1. KHADI in KATHIAWAD Readers Must Be Aware That in Order to Make the Khadi Activity More Extensive and More Popular a Committee Has Been Set Up 1. KHADI IN KATHIAWAD Readers must be aware that in order to make the khadi activity more extensive and more popular a Committee has been set up. Shri Nanabhai has been appointed its President and Shri Nagardas Doshi is its Secretary. The money which was collected on the occasion of the Rentia Jayanti1 and which I had deposited with Shri Narandas Gandhi has been given to the Committee.2 I have received a report of this khadi activity for the period 1938 to 1941 entitled Kathiawadna Khadikamno Heval, published by Pandya Khadi Karyalaya, Chalala. The following paragraphs3 from that will give some idea of the khadi activity. The number of spinners in 1938 was 150 which rose to 600 in 1941. In 1941 there were 500 caste Hindus, 18 Muslims and 12 Harijan spinners. In 1938 the wages given came to Rs. 3,481 while in 1941 the amount was Rs. 18,948. The monthly income of a spinner in 1938 was Rs. 4-12 while in 1941 it rose to Rs. 10. The weavers’ wages increased from Rs. 12 to Rs. 30 and that of carders to Rs. 18 from Rs. 7. The report is good. There is scope for raising the figures. The progress of the work is satisfactory. We can easily gauge the efforts of Shri Nagardas. But Kathiawad is a small province with a population of 26 lakhs. There is scope for much work. How can we increase the number of workers? In other words how can we make the work more interesting and attractive? [From Gujarati] Harijanbandhu, 7-6-1942 1 Gandhiji’s birthday according to the Vikram Calendar 2 Vide “Letter to Narandas Gandhi”, 30-6-1942. 3 Not translated here. The report stated that the Chalala Khadi Karyalaya had become the headquarters for khadi production and sales centres in Kathiawar. There was no paid worker to carry On the routine office work, which was done by workers over and above their other activities. VOL. 83 : 7 JUNE, 1942 - 26 JANUARY, 1944 1 2. RAJAJI Although I retain the opinion I have expressed about my differences with Rajaji, and although I adhere to every word I have said and he has quoted, and although I reaffirm my opinion that my language taken in its context does not bear the interpretation Rajaji puts upon it. I do not propose henceforth to enter into any public controversy with him. I join him in hoping that some day I shall see the error of my views which he sees so clearly. But public controversy with close companions like Rajaji repels me. He has a new mission and he has need to speak. SEVAGRAM, June 7, 1942 Harijan, 14-6-1942 3. LETTER TO C. RAJAGOPALACHARI June 7, l 942 MY DEAR C.R., Nonsense. You are not fallen. These differences mean nothing. I have already written a note1 for H[arijan] that I shall no longer enter into controversy with you. You must not feel dejected either. Therefore you should come here for rest, jokes and a renewal of strength and joy. Your argument I do not understand. Come here and explain. Tell me in whose name the houses should go. Better write to Kamalnayan. Love. BAPU From a photostat: G.N. 2088 4. NO SALVATION WITHOUT SACRIFICE Accounts pour in upon me from all quarters about the action of the authorities demanding evacuation without notice. Sometimes it is a zamindar who is to surrender his bungalow and sometimes it is a middle-class man who has to surrender his house with fans and 1Vide the preceding item 2 THE COLLECTED WORKS OF MAHATMA GANDHI furniture for the use of the military. More often it is villagers or labourers who are called upon under promise of compensation to vacate their quarters. The condition of these people is piteous. They do not know where to go. To these I can only say, ‘Do not move— and take the consequences. They cannot be forcibly ejected. Even if they are, their cry will be heard whereas newspaper articles will be of little avail. SEVAGRAM, June 8, 1942 Harijan, 14-6-1942 5. LETTER TO AMRIT KAUR SEVAGRAM, WARDHA, June 8, I 942 CHI. AMRIT, Your letter. Sushila comes here on 18th for a week. I think she has come first—nothing much among five candidates. Sushila says nothing about the place she has got. I hope there is nothing serious with S.’s eyes. J.L. came in yesterday. He slept in Sevagram, Maulana comes tomorrow. Love. BAPU From the original: C.W. 413O. Courtesy: Amrit Kaur. Also G.N. 7439 VOL. 83 : 7 JUNE, 1942 - 26 JANUARY, 1944 3 6. LETTER TO D. B. KALELKAR June 8, 1942 CHI. KAKA, I got your letter. Since there is already