In March 1881, as far as their liability to the state was concerned, comprised two categories – those who paid little or no rent to the State after touring the rural areas of Poona and Ahmadnagar I and those who paid high rent. The first category was dominated districts, which were still recovering from the by affluent Brahmins and elite Marathas who owned most of devastations caused by famine and the credit crunch the fertile lands as rent free or inam lands. The inams were land followed by the peasant revolt of 1876-79, grants often for the services rendered to the state. In the Deccan, villages and at times groups of villages were held as inam.

    CENTRE FOR POLITICAL STUDIES SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY MONSOON SEMESTER 2021 M.A. COMPULSORY COURSE: PO 410 COURSE TITLE: INDIAN POLITICS I: POLITICAL THOUGHT IN MODERN INDIA INSTRUCTOR: DR MANINDRA THAKUR & DR RINKU LAMBA Credits 4 Scheme of Evaluation: Class participation; Assignments; Mid semester (50%); End semester exam (50%) Background Note: There are different ways of imagining India. These different imaginations are available to us through political ideas and concepts that emerged in modern India against the backdrop of colonialism. These ideas and frameworks involved among other things, a reassessment of traditional inheritances as well as an encounter with and specific modes of appropriation of modernity. Thinkers belonging to diverse intellectual persuasions opened up refreshingly new ways of envisaging the self, public life and the possibilities of crafting a new world, and these endeavours offer a window to understand the complex tapestry of political life in India. This paper approaches this body of thought by identifying certain key issues and concerns without shelving the contestations they are embroiled in. The perspective framework proposed here is dovetailed to a nonlinear reading of ideas, particularly those belonging to the same kindred class. 1. The Context (i) Colonialism (ii) Modernity (iii) Imagination of Nation 2. Political Ideas (a) Invocation of Tradition: (With special reference to Bhudeb Mukhopadhyay, Tilak, Gandhi, M.S. Golwalkar) (i) Assessment of Inheritance (ii) Designation of Past iii) Religion, Caste and Culture (b) Engagement with Modernity: (With special reference to Ranade, Tilak, Tagore, Nehru, Ambedkar, Pandita Ramabai, M.N Roy and Iqbal) (i) Social Reforms (ii) Reconfiguration of space: sacred/polluted, private/public (iii) Conceptions of Self 1 3.

    M.A. (POLITICAL SCIENCE) PART-I PAPER- V (SEMESTER-II) (MODERN INDIAN POLITICAL THOUGHT) Lesson No. 1.2 GOPAL KRISHAN GOKHALE: [AS A MODERATE THINKER, POLITICAL GOALS AND TECHNIQUES, ECONOMIC PHILOSOPHY AND EDUCATIONAL REFORMS] Gopal Krishan Gokhale, was one of the most respected of India’s statemen. Gokhale combined in his character rare qualities of intelligence with courage, patrio- tism with honesty, statesmanship with liberal outlook, political shrewdness with clear foresight of the future. Without being born in to rich family, Gokhale rose to extraordi- nary eminence in national and international life due to his personal character and ability hard labour and public spirit. His political life and career served as an ideal for Mahatma Gandhi. He accepted Gokhale his ‘Guru’ because of the truthful and straight- forward means he employed in the pursuit of his political objectives. It is for this reason that he described him as ‘Gokhale the good’ and ‘India’s great servant’. Early Life and Training Gopal Krishan Gokhale was born on 9 May, 1876 in small Village of Kotluk of Ratnagiri district in the then Bombay Presidency. The family connected with Chiptpavan Brahmins of brave Maratha race was extremely poor. His parents had only small unprofitable plot of land. His father Krishan Rao who first served as a low paid clerk and later an as sub inspector of police, could not get good education due to poverty. So his only ambition was to give modern education to his two son Gobind and Gopal. After initial education in the village where Krishan Rao was living, both the brother were sent to Kolhapur in 1876 for doing high school.
