Gandhi and Mani Bhavan
73 Gandhi and Mani Bhavan Sandhya Mehta Volume 1 : Issue 07, November 2020 1 : Issue 07, November Volume Independent Researcher, Social Media Coordinator of Mani Bhavan, Mumbai, [email protected] Sambhāṣaṇ 74 Abstract: This narrative attempts to give a brief description of Gandhiji’s association with Mani Bhavan from 1917 to 1934. Mani Bhavan was the nerve centre in the city of Bombay (now Mumbai) for Gandhiji’s activities and movements. It was from here that Gandhiji launched the first nationwide satyagraha of Rowlett Act, started Khilafat and Non-operation movements. Today it stands as a memorial to Gandhiji’s life and teachings. _______ The most distinguished address in a quiet locality of Gamdevi in Mumbai is the historic building, Mani Bhavan - the house where Gandhiji stayed whenever he was in Mumbai from 1917 to 1934. Mani Bhavan belonged to Gandhiji’s friend Revashankar Jhaveri who was a jeweller by profession and elder brother of Dr Pranjivandas Mehta - Gandhiji’s friend from his student days in England. Gandhiji and Revashankarbhai shared the ideology of non-violence, truth and satyagraha and this was the bond of their empathetic friendship. Gandhiji respected Revashankarbhai as his elder brother as a result the latter was ever too happy to Volume 1 : Issue 07, November 2020 1 : Issue 07, November Volume host him at his house. I will be mentioning Mumbai as Bombay in my text as the city was then known. Sambhāṣaṇ Sambhāṣaṇ Volume 1 : Issue 07, November 2020 75 Mani Bhavan was converted into a Gandhi museum in 1955. Dr Rajendra Prasad, then The President of India did the honours of inaugurating the museum. -
Understanding the Introspective and Intellectual Nature of Nehru Through His Self-Titled Autobiography
Research Journal of English Language and Literature (RJELAL) A Peer Reviewed (Refereed) International Journal Vol.5.Issue 4. 2017 Impact Factor 6.8992 (ICI) http://www.rjelal.com; (Oct-Dec) Email:[email protected] ISSN:2395-2636 (P); 2321-3108(O) RESEARCH ARTICLE UNDERSTANDING THE INTROSPECTIVE AND INTELLECTUAL NATURE OF NEHRU THROUGH HIS SELF-TITLED AUTOBIOGRAPHY KAVITHA KAREN XAVIER Research Scholar, English Literature Holy Cross College, Nagercoil, K.K. District- 629004 Email Address: [email protected] ABSTRACT An Autobiography (1936) by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of an independent and democratic India, is one of the most influential autobiographies ever written by a world-renowned statesman. Jawaharlal Nehru was at the forefront of the freedom struggle in India, despite many hardships and years in prison he never renounced the freedom struggle. Being born and brought up in an elite family, he could have avoided the hardships and lived affluently in the safety of his family’s heritage, but Jawaharlal Nehru was not a man to take discrimination and oppression silently. He became intertwined with India’s destiny and ultimately took up the mantle of prime minister when she gained freedom in 1947. Nehru was an intellectual man with deep insight and acumen, his autobiography leaves behind a lasting sketch of this great man’s introspective nature and charming personality. Nehru began the task of penning down his autobiography in a mood of self- questioning, his attempt was to trace as far as he could his own mental development. Nehru’s candour coupled with incredible literary eloquence grips the reader throughout the book. -
Abstract Deconstructing Glimpses of World History
ABSTRACT DECONSTRUCTING GLIMPSES OF WORLD HISTORY: AN ANALYSIS OF JAWAHARLAL NEHRU'S LETTERS TO HIS DAUGHTER by Michele L Langford This paper deconstructs Jawaharlal Nehru's extensive account of world history in the form of letters to his daughter, Indira. First published in 1934, Glimpses of World History remains an important resource in understanding the formative years of Nehru's perspective of world history and world politics. An analysis of Nehru's text contributes to growing field of scholarship concerned with the uses and approaches to world history. In addition, an analysis of influences on Nehru's construction of world history questions the traditional view that only British perspectives informed Nehru's ideas about the world. In conclusion, this paper suggests that Nehru's world history served as the premise to his key foreign policy initiative, nonalignment, once Nehru became prime minister of India in 1947.

