  • Enhancing Security: Lessons from History and Geography
    Monday, January 10, 2011/ Second Annual Saifuddin Kitchlew Lecture/ Jamia/ Edward Said Hall, 2.30 pm Enhancing Security: Lessons from History and Geography By Rajmohan Gandhi Cherishing as I do my old relationships with Jamia, with Professor Sanjoy Hazarika, and with Toufique Kitchlew, son of Dr Saifuddin Kitchlew, this occasion means a great deal to me. In the 1920s, my father, Devadas Gandhi, taught at Jamia – I believe on the Karol Bagh campus; and until his death in 1957 he maintained warm friendships with Jamia’s staff and faculty. I don’t want to speak of the precious relationship that his father the Mahatma had with Jamia. Precious things are not always easy to speak of. As for myself, I have had the privilege of knowing both Zakir Sahib and his remarkable biographer and Jamia colleague, Mujeeb Sahib, and of attending or taking part in some of Jamia’s events. And as for Sanjoy, having known him and his family in Assam ever since he entered his teens, I have felt great pride ever since in his numerous accomplishments, some of them pioneering ones. In the mid-1950s, soon after I had left my teens, Dr Saifuddin Kitchlew, after whom this lecture series is named, was famous as an international figure in a movement to bring peace between the USA and the Soviet Union. I did not have the privilege of meeting him then or later, and it was only after Dr Kitchlew’s demise in 1963 that I learnt, in the course of my studies of the freedom movement, of his extraordinary life as a boy of Kashmiri origin in Amritsar, as a student in Europe, as hero of Jallianwala in 1919, as a stalwart figure year after year in the Indian National Congress, and as one in a chain of INC presidents during months of severe British repression in 1932.

Mahatma Gandhi began his experiments with Satyagraha against the oppressive European indigo planters at Champaran in Bihar in 1917. In the next year he launched another Satyagraha at Kheda in Gujarat in support of the peasants who were not able to pay the land tax due to failure of crops. During this struggle, Sardar Vallabhai Patel emerged as one of the trusted followers of Gandhi. In 1918, Gandhi undertook a fast unto death for the cause of Ahmedabad Mill Workers and finally the mill owners conceded the just demands of the workers.

  • Khilafat Movement and the Province of Sindh
    KHILAFAT MOVEMENT AND THE PROVINCE OF SINDH Dr. Nasreen Afzal* KHILAFAT MOVEMENT AND THE PROVINCE OF SINDH ABSTRACT The Khilafat Movement started by the Muslims of India is directly related to the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire of Turkey, the only Muslim power of the world during the twentieth century, at the hands of different European nations and particularly against the hostile attitude of Britain towards Turkey . Like other areas of India Muslim s of Sindh played significant role in this movement. This article deals with the different efforts of Muslims of Sindh along with the Muslims of other areas for saving khlifat. Key words: Non violence non co-operation movement, Congress, Fatwas, Hijrat * Assistant Professor, Department of History , University of Karachi, Pakistan 51 Jhss, Vol. 1, No.1 , January to June 2010 The institution of Khilafat began after the death of Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) in 632 AD when Hazrat Abu Bakr, who was the successor of the Holy Prophet, adopted the title of Khaltfatu-Rasool-i-illah , successor of Prophet of God. 1 The successor of Hazrat Abu Bakr, Hazrat Umar simplified the title to Khaltfah 2 and the Caliph (An English version of Khaltfah ) became temporal and spiritual head of the entire Muslims of the World. The first four caliphs were all selected democratically. However, after the death of Hazrat Ali, Amir Mu’awiyah laid down the foundation of Umayyad Dynasty, which changed the nature of Khilafat from democratic institution to monarchy. Umayyads and the rulers of the successive Muslim dynasties such as Abbasids, Fatimid (Egypt) and finally Ottomans (Turkey) continued to use the title of Caliph as used by four early Caliphs and further strengthening the institution of Khilafat, as a result Caliph became the symbolic head of the Muslim rule, even outside of Arabia.

