1922, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929-30 1922] KHILAFAT & MAHATMA GANDHI’S MESSAGE 145 1922 Pages 131-32, Para 104. Bombay City, January 18th.—The Working Committee of the All-India Congress Committee met at Gandhi's House, Laburnum Road, in the afternoon of the 17th instant. M. K. Gandhi presided. M. K. Gandhi left Bombay for Ahmedabad on 17th January 1922. 146 RUMOURS OF GANDHI’S ARREST [1922 Page320, Para 271(2). Poona, February 19th —The Commissioner, Central Division writes. "Rumours of Gandhi's arrest and the postponement are rife. Moderate-opinion in Poona and Satara (which I have just visited) is one of acute disappointment and that the arrest will be inevitable later and that the longer it is delayed the more trouble it will cause. The statement of the Secretary of State that Gandhi will abandon active civil disobedience is received with credulity, while the Extremist party openly deride it" Page 400, Para 364. Bombay, March 12th.—The news of Gandhi's arrest was received very quietly in Bombay. There was no sign of restlessness anywhere in the City. Placards were posted up by the Congress and Khilafat Committees advising the people to remain calm, but they appeared to be unnecessary. For a day or two previous to his actual arrest there were rumours that he had already been arrested, but there was little or no sign of excitement. There was no spontaneous desire for a hartal or other form of mourning and there was no sign of agents endeavouring to foment trouble. A public meeting was held on the night of the 11th in the Cutchi Dasa Oswal Jain Mahajanwadi, V. J. Patel presiding. There were about 600 present. K. P. Khadilkar, V. J. Patel, Jamnadas Mehta and N. D. Upadhya spoke. It was all advice couched in inoffensive language to keep quiet and not to disturb the peace, and extolling the virtues of non-violence. Kulaba, March 13th.—The effects, if any, of Gandhi's arrest arc not yet discernable. I do not expect any results in this district. Poona, March 12th.—The news of Gandhi's arrest was received on the evening of the 11th March. It was generally expected that a hartal would be proclaimed on the following day, but the Lokasangraha published a special edition that evening giving Gandhi's wishes in that connection. There was then no demonstration or procession of any kind. On the 12th idem a meeting was held at the Shivaji Mandir at which N. C. Kelkar presided, some 4,000 attended and resolution congratulating Gandhi on his arrest and resolving to carry on the non-co-operation movement in a peaceful manner as desired by Gandhi was passed. S. M. Paranjpe, S. K. Damle, Abdul Isak, S. G. Lavate and others spoke on the occasion. The speeches were all moderate in tone. Moulvi Muhammad Ali Siddikki spoke to the effect that Gandhi's arrest was necessary to lay the foundation of Swaraj and tauntingly said that Kelkar would be the next person to go to jail and then hundreds of people from Poona would be prepared to do so to heighten the fame of Tilak's Poona. Ahmednagar, March 15th—The news of M. K. Gandhi's arrest was heard through the Advocate on the morning of the 12th March in Ahmednagar, but so far there have been no signs of special interest taken over the matter here. At Sangamner, where I had sent my Deputy, R. S. Kamte, he reports that all was quiet. The Inspector reports that after receipt of the news at Sangamner, Maruti Moreshwar Pingle. Pleader and president of the local Taluka Congress Committee, Virchand Shrichand, Gujerati, Shankar Govind Paregaonkar, Sadashiv Bhimshankar Saraf, Laxman Shridhar Saraf and Laxmansing Balaram, Pardeshi, assembled in Ram Krishnadas Buwa's house, where they made preparations for a procession which they took through the town. It was attended mostly by boys of the National School numbering about 100. A board informing the public that Gandhi had 1922] ARREST OF MAHATMA GANDHI 147 been arrested and advocating a protest meeting for 9 p.m. was take in procession, Gandhi's photo, garlanded with red flowers, accompanied in a perambulator. The procession went round the town to the cries of "Victory to Gandhi" and "Victory to Tilak Maharaj". East Khandesh, March 15th.—Gandhi's arrest has been taken quitely. Handbills were distributed at Jalgaon and Bhusawal advising no hartals, etc., and giving his last message. An attempt to collect foreign clothing for a bonfire was abortive at Jalgaon and at Bhusawal, only five articles altogether being contributed. West Khandesh, March. The district has received quietly the news of Gandhi's arrest. Nasik. March 15th.