Editor, JIMA awake to life and freedom.” — Pandit Nehru at Constituent Assembly of India , 1947 India gained freedom from British colonial rule on Friday, 15 August, 1947. This day of transfer of power was the culmination of years of struggle by people of the subcontinent. Although there was unconscionable loss of lives due to the partition of the area along religious lines, the day of independence is still a proud day in the history of our country. This success was gained due to involvement of all sections of the society, including doctors. This editorial, on this 74th commemoration of our Independence Day, will look back at the contribution of doctors in the Indian freedom movement. Freedom Struggle in India : True Freedom has two component – Spiritual attainment and Political attainment. So the Indian freedom struggle had to be fought on two fronts. On one hand, there was the political struggle and on the other, there was the urgent need to improve the condition of the society as a whole. The political struggle was being driven along two different ideologies: armed uprising and non-violent civil movement. The societal movement was fought along multiple lines. The Indian society at that time was stringently divided according to caste (in Hindu community), religion, and gender and of course, socio-economic status. Superstition, lack of education prevailed in society .It was not an easy task to bring the maharajas and nawabs in same platform with the commoners (whom the royalty despised) or to bring the Brahmins together with Dalits (whom the Brahmins considered impure). Raja Rammohan Roy, Vidyasagar, Swami Vivekananda worked to bring changes in society in terms social and spiritual attainment . Freedom movement was a myriad of internal conflicts, ego clashes and antagonistic decisions. Everyone had to do their bit to make this movement a success. Doctors had a very important role in all the phases and sections

  • Kadambini Ganguly and Women Empowerment in 19Th Century India
    Kadambini Ganguly and Women Empowerment in 19th Century India Dr. Sangeeta Chatterjee1 PROLOGUE: The 19th century British India went under age-old Indian religious and superstitious beliefs on the one hand and the modern ideologies induced by British thinking on the other. The question of gender equality and women empowerment had found no place at that period. The country itself was struggling for freedom, men were themselves not free and as such, they were not in the position to think about women. In the traditional patriarchal society, women were suffering from illiteracy and conservative orthodox dogmas, owing to which women themselves became the enemies of women. One popular belief was that, education would bring widowhood into the lives of women. This was one of the main reasons for discouraging women education in the 19th century Indian society. The practice of heinous crime, called Sati, child marriage, polygamy and the exploitation of Hindu widows in the name of obtaining merit in the eye of God made the situation more deplorable. At this juncture, few great thinkers and reformers came in India society, like Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, Raja Rammohan Roy, Sri Dwaraka Nath Ganguly, Durga Mohan Das, Kesab Chandra Sen, who started to spread women education as well as fought for gender equality and women empowerment. Among all these great thinkers and social activists of the then India, Sri Dwaraka Nath Ganguly had not only supported gender equality and women empowerment theoretically, but practically implemented these in his life. His wife Smt. Kadambini Ganguly was the first lady graduate from University of Calcutta and the first lady doctor from Calcutta Medical College.

  • Medical Education and Emergence of Women Medics in Colonial Bengal
    OCCASIONAL PAPER 37 Medical Education and Emergence of Women Medics in Colonial Bengal Sujata Mukherjee August 2012 l l INSTITUTE OF DEVELOPMENT STUDIES KOLKATA DD-27/D Salt Lake City, Sector - 1 Kolkata - 700 064 Phone : +91 (33) 23213120/21 Fax : +91 (33) 23213119 e-mail : [email protected], Website : www.idsk.edu.in Medical Education and Emergence of Women Medics in Colonial Bengal* Sujata Mukherjee** Introduction Existing accounts of growth of medical education for women in colonial India mostly focus on how it was facilitated by British administrators, missionaries, philanthropists, as well as Indian reformers who were eager to spread western education and health care facilities for Indian women. In such narratives, the wider colonial contexts of institutionalization of western science and medicine and growth of curative medicine, changing patterns of education and health services for women, the broader social impact of growth of women’s medical education etc. have received scant attention. I have attempted here to address these issues in my analysis of growth of medical education for aspirant female medics in order to bring out the complexities in the relationship of medicine, gender, politics of colonialism and social reforms in colonial Bengal. It would essentially involve analyses of the evolution of colonial policies regarding medical education as well as gender and of indigenous views and activities regarding modernizing Indian society. What were the changing contexts of imperial administration which shaped the chief features of colonial policies regarding gender and medicine? How and to what extent did indigenous reformers respond to the changing context and make attempts to reform women’s condition by bringing educational and health reforms? What were the social consequences of the spread of women’s medical education? These are some of the issues dealt with here.

  • Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, Volume 98
    1. GIVE AND TAKE1 A Sindhi sufferer writes: At this critical time when thousands of our countrymen are leaving their ancestral homes and are pouring in from Sind, the Punjab and the N. W. F. P., I find that there is, in some sections of the Hindus, a provincial spirit. Those who are coming here suffered terribly and deserve all the warmth that the Hindus of the Indian Union can reasonably give. You have rightly called them dukhi,2 though they are commonly called sharanarthis. The problem is so great that no government can cope with it unless the people back the efforts with all their might. I am sorry to confess that some of the landlords have increased the rents of houses enormously and some are demanding pagri. May I request you to raise your voice against the provincial spirit and the pagri system specially at this time of terrible suffering? Though I sympathize with the writer, I cannot endorse his analysis. Nevertheless I am able to testify that there are rapacious landlords who are not ashamed to fatten themselves at the expense of the sufferers. But I know personally that there are others who, though they may not be able or willing to go as far as the writer or I may wish, do put themselves to inconvenience in order to lessen the suffering of the victims. The best way to lighten the burden is for the sufferers to learn how to profit by this unexpected blow. They should learn the art of humility which demands a rigorous self-searching rather than a search of others and consequent criticism, often harsh, oftener undeserved and only sometimes deserved.

  • 19Th Century Women Emancipation Movement and Bengali Theatre
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY FIELD ISSN: 2455-0620 Volume - 5, Issue - 6, June – 2019 Monthly, Peer-Reviewed, Refereed, Indexed Journal with IC Value: 86.87 Scientific Journal Impact Factor: 6.497 Received on : 13/06/2019 Accepted on : 22/06/2019 Publication Date: 30/06/2019 19th Century Women Emancipation Movement and Bengali Theatre Dr. Dani Karmakar Guest Teacher, Department of Drama, Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata, West Bengal, India Email - [email protected] Abstract: In the nineteenth century, the expansion of Western education and Culture led to the emergence of rational progressive ideas in the minds of Bengali youth. The society started roaring against Hindu inhuman customs as sati, polygamy, child marriage and the caste system. As a result, the brutal Sati was abolished. 'Widow Remarriage Act' was formulated. In the second half of the nineteenth century, due to the spread of institutional education for women, progressive thinking spread among women. Women's position in society and women's rights highlighted through stories, novels, plays, essays and autobiographies. After taking higher education, someone went to study medicine in Europe, someone became the Principal of the college, and someone joined other jobs. Bengali Theatre was influenced by these social movements of women. In Bengali theater, situation of women's misery were also presented. Some playwright quizzed against women emancipation movement. Actresses started perform in Bengali Theatre. The women wrote many plays. So nineteenth century was the century of emancipation movement. In this century women became aware their own individuality. The women awakening in this nineteenth century shows an example of revolutionary feminism.

  • Women Behind Mahatma Gandhi
    WOMEN BEHIND MAHATMA GANDHI WOMEN BEHIND MAHATMA GANDHI by ELEANOR MORTON MAX REINHARDT LONDON 1 PREFACE his book really began more than a quarter of a century T ago, when one afternoon at the home of friends my husband and I heard Rabindranath Tagore in a reading of his poems, with a talk on India following. During a short conversation later, he spoke of Gandhi as a new national leader; it was the first" time that I had ever heard of him. In the years that followed I met many of Gandhi’s friends and co-workers as well as many of his adversaries, both Indian and British. When Sarojini Naidu lectured here on the India problem, as Gandhi was attacking it, I heard her and spoke with her. Later, Madeleine Slade, Miraben, came to Pendle Hill, our Quaker graduate school of religion and social studies; I heard her speak on India and met her personally, I heard Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit speak before audiences, and was present at interviews given to the press. I met Annie Besant through friends, when - as an old woman - she came on a lecture tour to America. I met Sushi la Nayyar when she was a guest at Pendle Hill and after addresses given before various groups. I met Chakravarty, Gandhi’s disciple, after his address before a Friends’ Meeting, and heard him speak before other audiences also. At the homes of friends, S. Burns Weston and Jennie May Fels, I met Ramsay MacDonald and Lord Harry Snell. When Winston Churchill lectured here shortly after the First World War, I heard him and spoke with him briefly.

