    The Information Research Department, British Covert Propaganda, and the Sino- Indian War of 1962: Combatting Communism and Courting Failure? Paul M. McGarr Department of American and Canadian Studies University of Nottingham University Park Nottingham NG7 2RD Tel. 0115 8232265 [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT Britain’s post-war interventions in former colonial territories remain a controversial area of contemporary history. In the case of India, recent releases of official records in the United Kingdom and South Asia have revealed details of British government anti-communist propaganda activity in the subcontinent during the Cold War period. This article focuses attention on covert or unattributable propaganda conducted in India by the Foreign Office’s Information Research Department (IRD). It specifically examines the 1960s: a time between the outbreak of the Sino-Indian border war in 1962, and the Indian general election of 1967, when IRD operations peaked. The Indian government welcomed British support in an information war waged against Communist China, but cooperation between London and New Delhi quickly waned. Britain’s propaganda initiative in India lacked strategic coherence, and cut across the grain of local resistance to anti-Soviet material. The British Government found itself running two separate propaganda campaigns in the subcontinent: one focused on Communist China, and declared to the Indian government; and a second, secret programme, targeting the Soviets. In this context, Whitehall found it difficult to implement an integrated and effective anti-communist propaganda offensive in India. Key words: Information Research Department; India; China; Sino-Indian War; propaganda. Whitehall’s post-war interventions in Britain’s former colonial territories remain a controversial area of contemporary history.

  • The Hindu'saugust 15, 1947 Issue
    COLLECTOR'S EDITION The Hindu’s August 15, 1947 issue From its birth as a weekly in September 1878, The Hindu became a powerful instrument of the Indian national movement that sought to overthrow British rule. It was hence tting that when freedom dawned, The Hindu welcomed it with characteristic aplomb, deep thought, and skillful penmanship. The Hindu's edition on August 15, 1947, along with a 32-page supplement, was a tribute to the freedom struggle, with articles by some of the greatest names of that age including V.K. Krishna Menon, India’s rst woman legislator Muthulakshmi Reddi, and the great educationist K.M. Munshi. It also carried striking images of the arrival of Independence, and riveting news from that tempestuous time. The Hindu's leading article on the historic day was characteristically pithy and powerful. Titled "Red letter day'', it said: "By the grace of Providence India enters the comity of free nations today, an equal among equals. It is an occasion for rejoicing not only for her people but for all who value human freedom as an end in itself. So long as this country with her hoary civilisation and many-sided culture, her wealth of resources and matchless opulence of spirit remained in political bondage, that very fact constituted an implicit denial of those values to which the dominant nations of the West were wont to pay lip service." Now, we are proud to share with our loyal subscribers, those very pages, articles, and images from which our readers got to know about the advent of freedom on August 15, 1947.

  • History of Tamil Society
    History, Culture, Heritage and Socio-Political Movements in Tamil Nadu History of Tamil Society INTRODUCTION Tamil civilization, as we have seen, begins atleast three centuries before the Common Era (CE). As seafaring people, Tamil traders and sailors established commercial and cultural links across the seas and merchants from foreign territories also visited the Tamil region. The resulting cultural and mercantile activities and internal developments led to urbanization in this region. Towns and ports emerged. Coins and currency came into circulation. Written documents were produced. The TamilBrahmi script was adopted to write the Tamil language. Classical Tamil poems were composed. Sources for the study of early Tamil society The sources for reconstructing the history of the ancient Tamils are: 1. Classical Tamil literature 2. Epigraphy (inscriptions) 3. Archaeological excavations and material culture 4. Non-Tamil and Foreign Literature The Classical Sangam Tamil Literature The Classical Sangam corpus (collection) consists of the Tholkappiyam, the Pathinen Melkanakku(18 Major works) and the Pathinen Kilkanakku(18 minor works) and the five epics. Tholkappiyam Tholkappiyam, attributed to Tholkappiyar, is the earliest written work on Tamil grammar. 1 History, Culture, Heritage and Socio-Political Movements in Tamil Nadu Apart from elaborating the rules of grammar, the third section of Tholkappiyam also describes poetic conventions that provide information on Tamil social life.

    A. Dharmalingam Journalist of The Nilgiris Developments in Post-Independence Decades Edited by Dharmalingam Venugopal Nilgiri Documentation Centre 2013 (ii) Published by : Nilgiri Documentation Centre John Sullivan Memorial Kannerimukku Village Kotagiri The Nilgiris - 643 217. Cover photo by : R.A.Das Contents of the book may be reproduced with due acknowledgement. Price: Rs.250/- Printed by : BB Printers, Chennai-5. (iii) Foreword I do not believe I ever met A. Dharmalingam. I say this rather tentatively as I, in my ninth year at that time, spent nearly a month in Ooty in 1954 with my parents. It is impossible that my father, the late Devadas Gandhi, who was Managing Editor of ‘The Hindustan Times’, would have failed to meet this unusual fellow-walker on the street of ink. And I as one, who had attached himself to his father's hands, going wherever he went, sitting by his side wherever he settled down for a chat or a coffee, or just to take the beauty of the Nilgiris in, must have been an impish and irritating interference in their conversation. And A. Dharmalingam would not have missed the chance to spend as much time as he could have with this visitor who was also a friend of his own editor, Kasturi Srinivasan. Reading this little book on the engaging life of this field journalist is an absolute delight. It brings to life more than one man's story. It opens up as if through a mist, the kind one sees of any morning in the Nilgiris, the rich and riveting life in those hills, and then again, not just as A.

This publication helped to bolster the case of those in Whitehall who had been seeking for some time to convince the British government of the necessity of funding some form of “cultural propaganda.” However, it was the rise of fascism and Nazism, combined with intense economic competition, which finally led the British government to set up an arms-length institution.