—The news of Gandhi's arrest became known in Nasik on Saturday evening. At Yeola it was known the same time. In Nasik a meeting was hurriedly convened on Saturday evening (11th instant), Raghunath Hari Gadre, pleader presided. The other speakers were V. S. Akut. pleader; R. G. Pradhan, pleader; V. P. Upadhe, pleader: V. G. Ketkar, pleader; the audience was about 3,000. There was nothing special or violent in any speech. The sum and substance was of course to denounce the arrest with an exhortation to carry on the Mahatma's work, though he be absent in the body, he would still be present in spirit. There was no talk of a hartal or any other demonstration. At Malegaon and at Yeola, too, there was on demonstration of any kind. While there has been no excitement over any " playing up " elsewhere, Nasik may demonstrate feebly. Bombay Suburban Area, March 12th.—So far the news of Gandhi's arrest has caused no excitement in this district. Thana, March 11th.—The District Magistrate writes: " The arrest of Gandhi is known practically to all now. but so far everything is quiet. But the district will take its cue from what happens in Bombay.. Pages 428-29, Para 391 (19) (a.b.c). Bombay, March 20th.—The news of Gandhi's conviction was received very quietly in Bombay. It was known early on the afternoon of the 18th. The only exhibition of feeling was that the Cotton Bazaar at Colaba did not open for business at 4 p.m. as usual. On the 20th idem business was in full swing as usual everywhere. The Share Bazaar closed for ten minutes or so but then resumed business. Leaflets were issued in large numbers by the Congress Committee enjoining peace. They run as follows: — (a) Mahatma Gandhi has gone to Jail Duty of people The people should behave peacefully according to the instructions of the Congress and Khilafat Committees if they want Swarajya, justice in connection with the Punjab and Khilafat. the maintenance of the human birthright of free speech and writing and if they want to honour Mahatma Gandhi and to give him peace, and (1) Become members of the Congress, (2) Boycott foreign cloth, (3) Use hand-spun and hand-woven Khadi, (4) Work Charkhas, (5) Give one per cent. of their annual income to the Tilak Swarajya Fund, (6) Remove the untouchability of the depressed classes, (7) Remove the sin of drink, (8) Hindu, Muhammadan, Sikh, Parsi, Christian and Jew should behave with 148 MAHATMA GANDHI IN JAIL. [1922 each other in a friendly manner, (9) Behave peacefully with those who differ in opinion (10) Get cases decided by the Panchayat, (11) Maintain self control, (12) Be self dependent, (b) Bombay Provincial Congress Committee 2, Dean Lane, Fort, Bombay. Mahatma Gandhi has gone to Jail Duty of people Do not strike. Go to your work. Maintain peace. Use Khadi. Boycott foreign cloth. Respect the Congress Khilafat Committees" orders. Secretary, Bombay Provincial Congress Committee. No. 2, Dean Lane. Fort, Bombay. (c)Mahatma Gandhi has been sentenced to six years' simple imprisonment. Mahatmas order is not to strike but to behave peacefully. 1924 Page 35, Para 81. January 11.—It is rumoured in Poona City that Government has asked Gandhi if he is prepared to accept release on conditions similar to those imposed upon V. D. Savarkar and that Gandhi has declined the offer as. he says, he is as happy at Yeravda as he would be at Sabarmati. Government is said to be now considering his unconditional release. The reason given for this move on the part of Government is that a resolution for the release of Gandhi is shortly to be moved in the Assembly. This resolution is certain to be passed by a large majority and Government will not be able to veto it for fear of becoming still more unpopular. The fact that the I about Party is now coming into power adds, of course, to the difficulties of the situation. Page 60, Para 136. January 25.—It is rumoured in Poona that Gandhi has advised N. C. Kelkar and Lala Lajpatrai not to work in the Councils for his release, as he personally is quite content to remain in jail and is certainly not prepared to accept any release to which conditions may be attached. In spite of this, however, the Swarajists intend to try to obtain the release of the Mahatma more with the idea of making Government unpopular than with that of conferring a benefit upon Gandhi. It is also said that His Excellency the Viceroy in this connection has advised his Excellency the Governor of Bombay that the release or otherwise of Gandhi is purely a provincial question and that the Government of India do not propose to interfere in the decision of the local Government in the matter. Page 68, Para 156. January 31.—The outstanding event of the week has been the operation for appendicitis performed upon Gandhi at the Sassoon Hospital.

