A DANGEROUS WORLD It is needless to dwell upon the disconcerting acceptance of the fact indicated by this title. A gas-mask for everyone, conscription for military and industrial war services, storage of foods, unlimited expenditure upon armaments. are accepted by the overwhelming majority of people here and on the Continent as indicative of a general war regarded as an early probability, almost a certainty. History is the product of force and chance, a will to war brought into action by some frontier fncident or other opportunity. While no people wants war, every people thinks it may " break out "—a phrase itself expressive of irrational causation. Can nothing be done to prevent it? For though no people wants war, every people can be forced into what their national propaganda will make them believe to be a necessity of national defence. This urgent peril can neither be understood nor guarded against until its common causation is rightly grasped. Though self-assertion and a fighting " instinct " may belong to most men's inborn equipment, or be educated by environment, they would not carry modern peoples into collective carnage, unless they were associated with the economic interests and necessities of powerful political groups, the owning ruling classes in the several nations. For war is not the only danger which oppresses modern man. The periodic slumps and depressions, with their intolerable burdens and wastes of unemployment, are an equal testimony to the irrationality and the inhumanity of our civilisation. But what, it may be asked, is the connection between war and unemployment? At first sight they may seem to be opposed. For both war itself and its preliminary process of armed preparation furnish paid occupations to those who otherwise may be unemployed. It is true that these occupations can hardly be termed economic. 3 The production and consumption they provide consist in the destruction alike of wealth and life. The large sums devoted to our rearmament from taxation and borrowing are taken, in a period of reviving prosperity, from money that would otherwise have been spent on making more consumptive goods or more capital goods for enlarged production. They constitute a substantial reduction of the real income of the nation and, by reason of the rise of prices they cause, of the real wages of the workers. These truths, however, even if accepted by our war-preparers, do not convince. For, it is said here, as in Germany, there are critical occasions when butter must be sacrificed to bullets. " We don't want to fight, but . " Why must we7 Because "national honour " is involved in a " fight for markets." The very notion that markets can be objects of and contention seems at first sight ridiculous. Why should nations find a deficiency of markets in their own country or abroad? Why should they put on tariffs to keep out foreign goods, and employ all their forces, financial, diplomatic and ultimately military, to secure " their share" of the world's markets? No nation can gain by restricting the freedom of access to the resources of the world which will enable them to be put to their best use and increase the real income of everyone by free processes of exchange. This free trade logic is irrefragable—but somehow its rationality does not prevail. Why? Because it assumes that consumers are always ready in large enough numbers to purchase and consume all that can be produced. Now this is not the fact. Production is held up periodically by reason of an insufficiency of markets. For though everything that is or can be produced belongs to somebody, who can buy it for consumption or exchange it for something else he would consume, this does not cover a situation where standards of consumption do not rise to keep pace with improved technique of productive processes in manufacture, agriculture and transport. For the classes in each nation which profit most out of these improvements are as a rule satisfied with their current standards of living, spend little more in profitable times, but save for investment a larger proportion of their increased income. So long as they use these savings to pay workers to make more plant, raw materials and other capital goods, the trouble is postponed. But when it is seen that there exists an excess of producing power beyond the limit of profitable trade, then comes a stoppage of production and employment, especially in the fundamental industries and the export trades. This recurrent deficiency of markets, home and foreign, is the direct cause of these barriers and hostilities in trade which are a direct denial of its co-operative nature and which are the secret feeders of international hostility. Each nation seeks to keep its own markets for itself and to keep out foreigners, while at the same time it uses its political power to get foreign markets away from its foreign com- petitors. This trouble arises from a chronic maldistribution of the national income, due to advantages in bargaining which put too large a share of income in the hands of the numerically smaller owning and ruling classes, too small a share in the hands of the larger working classes. Thus economic insecurity and international hostility are fed from the same vicious source. J. A. Housow. PROFESSOR T. H.

    Excerpt • Temple University Press Introduction An Indian in Washington India and America are located on opposite sides of the earth; therefore it is natural for America to think that we walk upside down, and for us to think that Americans walk upside down. —Pandita Ramabai, The Peoples of the United States (1889) The Sufferance of the Foreigner n late September 1905, the Indian nationalist Lajpat Rai had gathered with a group of tourists in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, when a guide directed Itheir attention to the works of art surrounding them. Plastered on the ceil- ing was The Apotheosis of Washington, a fresco featuring the first U.S. presi- dent on a celestial throne, flanked on each side by figures from classical Greco-Roman and nouveau American mythology (Figure I.1). Just below, The Frieze of American History encircled the rotunda with its selective time- line, and at eye level were enormous neoclassical canvases depicting scenes from the American Revolution and the conquest of the Americas. From ceil- ing to floor, the artwork of the Capitol presented a set of interwoven images that moved seamlessly from the mythological to the historical, containing within it, it would seem, a visual argument: The United States was the heir apparent of Western empire. At the dawn of the new century, as America extended its imperial reach across the globe, who would have thought to see otherwise? In Washington, DC, during a three-week tour of the East Coast, Lajpat Rai discussed his visit in an editorial for the Panjabee, an English-language weekly based out of Lahore.