  • 1. Letter to Additional Secretary, Home Department, Government of India
    1. LETTER TO ADDITIONAL SECRETARY, HOME DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA DETENTION CAMP, January 27, 1944 ADDITIONAL SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA (HOME DEPARTMENT) NEW DELHI SIR, Some days ago Shri Kasturba Gandhi told the Inspector-General of prisons and Col. Shah that Dr. Dinshaw Mehta of Poona be invited to assist in her treatment. Nothing seems to have come out of her request. She has become insistent now and asked me if I had written to the Government in the matter. I, therefore, ask for immediate permission to bring in Dr. Mehta. She has also told me and my son that she would like to have some Ayurvedic physician to see her.1 I suggest that the I.G.P. be authorized to permit such assistance when requested. 2. I have no reply as yet to my request2 that Shri Kanu Gandhi, who is being permitted to visit the patient every alternate day, be allowed to remain in the camp as a whole-time nurse. The patient shows no signs of recovery and night-nursing is becoming more and more exacting. Kanu Gandhi is an ideal nurse, having nursed the patient before. And what is more, he can soothe her by giving her instrumental music and by singing bhajans. I request early relief to relieve the existing pressure. The matter may be treated as very urgent. 3. The Superintendent of the camp informs me that when visitors come, one nurse only can be present. Hitherto more than one nurse has attended when necessary. The Superintendent used his discretion as to the necessity.

  • A Glance on Women Empowerment & Development in India
    Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: D History, Archaeology & Anthropology Volume 14 Issue 5 Version 1.0 Year 2014 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Some Women of Inspiration: A Glance on Women Empowerment & Development in India By Dipankar Naskar Bidhan Chandra College, India Abstract- This paper makes an attempt to understand women’s position under the society and the way it has affected our globalised society. The present paper is an attempt to study the status of women empowerment and development in India using various indicators like women’s inspiration in household decision making power, financial autonomy, political participation, freedom of movement, acceptance of unequal gender role, exposure to media, access to education, experience of domestic violence etc. In recent years, the emphasis has included empowerment, which increases women's decision-making capability and well-being. It analyses the strategies that Women Education and Inspiration has used to mobilize and empower self- employed. Inspiration and Education is the most powerful tool of change of position in our globalized society. The focal point of this paper may be treated as one directly related with development studies. The social understanding of the empowerment and development of women in India must be treated as an unfinished and continuing process.

MAULANA IS ILL BUT AT WORK. EXPECTING TO REACH WARDHA FEBRUARY. WRITING. GANDHI From a copy: Pyarelal Papers. Courtesy: Pyarelal 2. LETTER TO JIVANJI D. DESAI SODEPUR, December 7, 1945 CHI. JIVANJI, I got your proof-copy of the pamphlet on constructive work yesterday. I wanted to use that copy here and did so. But I had already gone through the proof earlier. As there is no letter accom- panying it, I don’t quite understand why you have sent it. You have given a heading to my preface but there is no heading on the page on which the pamphlet itself begins. I infer from this that final touches still remain to be given to the printing. I have of course asked Pyare- lalji to write to you about this, but I think it is better to dictate this just now in the morning. I have the impression that I have already written to you about the cover. My suggestion is that the eighteen headings which you have given in the pamphlet should be reproduced on the cover in their proper order, with the page number given against each. This will help the reader and we shall be able to show what topics have been covered. The topics can also be shown on the cover in the form of a circle. We can have a drawing of the spinning-wheel in the centre and the head- ings can be printed round it like the planets round the sun.
