Thursday, 26th February, 1931. _ The Assembly met in the Assembly Chamber of the Council House at Eleven of the Clock, Mr. Pre&ident in the Chair. STATEMENT OF BUSINESS. The Honourable Sir George Bailly (Leader of the House): With your permission, Sir, I desire to make a statement as to the probable course of Government business in the week beginning March, the 2nd. On that day, the first busine~ before the House will be a motion for the election of Members to t,he Indian ResE-arch Fund Association. The next business will be the election of Members to the Central Advisory Council for Rail- ways, and this will be followed by the election of Members to thE' Stand- ing Committee on Emigratio~. On the conclusion of this business. the House will proceed to the discussion of a motion in connection with the White Paper issued on the Round Table Conference. The term& of the motion will be placed on the agenda paper. The House will not sit on Tuesday, the Brd, and Wednesday, the 4th, which 'are gazetted holidays for Holi. Thursday, the 5th, snd Friday, the 6th, have been appointed for the general discus~ion of the Dudget. As at preElent arranged, there will be no sitting of the House on Saturday, the 7th. THE RAILWAY BUDGE1'-LIST OF DEMAND~contd. DEMAND No. I.-RAILWAY BOARD--Contd. Indiani8ation Policy in the Railways. JIr. President: The HOUEle will resume further considerati('n of the cut motion by Mr. Rangs. Iyer, No. 17. )(aulvi Muhammad Yakub (Rohilkund and Kumaon Divisions: Muham- madan Rural): I' do not want to make a long speech on this cut. My purpose in participating in the discussion of this motion is only to as&o- ciate mYElelf with the motive underlying the cut. It should not be consi- dered that we, the MUSBalma.n&, who always press for their share in the public SerVICE'S are not anxious for any general advance in the WHy of Indianisation. In fact, we heartily support this motion for Indianisation, and I think that we, the Mussalmans, cannot get our proper share unless Indianisation is carried on in the services. I will add one word in regard. 1;(' the threat which was uttered by the Leader of t.he HOUEle, that. if we go on carrying cuts in the extravagant expenditure of the railways we may not have the improvements for which these motions are passed. The Honourable Sir George BalDy (Member for Commerce and Rail- ways): May I say, in order to make m~' meaning perfectly clear, that no number of 1oo-rupee cuts will make the slighteM; difference. It was Ii question of a substantial cut in the Demand, and I did not mean in any way to convey any suggestion of pique as regards what happened. It is purely a question of subEitance, whether if a certr.in large sum is taken ( 1297 ) A 1298 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. r26TH FEB. 1931. [Sir George Rainy.] away from 'the Budget", we shall have enough money to do all that we should like to do. Maulvi Muhammad Yakub: I certainly think that a big administration like the railways, in which, as has been pointed out, there is so much extravagance, can spare a lakh of rupees from the monie51 that they spend (In their luxuries. As I said yesterday, economies should be made on iuxuries ~and not on necessities. The Leader of the Houfle thought that the Mussalmans are a docile and weak people, and whatever you mav do with them they will not raise their hands, and therefore he hurled • this ~hreat at the Mus5l8lmans. Probably, if it were the case of a stronger mterest, he would not have used that threat. With these remarks, I associate myself with the motion moved by my Honourable friend. The Rew. J. C. Chatterjee (Nominated Non-Official): I tliink that these debates on Indianisation, which come up like a hardy annual from ;) ear to year, have f1erved a very useful purpose. -There is no doubt that they have contributed very largely to the change of heart in the Railway Board and those who have the patronage in the railways. In these days the question of Indianisation needs no argument. It has been accepted lD principle by the Honourable the Railway Member and by his officers, .and it has been urged by this House year after year. I believe that there is no doubt whatever that the' Railway Member is, of all persons, mOllt sincere in his attitude on this matter. He has tried to do his best to ('arry out Indiani5lation as far as he could, and I can say the same thing (Jf Mr. Hayman, narndy. that he has alr.o shown a very sincere desire to carry out the wishes of the House in this direction.

In the true sense the Europeans were the harbinger in this field. Assam by far the foremost region in tea production was closely followed by Bengal whose tea producing areas included the hill areas and the plains of the Terai in Darjeeling district, the Dooars in Jalpaiguri district and Chittagong.

    Notes 1. Introduction 1. ‘Diaras and Chars often first appear as thin slivers of sand. On this is deposited layers of silt till a low bank is consolidated. Tamarisk bushes, a spiny grass, establish a foot-hold and accretions as soon as the river recedes in winter; the river flows being considerably seasonal. For several years the Diara and Char may be cultivable only in winter, till with a fresh flood either the level is raised above the normal flood level or the accretion is diluvated completely’ (Haroun er Rashid, Geography of Bangladesh (Dhaka, 1991), p. 18). 2.

    7392P Q16 IMPERIAL TECHNOLOGY-PT.Qxp Royal a 156 X 234 Mm Times New Roman

    Imperial Technology and ‘Native’ Agency This book explores the impact of railways on colonial Indian society from the commencement of railway operations in the mid-nineteenth to the early decades of the twentieth century. The book represents a historiographical departure. Using new archival evidence as well as travelogues written by Indian railway travellers in Bengali and Hindi, this book suggests that the impact of railways on colonial Indian society were more heterogeneous and complex than anticipated either by India’s colonial railway builders or currently assumed by post-colonial scholars. At a related level, the book argues that this complex outcome of the impact of railways on colonial Indian society was a product of the interaction between the colonial context of technology transfer and the Indian railway passengers who mediated this process at an everyday level. In other words, this book claims that the colonised ‘natives’ were not bystanders in this process of imposition of an imperial technology from above. On the contrary, Indians, both as railway passengers and otherwise influenced the nature and the direction of the impact of an oft-celebrated ‘tool of Empire’. The historiographical departures suggested in the book are based on examining railway spaces as social spaces – a methodological index influenced by Henri Lefebvre’s idea of social spaces as means of control, domination and power.

  • Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India

    Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India

    A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused.

    ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT - 2014-15 BRIEF HISTORY OF N.F. RAILWAY The tea, oil and coal industries were set up in Upper Assam area around the 1860s and 70s. Transportation of the produce was by river routes down the Brahmaputra. A need was felt for construction of a Railway from the tea and oil producing centres in the hinterland to the river port at Dibrugarh. The Assam Railways and Trading Company Limited which was incorporated in July 1881, took up the task of construction of the first railway line - and the first Metre Gauge train in the Northeast region chugged from the river ghat in Dibrugarh to Jeypore road on 1st May 1882. By February, 1884 the railway line had reached the coalfields of Margherita and by May, 1884 another line from Makum to Doomdooma was constructed. This network formed what was known as the Dibru Sadiya Railway (DSR). About this time, an overseas market had been created for tea and jute, the principal products of Assam and Eastern Bengal. The Assam Bengal Railway (ABR) was formed in 1892 to connect the port of Chittagong by rail to upper Assam and provide an outlet for these products for the overseas markets. The railway also expected to pick up some of the already existing road traffic between Dhaka and Chittagong leading to the steady economic development of the area. The railway line from the port of Chittagong to Tinsukia (Makum) was constructed in three phases – from Chittagong to Badarpur with branch lines to Silchar and Laksham, from Badarpur to Lumding through the North Cachar Hills and in the third phase from Lumding further North to connect the DSR at Makum.