In news Hundred years of Rowlatt Act and Jalianwala Bagh massacre Placing it in the syllabus Modern Indian History Dimensions Rowlatt act provisions Rowlatt satyagraha – course Jallianwala Bagh massacre British response – Hunter commission report Indian response – Khilafath and Non-Cooperation Movement Content Rowlatt act provisions The ‘ Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act of 1919, ‘ popularly referred to as the ‘ Rowlatt Act, ‘ was enacted by the British to discourage Indians from rising against them by suppressing revolutionary groups and depriving Indians of their right to personal expression and liberty. On basis of the report of the S.A.T. Rowlatt committee, it replaced the Defence of India Act (1915) instituted during the First World War with a permanent law that gave the British more power over Indians. Following are the main provisions of the act: The ‘Rowlatt Act’ envisaged the arrest and deportation of any person on mere suspicion of sedition and revolt. It allowed the declaration of possession of treasonable literature as a punishable offence. Allowed the British to imprison protestors without a trial of those arrested. It also provided for the press to be controlled even more strictly. Arrest without warrant: It gave sweeping powers to the police to search premises and arrest anyone merely on suspicion without needing a warrant.

  • Nationalist Politics in the British Punjab: an Alliance Between Muslim League Parliamentary Board and Majlis-I- Ahrar-I-Islam
    Generated by Foxit PDF Creator © Foxit Software http://www.foxitsoftware.com For evaluation only. Nationalist Politics in the British Punjab: An Alliance between Muslim League Parliamentary Board and Majlis-i- Ahrar-i-Islam Samina Awan Abstract Early twentieth century witnessed the emergence of new political leadership which influenced the masses in the Punjab. The resultant awareness of British oppression led to the formation of many political parties including the Majis-i-Ahrar-i-Islam (MAI). The MAI not only gave the Muslims in Punjab a platform to raise their voice against the British policies but also provided them with an alternative to the existing political parties such as the Indian National Congress and the Unionist Party, with which they were disenchanted. The MAI entered into an alliance with the All India Muslim League in 1936. Due to several factors this alliance did not last very long but the interaction of the MAI intelligentsia with the AIML had an impact on the course of events. The scholarly debate on MAI’s political domain as well as its interaction with AIML was never explored in the annals of Muslim Punjab objectively. This article analyzes the dynamics of the MAI- AIML coalition and the reasons behind the failure of this alliance. The article aims to study the MAI as a popular party of Muslim masses in Punjab and employs the model of ‘Subaltern Studies’ to analyze the socio-political contribution of the party.

  • 1. SATYAGRAHA LEAFLET NO. 11 May 1, 1919 BROTHERS and SISTERS, Letters Continue to Pour in Containing Complaints About the So- Called Inactivity Regarding Mr
    1. SATYAGRAHA LEAFLET NO. 11 May 1, 1919 BROTHERS AND SISTERS, Letters continue to pour in containing complaints about the so- called inactivity regarding Mr. Horniman’s deportation. Most of these letters are anonymous. One of them states that it does not matter even if violence be the result of our holding large meetings, etc. It adds that we shall gain nothing without violence and that without it we shall not be able to bring Mr. Horniman back to India. It is simple enough to give a reply to the foregoing along the lines of satyagraha: If violence be the condition of Mr. Horniman’s return to India, then satyagrahis have to be content with separation. But there is absolutely no fear of any such result from non-violence. We can certainly bring about his return by satyagraha. Indeed we can hasten it by satyagraha alone—satyagraha consists at times in civil disobedience and other times in civil obedience. It consists at times in declaring hartal, or holding large public meetings or arranging processions and other times in refraining from any one or all of these things. Satyagrahis may not do a single thing that would bring about or encourage violence. At the present moment people are in a ferment, they are angry and it is likely that large meetings, process- ions, hartals may increase excitement and even end in violence. Both the people and the police are liable to err and both may have to suffer for the mistake of either. It is therefore clear that satyagrahis ought to prevent such untoward results by every means at their disposal.

The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, took place on 13 April 1919, when Acting Brigadier- General Reginald Dyer ordered troops of the British Army to fire their rifles into a crowd of unarmed Indian civilians in Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar, Punjab, killing at least 379 people and injuring over 1,200 other people.

It is less well known that eleven days prior to the Bandung Conference, a conference was convened in New Delhi that should be considered its unofficial counterpart. In sharp contrast to Bandung, which was not open to the public, the nongovernmental nature of the Delhi conference enabled thousands of people to attend. Officially known as the Conference of Asian Countries on the Relaxation of International Tension (CRIT), it was heavily influenced by the growing peace movement of the early Cold War years.1 Over the next five years, the Delhi gathering’s success in terms of attendance, *This article would not have been possible without the many discussions on 1950s internationalism within the “Afro-Asian Networks Collective.” Thanks also to the participants and organizers of the ICS workshop “India, China, and the Emergence of Post- War Post-Colonial Asia, 1945–50” in New Delhi; the staff of the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library; the LIAS History working group at Leiden; and the (Il)liberal Internationalisms workshop in Vienna, particularly Glenda Sluga and Natasha Wheatley.
