Further Readings FURTHER READINGS CHAPTER I The N.A.J. and the N.M.M.L. now have between them the private papers or most Viceroys and Secretaries or State in microfilms. For the papers of Governors and lower-Ievel officials, however, the, researcher still has to go to the I.O.L. (London) or the Cambridge South Asia Study Centre. The N.A.I. holdings or the Government of India files are in some ways superior to those of the I.O.L.; a useful guide here is Low, Iltis and Wainwright, Governmenr Archives il/ South Asia (Cambridge, 1969). The N.M.M.L. has buHt up a magnificent collection on 20th Century Indian history, including private papers of Indian politicians and businessmen, the AII-India Congress Committee files, documents or the States People's Movement and labour and kisan organizations, recorded interviews of political activists, and microfilms of unpublished theses. Contemporary pamphlets lie scattered in many libraries, and proscribed publications may be read at the N.A.I., I.O.L. and the British Museum. Newspaper preservation leaves much to be desired, though there are valuable collections at the National Library (Caleutta), N.M.M.L., I.O.L. and the British Museum. Excerpts from contemporary documents, mainly official, may be read in C. H. Philips (ed.) Evolution of India and Pakislan 1858-1947 (London, 1962); see also B. L. Grover (ed.), A Documentary Sludy of Brilish Policy towards Indian National/sm (Delhi, 1967), from which I have taken the quotations from Dufferin and Reay. Constitutional documents are easily available, in A. C. Banerji (ed.), Indian Constitutional Documenls 1757-1947, 4 vols. (Calcuha, 1961), and Gwyer and Appadorai (ed.) Speeches and Documents 01/ the II/dian COl/slitution, 2 vols. (London, 1957). The more advanced student will find fascinating material on the last years or Briti~h rule in the official papers printed in N. Mansergh (ed.), Transfer of Power 1942-47 (Nine volumes published so far, London, 1970 onwards). The Indian Council of Historical Research has planned two multi-volume series or documents, taken more from non-official sources, on the national movement and on the last decade of British rule (Towards Freedom project) but these are still at the preparatory stage. The recent spurt in research has rendered largely out-or-date old text­ books and surveys like P. Spear, Oxford History 0/ lI/dia (New Delhi, 1974), P. Sitaramayya, His tory of tlre Indiall Natiol/al COllgress, 2 \'ols. (Bombay, 1946-47) or R. C. Mazumdar (ed.) Brilish Paramounlcy al/d I,,,/illll Rel/ais­ sal/ce (Bombay, 1<)74) a~d Struggle for Freedom (Bombay, 1969). A similar comment has to be made about the two general histories of the national movement, "'fitten from sharply opposed points or view; Tarachand, History of Ihe Freedom Movemel/t ill India, 4 vols. (Delhi, 1961-72) and 4S6 MODERN INDIA R. C. Mazumdar. HIstory 0/ Freedom Movement. :3 vols. (Calcutta, 1962-63). Bipan Chandra. Modern lndia (New Delhi, 1971), though written for schools, is a valuable introduction. R. P. Dutt, Tndia Today (Bombay, 1947; revised edn, Calcutta, 1970) and D. R. Gadgil, lndllstrial Evolution 0/ India In Recent Times (Bombay, 1944) remain useful as general survey~ of econo­ mie developments. M. N. Srinivas, Social Change in Modern lndia (Cali­ romia. 1966) provides an introduction to relevant sociological concepts. Official attitudes are surveyed on the basis of private papers in S. Gopal, Brltish Policy in India /858-1905 (Cambridge, 1965), while Hutchins, Illusion 0/ Permanence fPrinceton, 1967), has many iIIuminating insights. Among the numerous studies of individual Viceroys. mention may be made of Ronaldshay, Life 0/ Lord Curzon, Vol. 11 (London, 1928); M. N. Das, lndia under Minto and Morley (London, 1964); S. Gopal, Viceroyalty 0/ Lord Irwl" (Oxford, 1957); and the recent study of Chelmsford by P. Robb, The Government o/Indla and Re/orm Policies Towards Politics and the Con­ stltution 1916-21, London, 1976). R. Coupland's old study of constitutional developments, Constitutional Problem in India (London. 1944), is still useful in its own limited field. The offieial edition of the Collected Worb of Gandhi (New Delhi, 1958, onwards) now runs into 70 volumes, while the Selected Worb of Jawaharlal Nehru (New Delhi, 1972 onwards) have gone up to 13 volumes so rar. Many Indian leaders have left autobiographies: Surendranath Banerji, A Nation in Making (Caleutta, 1925, 1963); Bepin Chandra Pal, Ml'mories 0/ My U/e and Times (2nd edn., Calcutta, 1913); Lajpat Rai, Autobiographical Writings (cd. V. C. Joshi, Delhi, 1965); M. K. Gandhi, Story 0/ My Experi­ rMnts with Truth (First English edn., Ahmedabad, 1927); J. Nehru, An Autobiography (London, 1936); Subhas Bose, The Indian Struggle (Caleutta, 1935, 1964); Maulana Azad, India Wins Freedom (Bombay, 1959), and Rajendra Prasad, An Autobiography (Bombay, 1957). The massive biogra­ phical literature includes S. Wolpert, TUak and Gokhale (California, 1':'62); B. R. Nanda, Gokhale, The Indian Moderates and the British Raj (Delhi, 1977); Tendulkar's 8 volumes biography of Gandhi, The Mahatma (Delhi, 1960-63); Pyarelal's works on Gandhi's first and last phase (Ahmedabad, 1956-58); M. Brecher, Nehru: A Political Biography (London, 1959) and S. Gopal, lawaharlal Nehru, Vol. I (London, 1976). John Strachey, India (London, 1888), V. Chirol, Indian Unrest (London, 1910), and Verney Lovett, A His/ory 0/ the Indian Nationalist Movement (London, 1920, 1968) make interesting reading as typifying unabashed imperialist historiography. A number of State Governments after 1947 commissioned official histories of the freedom movement for their own regions; these at times contain useful sOlörce-materials, particularly Govern­ ment of Bombay, Source-materials tor alIistDry 0/ the Freedom MOllement in India, Vols. I, II (Bombay, 1959) and M. Venkatarangiyya, Freedom Struggle in Andhru Pradesh, 3 vols. (Hyderabad, 1965).

