  • The Revolt of 1857
    1A THE REVOLT OF 1857 1. Objectives: After going through this unit the student wilt be able:- a) To understand the background of the Revolt 1857. b) To explain the risings of Hill Tribes. c) To understand the causes of The Revolt of 1857. d) To understand the out Break and spread of the Revolt of 1857. e) To explain the causes of the failure of the Revolt of 1857. 2. Introduction: The East India Company's rule from 1757 to 1857 had generated a lot of discontent among the different sections of the Indian people against the British. The end of the Mughal rule gave a psychological blow to the Muslims many of whom had enjoyed position and patronage under the Mughal and other provincial Muslim rulers. The commercial policy of the company brought ruin to the artisans and craftsman, while the divergent land revenue policy adopted by the Company in different regions, especially the permanent settlement in the North and the Ryotwari settlement in the south put the peasants on the road of impoverishment and misery. 3. Background: The Revolt of 1857 was a major upheaval against the British Rule in which the disgruntled princes, to disconnected sepoys and disillusioned elements participated. However, it is important to note that right from the inception of the East India Company there had been resistance from divergent section in different parts of the sub continent. This resistance offered by different tribal groups, peasant and religious factions remained localized and ill organized. In certain cases the British could putdown these uprisings easily, in other cases the struggle was prolonged resulting in heavy causalities.

  • Zamindars and Mahajans
    Chapter III Popular Politics and the IVIinor Political Parties: 1920s to 1939 The Non cooperation movement drastically changed the character of the national movement in India. The constituency of national politics went far beyond its elite led national confines and Mahatma Gandhi's arrival on the political scene introduced several new dimensions to the nationalist politics. A crucial interplay of different factors laid the foundation of a new kind of politics challenging both the internal and external enemies. The involbment of new social groups in the national movement widened the scopes for searching a new political order articulating new socio economic issues which had never taken into consideration previously. The decision to merge Non Cooperation movement with the IGiilafat causes provided the base for organizing a broad mass movement with support jfrom both the Hindus and the Muslims inspite of several limitations. During and aftermath of the Non Cooperation movement the Congress leadership successfully promoted the causes of popular misery with a new language of political strategies and from this point the hitherto undefined factors figured the subsequent courses of national movement in India. In the pursuit of 'discovering' as of 'making' the nation' the Congress leadership found new constituencies of support which projected the narrative of a popular politics, more significant in terms of its hidden potentialities to capture a huge political audience. 145 By accommodating the peripheral social groups into the struggle, the Congress leaders had tried to translate the demands of these groups into one homogenous anti British movement.^ Such a mobilization regardless of all vertical and horizontal differences of Indian society appeared to be risky in terms of maintaining the power relations from a multi class political platform.

  • President Mr………
    CONTRIBUTION OF THE ORISSA HIGH COURT TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIAN LAW ************* Justice B. P. Das, Judge Orissa High Court …….……. Orissa was within Bengal Presidency which included Assam and Bihar and Orissa. In 1905 Lord Curzon partitioned Bengal into two parts and a new province was born with Assam and Eastern Bengal. Bihar and Orissa were retained with the remaining parts of Bengal as province of Bengal. But subsequently the two parts of Bengal were again united. Bihar and Orissa were separated from Bengal Presidency to form new province of Bihar. By the notification dated March 22, 1912 a new province of Bihar and Orissa was formed. But the province of Bihar and Orissa was kept under the jurisdiction of Calcutta High Court. On February 9, 1916 the King of England in exercise of the powers under section 113 of the Government of India Act, 1915 issued Letters Patent constituting the High Court of Patna. Orissa was placed under the jurisdiction of Patna High Court. Thereafter Circuit Court of Patna High Court for Orissa was created 2 and its first sitting was held on May 18, 1916. After a long lapse of time, on April 1, 1936 Orissa got her statehood but no separate High Court was provided. After demand of the people of Orissa and more particularly the lawyers and the litigant public, the Government of India on April 30, 1948, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 229 (1) of the Government of India Act, 1935 issued Orissa High Court Order, 1948 declaring that from the 5th day of July, 1948 “there shall be a Court of the Province of Orissa which shall be a Court of Record.” Subsequently by Orissa High Court (Amendment) Order, 1948, the date of establishment of the High Court was changed from 5th day of July to 26th day of July, 1948.
