  • Abstract Kamaladevi Chattopadhyaya, Anti
    ABSTRACT KAMALADEVI CHATTOPADHYAYA, ANTI-IMPERIALIST AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVIST, 1939-41 by Julie Laut Barbieri This paper utilizes biographies, correspondence, and newspapers to document and analyze the Indian socialist and women’s rights activist Kamaladevi Chattopadhyaya’s (1903-1986) June 1939-November 1941 world tour. Kamaladevi’s radical stance on the nationalist cause, birth control, and women’s rights led Gandhi to block her ascension within the Indian National Congress leadership, partially contributing to her decision to leave in 1939. In Europe to attend several international women’s conferences, Kamaladevi then spent eighteen months in the U.S. visiting luminaries such as Eleanor Roosevelt and Margaret Sanger, lecturing on politics in India, and observing numerous social reform programs. This paper argues that Kamaladevi’s experience within Congress throughout the 1930s demonstrates the importance of gender in Indian nationalist politics; that her critique of Western “international” women’s organizations must be acknowledged as a precursor to the politics of modern third world feminism; and finally, Kamaladevi is one of the twentieth century’s truly global historical agents.

This, according to the Eicher Guide is how Mark Twain described this holiest of cities. My own exposure to Varanasi had been limited only to the films of Satyajit Ray, to “Aparajito” and its magnificent black and white images of the ghats, to the boy Apu aimlessly wandering around the old haveli where his widowed mother worked, to “Joy Baba Felunath” _ which captured the atmosphere of its winding “gullies”, and of course the river Ganga, whose meandering presence permeated virtually every frame. “I’d like to visit Varanasi”, I had casually mentioned to Purnima towards the beginning of May, “to check out if a new range of cotton and silk saris can be sourced for “Kamala” Kolkata’s Puja exhibition. I’ll ask Gulshan to give me some names of master weavers and craftsmen.” “If you are travelling alone I can accompany you if you like”, Purnima had responded and that is how the two of us set out on our Varanasi pilgrimage in the last week of May, oblivious of how scorching the summer heat could be. Gulshan had armed us with a list containing the names of several master weavers whom we should contact. We had called most of them before we had set out, and so were able to meet each of them over the following three days.

  • THE CRAFTS COUNCIL of INDIA “...Ensuring Sustainability of Artisans and Their Craft...”
    THE CRAFTS COUNCIL OF INDIA “...ensuring sustainability of artisans and their craft...” September 2014 A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR REFLECTION: Finally, What Does It Take to Value the Artisan? Ashoke Chatterjee The last two years have been a watershed in the way the Crafts Council of India and its partners understand and advocate the value of our sector. In CCI’s Golden Jubilee year, two stark realities face the future of Indian artisans. Their economic importance to the nation is yet to be established. Their social, cultural, and political significance can be brushed aside in mistaken notions of what constitutes progress and development. Fifty years after Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay established the Council to help foster and protect India’s heritage, the lesson for all of us is that we can never take that heritage for granted. Economic impact The watershed is marked by at least two milestones. One is the ground-breaking Craft Economics and Impact Study (CEIS) completed by CCI in 2012 with the support of the Tata Trust. Approaching its 50th anniversary, the Council took its first plunge into the economics of the sector it has served with such commitment. The move was in response to a wake-up call: decision-makers at the highest levels were heard dismissing Indian craft as a ‘sunset’ occupation. No reliable data could be found to establish its importance as India’s second largest source of livelihood. This, so soon after New Delhi had decided not long ago to celebrate its own golden jubilee of ’50 Years of India’s Craft Renaissance’. Schizophrenia was in the air.
