SECTION III Bombay Secret Abstract 1922-24] 287 SECTION III Bombay Secret Abstract. 1924 Page 35, para. 81— January 11.—It is rumoured in Poona City that Government has asked Gandhi if he is prepared to accept release on conditions similar to those imposed upon V. D. Savarkar and that Gandhi has declined the offer, as, he says, he is as happy at Yeravda as he would be at Sabarmati. Government is said to be now considering his unconditional release. The reason given for this move on the part of Government is that a resolution for the release of Gandhi is shortly to be moved in the Assembly. This resolution is certain to be passed by a large majority and Government will not be able to veto it for fear of becoming still more unpopular. The fact that the Labour Party is now coming into power adds of course to the difficulties of the situation. Page 60, para. 136— January 25.—It is rumoured in Poona that Gandhi has advised N. C. Kelkar and Lala Lajpatrai not to work in the Councils for his release, as he personally is quite content to remain in jail, and is certainly not prepared to accept any release to which conditions may be attached. In spite of this, however, the Swarajists intend to try to obtain the release of the Mahatma more with the idea of making Government unpopular than with that of conferring a benefit upon Gandhi. It is also said that His Excellency the Viceroy in this connection has advised His Excellency the Governor of Bombay that the release or otherwise of Gandhi is purely a provincial question and that the Government of India do not propose to interfere in the decision of the local Government in the matter. Page 68, para. 156— January 31.—The outstanding event of the week has been the operation for appendicitis performed upon Gandhi at the Sassoon Hospital, Poona, on the night of January 12. The general impression in Poona was that the operation was one for piles. Whatever the impression was, however, the general public took little interest in it, judging by the absence of any crowd near the hospital. When the seriousness of the case became more general, public interest increased and later on reached a considerable pitch. The success of the operation and the treatment which has been accorded to the Mahatma by the hospital and jail authorities has resulted in a wave of popularity in favour of the latter, particularly of Colonel Maddock. In connection with the Mahatma's illness a large number of Khilafat leaders have visited Poona including 288 A DAY OF PRAYER [1922-24 Shaukat Ali, Mohamed All, Bi-Aman, (Bi-Amma) Dr. Kitchlew, Dr. Mahmood and Hakim Ajmal Khan. January 18 was observed throughout the Presidency and Sind as a day of prayer for the recovery and release of Gandhi. In every place of any size meetings were held for this purpose. Five meetings were held in Bombay City alone on this subject the meeting on Chowpatty Sands being attended by 5,000 people. Ahmedabad came next with a meeting in the Manek Chowk of 2,000 persons: a meeting of Mahommedans having been held at the same place in the Juma Masjid. The' general tone of the speeches was moderate, but a strong impression seemed to be present that Government would seize this opportunity of releasing the Mahatma. There is no doubt that owing to illness, Gandhi's stock is again at a premium. Page 103, para. 221. Section (12)— Bombay City. S. B., February 5.—The news of Gandhi's release has not yet reached all parts of the city as it has been published by only a few newspapers so far, but wherever it has reached it is being received with the greatest delight and His Excellency the Governor is being complimented on his liberality since his arrival here. Even orthodox non-co-operators are delighted and say that the Swarajists have now nothing to fight for in the Legislative Assembly. As regards the cancellation of the proposed Gandhi month (February 18 March 18) nothing has yet been decided and it is not likely to be decided until the Bombay Provincial Congress Committee meets in a day or two. The Share Bazar is closed by way of rejoicing. The share-brokers collected Rs. 500 on the spot to feed the cows. Sweets were also distributed. The Bullion Bazar and a few cotton association at Sheikh Memon Street have stopped business. The Cloth Markets and jewellery bazars are closed on account of Amavasya holiday which falls to-day. Mahomed Ali is issuing a message to the Chronicle. He left for Poona this morning, presumably to see Gandhi. The illiterate have a story that as Gandhi's horoscope was inauspicious for the next year or so, Government were afraid that he might die on their hands and bring them discredit. Page 121, para. 255— Poona, February 18.—Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was released on February 4 unconditionally, the unexpired portions of the three sentences of 2 years' simple imprisonment the sentences to be consecutive, passed upon him by the Sessions Court of Ahmedabad being remitted by Government. 1924] RELEASE CELEBRATED IN SIND 289 (1-a) Sind C. I. D., February 5.—Gandhi's release was celebrated by a public meeting at the Khalikdina Hall on February 5, 1924, when speeches were made in which there was much speculation as to the reason for his release and many theories were advanced. Each wing of the Congress namely Swarajists and No-changers claimed the event as a victory for itself. The former seemed to consider that the pressure (possibly more potential than actual as yet) brought to bear by them on Government through the Councils was the prime-mover; while the latter inclined to attribute it to the people's universal demand and the possibility of Satyagraha, which may have led Government to take the line of least resistance. Jawharmal Totiram Mansukhani alias Swami Govindanand presided over the meeting. The Karachi Municipal office and schools and the D. J. Sind College were closed immediately on receipt of the' news. The students of the college assembled in the hall, prayed for Gandhi's recovery, and sent a congratulatory telegram to him. Now that Gandhi has been released, the proposed "Gandhi month" from February 18 to March 18 may be dropped in Sind lest it should fall flat as it would be largely meaningless. (2)Karachi Headquarters, February 9.—A calendar issued over the signature of Parshottam Rauji, recounting the story of Gandhi's illness, treatment and recovery, was sold by him for one anna per copy. In pressing the sale he described the Governor as "papi" and said that he had released Gandhi under pressure of public opinion, and that the illness of Gandhi was aggrevated by the carelessness of the authorities, (3)Hyderabad, February 9.—A meeting of about 1,500 persons was held at Hyderabad on February 6 to celebrate the release of Gandhi, Jeramdas Daulatram presided. There was a feeling of joy that Gandhi had been released, but sorrow that his release had been due to the clemency of Government. Considerable optimism prevailed as to his ability to invigorate the non-co-operation movement and to bridge over Hindu-Muslim differences. (4)Nawabshah, February 9.—Meetings were held at Naushahre on February 5 and 6, at Shahpur on February 6, at Tando Adam on February 7 and Kumblima on February 9 to celebrate the release of Gandhi. Page 125, para. 256 (17, 18)— Sholapur, February 9.—A display of fireworks was given at Barsi by the Municipality to celebrate the release of Gandhi. The bazar was illuminated. 290 JATHA SEVERELY BEATEN [1924 Meetings to celebrate the release were also held at Sholapur, Pundarpur, Madha and Sangola. At the Sholapur meeting a few caps and European clothes were burnt. No particular enthusiasm was aroused at these meetings. Bijapur, February 9.—A procession and a meeting was held at Bijapur on February 5 to celebrate the release of Gandhi. Similar processions and meetings were held at Bagalkot, Hungund, Bilgi and Guledgud. The Bijapur meeting was attended by about 1,500 persons. S. V. Koujalgi was the only speaker. He told the audience that the Khaddar Board was expected to arrive at Bijapur in a few days when he urged everybody to go to the railway station in khadi to meet them. He warned the audience that if Gandhi became aware of the present unsatisfactory state of the non-cooperation movement he might retire to jail and spend his remaining four years there. Page 160, para. 330 (2)—Karachi—Feb. 23. (2) God is one Sat-Guru Parshad—Jaitu Shahidi Jatha. The following is a summary of the information received from Amritsar:— "The Jatha calling out Satnam Shri Wahguru proceeded in the direction of Gurudwara Shiri Gangsar. When the Jatha reached the Shiri Tibi Saib Gurudwara situated at a distance of two furlongs from Shri Gangsar, a European administrator of Nabha arrived accompanied by cavalry and state officers and checked the progress of the Shahidi Jatha and ordered them to disperse, warning them that if they persisted in their onward journey they would be fired on. The Jatha persisted and advanced towards the Gurudwara. At this the order to fire was given by the Nabha Administrator. About 40 or 50 were killed. The Jatha continued to advance towards the Gurudwara, patiently, in face of the fire calling out " Satnam Shri Wahguru.". Other casualties and the number of wounded are still unknown. The remainder of the Jatha were severely beaten, rendered unconscious], roped, and removed to the fort.

