  • Jhajjar Through Ages
    1 1 Jhajjar Through Ages *Dr. Jagdish Rahar Abstract Jhajjar is 35 KMs. to the south of Rohtak and 55 KMs. west of Delhi. The name of district is said to be derived from its supported founder, One Chhaju and Chhaju Nagar converted into Jhajjar. Another derivation connects the name with a natural fountain called Jhar Nagar. A third derivation is from Jhajjar, a water vessel, because the surface drainage of the country for miles runs into the town as into a sense. Introduction : Unfortunately, the archeologists have paid little attention to the region of the present study, therefore, the detailed information ancient people of Jhajjar (Haryana) region is not known. However, now an attempt has been made to throw welcome light on the ancient cultures of Jhajjar on the basis of information collected from explorations and as well as from the excavations conducted in the different parts of Haryana. Seed of Colonization: Pre-Harappan : The archeological discoveries proved beyond doubt that the region under present study was inhabited for the first time in the middle of the third millennium B.C. by a food producing farming and pastoral community known as ‘Pre-Harappan’. During the course of village to village survey of this region, six sites were discovered by the researcher which speaks of Pre- Harappan culture namely Mahrana, Kemalgarh, SilaniKesho, Raipur, Silana II, Surha.1 All these sites have cultural identity with Kalibangan-I1, Siswal2, Banwali3, Mitathal-I4 and Balu-A5, where Pre-Harappan peoples in the middle of the third millennium B.C. mode their settlements.. Terracotta bangles were also used as the ornaments.

After studying this unit you will be able to: explain the origin and nature of revolutionary organisations in India describe the objectives and ideology of these revolutionary organisations analyse how the revolutionary organisations underwent ideological transformation discuss the causes of decline of revolutionary terrorism. 24.1 INTRODUCTION In Unit 15 (Block 3) you have studied, how revolutionary trends emerged in the early years of 20th century. This unit attempts to explain the two broad strands of revolutionary terrorism which developed in India after 1922. The revolutionaries were mainly active in two regions -Punjab, U.P., Bihar, Madhya Pradesh (old central provinces) and Bengal. Dissatisfaction with Gandhi's leadership and his strategy of non-violent struggle after the suspension of Non-Cooperation Movement gave impetus to the revolutionary terrorist movement. In both the regions mentioned above the revolutionary movement underwent changes i.e. it moved away from individual heroic action to a mass based movement and from religions nationalism of earlier revolutionaries to secular patriotism.

  • The Imperial Approach
    CHAPTER – II THE IMPERIAL APPROACH With the arrival of Europeans in India, historical writings began to change drastically in respect of approach, technique and treatment. Indian and foreign scholars got such a rich harvest of historical material on different aspects of Indian history which was prepared in the forms of minutes, dispatches, consultations, proceedings, secret correspondence, individual collections, diaries, autobiographies etc. In the beginning of the rule of Company, all transactions were done verbally which immensely corrupted the English officials.1 When such news reached London, the Home Government prescribed rigid rules which required every detail from the village level to the central administration to be furnished in writings to the Court of Directors. It was also made compulsory for the company's officials to seek permission of the Directors on all important aspects in writing. This practice was basically instrumental in` the collection of material on vast scale in a variety of ways.2 Now the question arises when the westerns began to take interest in writing about Indian affairs? Alexander Dow was the first English official who wrote, The History of Hindustan first published in 1768. He entered the company's military service in 1760 and rose to the Colonel in 1769. He wrote on other issues also. His work was of general aspects. He did denounce some cruel practices going on in Indian society since immemorial3. Real historical writings achieved great philip when Robert Orme, Claudius Buchanan and J.A. Dubois started their accounts narrow in outlook and subjective in approach. James Mill wrote History of British India in six volumes between 1806-1818.

  • The Rancierian Revolutionary? Bhagat Singh and the Politics of the Dead in Modern India
    the rancierian revolutionary? bhagat singh and the politics of the dead in modern india Chris Moffat, India’s Revolutionary Inheritance: Politics and the Promise of Bhagat Singh (Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2019, 292 p.) How did we get to Modi? Some have suggested the explanation lies, in part, in the maneuvers of the Congress Party after independence. Neh- ruvian developmentalism failed to uplift the poor, while Congress’ post- 1991 liberalization only exacerbated their plight: a combination that produced a crisis of hegemony for the ruling party.1 Others trace Modi’s rise past post-independence Congress to the doyen of Indian nationalism itself: Mohandas Gandhi. Perry Anderson, for instance, once faulted Gandhi for infusing politics with (Hindu) religion, a practice that was to alienate Indian Muslims and fan Pakistani nationalism.2 Though conceived before Modi’s electoral victory, Anderson’s argument antici- pates his rise. The general critical reappraisal of Gandhi3 has been accompanied by a search for an alternative anti-colonial hero. Subhas Chandra Bose was a potential candidate, but his association with the Nazi Party troubles his legacy. In this effort to dethrone the Mahatma, it is B. R. Ambedkar who has stood above the rest. For his supporters, Ambedkar’s strident anti- casteism is the perfect antidote to Modi’s Brahmanism, his sympathy for Muslims a counter to Hindu majoritarianism, and his early criticisms of S.A. Dange, a founder of the Communist Party of India, prescient in foreshadowing Indian communism’s enduring caste-blindness.4 But something appears missing in Ambedkar. Arundhati Roy once wrote of two Ambedkars.