  • Analysing Structures of Patriarchy
    LESSON 1 ANALYSING STRUCTURES OF PATRIARCHY Patriarchy ----- As A Concept The word patriarchy refers to any form of social power given disproportionately to men. The word patriarchy literally means the rule of the Male or Father. The structure of the patriarchy is always considered the power status of male, authority, control of the male and oppression, domination of the man, suppression, humiliation, sub-ordination and subjugation of the women. Patriarchy originated from Greek word, pater (genitive from patris, showing the root pater- meaning father and arche- meaning rule), is the anthropological term used to define the sociological condition where male members of a society tend to predominates in positions of power, the more likely it is that a male will hold that position. The term patriarchy is also used in systems of ranking male leadership in certain hierarchical churches and ussian orthodox churches. Finally, the term patriarchy is used pejoratively to describe a seemingly immobile and sclerotic political order. The term patriarchy is distinct from patrilineality and patrilocality. Patrilineal defines societies where the derivation of inheritance (financial or otherwise) originates from the father$s line% a society with matrilineal traits such as Judaism, for example, provides, that in order to be considered a Jew, a person must be born of a Jewish mother. Judaism is still considered a patriarchal society. Patrilocal defines a locus of control coming from the father$s geographic/cultural community. Most societies are predominantly patrilineal and patrilocal, but this is not a universal but patriarchal society is characteri)ed by interlocking system of sexual and generational oppression.

Though India has a rich past and at the height of its glory she was one of the most advanced nations of the world yet with the passage of time her glory faded. Not only this but due to internal disunity the invaders could rale over India for centuries together. History is a witness that even at the darkest period of her history Indians continued their struggle for independence in one way for the other and did not agree to accept the fate to which they had been so unfortunately placed. Out modern Indian political thought Practically began with Gokhale who can be called the pioneer of our national movement and subsequently India produced very many political thinkers who continued their struggle against British Imperialism both under the flag of Indian National Congress and even outside that.

  • Gujarat's First Educational Conference: a Study
    GUJARAT'S FIRST EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE: A STUDY Mr. Ramesh Malabhai Chauhan Abstract Education played an important role in creating political consciousness in India. The present research paper aims to discuss how, following the Swadeshi movement, there was an increased public awareness about education, which led to the Gujarat's first education conference, organized as a part of the movement to improve the prevailing condition of education in Gujarat. The researcher intends to delineation how this conference made an important contribution in creating public awareness about education in Gujarat by establishing Gujarat Kelavani Mandal (Gujarat Education Society).This research paper is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the movement for improvement in prevailing condition of education in Gujarat following the Swadeshi movement, the second part deals with the organization and working of the first education conference with the aim of offering suggestions to government and princely states regarding improvement in the prevailing education system and to inspire people to establish private education institutes; and the third discuses the outcome of this conference in terms of findings. Keywords: Educational awareness, Demand for improvement in prevailing education, Gujarat's education conference, programs and policies for the improvement of education. Behind every major event or incident, there are always many factors at work, contributing to it over the course of time. The event itself comes about as a result of these factors. Similarly, the roots of the first conference on education in the state of Gujarat, organized in 1916 with the aim of a comprehensive discussion regarding education in the state, can be traced to the reform movement in education initiated by the state’s literate populace following the swadeshi movement.

