Fortunately, our resolution coincided with the Centenary Celebration of the Indian National Congress. This made our task relatively easy. To accomplish it however, it was necessary to collect and publish the source material of all such histories. It is needless to say that the two books written by Dr. T. K. Tope come under this projected scheme of ours. I have always thought that the two books : Bombay and Congress Presidents (already published ) and Bombay and Congress movement ( which is being published now), should be written by Dr. Tope only. He belongs to hoary tradition of Bombay. He was a student of the city, a Professor in the University of Bombay, a Vice-Chancellor of the University and is now Sheriff of Bombay. In all these capacities he has carefully observed and collected in his memory the activities which made the history of Bombay. In fact he is one of the makers of the history of Bombay. I am glad that he accepted our invitation and agreed to write the present book. Bombay has played a major role in the Congress movement. As Dr. Tope points out “ The role of the City of Bombay in Congress movement is unique.It was here in 1885 that the Indian National Congress was born. It was from this city that Gandhiji gave the call for Non- cooperation. It was again here in Bombay, that the Civil disobedience movement was systematically carried on a very large and systematic scale. It was again Bombay that hosted the A.I.C.C. Session in 1942, when Gandhiji gave the call ‘ Quit India’. The Naval Ratings in Bombay in 1946 unfurled the flag of hostilities towards the Britishers. The present President of the Congress and the Prime Minister of India Shri Rajiv Gandhi was born in Bombay”. The History of Modern India begins with the battle of Plassi. It was a turning point in India History. It is on this day, that the seeds of the British Empire were sown in India. In fact, it was at this time that Mughal power had already collapsed and in 1761, in the 3rd battle of Panipat, Maratha power also received a great blow. By 1818 the Peshwas had surrendered and by 1854-55 the last Maratha Kingdom of Bhosala’s of Nagpur was annexed. The other States like thoseof Holkars, Sindias and Nizam were subjugated though they were allowed to remain as principalities in the British Empire. There was bound to be a reaction to this and in 1857 the forces of Nationalism and Feudalism expressed themselves in a revolt almost throughout India. As a result of this revolt the rule of East India Company came to an end and India became a part of the Empire of the Queen of England: she became the Empress of India. Establishment of Indian National Congress was itself a landmark in the history of our freedom struggle. Before that, there were, indeed, political revolts almost every year and in every part of the country. But these struggles were mostly of the select few. The common man of the country had not risen in revolt and no one could have in fact fought the British with traditional weapons. Although establishment of the British rule in India was in itself a miracle, a small size trading company coming from 10 thousand miles away and bringing under its wings, the whole of the country, the military mite of the British was far superior to CONTENTS ours and if the British rule had to be resisted, it had to be resisted with a different kind of organisation and weapons. The liberals among the British had also realised that it would not be possible to rule the dissatisfied and disgruntled people and that the establishment of order depended on the peoples’ co-operation. So, seeking co-operation of the leaders of the society was in the air and it resulted in the establishment of the Indian National Congress. The architects of this event were Hume, Wedderburn, Dadabhoy Naoroji, Sir Henry Cotton amongst others. A few of them wanted this Institution to be social, but a few of them definitely wanted it to be political, so that it could become a forum of people for demanding political reforms. However, from the very beginning Congress has always remained the main political forum and the history of freedom struggle can be generally identified with the history of the Congress. Not that, there were not other extremist groups, struggling for our independence, but directly or indirectly, they were also connected with the Congress. In the beginning the role of the Congress was, so to say, very minor, that of making certain resolutions and requesting the Government to make some reforms necessary for the welfare of the people. It must be admitted that the British rule also brought with it a new awareness for the common man, who was being educated in the British way of thinking but gradually the awareness also made clear the real important of bondage and the intelligent class gradually started asserting itself. This asserting developed in different directions Mahatma Jyotiba Phule tried to awaken the common man. Justice Ranade and Agarkar pleded for social changes and Dadabhoy Naoroji Lokmanya Tilak. G. K. Gokhale tried to bring about political changes. Of course. Tilak was a hardliner and very soon he could gather young men around him, not only from Maharashtra, but also from other parts of India. He gave a four point programme-(1) Boycott of foreign goods ; (2) Promotion of Swadeshi : (3) Natational Education and (4) Swarajya. The struggle between the moderates and Tilak gives us another important phase in the history of our freedom struggle, “Swaraj is my birth-right and I will have it” was his basic slogan and he could gather strength, because of the ways of the Britishers. For example when Lord Curzon divided Bengal, even the terrorists looked to Tilak for a moral support, which he did give and but for him the activities of Sawarkar. Senapati Bapat and revolutionaries of Bengal would not have gathered the momentum. Tilak’s policy naturally resulted in splitting the Congress at Surat between two camps, the younger element gathering around Tilak. This I think was the beginning of the second phaseof our freedom movement. It was also a landmark in a sense, for , Tilak had by this time introduced a new weapon in the struggle, a weapon of mass movement, which later on was very effectively used by Mahatma Gandhi. Lokmanya Tilak obeyed the British law, but fought for our constitutional rights like an opposition leader. His going to Jail had also a different significance. Till then only robbers and brigands, and at the most the extremists were put in jail and the jail was regarded as a place to be abhored. When Tilak went to jail, the situation changed. Tilak was arrested in 1908 and was released in 1914. By this time, Mrs. Annie Besant had also started the Home Rule Movemnent. But when Tilak came back to India the political scene was completely dominated by Tilak and from Lucknow Congress till about 1920 Tilak was the policy maker of Indian peoples’ demands. CONTENTS Mahatma Gandhi returned from Africa by about 1915, but for about a year he travelled in all parts of India, watching and studying what was happening. He started as a follower of Gokhale, who was moderate. But the Jallianwala massacre in 1919 completely changed Gandhiji. The Jallianwalla Episode, I regard, as an important landmark in our freedom struggle. It was the emergence of a new leadership,that of Gandhiji, a leadership which ultimately led us to Swaraj. It is at this time, that Montegue-Chemesford reforms were announced.