Introduction A close reading of Jawaharlal Nehru's Glimpses of World History reveals the complexities of constructing and using world history. Written while in prison for nonviolent protests against the British Raj between the years 1930 and 1934, Nehru's historical narrative retold his version of world history in the form of short letters to his daughter, Indira. -

The Male Leader's Autobiography and the Syntax of Postcolonial Nationalism
BOEHMER Makeup 3/22/05 2:55 PM Page 66 John's G5:Users:john:Public:John's Mac: John's Jobs 4 The hero’s story: the male leader’s autobiography and the syntax of postcolonial nationalism I was literally carrying on my back the history, culture and heritage of my people. (Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom)1 ‘In Quest of the Golden Fleece’: the leader’s autobiography as national genre Narratives, as has already been seen in this book, give form to and legitimate the process of postcolonial and national coming-into-being. Stories codify national reality and space, and allow emergent national identities to be per- formed. By looking at a particularly definitive, form-giving or in-forming nar- rative genre, the independence leader’s autobiography, the work of this chapter is to show how the story of the growth to self-consciousness of the leader at national independence often presents as a synonym for the rise of the nation. In both Indian and African nationalist movements, the two points of focus in this chapter, leaders’ tales operate as inaugural symbolic texts shaping and jus- tifying configurations of status and power in the postcolonial nation(-to-be), including the interconnection of nationalist ideology and gender politics. Of particular interest here will be the way in which the leader’s autobiography helps legitimate the gender specifics of the nation. Where the leader’s individ- ual selfhood is equated with the nation’s collective identity, key nationalist touchstones like pride and loyalty are represented as predominantly a matter for men. -
At Home in the World: Jawaharlal Nehru and Global Anti-Imperialism
AT HOME IN THE WORLD: JAWAHARLAL NEHRU AND GLOBAL ANTI-IMPERIALISM A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michele L. Louro January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Howard Spodek, Advisory Chair, Department of History, Temple University Dr. Richard Immerman, Department of History, Temple University Dr. Lynn Hollen Lees, Department of History, University of Pennsylvania Dr. Thomas R. Metcalf, Department of History, University of California Berkley © Copyright 2010 by Michele L. Louro All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation situates Indian nationalist politics in a broad, international context of anti-imperialist movements beginning in the late colonial and interwar period. The archival record is rich with sources on the international and transnational connections of the Indian National Congress (INC); however, scholarship on the independence movement almost exclusively concentrates on the micro-histories of ‘locality, province, and nation’ or the ‘subalterns’ of India. Instead, this project contributes a much-needed international perspective to Indian colonial history. As a case study, this dissertation traces the relationship between Jawaharlal Nehru, then a prominent leader of the Indian independence movement and later India’s first prime minister (1947-1964), and the League against Imperialism (LAI), a significant, yet little studied organization founded in Brussels in February 1927. The League offered a significant space for Nehru, and by extension the Indian National Congress, to interact and build partnerships with political leaders in other colonies, mandates and dependencies in Asia, Africa, and Latin America; as well as North American and European social reformers concerned with working class and racial equality. -

A Bibliography of Autobiographies
Bibliography of Autobiographies, Memoirs and Reminiscences by Indian authors in English (Unpublished) By Dr. N. Benjamin Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune 411 004 [email protected] People have been writing their own experiences in life since long. But such writings in English in India have been done essentially in the present century. Some of them originally written in the regional languages have also been translated into English. These writings provide an authentic account of all that has been happening around them. They are useful as a source of information for freedom struggle, socio-economic history, business history, functioning of government, etc. They also contain information regarding sports, arts, and so on. The first male-authored autobiography in India was written by the Mughal emperor Babur. Known as Baburnama, it was penned in 1520s. His great grandson, Jahangir, wrote Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri a century later. The third autobiography was written by a non-royal in 1650 - Banarsidas. It was entitled Ardhakatha. Bahina Bai was the first Indian woman to write an autobiography – around in 1700. They have been followed by other writers. Since the subject covered even in a single volume is more than one, they have been listed in an alphabetical order in the following pages. Apart from the autobiographies, memoirs and reminiscences pertaining to their own lives have also been included. Alphabet A: 1. Abbas, Khwaja Ahmad, I am not an island: An experiment in autobiography (New Delhi: Vikas, 1977). 