    Breaking Barriers: Women of Bombay Presidency 2012 Cover Image: CONCEPT AND TEXT Malavika Karlekar and Aparna Basu Children of Sir Harilal Gosalia, c. 1911-12 With grateful thanks to Sharmila Rege Vinayak, Vasant, Tara, Sita and Subhadra were the children of Sir DESIGN Harilal Gosalia, an advocate of Rajkot, who becameDiwan (Prime Sundaresh and Malavika Karlekar Minister) of the princely state of Dhrangadhra. Vasant, Tara, Sita and Sarala (whose original name was Reva and is not in the photograph) were the children of Harilal by his first wife. Tara was married into the renowned business family of Bombay, Premchand Raichand, and Sarala married Ambalal Sarabhai, the textile magnate, of Ahmedabad. After his first wife died, Harilal remarried. The attire of Vinayak, (on the extreme left) combines Gujarati headgear - an embroi- dered velvet cap and a western-style belted jacket with a Peter Pan collar, side-buttoned short pants, shoes and socks. He and Subhadra, with long hair and wearing kurta-pyjama, were children of Harilal's second marriage. Gosalia was very keen on educating his daughters. In this photograph, Tara holds open a large book. It was not unusual to show girls and women with large tomes, particularly if they came from families committed to women's education; the photograph came in useful, a visual metaphor that conveyed the message of gender equality. Courtesy: Sarabhai Foundation, Ahmedabad Anasuya Sarabhai in England, c.1913-14 Anasuya was much influenced by the suffragettes and this is reflected in her austere style of dress. The blouse is modelled on a western gown and she wears a tie.

To be able to reach the position that they are in today there is progressive deliberation initiated at across various stages over all the matters and concerns of women. The paradigm shift in the socio-economic position is appreciable but still there is a long way to go in this regard. The present study is an exploratory study taking the women movement across issues globally and at national level. The universal issues concerning women are accounted and considered from time to time. There is a timeline of women movement duly taken care of in the present study. Keywords: prominent, women, concerning, economic Introduction These paradigm shifts were certainly an improvement from The set of slogans and buzzwords around the 1990s UN earlier development policy where women were more or less conferences illustrates the strategic way that women invisible.

  • Feminism and Nationalism in India, 1917-1947 Aparna Basu
    Feminism and Nationalism in India, 1917-1947 Aparna Basu Journal of Women's History, Volume 7, Number 4, Winter 1995, pp. 95-107 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/jowh.2010.0459 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/363729/summary [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] Feminism and Nationalism in India, 1917-1947 Aparna Basu Ferninism incorporates a doctrine of equal rights for women, an organ- ized movement to attain these rights, and an ideology of social trans- formation aimed at creating a world for women beyond simple social equality. It is broadly the ideology of women's liberation, since intrinsic to it is the belief that women suffer injustice because of their gender. In recent years the definition of feminism has gone beyond simply meaning move- ments for equality and emancipation which agitate for equal rights and legal reforms to redress the prevailing discrimination against women. The word has now been expanded to mean an awareness of women's oppres- sion and exploitation within the family, at work, and in society, and conscious action by women to change this. However, in the first phase of feminism in India (1917-1947) with which this essay deals, the women's movement was primarily concerned with demanding equal political, social, and economic rights and for the removal of all forms of discrimina- tory procedures against women Although feminism was a middle-class ideology, it presupposed the idea of women as a distinct group, who despite their differences of class, caste, religion, and ethnicity, shared certain common physical and psychological characteristics and mani- fested certain common problems.
