And yet it is a truly- important work destined to have a great educational effect. It is a history of India's peaceful- struggle for liberation under Gandhi's guidance. All that happened there came about in our time — under our very eyes. What makes the book into a most effective work of art is simply the choice and arrangement of the facts reported. It is the skill pf the born historian, in whose hands the various threads are held together and woven into a pattern from which a complete picture emerges. How is it that a young man is able to create such a mature work? The author gives us the explanation in an introduction: He considers it his bounden duty to serve a cause with all his ower and without flinching from any sacrifice, a cause v aich was clearly embodied in Gandhi's unique personality: to overcome, by means of the awakening of moral forces, the danger of self-destruction by which humanity is threatened through breath-taking technical developments. The threatening downfall is characterized by such terms as "depersonalization" regimentation “total war"; salvation by the words “personal responsibility together with non-violence and service to mankind in the spirit of Gandhi I believe the author to be perfectly right in his claim that each individual must come to a clear decision for himself in this important matter: There is no “middle ground ".

  • "New Music" Between Afghanistan and Its Transnational Community by John Baily* (London, United Kingdom)
    Congrès des Musiques dans le monde de l'islam. Assilah, 8-13 août 2007. Conference on Music in the world of Islam. Assilah, 8-13 August, 2007. The circulation of "New Music" between Afghanistan and its transnational community by John Baily* (London, United Kingdom) The background I, along with my wife Veronica Doubleday,1 have been engaged with the music of Afghanistan for the last 35 years. The foundation of my knowledge of Afghan music comes from 2 years fieldwork in Herat, and to a much lesser extent Kabul, in the 1970s. My first foray into the Afghan diaspora was in 1985, making the film Amir: An Afghan refugee musician's life in Peshawar, Pakistan. Since then I have conducted further fieldwork on Afghan music in Peshawar, in Mashad, New York, Herat (in 1994, in the interval between the communists and the Taliban) and Fremont (California). Since the defeat of the Taliban I made four visits to Kabul, where I set up a music school for the Aga Khan Music Initiative in Central Asia. The Arts and Humanities Research Council in the UK has a Diasporas, Migration & Identities Programme, which in 2006 gave me funding to carry out research Afghan music in London, and London's connections with Kabul, Hamburg (with a very large Afghan colony), and Dublin (with a very small one). My paper today considers some of the more general questions that arise about the circulation of music between Afghanistan and the Afghan diaspora that my study raises. This is very much a preliminary report on work in progress.

  • Hindus, Mohammedans Vis-A-Vis Sikhs
    36 HINDUS, MOHAMMEDANS VIS-A-VIS SIKHS Sikhs have generally been working under the Hindu spell that they were created only to defend the Hindu Dharam and Hindu Nation. This purpose having been fulfilled, a section of the Hindus who have never tolerated the independent existence of the Sikhs, have begun to suggest that the Sikhs should better merge now into the Hindu fold. This spell had even created a common aversion amongst the Sikhs towards the Muslims as a whole. It will be worthwhile, therefore, to look into the facts and reality of their mutual relations. Sikhism, the Satguru’s way of life, was founded by Guru Nanak. We have seen that when Guru Nanak started this movement in India, the Aryan and Semitic thoughts and cultures were in conflict. Sometimes it took shape of bloody happenings and aggression and tyranny on the physically and politically weak which were the Hindu Aryans. Guru Nanak struck the middle way. It steered clear of both, though it passed through the middle. It was an independent approach. This is vividly and definitely made clear by the tenth Satguru in his significant Swayya that we recite every evening : Since I have embraced Thy Feet, I have brought no one under my eye : gkfJ rj/ ip s/ s[wo/ sp s/ e'T{ nKy so/ Bjh nkB:' . Ram and Rahim, the Purans and the Quran express various opinions, but I believe in none of them. okw ojhw g[okB e[okB nB/e ej?_ ws J/e B wkB:' .

  • Great Gama Workout
    Great gama workout Continue Indian wrestler for stampede wrestling villain and professional wrestler of the 1970s - 2000s, see Gama Singh. Gama PehalwanBirt namedGulam Mohammad Bakshborn (1878-05-22)22 May 1878Amritsar, Punjab, British India Punjab, PakistanFamilyImam Baksh Pahalwan (brother)Kalsoom Nawaz Sharif (granddaughter) Professional wrestling careerRing name (s)Gama PahalwanBilled height 5 feet 7 in (170 cm) , commonly known as Rustam-e-Hind (Hindi Urdu for the champion of India) and named the ring of the Great Gama, was an Indian wrestler who remained undefeated. Born in Amritsar, Punjab province of colonial India in 1878, on October 15, 1910, he was awarded the Indian version of the World Heavyweight Championship, and on October 15, 1910, he defeated the world champions in freestyle wrestling. Unbeaten in a career spanning more than 52 years, he is considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. During the partition of India, the Great Gama saved the lives of many Hindus and then spent the rest of her days until her death on May 23, 1960, in Lahore, which became part of the newly created state of Pakistan. Early in his life, Ghulam Mohammad Baksh Butt was born in Amritsar to a Kashmiri Muslim wrestling family in the Punjabi region of northern India. He is from a family of wrestlers that is known to produce world-class wrestlers. The Butt family, historians believe, were originally Kashmiri Brahmins (Butta) who converted to Islam during Muslim rule in Kashmir. Gama had two wives, one in Punjab and the other in Baroda, Gujarat, India. After the death of his father Muhammad Aziz Baksh when he was six years old, Gama was placed in the care of his maternal grandfather, Nun Pahalwan.

Ingram Abstract: »Eine ‚moderne‘ Madrasa: Deoband und koloniale Säkularität«. This article situates the emergence of the Deoband movement, an Islamic revivalist movement based at India’s Dar al-‘Ulum Deoband madrasa (seminary), within concepts of colonial secularity in British India. It shows how the decline of first Mughal and then British patronage for Islamic learning, as well as the post- 1857 British policy of non-interference in ‘religious’ matters, opened up a space for Deobandi scholars to re-conceive the madrasa as a ‘religious’ institution ra- ther than one engaged in the production of civil servants, to reimagine the ‘ulama’ as stewards of public morality rather than professionals in the service of the state, and to reframe the knowledge they purveyed as ‘religious’ knowledge distinct from the ‘useful’ secular knowledge promoted by the Brit- ish.