2. Abbasi, Qazi Mohammad Adil, Aspects of politics and society: memoirs of a veteran Congressman (New Delhi, 1981). -
Autobiography As History
My Discovery of Nehru: Autobiography as History This is an essay on autobiography as history and was originally written for a conference on 'Nehru and non-alignment'. This was organised by the Centre for Indian Studies, University of Sydney, to celebrate the Centenary of Nehru. In this essay I reflect on the influence of Nehru on myself and men and women of my generation. For this reason 1 thought that I should look back to my own childhood. If history is 'self-knowledge', as Collingwood! has put it, then autobiographies are important to historians and the autobiographies of historians are doubly important. 'The autobiography of a man whose business is thinking should be the story of his thought' he says. His own autobiography has chapters like 'Bend of a Twig', 'Minute Philosophers', 'Question and Answer', and 'Theory and Practice'. Taylor, who wrote a fascinating story of his life, which was a good example of narrative history, could not but speculate about the ends of history. Take, for example, his views on the Soviet Union: soon after the end of the war there broke out that obsession with anti-communism which came to be called the Cold War and I was on the wrong side. I had not been a Communist since 1926 and had often taken an anti-communist line in home politics. Nor had I the slightest illusion about the tyranny and brutality of Stalin's regime. But I had been convinced throughout the nineteen thirties that Soviet predominance in eastern Europe was the only alternative to Germany's and I preferred the Soviet one. -

It is defined as “written life of a person”. Biography is a relatively full account of the facts of a person’s life which attempts to set forth his/her character, temperament and milieu, as well as his experiences and activities. Autobiography is a form of biography in which the subject is also the author; it is generally written in the first person and covers most or an important phase of the author’s life. It portrays life in a very aesthetic manner. People in general have a great interest in the lives of great people as well as others, which are notable in some ways. Biography is one of the most popular fields of study providing introduction, inspiration and entertainment. -
An Autobiography Or the Story of My Experiments with Truth
An Autobiography Or My Experiments With Truth The Story of By: M. K. Gandhi Translated from the Original in Gujarati by Mahadev Desai General Editor Shriman Narayan Printed & Published by: Navajivan Publishing House Ahmedabad 380 014 (INDIA) An Autobiography or My Experiments with Truth FOREWORD Throughout the world, almost all nations will be celebrating from October 2 this year the birth centenary of Mahatma Gandhi who is now universally recognised as the glorious symbol of truth and non-violence. Gandhiji was not only a great national leader who liberated India from foreign domination through a peaceful and bloodless struggle, but also a profound thinker who placed before the world certain eternal principles for the guidance of human relationship and international behaviour. He laid the greatest stress on the purity of the means for the achievement of noble ends. “The means may be likened to a seed, the end to a tree; and there is just the same inviolable connection between the means and the end as there is between the seed and the tree.” 1 The Mahatma never compromised his adherence to this ideal even for the attainment of Swaraj for India. He was convinced beyond any shadow of doubt that this method of righteousness was, “ultimately, the shortest, although it may appear to be long, perhaps too long.” 2 To Gandhiji, civilization, in the real sense of the term, consisted “not in the multiplication, but in the deliberate and voluntary restriction of wants.” 3 He always upheld the sublime aim of “simple living and high thinking”. While he strained every nerve to provide gainful employment to the hungry millions of India through various constructive activities, he underscored the imperative need for raising the ‘standard of life’ of the people, including the ethical and moral aspects.