    HINDUSTAN TIMES, NEW DELHI 10 hindustantimes THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2019 YEARS ON In the south 1869 - 2019 N O T E S FROM THE FIELD ' binary of Ambedkar/Periyar before I came Commemorative stamps starting with to Madurai. In the course of my doctoral the- India Post’s 2018 set, and those issued sis on Iyothee Dasa Pandithar [also spelt around the globe over the years Thass; he was a 19th and early 20th century Tamil Dalit social reformer who converted to Buddhism], I realised the contribution of Gandhi and Gandhians in changing Tamil society. Irrespective of what Dravidian par- ties would have you believe, without Gandhi there would have been little social justice or reform in Tamil Nadu that the state prides itself on,” says Stalin Rajangam, a Dalit scholar and researcher who teaches Tamil literature in Madurai’s American College. MADURAI’S GANDHI MEMORY The Gandhi Memorial Museum in Madurai is one of six national Gandhi monuments in India and the only one in south India. It is housed in a magnificent palace built in 1700 1 by the brave Madurai regent queen, Rani Mangammal. To add to the tourist attrac- tions, there is a giant model of the Tyranno- saurus Rex in the campus. The museum, inaugurated in 1959, is in custody of the bloodstained shawl and loincloth worn by Gandhi when he was shot by Nathuram Godse in 1948. It is kept in display in an alcove with walls painted in black. 2 However, there are other pieces of Gan- dhi’s legacy scattered in the south.

