Case Study: 1 Mss Eur/F236/155 & Add Or 3866-3886 Case Study: 1 Mss Eur/F236/155 & Add Or 3866-3886 Violence on the Canvas: Calcutta Riot (1946) in the Paintings of Gopal Ghose Gopal Ghosh (1913-1980) was born in Calcutta, and his childhood was spent in Simla, the summer capital of the British Raj. He was also brought up in Banaras and Allahabad, two old cities of India where various Indian cultures found their successful confluence. His training in art started in the Maharaja’s School of Arts and Crafts, Jaipur. Initially Ghose was influenced by the Bengal School, an art movement in Bengal which culminated with the Nationalist Movement of 1905. The Bengal School tried to discover an indigenous expression of art free from the western influences. Later, Bengal School found an artistic kinship with the Japanese art, and artists like Abanindranath Tagore, Kshitindra Nath Majumder adopted many Japanese techniques like morotai. Gopal Ghose, though did not belong to Abanindranath’s milieu, found his interest in landscape, a subject that many of Bengal School artists chose enthusiastically. Mss Eur/F236/155 Gopal Ghosh (1913-80) The British Library has an important file on Gopal Ghose (Mss Eur/F236/155) which is included in the private collection entitled ‘Papers of W.G. Archer, Indian Civil Service, Bihar 1931-47, and his wife Mildred Archer, expert on Indian Poetry and art (1929-1986)’. This file contains few letters of Gopal Ghose written to W.G. Archer where he tried to explain his concept of his own art and technique. In a letter, written on 15 August 1948, Ghose announced his allegiance to Pablo Picasso, ‘I must be frank and flowery that I like Picasso, not only…[because] he has changed his name from Ruiz to Picasso, but … [for] his everlasting vitality and vigour….In Picasso’s fuss I find power of Picasso- so dearly I admire the Pablo of Power’ (Mss Eur/F236/155). It was a long journey, indeed, for him, from Abanindranth to Pablo Picasso. Ghose’s association with Calcutta was renewed when he started teaching at the Indian Society of Oriental Art in 1940-1945. Besides he continued to teach at the Bengal Engineering College, Shibpur, and Scottish Church College. Calcutta in 1940’s was not a happy place, the first half of which was spent under the shadow of imminent Japanese bombing, and the second half of the decade saw an unprecedented communal riot between Hindus and Muslims over the Partition question. The communal politics took an ugly turn in 1946 with an obvious result of mass killings on the street of Calcutta. On 15 February 1946, the British Parliament discussed the dire situation in Calcutta, and Mr. Arthur Henderson, the Under-Secretary of State for India, made a statement on the situation in Calcutta: The casualties reported up till midday on Thursday [14 February 1946] were: Civilians, 38 dead and 527 injured, of whom 276 were still in hospital. Of the police, 82 were injured, 22 of whom were detained in hospital. The military casualties were, one officer seriously wounded, and two British other ranks and two Indian other ranks injured. The reports which my noble Friend has received since the statement which I made to the House on Wednesday, in reply to the noble Lord the Member for Horsham (Earl Winterton) indicate that Wednesday was marked by a renewal of mob violence which mostly took the form of erection of road blocks, interference with vehicular traffic, and damaging and looting shops and other buildings. House of Commons Hansard Archives http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1946/feb/15/calcutta-riots But it was still a prelude to the worst to come, and on the 16th August 1946, following the ‘Direct Action Day’ Calcutta would be witnessing the beginning of a large scale mass slaughter in the name of religion. This communal killing would be continuing even well after the Partition and Indian Independence in 1947. Gopal Ghose made a few paintings in Calcutta during the second half of February 1946, and it seems that he was almost in hurry to finish them. They all came in a gush, and within a few days, he completed them all. The British Library holds 21 of his original paintings of which 18 were created in 1946. Though nowhere in his entire correspondence with Archer, did Ghose give any reference to the violence he must have witnessed in Calcutta, his disillusionment on human civilization became apparent when he wrote about ‘animal’ as his favourite subject: Yes, the animal I like most…The various types of animal I enjoy,… when I come in contact with animals I feel myself happy. Animal still I keep in my right hand side; rightly speaking animal can cure a lot in an age of so-called civilized world I don’t find any happy atmosphere. Letter to W.G. Archer, 15 August 1948 [Mss Eur/F236/155] Landscape painting not only made Ghose famous but also gave him respite from drudgery. He commented: I used to run for open space. Landscapes are the next wonder-world to me; Landscapes are to me lungs of the soil- I breathe in landscapes. (ibid) But interestingly, many of the landscapes that Ghose painted in the February of 1946 feature an impending disaster in forms of storm clouds or forest fire. Add Or 3875 Storm Clouds Medium: watercolour; gouache Signed and dated in Bengali: ‘Gopal Ghose. 15/2/46.’ Add Or 3881 Flame of the forest trees (palas) Medium: watercolour; gouache Signed and dated in Bengali: ‘Gopal Ghose. 28/2/46’ There are four paintings, all made in February 1946, depict directly the violence on the streets of Calcutta. The scenes of agitation, violence and death are smeared with bright colours, though the human figures have been relegated into mere shadows. The non-human objects, building, flags, weapons, trees, vehicles on the street made stark contrast to brightly lit blue or pink sky.