an agreement between us made long ago that you should consult me before taking up anything new, where is the need of a fresh one? You have assumed heavy responsibilities, and the work about Hindustani is not an easy one either. However, you must fulfil this responsibility. Do it as well as you can. You must categorically refuse to go anywhere else, whether it is to Vanasthali or Vedchhi or Ambala. If you cannot remember the decisions taken by you, you should ask either Amritlal or Saroj to remind you and to get them implemented. Blessings from BAPU From a photostat of the Gujarati: G.N. 10958 7. LETTER TO VALLABHRAM VAIDYA SEVAGRAM, June 81, 1942 BHAI VALLABHRAM, I could read the whole of your letter only today. It did help me to understand your mind but it did not satisfy me. That is because the task which you seek to accomplish cannot be accomplished with what you intend doing. Many vaidyas have raised farms of the kind you want. No doubt you can improve upon them, but you cannot reform the vaidyas. I offered to entrust my entire treatment to the vaidyas but I was disappointed. Lakshmipati wanted to settle here and made all the preparations but never turned up. I sent a patient to him whom he dismissed telling him that he was all right. The patient came back as ill as ever. I tried to lure you to come and settle down here and conduct experiments but there were difficulties in your way. 1 Pyarelal Papers has “9”. 4 THE COLLECTED WORKS OF MAHATMA GANDHI Although I have said all this my blessings are with you. Your intentions are pure; may they bear fruit. At present it is allopathy that commands enterprise, industry and knowledge. It is a developing science. It has many defects. Its pharmacopoeia is vast and yet very restricted. But it is systematic and so can draw upon whatever is special in Ayurveda. However, it is worth reflecting upon that if Ayurveda were to take what is special in allopathy the latter would be left with nothing but a few drugs. Blessings from BAPU SHRI VALLABHRAM VAIDYA 23 SAURASHTRA SOCIETY AHMEDABAD From Gujarati: C.W. 2921. Courtesy: Vallabhram Vaidya. Also Pyarelal Papers. Courtesy: Pyarelal 8. LETTER TO KRISHNACHANDRA June 8, 1942 CHI. KRISHNACHANDRA, What you say about Ram Prakashji is true, but we should have the strength to assimilate such persons. Some work should be found for them. And if they cannot do it they should be clearly told that they cannot live in the Ashram. As to your first letter all I can say is that you should continue to do the work that you have been doing. I will write whenever you say. So long as you do not have confidence in Chi. it is better to keep quiet. Blessings from BAPU From a photostat of the Hindi: G.N. 4430; also S.N. 24481 9. LETTER TO AMRIT KAUR SEVAGRAM, WARDHA, June 9, 1942 CHI. AMRIT, I am having long and pleasant chats with J. L. I have a journalist with me recommended by J. L. He leaves tomorrow. L. Fischer is his VOL. 83 : 7 JUNE, 1942 - 26 JANUARY, 1944 5 name. Khurshedbehn is still here. She has been looking after the guests. Maulana comes tonight. Here is a letter from Benares. Perhaps you remember the thing. Love. BAPU From the original: C.W. 4131. Courtesy: Amrit Kaur. Also G.N. 7440 10. LETTER TO MRIDULA SARABHAI SEVAGRAM, WARDHA, June 9, 1942 CHI. MRIDU, I have your letter. It is good the resolutions were passed. There is no harm in there having been amendments. Jawaharlal stayed at the Ashram for two days. He has gone to Wardha today because the Maulana is coming. He will now be here for at least a day. We are having discussions. S. has written to me in detail about you. In this way we often get unexpected help. He is a gentleman. Obtain the book regarding Juthabhai. I have been told about Kamala Devi being appointed President. My congratulations to her. Take care of your health. Why did you have bleeding from the nose ? Does it happen occasionally ? Your suggestions about the bulletin, etc. are good. Right now the conditions are not congenial. Let me see what can be done. This time it is likely to be a bitter fight. We are ready for anything that may happen. Blessings from BAPU From the Gujarati original: C.W. 11228. Courtesy: Sarabhai Foundation 11. LETTER TO BHAGWANDAS SEVAGRAM, June 9, 1942 BABUJI, I was delighted to have your letter. I had also received your book. I have even glanced through it. I think what I am doing these days is the thing you want. Be it as 6 THE COLLECTED WORKS OF MAHATMA GANDHI it may, I feel overwhelmed by your great effort.