  • Gandhi and Mani Bhavan
    73 Gandhi and Mani Bhavan Sandhya Mehta Volume 1 : Issue 07, November 2020 1 : Issue 07, November Volume Independent Researcher, Social Media Coordinator of Mani Bhavan, Mumbai, [email protected] Sambhāṣaṇ 74 Abstract: This narrative attempts to give a brief description of Gandhiji’s association with Mani Bhavan from 1917 to 1934. Mani Bhavan was the nerve centre in the city of Bombay (now Mumbai) for Gandhiji’s activities and movements. It was from here that Gandhiji launched the first nationwide satyagraha of Rowlett Act, started Khilafat and Non-operation movements. Today it stands as a memorial to Gandhiji’s life and teachings. _______ The most distinguished address in a quiet locality of Gamdevi in Mumbai is the historic building, Mani Bhavan - the house where Gandhiji stayed whenever he was in Mumbai from 1917 to 1934. Mani Bhavan belonged to Gandhiji’s friend Revashankar Jhaveri who was a jeweller by profession and elder brother of Dr Pranjivandas Mehta - Gandhiji’s friend from his student days in England. Gandhiji and Revashankarbhai shared the ideology of non-violence, truth and satyagraha and this was the bond of their empathetic friendship. Gandhiji respected Revashankarbhai as his elder brother as a result the latter was ever too happy to Volume 1 : Issue 07, November 2020 1 : Issue 07, November Volume host him at his house. I will be mentioning Mumbai as Bombay in my text as the city was then known. Sambhāṣaṇ Sambhāṣaṇ Volume 1 : Issue 07, November 2020 75 Mani Bhavan was converted into a Gandhi museum in 1955.

PREFACE This subject was chosen with a view to recording the work done by women in various phases of the freedom struggle from 1857 to 1947. In the course of my study I found that women of India, when given an opportunity, did not lag behind in any field, whether political, administrative or educational.

  • 1. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WHERE LIQUOR IS BEING SERVED? a Gentleman Asks in Sorrow:1 I Am Not Aware of Liquor Having Been Served at the Garden Party
    1. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WHERE LIQUOR IS BEING SERVED? A gentleman asks in sorrow:1 I am not aware of liquor having been served at the garden party. However, I would have attended it even if I had known it. A banquet was held on the same day. I attended it even though liquor was served there. I was not going to eat anything at either of these two functions. At the dinner a lady was sitting on one side and a gentleman on the other side of me. After the lady had helped herself with the bottle it would come to me. It would have to pass me in order to reach the gentleman. It was my duty to pass it on to the latter. I deliberately performed my duty. I could have easily refused to pass it saying that I would not touch a bottle of liquor. This, however, I considered to be improper. Two questions arise now. Is it proper for persons like me to go where drinks are served ? If the answer is in the affirmative, is it proper to pass a bottle of liquor from one person to another? So far as I am concerned the answer to both the questions is in the affirmative. It could be otherwise in the case of others. In such matters, I know of no royal road and, if there were any, it would be that one should altogether shun such parties and dinners. If we impose any restrictions with regard to liquor, why not impose them with regard to meat, etc.? If we do so with the latter, why not with regard to other items which we regard as unfeatable? Hence if we look upon attending such parties as harmful in certain circumstances, the best way seems to give up going to all such parties.

  • Gandhi Wields the Weapon of Moral Power (Three Case Stories)
    Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power (Three Case Stories) By Gene Sharp Foreword by: Dr. Albert Einstein First Published: September 1960 Printed & Published by: Navajivan Publishing House Ahmedabad 380 014 (INDIA) Phone: 079 – 27540635 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.navajivantrust.org Gandhi wields the weapon of moral power FOREWORD By Dr. Albert Einstein This book reports facts and nothing but facts — facts which have all been published before. And yet it is a truly- important work destined to have a great educational effect. It is a history of India's peaceful- struggle for liberation under Gandhi's guidance. All that happened there came about in our time — under our very eyes. What makes the book into a most effective work of art is simply the choice and arrangement of the facts reported. It is the skill pf the born historian, in whose hands the various threads are held together and woven into a pattern from which a complete picture emerges. How is it that a young man is able to create such a mature work? The author gives us the explanation in an introduction: He considers it his bounden duty to serve a cause with all his ower and without flinching from any sacrifice, a cause v aich was clearly embodied in Gandhi's unique personality: to overcome, by means of the awakening of moral forces, the danger of self-destruction by which humanity is threatened through breath-taking technical developments. The threatening downfall is characterized by such terms as "depersonalization" regimentation “total war"; salvation by the words “personal responsibility together with non-violence and service to mankind in the spirit of Gandhi I believe the author to be perfectly right in his claim that each individual must come to a clear decision for himself in this important matter: There is no “middle ground ".