His grandfather Ernst von Leyden was a physician, and knighted for his services to the Prussian Court. His father Viktor von Leyden was a high ranking civil servant, and wrote books on legal themes. His mother Luise Reichenheim was of a Jewish origin. This was not a convenient family identity to live with in Berlin during 1930s especially after Hitler became the Chancellor in 1933. Moreover, Rudolf had interests in communism which made his life further difficult in Germany, and Georg-August University in Gӧttingen, where Rudolph did his Ph.D in Geology, stripped him of the degree on the grounds of his communist leanings. He left Germany in 1933, and joined his brother in Bombay (now Mumbai). Their parents also left country and joined them in Bombay six years later. Rudolf, though studied Geology, never worked as a geologist, instead started to contribute political cartoons to The Times of India, which were published in its supplement The Illustrated Weekly of India. A majority of his cartoons concerned the political situations in Europe during the World War II, and they were ostensibly against the Axis power of Germany, Japan, and Italy. At the same time, he drew a substantial number of cartoons on India, and its political and economic situations. Leyden was particularly sensitive towards the Partition question and the economic corruptions which became integral to Indian ways of life during the last decade of the colonial rule in India. Rudolf left India in mid-sixties, and started to live the rest of his life in Vienna. Rudy von Rudolph passed away on March 25, 1983, just before he was to receive the prestigious Cross of Honour by the Austrian Government for his contribution to art and culture. He signed all his cartoons as ‘DENLEY’, an anagram of his name Leyden. Source: Rudolf von Leyden, Max Muller Bhavan Bombay, Mumbai, 1999 All the cartoons are taken from the following album in the British Library.

    2nd INFANTRY REGIMENT 1110 pages (approximate) Boxes 1243-1244 The 2nd Infantry Regiment was a component part of the 5th Infantry Division. This Division was activated in 1939 but did not enter combat until it landed on Utah Beach, Normandy, three days after D-Day. For the remainder of the war in Europe the Division participated in numerous operations and engagements of the Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace and Central Europe campaigns. The records of the 2nd Infantry Regiment consist mostly of after action reports and journals which provide detailed accounts of the operations of the Regiment from July 1944 to May 1945. The records also contain correspondence on the early history of the Regiment prior to World War II and to its training activities in the United States prior to entering combat. Of particular importance is a file on the work of the Regiment while serving on occupation duty in Iceland in 1942.

  • Reflections on the Transfer of Power and Jawaharlal Nehru Admiral of the Fleet the Earl Mountbatten of Burma KG PC GCB OM GCSI GCIE GCVO DSO FRS
    Reflections on the Transfer of Power and Jawaharlal Nehru Admiral of the Fleet The Earl Mountbatten of Burma KG PC GCB OM GCSI GCIE GCVO DSO FRS Trinity College, University of Cambridge - 14th November 1968. This is the second Nehru Memorial Lecture. At the suggestion of the former President of India the first was given, most appropriately, by the Master of Jawaharlal Nehru’s old College, Trinity. Lord Butler was born in India, the son of a most distinguished member of the Indian Civil Service, who was one of the most successful Governors. As Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for India he was one of those responsible for the truly remarkable 1935 Government of India Act, the Act which I used to speed up the transfer of power. Thus Lord Butler’ ties with India are strong and it not surprising that he gave such an excellent lecture, which has set such a high standard. He dealt faithfully with the life and career of Jawaharlal Nehru from his birth seventy-nine years ago this very day up to 1947. My fellow trustees of the Nehru Memorial Trust have persuaded me to deliver the second lecture. This seemed the occasion to give a connected narrative of the events leading up to the transfer of power in August 1947, and indeed to continue up to June 1948, when I ceased to be India’s first Constitutional Governor-General. It would have been nice to show how Nehru fitted into these events, but in the time available such a task soon proved to be out of the question, so I have deliberately confined myself to recalling the highlights of my Viceroyalty and to assessing Nehru’s relations to the principal men and events at the time, and to general reminiscences of him to illustrate the part he played up to the actual transfer of power.

He received his B.S. from Erskine College in 1909, and rose up the administrative ranks from English teacher in Laurens, South Carolina public schools. He received his M.A. from Peabody College in 1920, and Ph.D. from Peabody in 1926, after which he became president of Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC in 1927. He was employed as Director of Teacher Training, Certification, and Elementary Education at the Alabama Dept. of Education just before coming to MSCW to become president in 1932. In December 1932, the university was re-accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, ending the crisis brought on the purge of faculty under Governor Theodore Bilbo, but appropriations to the university were cut by 54 percent, and faculty and staff were reduced by 33 percent, as enrollment had declined from 1410 in 1929 to 804 in 1932. Parkinson authorized a study of MSCW by Peabody college, ultimately pursuing its recommendations to focus on liberal arts at the cost of its traditional role in industrial, vocational, and technical education. Building projects were kept to a minimum during the Parkinson years. Old Main was restored and named for Mary Calloway in 1938. Franklin Hall was converted to a dorm, and the Whitfield Gymnasium into a student center with the Golden Goose Tearoom inside. Parkinson Hall was constructed in 1951 and named for Dr.

After much endeavor, the institution is all set to go for the first cycle assessment and accreditation by NAAC. It was quite a task to comprehend, grasp and fulfill all the parameters of the SSR; especially so, because the College is spread over three shifts at three different timings. Connecting to and co-ordinating with 213 teachers and 76 non-teaching staff were difficult, but in the long run, fruitful. In between full session classes and with the trepidation of a nervous first- timer, keeping the deadline intact was a sweating struggle with time.