  • Part Ii Bombay Presidency Police Abstracts of Intelligence
    572 PART II BOMBAY PRESIDENCY POLICE ABSTRACTS OF INTELLIGENCE In this Part of the Volume is incorporated the source material culled from the Bombay Presidency Police Secret. Abstracts of Intelligence. In the nature of things these Abstracts of Intelligence are yet secret and not accessible to students of History or research scholars. They are, probably, the most authentic documents which were originally got prepared for helping the framing of policy and execution of measures for maiatainins law and order by the alien British Government. It can by no sttetch of imagination be said that everything that is mentioned in these Abstracts is true. As a matter of fact, in the course of vetting the material this Editor found that several observations made and assessment of the events done by the Police authorities in these Abstracts are not borne out by facts and truth about the events. It has, therefore, been incumbent upon the Editor to record his own observations in the Notes and Footnotes. It should, however, be acknowledged that these documents are quite trustworthy for studying the history of freedom struggle. The Police reports mention the names and activities of innumerable local leaders and activists, who participated in the freedom struggle. It has been necessary that very brief notes about their role in the national struggle should be furnished. Such an effort has been done in footnotes, within the constraints of available space. The users of this Volumn, il is believed, will find the footnotes very useful. It may be noted that the Bombay Presidency Police Abstracts of Intelligence give the reports for all the districts then in the Presidency.

  • 1. RAJKOT the Struggle in Rajkot Has a Personal Touch About It for Me
    1. RAJKOT The struggle in Rajkot has a personal touch about it for me. It was the place where I received all my education up to the matricul- ation examination and where my father was Dewan for many years. My wife feels so much about the sufferings of the people that though she is as old as I am and much less able than myself to brave such hardships as may be attendant upon jail life, she feels she must go to Rajkot. And before this is in print she might have gone there.1 But I want to take a detached view of the struggle. Sardar’s statement 2, reproduced elsewhere, is a legal document in the sense that it has not a superfluous word in it and contains nothing that cannot be supported by unimpeachable evidence most of which is based on written records which are attached to it as appendices. It furnishes evidence of a cold-blooded breach of a solemn covenant entered into between the Rajkot Ruler and his people.3 And the breach has been committed at the instance and bidding of the British Resident 4 who is directly linked with the Viceroy. To the covenant a British Dewan5 was party. His boast was that he represented British authority. He had expected to rule the Ruler. He was therefore no fool to fall into the Sardar’s trap. Therefore, the covenant was not an extortion from an imbecile ruler. The British Resident detested the Congress and the Sardar for the crime of saving the Thakore Saheb from bankruptcy and, probably, loss of his gadi.

    LOKAMANYA TILAK G. P. PRADHAN Foreword 1. Student and Teacher 2. Dedicated Journalist and Radical Nationalist 3. Four-Point Programme for Swarajya 4. An Ordeal 5. Broad-Based Political Movement 6. Scholar and Unique Leader Index Foreword The conquest of a nation by an alien power does not mean merely the loss of political freedom; it means the loss of one’s self-confidence too. Due to economic exploitation by the ruling power, the conquered nation is deprived of its natural resources and the people lose their sense of self-respect. Slavery leads to moral degradation and it thus becomes essential to restore self-confidence in the people so that they become fearless enough to participate in the struggle for freedom. In this respect Tilak played a pioneering role in India’s freedom struggle. For nearly four decades, he directed his energies to the task of creating the consciousness in the people that swarajya was their birthright. As editor of the Kesafy he opposed the tyrannical British rule and raised his voice against the injustices perpetrated on the Indians. With Chhatrapati Shivaji as his perennial source of inspiration, Tilak appealed to the people to emulate the great Maratha warrior and revive the glorious past. During the famine of 1896, Tilak made a fervent plea that the government must provide relief to the peasants, as stipulated in the Famine Relief Code. When Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India, partitioned Bengal, the people of Bengal were enraged. Tilak, alongwith Lala Lajpat Rai and Bipin Chandra Pal, made the issue of partition a national cause and appealed to the people to assert their rights.

  • Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, Volume 98
    1. GIVE AND TAKE1 A Sindhi sufferer writes: At this critical time when thousands of our countrymen are leaving their ancestral homes and are pouring in from Sind, the Punjab and the N. W. F. P., I find that there is, in some sections of the Hindus, a provincial spirit. Those who are coming here suffered terribly and deserve all the warmth that the Hindus of the Indian Union can reasonably give. You have rightly called them dukhi,2 though they are commonly called sharanarthis. The problem is so great that no government can cope with it unless the people back the efforts with all their might. I am sorry to confess that some of the landlords have increased the rents of houses enormously and some are demanding pagri. May I request you to raise your voice against the provincial spirit and the pagri system specially at this time of terrible suffering? Though I sympathize with the writer, I cannot endorse his analysis. Nevertheless I am able to testify that there are rapacious landlords who are not ashamed to fatten themselves at the expense of the sufferers. But I know personally that there are others who, though they may not be able or willing to go as far as the writer or I may wish, do put themselves to inconvenience in order to lessen the suffering of the victims. The best way to lighten the burden is for the sufferers to learn how to profit by this unexpected blow. They should learn the art of humility which demands a rigorous self-searching rather than a search of others and consequent criticism, often harsh, oftener undeserved and only sometimes deserved.

    1. LETTER TO INDIRA NEHRU [After October 15, 1939]1 CHI. INDU, You must have now lost the habit of writing Hindi. But I must write, mustn’t I, in the rashtrabhasha ? Have you gone there for studies or for falling ill? How did you contract pleurisy? I have suffered the pangs of pleurisy. May God restore you soon to health. Blessings from BAPU From a photostat of the Hindi: C. W. 9805. Courtesy: Nehru Memorial Museum and Library 2. NOTES A POSER A Britisher has written to Deenabandhu Andrews a letter on the war expounding his own views. He is an ardent pacifist. Deenabandhu has shared the letter with me. In it occur the following paragraphs: For India too I think that this is a very critical time. The danger I see is that Britain may promise full Dominion Status or something of the kind, and as a result India will raise an army and become one more military-minded nation. Her witness for the way of non-violence and soul-force would then be largely discounted. How can Gandhiji as a believer in non-violence ask for clarification of war aims with a view to getting India’s support for Britain in this way of war? The only thing that he can do and that we should all be doing is to build up an army of men and women who are committed to the way of love and forgiveness and to receive but never to return violence. We have to work this out to see how it will alter our daily life as well as all our thinking and acting towards other communities and nations.

  • 1. Letter to Additional Secretary, Home Department, Government of India
    1. LETTER TO ADDITIONAL SECRETARY, HOME DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA DETENTION CAMP, January 27, 1944 ADDITIONAL SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA (HOME DEPARTMENT) NEW DELHI SIR, Some days ago Shri Kasturba Gandhi told the Inspector-General of prisons and Col. Shah that Dr. Dinshaw Mehta of Poona be invited to assist in her treatment. Nothing seems to have come out of her request. She has become insistent now and asked me if I had written to the Government in the matter. I, therefore, ask for immediate permission to bring in Dr. Mehta. She has also told me and my son that she would like to have some Ayurvedic physician to see her.1 I suggest that the I.G.P. be authorized to permit such assistance when requested. 2. I have no reply as yet to my request2 that Shri Kanu Gandhi, who is being permitted to visit the patient every alternate day, be allowed to remain in the camp as a whole-time nurse. The patient shows no signs of recovery and night-nursing is becoming more and more exacting. Kanu Gandhi is an ideal nurse, having nursed the patient before. And what is more, he can soothe her by giving her instrumental music and by singing bhajans. I request early relief to relieve the existing pressure. The matter may be treated as very urgent. 3. The Superintendent of the camp informs me that when visitors come, one nurse only can be present. Hitherto more than one nurse has attended when necessary. The Superintendent used his discretion as to the necessity.