  • In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

  • Gandhi 150: “Absorb Whatever Appears Good in My Life”
    Mainstream Weekly Mainstream, VOL LVI No 41 New Delhi September 29, 2018 Gandhi 150: “Absorb whatever appears good in my life” Saturday 29 September 2018 by D.M. Diwakar I. Introduction The stage is all set to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi with great fanfare on October 2, 2019. It is a pleasant moment for a proud nation to pay sincere gratitude and tributes to the Father of the Nation. This is also an occasion to remember his ideals, vision, philosophy, programmes and actions, a moment for an introspection to review critically the journey that we have made so far and pledge ourselves with commitments and determination to fine-tune, customise, and adapt those elements and values as our future destinations and course of actions to work for the reconstruction of a non-violent order in society, nation and the world that should be free from structural violence. This exercise is intended to flag some issues through Gandhi’s lens, based on a brief recapitulation of his writings about what he was observing on his birthday in his lifetime. The question arises: Can we find any insight from those observations during the lifetime of Mahatma Gandhi for today? An attempt is made here to focus on the issues that he had been flagging. Is there any message from those documents for today? In other words, if Gandhi would have been with us today what would have been his way of observing his birthday? I will rely mainly on the Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi (CWMG) for this purpose.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Nonviolence is the pillar of Gandhi‘s life and work. His concept of nonviolence was based on cultivating a particular philosophical outlook and was integrally associated with truth. For him, nonviolence not just meant refraining from physical violence interpersonally and nationally but refraining from the inner violence of the heart as well. It meant the practice of active love towards one‘s oppressor and enemies in the pursuit of justice, truth and peace; ―Nonviolence cannot be preached‖ he insisted, ―It has to be practiced.‖ (Dear John, 2004). Non Violence is mightier than violence. Gandhi had studied very well the basic nature of man. To him, "Man as animal is violent, but in spirit he is non-violent.‖ The moment he awakes to the spirit within, he cannot remain violent". Thus, violence is artificial to him whereas non-violence has always an edge over violence. (Gandhi, M.K., 1935). Mahatma Gandhi‘s nonviolent struggle which helped in attaining independence is the biggest example. Ahimsa (nonviolence) has been part of Indian religious tradition for centuries. According to Mahatma Gandhi the concept of nonviolence has two dimensions i.e. nonviolence in action and nonviolence in thought. It is not a negative virtue rather it is positive state of love. The underlying principle of non- violence is "hate the sin, but not the sinner." Gandhi believes that man is a part of God, and the same divine spark resides in all men. Since the same spirit resides in all men, the possibility of reforming the meanest of men cannot be ruled out.

  • Modi's First Speech in Parliament June 2014 Honourable Madam Speaker
    Modi’s first speech in Parliament June 2014 Honourable Madam Speaker, I am in this house for the first time today. My entry is also new, and the opportunity to give a speech is also happening for the first time. The parliamentary traditions of this House have been very high. There are many senior veterans in this House who are very experienced. Veterans with an experience of three or four decades in which they have raised the questions/problems of the nation, resolved them, and consistently worked hard for the nation, are sitting in this house today. When a new person like me says something, there may be some lapses in maintaining the dignity and decorum of the House. For being new, you will forgive those lapse, I am fully certain. 01:40 More than 50 respected members of the Lok Sabha presented their opinions on the President's speech. I heard almost all the speeches, some while sitting in the House and some while sitting in my room. Respected Mallikarjunaji, eespected Mulayam Singhji, respected Dr Thambhiduraiji, Bhartuhariji, leaders of Trinamool Congress. I heard the veterans. It is true that a tone was conveyed, that “you have said a lot of things but how will you do it ? When will you do it ?” I believe that the right topic is touched, and it is very natural for these questions to be raised. I will recount an experience of mine In Gujarat. I had just become the new Chief Minister in Gujarat. Once I said in the house, “I want to provide electricity in the villages of Gujarat 24 hours a day”.

