neighbourhoods for the emergence of Maoist activism in 1970s Calcutta. Through ethnography the article highlights the way recruitment, strategies and the legacy of the movement were located in the experience and politics of the urban neighbourhood. As a social formation, the neighbourhood shaped the relationships that made Maoist subjectivities feasible and provided the space for coalitions and cooperation across a wider spectrum than the label of a student movement acknowledges. The neighbourhood appears here as an emergent site for Maoist epistemologies, which depended on this space and its everyday practices, intimate social relations as well as the experience of the local state in the locality. Keywords activism, India, Maoists, neighbourhood, urban Introduction In spite of the focus of much recent research on contemporary urban South Asia, and an increasing interest in social movements on the subcontinent, the two bodies of literature and the questions they raise are rarely thought together. Moreover, contemporary ‘progressive urban movements’ remain largely unanalysed, unless they take the form of globally recognizable labour politics. This article represents an attempt to think activism and urbanism in contemporary South Asia together through the ethnography of Maoist activism in 1970s Calcutta, and I will zoom in on a specific set of relationships, social and material, political and economical, which shaped this movement, namely the urban neighbourhood.1 Corresponding author: Henrike Donner, Department of Anthropology, London School of Economics and Political Science, Houghton Street, London WC2A 2AE, UK.

  • Speech by Shri Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, the President of India 13Th Convocation of the INDIAN ACADEMY of MEDICAL SCIENCES, New Delhi, January 03, 1976
    Speech by Shri Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, The President of India 13th Convocation of the INDIAN ACADEMY OF MEDICAL SCIENCES, New Delhi, January 03, 1976 I deem it a privilege to have been invited to be the Chief Guest at the 13th Convocation of the Indian Academy of Medical Sciences. The Indian Academy of Medical Sciences is an association of the highest talents in the field of medical sciences. I am happy to note that the Academy is zealously striving to promote excellence in the field of medical research and education and that it plays a significant role in establishing an intellectual climate for the conduct of research in the specialized areas of medical science. India is committed to improving the quality of life and raising the standard of living of its people. To bring about this social transformation, we have adopted that method of planned development. Development, to my mind, means more the development of human quality and mental and physical resources rather than merely of material resources. If we wish individuals to have a qualitatively better life, the basic amenities incorporated in the scheme of development must cover areas of public health and health education. Science and technology will help us in solving the formidable problems facing us in the field of health and medical care only if we use them in the proper matrix and adapt them to our needs. Fight against death and disease has today become a global concern and the scientific communities of the developing world have to collectively evolve a strategy to face the spectra of disease, under‐nourishment and over population.

Viswanathan Secretary-General Lok Sabha Published under Rule 382 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha (Fourteenth Edition). Lok Sabha Secretariat New Delhi Foreword In the over six decades that our Parliament has served its exalted purpose, it has witnessed India change from a feudally administered colony to a liberal democracy that is today the world's largest and also the most diverse. For not only has it been the country's supreme legislative body it has also ensured that the individual rights of each and every citizen of India remain inviolable. Like the Parliament building itself, power as configured by our Constitution radiates out from this supreme body of people's representatives. The Parliament represents the highest aspirations of the people, their desire to seek for themselves a better life. dignity, social equity and a sense of pride in belonging to a nation, a civilization that has always valued deliberation and contemplation over war and aggression. Democracy. as we understand it, derives its moral strength from the principle of Ahimsa or non-violence. In it is implicit the right of every Indian, rich or poor, mighty or humble, male or female to be heard. The Parliament, as we know, is the highest law making body. It also exercises complete budgetary control as it approves and monitors expenditure.

The movement could also be interpreted as an effort towards dismantling the prevailing unequal socio- economic and political structures that are understood by these radical left wing groups to have been serving the interests of upper strata of the society.

  • Separating the Wheat from the Chaff Meerut and the Creation of “Official” Communism in India
    Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East Separating the Wheat from the Chaff Meerut and the Creation of “Official” Communism in India Ali Raza ew events have been as significant for the leftist movement in colonial India as the Meerut Conspir- acy Case. At the time, the case captured the imagination of virtually all political sections in British India as well as left- leaning organizations around the globe. It also defined the way in which the FLeft viewed itself and conducted its politics. Since then, the case has continued to attract the attention of historians working on the Indian Left. Indeed, it is difficult to come across any work on the Left that does not accord a prominent place to Meerut. Despite this, the case has been viewed mostly in terms that tend to diminish its larger significance. For one, within the rather substantial body of literature devoted to the Indian Left, there have been very few works that examine the case with any degree of depth. Most of those have been authored by the Left itself or by political activists who were defendants in the case. Whether authored by the Left or by academ- ics, the literature generally contends that the Raj failed in its objective to administer a fatal blow to “com- munism” in India. Instead, it’s commonly thought that the trial actually provided a fillip to communist politics in India.1 Not only did the courtroom provide an unprecedented opportunity to the accused to openly articulate their political beliefs, but it also generated public sympathy for communism.
