PAGE 52 Cover & Graphics: Mitra T ForwardThinking:Layout 1 7/27/2011 3:28 PM Page 2 Anyone who walks into my office notices two things be- side/behind me: the red Phule pagdi (turban) and a portrait of a balding William Carey with the caption “Friend of India, First Indian Periodical – 1818”. It also has a motto emblazoned on it: “Expect Great Things From God; Attempt Great Things For God”. Most who visit me there know of Mahatma Jotirao Phule but few, if any, including journalists and publishers, have even ORWARD heard of William Carey. When I introduce them to FTHINKING Carey they are usually excited and astounded that they have never heard of a man who contributed so greatly to the making of modern India. Vol. III No. 8 Bilingual AUGUST 2011 The very first issue of FORWARD Press featured an introduction to Carey, the first of a series by Thom Wolf, “You Owe Him but Do You Know Him?” We plan to publish a Dr Silvia Fernandes Chair, Aspire Prakashan Pvt. Ltd. collection of this series as separate books in English and in Hindi. But on the occasion of Prabhu Guptara the 250th birth anniversary of this great man, this “friend of India”, FP is probably one of Patron and Chief Advisor the few magazines in the world and possibly the only one in India that is focusing on Sunil Sardar William Carey. Our tribute to him includes my Editorial Essay raising the serious Patron and Advisor question of who is truly the “father of modern India” and making the case for a rewriting Satyaveer Chakrapani of the history of modern India. FP plans to soon launch this project on its pages. Director and Advisor Meanwhile, in this issue, Vishal Mangalwadi has contributed a tongue-in-cheek review of brahmanical criticism of Carey as “the nastiest Englishman that ever came to India”. Ivan Kostka This month also marks the 25th anniversary of the leading Hindi literary magazine Editor-in-Chief Hans. FP Hindi editor Pramod Ranjan and I had the privilege of an extended interview Ashish Alexander with both Hans editors Rajendra Yadav and Sanjeev, as well as some their literary visitors. Editor We carry the first of two parts with FP’s heartiest congratulations on this milestone Pramod Ranjan Editor (Hindi) achieved and wish Hans another 25 years at least. We also wish Hans would engage in the dialogue/debate on OBC Literature initiated in our July issue. Not only has there been a CONTRIBUTING EDITORS Prabhu Guptara (Europe) flood of serious and lengthy response to FP (some of which are in this month’s Letters to Dilip Mandal (New Delhi) the Editor) but it has been discussed at length on Facebook and Hindi websites. Vishal Mangalwadi (USA) I received a letter from Muslim community leader Syed Shahabuddin. Since his Gail Omvedt (New Delhi) Thom Wolf (New Delhi) objections were mainly directed to Pramod Ranjan regarding his research on caste composition of Bihar media, I got him to respond. We have published both the full let- ter and the response side by side. This underscores that while FP does have a point of Mitra T.

  • 'Lenin of Bihar'
    Frontier Vol. 44, No. 34, March 4-10, 2012 LOOKING BACK ‘LENIN OF BIHAR’ Ashok Yadav THERE HAVE BEEN MANY communist leaders in this country but none could fire the imagination of the people so much that the people could call any of them ‘Lenin’. Jagdeo Prasad was called ‘Lenin of Bihar’ even when he was alive. When he was killed BBC aired the news that ‘Bihar Lenin’ had been killed while a local Patna daily newspaper “Aryawart”, since closed and then owned by a Brahmin big landlord, carried the news that ‘the self-styled Lenin of Bihar killed’. Those were the stormy initial years of the Naxal movement. Jagdeo Prasad who never claimed himself a Communist, who openly branded Indian communist leaders as belonging to feudal class, who had conviction in parliamentary democracy, who rejected armed revolution, radicalized the politics of Bihar so much that the people began calling him ‘Lenin of Bihar’. While Naxalism saw feudalism in terms of mere land relations, Jagdeo Prasad saw it as primarily a casteist institution committed to social oppression and economic exploitation of the lower caste people. Though he did not approve Naxal politics, he had no ego to overcome to declare that he would repeat ‘Sahar’ (the hotbed of Naxal uprising in those times in Bhojpur district of Bihar) in the whole of Bihar. Master Jagdish, the hero of ‘naxal’ uprising in Sahar, was closely associated with Jagdeo Prasad. Unlike naxals, Jagdeo Prasad held big meetings all over Bihar that attracted thousands of poor people from dalit and backward castes which sent red signals in the feudal camps.

  • Enigma of Karpoori Thakur Manish Jha Expert: Pushpendra Kumar
    Paper: Contentious Politics and Popular Movement: Enigma of Karpoori Thakur Manish Jha Expert: Pushpendra Kumar Singh, Professor and in-charge , Centre for Development Practice and Research, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Patna This is a well-written draft. I am adding a few points for his consideration. Karpoori Thakur provides an opportunity to understand the contradictions of the Socialist politics or the politics of social justice (as articulated by the Socialists) and the ‘anti-caste’ movement against the upper caste hold over politics, economy and society. Karpoori Thakur also provides an opportunity to understand the complexities of the caste equation championed by Dr. Lohia. It would be interesting to see how Karpoori Thakur dealt with this complexity. For example, his closeness with some of the upper caste leaders such as Kapildeo Singh (a Bhumihar leader) and Sachchidanand Singh (a Rajput leader). Similarly, his strategy to divide the backward castes into Annex. I and Annex. II to deal with the dominance of the upper backward castes is worth analysis. The debate around that time around this ‘Karpoori Formula’ of reservation should be studied, particularly in the legislature. In this regard, his relationship with Jayprakash Narayan should also be studied who was reportedly unhappy with the Karpoori’s reservation policies and widely believed to be behind the protests against the Karpoori government. In fact, the inherent contradictions within the backward politics and Karpoori’s opposition to Yadav dominance became evident when Karpoori separated from Charan Singh’s BLD and formed a separate party – Dalit Mazdoor Kisan Party. However, the limitations of any effort to oppose Yadav dominance was evident from the compromises Karpoori Thakur had to make and his loss in 1984 Parliamentary elections.
