  • Aspects of Indian Modernity: a Personal Perspective
    ASPECTS OF INDIAN MODERNITY: A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE MOHAN RAMANAN University of Hyderabad, India [email protected] 75 I There are two Indias. One is called Bharat, after a legendary King. This represents a traditional culture strongly rooted in religion. The other is India, the creation of a modern set of circumstances. It has to do with British rule and the modernities set in motion by that phenomenon. India as a nation is very much a creation of the encounter between an ancient people and a western discourse. The British unified the geographical space we call India in a manner never done before. Only Asoka the Great and Akbar the Great had brought large parts of the Indian sub- continent under their control, but their empires were not as potent or as organized as the British Empire. The British gave India communications, railways, the telegraph and telephones; they organized their knowledge of India systematically by surveying the landscape, categorizing the flora and fauna and by dividing the population into castes and religious groupings. Edward Said has shown in his well- known general studies of the colonial enterprise how this accumulation of knowledge is a way of establishing power. In India the British engaged themselves in this knowledge accumulation to give themselves an Empire and a free market and a site to work their experiments in social engineering. This command of the land also translated into command of the languages of the people. British scholars like G.U. Pope and C.P. Brown, to name only two, miscelánea: a journal of english and american studies 34 (2006): pp.

  • UNIT 26 the WORKING CLASS* the Peasantry
    UNIT 26 THE WORKING CLASS* The Peasantry Structure 26.1 Introduction 26.2 Growth and Conditions of Modern Working Class 26.3 Nationalists and the Workers in the Early Phase 26.4 Nationalists and Working Class in the Era of Mass Nationalism 26.4.1 Working Class Movements from 1918 to 1926 26.4.2 Working Class and Nationalist Movement between 1927 and 1937 26.4.3 Working Class and Nationalism from 1937 to 1947 26.5 Summary 26.6 Exercises 26.1 INTRODUCTION The rise of modern industry resulted in the formation of collectivities of workers in certain cities. In some big urban centres (such as Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Kanpur, Ahmedabad, and Jamshedpur), their presence was overwhelming. Any political party trying to build its base would attempt to mobilise them. Nationalism was the most important ideology and sentiment spreading throughout India during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The workers were also not untouched by it. However, the relationship between the workers and the nationalists, particularly represented by the Congress, was not always close and uniform. It is the nature and dynamic of this association that we will discuss in this Unit. 26.2 GROWTH AND CONDITIONS OF MODERN WORKING CLASS The growth of plantations, coal-mining, railways and mill industries in the nineteenth century resulted in the rise of the modern working class. It was a modern working class in the sense of relatively modern organisation of labour and a relatively free market for labour. There were certain important exceptions to this rule. The plantation workers, who also worked for the capitalist employers and produced goods which were sold in the international markets, were recruited and worked under unfree conditions.

They devoted their entire life for the betterment of mankind. They have not served their duties to liberate themselves but to liberate those who are socially deprived, who are known as backward classes in the society and who are totally untouched from light of education. In this research article I would like to highlight liberation in accordance with Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar and Swami Vivekananda’s philosophical ideology. Liberation may be spiritual, ethical and also be social. The orthodox schools of philosophy describe liberation as spiritual, the unorthodox Buddhist school of philosophy and the Jaina school of philosophy explain liberation from the ethical point of view. Apart from these two philosophical explanations regarding liberation we can find liberation from the social point of view, where liberation is not treated as the highest goal or parama purusartha of human life.