The revised version, emphasizing locality and faction, was annouoced in Gallagher, Johnson, Seal (eds.), Loea/ity, Provinee and Natioll (Cambridge, 1973), and developed in Gordon Johnson, Provincial Polities alld Indian Nationalism: Bombay and the Indian National Congress 1880-1915 (Cambridge, 1973); F.

Power, Profit and Polities: Essays on Imperiallsm, Nationalism and Change in 20th Centur, India, (Cambridge, 1981) seems to indicate yet another shirt, with political analysis in terms of factions largely abandoned, except in Seal', two articles, in favour of economic history. D. A. Low has edited two important collections of essays, Soundings in Modern South Aslan History (Califomia, 1968) and Congress and the Raj: Faeets olthe Indian StrUlgle 1917·47 (London, 1977); whiIe Ravinder Kumar (cd.), Essays on Gandhian Polities: The Rowlatt Satyagraha 011919 (Oxford, 1971) is anotber major product of scholarship based on Canberra.

  • Communism and Religion in North India, 1920–47
    "To the Masses." Communism and Religion in North India, 1920–47 Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades doctor philosophiae (Dr. phil.) eingereicht an der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin von Patrick Hesse Präsident der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Prof. Dr. Jan-Hendrik Olbertz Dekanin der Kultur-, Sozial- und Bildungswissenschaftlichen Fakultät Prof. Dr. Julia von Blumenthal Gutachter: 1. Michael Mann 2. Dietrich Reetz Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 20. Juli 2015 Abstract Among the eldest of its kind in Asia, the Communist Party of India (CPI) pioneered the spread of Marxist politics beyond the European arena. Influenced by both Soviet revolutionary practice and radical nationalism in British India, it operated under conditions not provided for in Marxist theory—foremost the prominence of religion and community in social and political life. The thesis analyzes, first, the theoretical and organizational ‘overhead’ of the CPI in terms of the position of religion in a party communist hierarchy of emancipation. It will therefore question the works of Marx, Engels, and Lenin on the one hand, and Comintern doctrines on the other. Secondly, it scrutinizes the approaches and strategies of the CPI and individual members, often biographically biased, to come to grips with the subcontinental environment under the primacy of mass politics. Thirdly, I discuss communist vistas on revolution on concrete instances including (but not limited to) the Gandhian non-cooperation movement, the Moplah rebellion, the subcontinental proletariat, the problem of communalism, and assertion of minority identities. I argue that the CPI established a pattern of vacillation between qualified rejection and conditional appropriation of religion that loosely constituted two diverging revolutionary paradigms characterizing communist practice from the Soviet outset: Western and Eastern.

