Ÿþm I C R O S O F T W O R BRIDGLAL PACHAI BRIDGLAL PACHAI THE -.-OUTH AFIC ID N QUSTO 1860971 Bridglal Pachai The first Indians came to South Africa as a result of a tripartite pact in which the Governments of Natal, India and Great Britain were involved. They came to serve the interests of the White Sugar Planters in Natal. From this beginning considerable hostility developed. As the descendants of the first indentured labourers and traders began to make headway in different parts of South Africa they earned the labels of 'menace' and 'problem'. Their plight became the subject matter for inter-governmental negotiations, Imperial Conferences, the League of Nations and, finally, the United Nations. What have they done to earn this opprobrium? How do they feature in the society, economics and politics of South Africa? These and other issues are discussed by the author who is himself the descendant of an Indian indentured labourer. Professor Pachai, the author and editor of several books and numerous articles on Africa, was the first South African Indian to obtain the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in South Africa. He has travelled widely in Africa, Europe and North America and is at present Professor of History at the University of Malawi, Chancellor College.

Bibliography Index 296 309 APPENDIX APPENDIX APPENDIX APPENDIX APPENDIX APPENDIX APPENDIX APPENDIX 284 284 286 287 290 290 294 295 PREFACE This book, which is based largely on material submitted for a Ph.D. degree of the University of Natal, concerns itself with the international aspects of the South African Indian question: the aspects which deal with inter-governmental matters as between states and countries (such as between the South African Republic and Natal, before the days of Union, and India and Great Britain) and international aspects involving international institutions such as the League of Nations and the United Nations. In short, the scope of this study embraces both inter-national as well as international aspects. Though the aim is not to deal with local, national or domestic issues at length, it is necessary to point out that these issues cannot be ignored or overlooked. Any issue only reaches international proportions after it transcends its national limits. The external or international plane is nothing more than the lengthened shadow of the internal or national plane. Any understanding of the one is not possible, at least with any thoroughness, without a discussion, however brief, on the other. But pains have been taken to ensure that the international aspects do not take second place to the national aspects; local events have been dealt with as briefly as is necessary to elucidate the main points of this study. Another facet of this study is that it cannot be dealt with in isolation. The Indian Question (which today represents the story of only 3 per cent of South Africa's population) cannot be entirely divorced from the rest of South Africa's racial problems and this study takes note of this situation. An Epilogue has been included in the last chapter to bring the story of the South African Indian up to date. This has been necessary not only because the study from which this book has emerged itself stopped with the introduction of the Republic of South Africa in 1961 but more because the decade following it has been a significant one. Much of Africa has since become independent and in South Africa old policies have hardened and new ones have appeared. In these developments the international influences have had their say, with varying results. When the thesis was originally written I was still in South Africa. Times were hard and financial support was hard to come by. In those difficult days local support was almost non-existent. It was not "fashionable" for a backwood man, the son of an ex-indentured labourer, to be engaged in such pursuits. No South African Indian had before this obtained a doctorate in History. To say the least, it was not the thing to do. The fact that the undertaking succeeded at all was due to my Supervisor, Professor Edgar H. Brookes, Head of the Department of History and Political Science of the University of Natal, who not only provided me with academic guidance but often found me sums of money to tide me through my many financial crises. He has remained a good friend. Two of my colleagues in the service of the Natal Education Department must be remembered. They are Dallip H. Singh and Sarwanth L. Sewgolam. For documentary material, I am grateful for the help I received from the United Nations headquarters; the Government of India, Ministry of External Affairs; the South African Institute of Race Relations; the Natal Society Library; the University of Natal Library; the Natal Archives and the Killie Campbell Library. Individuals who made available their private collections were Messrs. Muthray Pillay, S. R. Naidoo, P. R. Pather, S. B. Mungal, all of Natal, South Africa, and H. S. L. Polak of the United Kingdom. Mrs. D. Bramdaw of the Leader and Mrs. Manilal Gandhi of Indian Opinion also helped. This publication is due partly to the encouragement given by the Indian Council for Africa, New Delhi. My wife and I were fortunate to make our first visit to India in 1969 when I participated in a Seminar on Indians Abroad mounted by the Indian Council for Africa and the Indian Council for Cultural Relations. I was struck by -the deep and genuine interest in the history of Indians abroad. In particular where the history of the African continent was concerned the situation in South Africa was necessary to compare and contrast general and particular trends in the rest of the continent. Publication economies have necessitated the inevitable excision of a considerable part of the original thesis. This has led to both losses and gains and whatever its present shortcomings every effort has been made to put across the main points of the original work. This Preface is being finished off, in revised form, in Malawi where I have been for the past six years. Here, as in my many peregrinations since we left South Africa, my wife has given me much of her time and patience in many kindly ways, not least in the preparation of typescripts for publication. To her, and to other members of the family in Malawi and South Africa, I say "thank you" for having helped to launch me on my way many years ago. Much has happened since those humble beginnings. B.

