    MPSE-004 Social and Political Thoughts POLITICAL THOUGHT INDIA: THE DIVERSE STRANDS Structure 1.1 Jntroductioti 1.2 State and Sovereignty in Ancient India 1.3 State and Sovereignty in Medieval India 1.4 Religion and Polity l .S Summary 1.6 Exercises 1 .I INTRODUCTION To understand ~nodcrnIndian political thought, it is essential to have a broad view of the historical processes through which the modern polity has emerged. We have civilisation which is comparable with the Grcek civilisation and as Plato and Aristotle are considered as the pionecrs of westcrn political tradition, so are our ancient and medicval texts on statecraft. Whether it is tlie concept of monarchy, republicanism, council of ~ninisters,welfare state, diplomacy, espionage syste~nor any other political concept/inslitutio11isitutioi which is known in 111odet-npolitical parlance, all tliese Iiave refercnces in our early political traditions. Stale, society and governance are interlinked to each other. If we look at our past we will find that there was a rime when people used to live in small groups based on kinship ties and there was no need felt for a11 authority to coiltroi people's life. But with the growth of population atid claslics between groups of people, the need was felt for an authority wlio would provide the rcquired protection to his people and whose order would be obeyed by all. With the coming of groups of peoplc together, society came into existeilce which was followed by the emergence of state aiid the art of governance. So in a way we can say that individual nceds led to tlie c~licrgc~~ceof society and it is the collective need of the society which in turn led to tlic forn~ulationof various structures and theories related to state and governance.

  • Unit 21 Quit India Movement*
    Quit India and its * Aftermath UNIT 21 QUIT INDIA MOVEMENT Structure 21.1 Introduction 21.2 Nature of the Movement 21.3 War and Rumours 21.4 Preparations for Struggle 21.5 Political Situation in India in 1942 21.6 Regional Aspects of the Movement 21.7 Summary 21.8 Exercises 21.1 INTRODUCTION The Quit India Movement has rightly been described as the most massive anti- imperialist struggle on the eve of Partition and Independence. 1942, the year that the movement was launched and the next five years witnessed unparalleled and tumultuous events in the political history of India. Sharp increase in popular nationalism, large-scale deprivation and death due to widespread famine conditions particularly the Bengal Famine of 1943, heightened Japanese aggression in Burma and Malaya, hopes of a military deliverance through the onward march of the ‘Azad Hind Fauj’ of Subhas Chandra Bose, and widening of the communal divide leading to the vivisection of the political fabric of the country were some of these developments. In this Unit, you will learn about various aspects of the Quit India Movement launched by Gandhi and the Congress to achieve freedom for India. 21.2 NATURE OF THE MOVEMENT This movement was projected initially as the mass civil disobedience movement of 1942. The emphasis on the ‘mass’ aspect distinguished it from the controlled and limited individual satyagrahas or civil disobedience of 1941. In nationalist historiography it has been described as the ‘third great wave’ of struggle against the British. The movement differed radically from other movements launched by Mahatma Gandhi.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F S20<? lot 5 7 3 S Abstract This project aims at a re-interpretation of the work of two Indian political thinkers and activists - M. N. Roy (1887-1954) and J. P. Narayan (1902-1979). In light of their early affiliation with and later rejection of communism, Marxism and nationalism, they have often been reduced to representing an idealistic anti-Marxist strand of the Indian left of the immediate pre-independence and post-independence era. However, their case for radical democracy can and should be revised. Not only does their work run parallel to some important trends within the history of the European left and thus contributes to the history of left thinking in the early to mid 20th century, it may also have a lasting impact.