    MAHATMA Volume 3 [1930-1934] By: D. G. Tendulkar First Edition : 1951 Printed & Published by: The Publications Division Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Government of India, Patiala House New Delhi 110 001 MAHATMA - Volume 3 (1930-1934) www.mkgandhi.org Page 2 MAHATMA - Volume 3 (1930-1934) 01. Independence Pledge ( 1930 ) INDIA'S CRY for independence has "already resounded in all parts of the world," observed Jawaharlal Nehru in closing the session of the Lahore Congress. A week later Senator Blaine moved a resolution for recognition by the United States, of the Indian independence: "Whereas the people of India are now spontaneously moving towards the adoption of self- government under the constitutional form with popular approval and seeking national independence, therefore, be it resolved that the Senate of the United States, mindful of the struggle for independence that gave birth to our republic, participates with the people with deep interest that they feel for the success of the people of India in their struggle for liberty and independence." Earl Russel, Under-secretary for India, speaking at Labour Party meeting, stated that none knew better than Indians themselves how foolish it was to talk of complete independence. He said that dominion status was not possible at the moment and would not be for a long time. Great Britain had been guiding India along the road towards democracy and now to let her go suddenly would be a calamity for India. On January 2, 1930 the Congress Working Committee at its first meeting passed a resolution fixing Sunday, January 26, for a country-wide demonstration supporting the creed of Purna Swaraj or Complete Independence.

  • Ambedkar and the Indian Communists: the Absence of Conciliation
    Ambedkar and the Indian Communists: The Absence of Conciliation By Julian Kirby A Thesis submitted to the faculty of Graduate studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of History Joint Master’s Programme University of Manitoba/University of Winnipeg Winnipeg © 2008 2 Acknowledgments During my undergraduate degree, I found secularized Buddhist philosophy an excellent lens through which to interpret the world and my place in it. Buddhism has helped give me the strength to face several personal and physical hardships. Exploring Ambedkar’s personal journey towards Buddhist philosophy has provided new insight into Buddhism and strengthened my belief in its use as a rational means through which to examine my place in the world and my relationships with others. I would like to thank Professors Ravindiran Vaitheespara and Emma Alexander- Mudaliar for their help focusing my research and providing constructive criticism of my writing and ideas. I would also like to thank Mr. Richardson, my high school history teacher, for encouraging me to challenge conceptions and Natasha Thambirajah for her support and encouragement. Finally, I would like to thank my family for their love and support and my fiancée, Juliana, for her constant support and encouragement. i Abstract B. R. Ambedkar’s role as an Indian political leader during the late colonial period has attracted increased attention politically and historically. However, there is a startling disconnect between the modern, often mythological, construction of Ambedkar and the near forgotten historical figure. His broader programme for social uplift of the underprivileged is often lost in the record of his conflict with M.

    The Manifesto in India A Publishing History The story of how The Communist Manifesto came to be available in Indian lan- guages is not well-known. The Communist Party of India was founded on 17 October 1920 at Tashkent, and Communist groups were work- ing in different centres in India from the early 1920s. The access to the Manifesto for Indian revolutionaries was mainly through the cop- ies of the English editions which were smuggled into the country. In 1922, Ranchhoddas Bhuvan Lotwala brought out a series of pamphlets on scientific socialism under the imprint of Liberty Publi- cations. Among them was the Manifesto. This was the first ever print- ing of the document in India. It was priced 6 annas. According to S.A. Dange, founder of the Communist group in Bombay, a dozen A World to Win pamphlets were brought out by Lotwala. Other booklets published in this series were Wage, Labour and Capital by Engels, Religion of Capi- tal by Lafargue, and Communism by R. Palme Dutt. The March 1923 issue of the The Socialist, a monthly edited by Dange, advertised these pamphlets.1 According to G. Adhikari, ‘These pamphlets were among the meagre sources of knowledge of scientific socialism available to the English-educated intellectuals of those days’.2 The publisher of the first edition of the Manifesto, R.B. Lotwala, was a patriotic businessman who was attracted to Dange after reading his Gandhi vs Lenin published in 1921. In December 1922, he started the Lotwala Trust for advancing socialism in India.3 He went to En- gland in 1923 where he met left-wing Labour leaders and must have acquired some of the Marxist literature that he subsequently pub- lished.