    CONTRIBUTIONS OF LALA HAR DAYAL AS AN INTELLECTUAL AND REVOLUTIONARY ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF ^ntiat ai pijtl000pi{g IN }^ ^ HISTORY By MATT GAOR CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2007 ,,» '*^d<*'/. ' ABSTRACT India owes to Lala Har Dayal a great debt of gratitude. What he did intotality to his mother country is yet to be acknowledged properly. The paradox ridden Har Dayal - a moody idealist, intellectual, who felt an almost mystical empathy with the masses in India and America. He kept the National Independence flame burning not only in India but outside too. In 1905 he went to England for Academic pursuits. But after few years he had leave England for his revolutionary activities. He stayed in America and other European countries for 25 years and finally returned to England where he wrote three books. Har Dayal's stature was so great that its very difficult to put him under one mould. He was visionary who all through his life devoted to Boddhi sattava doctrine, rational interpretation of religions and sharing his erudite knowledge for the development of self culture. The proposed thesis seeks to examine the purpose of his returning to intellectual pursuits in England. Simultaneously the thesis also analyses the contemporary relevance of his works which had a common thread of humanism, rationalism and scientific temper. Relevance for his ideas is still alive as it was 50 years ago. He was true a patriotic who dreamed independence for his country. He was pioneer for developing science in laymen and scientific temper among youths.

Of considerable metrical 1-3 intricacy, this movement derives harmonically and melodically from a four-note motif. 1st Movement: Allegro moderato 15’39” Marked , the slow movement is a set of variations which unfolds in a 2nd Movement: Adagio molto 11’32” flowing 3/2 time. Inward-looking, this is the concerto’s emotional core, its wistful opening 3rd Movement: Allegro molto 10’19” for piano establishing a mood of restrained lamentation whilst the shattering brass Malcolm Binns, piano motifs introduce a more agonized form of grief, close to raging despair.

    Communism and Religion in North India, 1920–47

    "To the Masses." Communism and Religion in North India, 1920–47 Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor philosophiae (Dr. phil.) eingereicht an der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Patrick Hesse Präsident der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrik Olbertz Dekanin der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät Prof. Dr. Julia von Blumenthal Gutachter: 1. Michael Mann 2. Dietrich Reetz Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 20. Juli 2015 Abstract Among the eldest of its kind in Asia, the Communist Party of India (CPI) pioneered the spread of Marxist politics beyond the European arena. Influenced by both Soviet revolutionary practice and radical nationalism in British India, it operated under conditions not provided for in Marxist theory—foremost the prominence of religion and community in social and political life. The thesis analyzes, first, the theoretical and organizational ‘overhead’ of the CPI in terms of the position of religion in a party communist hierarchy of emancipation. It will therefore question the works of Marx, Engels, and Lenin on the one hand, and Comintern doctrines on the other. Secondly, it scrutinizes the approaches and strategies of the CPI and individual members, often biographically biased, to come to grips with the subcontinental environment under the primacy of mass politics. Thirdly, I discuss communist vistas on revolution on concrete instances including (but not limited to) the Gandhian non-cooperation movement, the Moplah rebellion, the subcontinental proletariat, the problem of communalism, and assertion of minority identities. I argue that the CPI established a pattern of vacillation between qualified rejection and conditional appropriation of religion that loosely constituted two diverging revolutionary paradigms characterizing communist practice from the Soviet outset: Western and Eastern.

Ludwig was the singer and actor; Franz was his father, the Director of the Cologne Conservatoire and conductor of the Gurzenich Concerts. He was there at Diisseldorf and promised to consider Gerontius for a concert in 1902, but I cannot trace that it ever took place. We need to consider Ludwig Wullner, for he would sing Gerontius again on two further key occasions, the second Diisseldorf performance at the Lower Rhine Festival in May 1902, and then in London at Westminster Cathedral in June 1903, as well as the Liverpool premiere in March 1903.

    “If I Should Die, Think Only This of Me” Songs from the World At

    “If I should die, think only this of me” Songs from the World at War Patrick Klink Throughout human history, war has been both a plague on society and a driving influence on creativity and the arts. The wars of the twentieth century, particularly the world wars, did a great deal to show both sides of this duality on a very large scale. Fascism and communism in Europe opened the door to massive and unprecedented censorship and repression of minority groups, artists, and all dissenting points of view. Fortunately, however, the arts community responded, as it so often does, by turning large-scale disaster into beauty that resonates into the disparate corners of downtrodden societies. Many poets and composers served in battle in World War I, or in resistance movements in World War II, fighting for nationalistic identity and the right to continue practicing their craft amongst a free-thinking populous. Artistic reactions to the world wars took on many forms, from both pro- and anti-government propaganda to xenophobic caricature to solemn prayers and elegies to lost countrymen. I have endeavored to assemble a recital program that represents a wide range of perspectives from poets and composers who had been affected by war. Included are settings of poems from the fifteenth and sixteenth century all the way through excerpts from an operetta co-written by a composer and a playwright who were both on the State Department’s blacklist; there is a setting of a recollection from a Civil War battlefield and a setting of a poem about a “disappeared” artist by a poet who was later himself disappeared.

Indian scholars have largely reiterated the role of revolutionaries in foreign lands, however, with an India-centric dialogue. While they do broadly accommodate the role played by Indian freedom fighters beyond the boundaries of British India, they do perhaps tend to be partial and limited. Indeed, inclusive in the narratives is an international arena serving as a backdrop to plot the multiple locations on a global map where actors championed their anti-colonial cause. Moreover, probably not surprisingly, although this viewpoint explains the extensive reach of the independence movement as a whole it is inconsiderate in incorporating the transnational dimension. Specifically scholarship of the Ghadr movement is a classic example that has fallen prey to such marginality. Almost every piece of work on Indian revolutionaries away from their ancestral home discusses the Ghadr movement in the US, the conspiracy theory of the Indo-German collaboration, or the radical Indo-Irish connections on American soil. Some Indian works provide compelling evidential source of foundation for tracing the Indian revolutionary movement beyond Indian boundaries. １） They have underplayed the diasporic contribution toward the independence movement, by treating actors as mere Indian expatriates who had left Indian shores rather than viewing them as a part of a proactive community in their adopted homes.