  • Class, Race and Gender Amongst White Volunteers, 1939-1953
    From War to Workplace: Class, Race and Gender amongst White Volunteers, 1939-1953 By Neil Roos Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences at the University of North West Supervisor: Dr. Tim Clynick Mafikeng, North West Province August 2001 To Dick Abstract Through a case study of the war and post-war experiences of those who volunteered to serve in the Second World War, the thesis explores aspects of the social and cultural history of white men in South Africa. The thesis begins from the premise that class and ethnicity, the major binary categories conventionally used to explain developments in white South African society, are unable to account for the history of white men who volunteered to serve in the Second World War. It argues that the history of these volunteers is best understood in the context of racist culture, which can be defined as an evolving consensus amongst whites in South Africa on the political, social and cultural primacy of whiteness. It argues that, when the call to arms came in 1939, it was answered mainly by white men from those little traditions incorporated politically into the segregationist colonial order, largely through the explicit emphases of white privilege and the cultural hegemony of whiteness. Their decision to enlist was underscored by an awareness that volunteering entailed a set of rights and duties, which centred on their expectations of post-war "social justice." Chapter three examines some of the highly idealised and implicitly racialised ways in which, during wartime, white troops expanded their understanding of social justice.

  • The Psychological Impact of Guerrilla Warfare on the Boer Forces During the Anglo-Boer War
    University of Pretoria etd - McLeod AJ (2004) THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF GUERRILLA WARFARE ON THE BOER FORCES DURING THE ANGLO-BOER WAR by ANDREW JOHN MCLEOD Submitted as partial requirement for the degree DOCTOR PHILOSOPHIAE (HISTORY) in the Faculty of Human Sciences University of Pretoria Pretoria 2004 Supervisor : Prof. F. Pretorius Co-supervisor : Prof. J.B. Schoeman University of Pretoria etd - McLeod AJ (2004) Abstract of: “The psychological impact of guerrilla warfare on the Boer forces during the Anglo- Boer War” The thesis is based on a multi disciplinary study involving both particulars regarding military history and certain psychological theories. In order to be able to discuss the psychological experiences of Boers during the guerrilla phase of the Anglo-Boer War, the first chapters of the thesis strive to provide the required background. Firstly an overview of the initial conventional phase of the war is furnished, followed by a discussion of certain psychological issues relevant to stress and methods of coping with stress. Subsequently, guerrilla warfare as a global concern is examined. A number of important events during the transitional stage, in other words, the period between conventional warfare and total guerrilla warfare, are considered followed by the regional details concerning the Boers’ plans for guerrilla warfare. These details include the ecological features, the socio-economic issues of that time and military information about the regions illustrating the dissimilarity and variety involved. In the chapters that follow the focus is concentrated on the psychological impact of the guerrilla war on the Boers. The wide range of stressors (factors inducing stress) are arranged according to certain topics: stress caused by military situations; stress caused by the loss of infrastructure in the republics; stress caused by environmental factors; stress arising from daily hardships; stress caused by anguish and finally stressors prompted by an individuals disposition.

Amery Fellow of All Souls With many Photogravure and other Portraits, Maps and Battle Plans Vol. VII Index and Appendices LONDON SAMPSON Low, MARSTON AND COMPANY, LTD. loo, SOUTHWARK STREET, S.E. 1909 LONDON : PRINTED BY WILLIAM CLOWES AND SONS, LIMITED, DUKE STREET, STAMFORD STREET, S.E., AND GREAT WINDMILL STREET, W PREFACE THE various appendices and the index which make up the present volume are the work of Mr. G. P. Tallboy, who has acted as secretary to the History for the last seven years, and whom I have to thank not only for the labour and research comprised in this volume, but for much useful assistance in the past. The index will, I hope, prove of real service to students of the war. The general principles on which it has been compiled are those with which the index to The Times has familiarized the public. The very full bibliography which Mr. Tallboy has collected may give the reader some inkling of the amount of work involved in the composition of this history. I cannot claim to have actually read all the works comprised in the list, though I think there are comparatively few among them that have not been consulted. On the other hand the list does not include the blue-books, despatches, magazine and newspaper articles, and, above all, private diaries, narratives and notes, which have formed the real bulk of my material.
