  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. Salman Rushdie was on born 19 June 1947; he spent his childhood in Bombay but went to England at the age of fourteen to study at Rugby. He enrolled at Cambridge University to read history and afterwards lived mainly in Great Britain, before settling in the USA. After the Ayatollah Khomeini pronounced a fatwa against Rushdie and his novel The Satanic Verses (1988) in February 1989, Rushdie lived in hiding for several years but continued to write, produ- cing The Moor’s Last Sigh among other works. 2. The editions of the novels used are Midnight’s Children (MC) 1995, London: Vintage and The Moor’s Last Sigh (MLS) 1996, London: Vintage, and all page numbers in parentheses refer to these editions. 3. For a view similar to that of Brennan, see Conner 1997: 294–7. Teresa Heffernan likewise argues that Midnight’s Children is ‘from the outset sus- picious of the very model [...] of the modern nation’ (Heffernan 2000: 472); Thompson asserts that Rushdie eventually portrays the Indian nation as a ‘bad myth’ (Thompson 1995: 21). 4. See Bernd Hirsch 2001: 56–77. Heike Hartung focuses on exploring trends in western historiography in her study on the novels by Peter Ackroyd, Graham Swift and Salman Rushdie; she also briefly juxtaposes British and Indian his- toriography by contrasting the representation of the history of the Indian national movement in Percival Spear’s The Oxford History of India (1981) and Sumit Sarkar’s Modern India 1885–1947 (1989), without, however, making use of this material in her discussion of Rushdie’s novels (Hartung 2002: 235–41).

  • 1 India and Overseas Indians in Ceylon And
    India and Overseas Indians in Ceylon and Burma, 1946-1965: Experiments in Post- imperial Sovereignty Raphaëlle Khan Asia Center, Harvard University Email: [email protected] Taylor C. Sherman Department of International History, The London School of Economics and Political Science Email: [email protected] Abstract Despite the existence of a large Indian diaspora, there has been relatively little scholarly engagement with India’s relation to overseas Indians after its independence in 1947. The common narrative is that India abruptly cut ties with overseas Indians from that time until the 1990s, as it adhered to a territorially-based understanding of sovereignty and citizenship. By re-examining India’s relations with Indian communities in Ceylon and Burma between the late 1940s and the 1960s, this article demonstrates that, despite its rhetoric, India did not renounce its responsibility towards its diaspora at independence. To understand this continued engagement with overseas Indians, this article introduces the idea of post-imperial sovereignty. This type of sovereignty was layered, as imperial sovereignty had been, but was also concerned with advancing norms designed to protect migrant communities across the world. Keywords: diaspora, decolonization, migration, minorities, Asians, citizenship, sovereignty The authors are grateful to Ian Patel and to the participants of the workshop on Sovereignty and Power in South Asia and Beyond, organised by Neilesh Bose and Jon Wilson at King’s College London in June 2019, for their valuable feedback on earlier versions of this work. They would also like to thank the anonymous referees of Modern Asian Studies for their helpful comments.

This paper signifies the relationship between both countries from Independence till now. It consists of Indo-US relations glimpses at a glance. India and USA are two most prominent powers of the world scenario. USA is known as a super power of world and another side India is a developing and emerging superpower of Asian continent. Indo-US relations were friendly after the independence from the United Kingdom in 1947. The relationships between India and United States were thin in colonial days of British era. At the time of independence movement United States gave very strong support to the Indians in defense of British Empire [1]. After Independence Mrs. Vijya Lakshmi Pandit became Indian ambassador to United States. The United States under the Truman administration leaned towards favoring India in the late 1940s as a consequence of the most U.S. planners seeing India more valuable diplomatically than the neighboring Pakistan [2]. Nehru‟s 1949 tour of the United States was “an undiplomatic disaster” that left bad feelings on both sides. Nehru‟s vision was India should align with United States „somewhat‟ and build up our economic and military strength [3]. The Truman administration was quite favorable and indicated it would give Nehru anything he asked for, and thereby forfeited the chance for a gift of one million tons of wheat.

  • The Essential Writings of Jawaharlal Nehru'
    H-Asia Bhandari on Gopal, 'The Essential Writings of Jawaharlal Nehru' Review published on Saturday, July 1, 2006 S. Gopal, ed., Uma Iyengar. The Essential Writings of Jawaharlal Nehru. New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2003. 741 pp. No price listed (cloth), ISBN 978-0-19-565324-3. Reviewed by Vivek Bhandari (School of Social Science, Hampshire College)Published on H-Asia (July, 2006) Jawaharlal Nehru's imprint on the history of postcolonial India has been extraordinary. The contingencies that put Nehru at the helm of India's fledgling polity after the departure of the British in 1947 ensured that the decisions he took on behalf of the Indian nation-state had far-reaching ramifications. Nehru's view of the historical possibilities available to India at the dawn of its independence were shaped by his understanding of the West's historical trajectory, in which he saw universal significance. At the heart of this view lay his belief that independent India's national state should direct economic development; but also construct a constitutional, secular government, build economic opportunities for its predominantly agrarian population, and maintain sovereignty in the international arena through a policy of "non-alignment" in the Cold War. That this vision was constantly forced to make adjustments and compromises in the face of political instability is now a moot point. What emerges from a perusal of Nehru's voluminous writings is a sense of how, as a political leader, he was forced to be imaginative and creative with his worldview. The two-volume collection entitled The Essential Writings of Jawaharlal Nehru ed.

  • The Indian Civil Service and Indian Foreign Policy, 1923–1961
    THE INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE AND INDIAN FOREIGN POLICY, 1923–1961 Amit Das Gupta First published 2021 ISBN: 978-1-138-06424-9 (hbk) ISBN: 978-1-003-11884-8 (ebk) 1 INTRODUCTION (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) 1 INTRODUCTION Jawaharlal Nehru left a strong imprint on global affairs. Charismatic, handsome and a brilliant orator and writer, he led the largest decolonised country, setting examples with state-driven industrialisation and efforts to establish a new style in foreign affairs. He gave those a face and a voice who, until the end of the Second World War, had been denied looking after their own affairs and having a say in international politics. As Nehru was a towering figure at home and abroad, the years between 1947 and 1964 are rightfully termed the Nehruvian era. Accordingly, books on Indian foreign policy mostly start with the assumption that Nehru was its main or even sole architect. It appears to be self-evident that a country’s first prime min- ister would set everything on the right track, all the more so as Nehru was considered a foreign affairs expert even before India attained independence. Nevertheless, foreign policy never is a one-man show. Apart from Nehru’s main advisor, V. K. Krishna Menon, ministers like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel or G. B. Pant exercised a certain influence. At least equally important was the support and the counsel of officers of India’s Foreign Service (IFS), who ena- bled Nehru to pursue his goals in the international arena. The vast majority of them were neither mere tools to implement decisions nor men or women of Nehru’s making.
