Children and Childhood in the Madras Presidency, 1919-1943 Catriona Ellis Doctor of Philosophy History, Classics and Archaeology The University of Edinburgh 2016 1 Abstract This thesis interrogates the emergence of a universal modern idea of childhood in the Madras Presidency between 1920 and 1942. It considers the construction and uses of ‘childhood’ as a conceptual category and the ways in which this informed intervention in the lives of children, particularly in the spheres of education and juvenile justice. Against a background of calls for national self-determination, the thesis considers elite debates about childhood as specifically ‘Indian’, examining the ways in which ‘the child’ emerged in late colonial South India as an object to be reformed and as a ‘human becoming’ or future citizen of an independent nation.

  • Indian Civil Service Examinations and Dalit Intervention in British India
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Indian Civil Service Examinations and Dalit Intervention in British India STALIN RAJANGAM A B RAJASEKARAN Stalin Rajangam ([email protected]) is a Dalit writer based in Madurai. A B Rajasekaran ([email protected]) is an intellectual property attorney based in Chennai. Vol. 55, Issue No. 12, 21 Mar, 2020 During the independence movement in the mid-19th century, the Paraiyar Mahajana Sabha from Tamil Nadu prevailed upon the British government to reject the demand from the Indian elite to simultaneously hold exams for the Indian Civil Services in India in addition to London. Dalit organisations at that time felt that such a move would only enable the upper- caste Indians to monopolise the bureaucracy in India. Even as the nationalist consciousness was emerging during the Indian freedom movement, there were countermovements within and outside the ambit of the freedom struggle. Their demands, especially from socially disadvantaged groups, would seem anti-national today, or at variance with the objectives of the freedom movement. But, it is essentially due to these movements that modern India is what it is today. Tamil Nadu has been a pioneer in the social justice movement, besides its contribution to the freedom struggle. Dalits were the first to form mass organisations, based on modern social justice ideas, to secure social and political rights in Tamil Nadu, as early as the second half of the 19th century (Geetha and Rajadurai 2008: 54). These ideas continue to reverberate even in the political sphere of modern-day Tamil Nadu. The Dalits perceived the ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 colonial government as a benefactor in their struggle, and found ways to secure such benefits from the colonial authorities that would eventually relieve them from the oppressive caste system.

  • Womanhood and Spirituality: a Journey Between Transcendence and Tradition
    Womanhood and Spirituality: A Journey between Transcendence and Tradition USHA S. NAYAR This article focuses on how women in the past and women in contemporary India have chosen the path of spirituality, and how Indian culture has positioned women vis-a-vis spirituality. It explores female spirituality in a patriarchal para­ digm through women like Sita, Meera, Savitri and Kannagi, who faced humilia­ tion and hostility, but who tread the path of single-minded devotion to their principles and thus combined the feminine principle of grace with tenacity, stead­ fastness of purpose, vision and character. These prototypes inspire and guide the women in India even today and the article illustrates this through contemporary profiles in courage. The article stresses on the fact that in the Hindu pantheon of gods and goddesses, every god has a goddess, and as the form of Ardhanaareeshwara, the fusion of Shiva and Shakti in one body, denotes, male and female principles work together as equal partners in the universe. Other in­ stances reiterate that in ancient India, women occupied a very important position. While analysing the spirituality of women as a cultural expression, the study un­ derlines the fact that the Hindu version of the Mother image has manifested itself in the vision of Bharat Mata and underlines the fact that spirituality mediates rela­ tionships. It heals, provides succour to the emotionally needy, physically abused, and rebuilds fundamental trust in oneself. The modern approach to spirituality, according to this study, defines it as a means of reaching equilibrium or harmony through gender equality. Prof. Usha S.

  • Ambedkar and Political Reservation
    Source : www.indianexpress.com Date : 2020-08-17 AMBEDKAR AND POLITICAL RESERVATION Relevant for: Developmental Issues | Topic: Rights & Welfare of STs, SCs, and OBCs - Schemes & their Performance, Mechanisms, Laws Institutions and Bodies In an interview to this paper, Prakash Ambedkar, grandson of B R Ambedkar, (IE, July 27) said, “Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar had envisaged reservation for SC/STs in Lok Sabha and state Assembly constituencies for just 10 years.” This is an erroneous interpretation and shows lack of understanding of Ambedkar’s ideology and his idea of political representation initiated 100 years ago, in 1919. In the run up for political representation of the oppressed millions of untouchables in India, Ambedkar’s efforts, along with those of the nominated untouchable members of the legislative councils in Bombay, Madras and Calcutta Presidencies, bore fruit in the 1920s. The colonial state was forced to nominate two members from among untouchables to the Round Table Conference in 1930 to state their position in the constitutional process which eventually led to the framing of the Government of India Act, 1935. Ambedkar and his colleague from Madras, Rettamalai Srinivasan, were able to convince the first Round Table deliberations in 1930 to accept elected representation through reserved seats and separate electorate method. When Mahatma Gandhi attended the second Round Table Conference in 1931, he initially opposed any representation by electoral process for the untouchables and later opposed the method of election, separate electorate (which was available to Muslims and other minorities). Gandhi’s opposition to the idea of separate electorate was that untouchables are an intrinsic part of the Hindu society.