  • Water in Yoruba Belief and Imperative for Environmental Sustainability
    Journal of Philosophy, Culture and Religion www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8443 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.28, 2017 Water in Yoruba Belief and Imperative for Environmental Sustainability Adewale O. Owoseni Department of Philosophy, University of Ibadan, University of Ibadan Post Office, Nigeria Abstract The observation by scholars that the typical African people are often overtly religious in matters of interpreting reality demands a critical outlook with allusion to apt consideration of phenomena in relevant locale within the African space. The phenomenon of water has received copious attention worldwide and the need to consider this within an African nay Yoruba worldview is timely. The Yoruba of Southwestern Nigeria are wont to express that ‘water is the converge of good health, no one can despise it’ – omi labuwe, omi labumi, eni kan kii ba omi s’oota . This expression among other narratives convey a symbolic and paradoxical representation of water, which depicts the metaphysical dialectics of water in Yoruba belief. Basically, it renders the phenomenon of water as an entity that has the potency to vitalize and disrupt life-forms, given the beliefs regarding its place in relationship with certain animals like buffalo, fish and some endangered species, plants, trees as well as humans. Resultant impediments that fraught environmental order such as flood, draught and water borne diseases or outbreak in this regard are often linked to these beliefs. This is believed to be due to negating demands of the essential place of water by aberrant practices/acts, abuse, negligence of venerating ancestral grooves, goddesses or spirit. In lieu of this, this discourse adopts a hermeneutic analysis of the phenomenon and argues that the understanding of water in indigenous Yoruba belief is underscored by the dialectics of positive and negative causes that also impact the course of environmental sustainability.

  • Congress Activities 1944
    Congress Activities 1944 Congressmen in Gujerat Districts have been returned unopposed during the recent elections to local bodies. A statement issued in this connection by prominent Congressmen of Gujerat like Jiwanlal H. Diwan and Khandubhai K. Desai declares that the underlying intention of contesting these elections is not to work the adminstration of these bodies but to show the extent of Congress influence over the public, the people's faith in the Congress policy and hatred towards the present policy of Government. The Gujerat Congress Seva Dal opened a “Workers' Training Class” in the premises of the Gujerat Vidyapith, Ahmedabad, from May 5th. About 100 candidates have joined. An informal meeting of about 50 Congressmen was held at Bombay on May 9th under the presidentship of Nagindas T. Master when resolutions were adopted (1) reiterating the unflinching faith of Congressmen in Gandhi's leadership and (2) exhorting all Congressmen to continue the constructive programme of the Congress, offer help to the victims of the recent explosions and render assistance in redressing the hardship caused by food shortage, famine and disease. M. R. Masani, H. R. Pardiwala, Joachim Alva, Mrs. Violet Alva and Ishwarbhai S. Patel were prominent amongst those attended. At Poona about 25 Congressmen assembled on May 21st under the presidentship of V. P. Limaye and appointed a Committee with B. M. Gupte as President and A. T. Dandavate as Secretary to organise collections for the Kasturba Memorial Fund and 5,000 spindles of yarn to be presented to M. K. Gandhi on his next birth-day. The Committee further decided to take up mass spinning and render all possible assistance to Rashtra Seva Dal Branches.

  • Topic :- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
    DR. JYOTI PRABHA ASSISTANT PROFESSOR DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY M.R.M. COLLEGE, L.N.M.U., DARBHANGA 2ND SEMESTER, SESSION: 2019-21 CC- 5 : HISTORY OF IDEAS UNIT- 1: HISTORY OF IDEAS, ANCIENT AND MEDIEVAL TOPIC :- MOHANDAS KARAMCHAND GANDHI Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi ( 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist, who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British Rule, and in turn inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā (Sanskrit: "great-souled", "venerable"), first applied to him in 1914 in South Africa, is now used throughout the world. Born and raised in a Hindu family in coastal Gujarat, western India, Gandhi was trained in law at the Inner Temple, London, and called to the bar at age 22 in June 1891. After two uncertain years in India, where he was unable to start a successful law practice, he moved to South Africa in 1893 to represent an Indian merchant in a lawsuit. He went on to stay for 21 years. It was in South Africa that Gandhi raised a family, and first employed nonviolent resistance in a campaign for civil rights. In 1915, aged 45, he returned to India. He set about organizing peasants, farmers, and urban labourers to protest against excessive land-tax and discrimination. Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women's rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, and above all for achieving Swaraj or self-rule.