  • Re-Contextualizing Bhagat Singh's Freedom Struggle For
    Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan Volume No. 55, Issue No. 1(January - June, 2018) Anam Iftikhar * Muhammad Iqbal Chawla ** Re-contextualizing Bhagat Singh’s Freedom Struggle for Independence of India Abstract This study intends to explore, investigate and analyze the thoughts and actions of Bhaghat Singh for the independence of India. It is generally narrated by some writers that colonial Punjab was an easy going province of British India. Most probably these writers have focused on the history of elite classes of India and especially of the Punjab but they have not taken into account the resistance shown by individuals and parties against the colonial administration. This paper aims to fill an important gap in the historical writings of the colonial Punjab by utilizing relevant primary and secondary sources. This paper focuses on the ideas and struggle of Bhaghat Singh for the liberation of India and this paper will demonstrate that if one looks through the prism of historical records one can have a clearer picture about the freedom fighters of India who offered considerable active and passive resistance against the British administration. The role of Bhagat Singh from the platform of Hindustan Socialist Republican Association, (hereafter HSRA) is the most significant one in the history of Indian nationalism. He was greatly influenced by Punjabi freedom fighters and Marxist ideas and gave a new and active life to the freedom movement. Bhagat Singh preached his philosophy of nationalism through his belief that Independence for India could only be achieved by a thorough cleansing of the exploitative nature of imperialism and such change could only be brought forward by means of an armed revolution in which he was successful as many Punjabis especially the youth tried to follow his foot prints.

  • Hanged for Petriotism
    Nehru Bal Pustakalaya R K Tandon Illustrations Arup Kumar Gupta 1 ISBN 978-81-237-5550-2 First Edition 2009 Reprints 2012, 2014, 2019 (Saka 1941) © R.K. Tandon ` 170.00 Published by the Director, National Book Trust, India Nehru Bhawan, 5 Institutional Area, Phase-II Vasant Kunj, New Delhi-110070 www.nbtindia.gov.in Preface On 10 May 1857 there was a spark of revolution in India against the British rule. It was crushed because it was not organised. Thirty years later, organisations were formed to fight against the British imperialism in India. India got independence in 1947, exactly ninety years later and after lot of sacrifices by Indians. While Mahatma Gandhi fought the British Empire with his noble method of Ahimsa or non-violence, there were revolutionaries who gave their lives for the cause of independence, fighting the British Empire. We should not forget the sacrifice of these revolutionaries who accepted death whole-heartedly without any grudge against anybody and set an example for others. This book is about the famous young revolutionaries who went to the gallows laughing and singing. Nothing could deter them from their committed task; neither money nor the tearful affection of their family members. They proved their mettle and left no stone unturned in bringing freedom to India. I hope that the present generation will learn from the sacrifices of these handful youngsters. My father, famous writer and freedom fighter, Late P. D. Tandon helped and guided me in writing this book. He was a journalist-cum-author of repute. His name appears on forty-nine books written in five Indian languages.

The most vital factor was the growth of religious revival of the late nineteenth century. Besides this, there were several foreign influences, like the impact of the American War of Independence, the Irish struggle for freedom, the unification of Italy, the lives of Mazzini and Garibaldi, the Japanese victory over Russia and last but not the least, the revolution against the Tsarist regime in Russia. All these factors together introduced in the nationalist struggle a strong revolutionary element. 13.2 BACKGROUND The Indian National Congress was founded in 1885 by the liberal politicians and succeeded in bringing together educated, upper class Indians on a common political platform. The Congress party, although representing the most progressive sections of Indian society, failed to keep pace with the wave of nationalism which was sweeping over India during the closing years of the nineteenth century.

    The Marxist Volume XXII, No. 2-3 April-September 2006 Ashok Dhawale Shaheed Bhagat Singh: An Immortal Revolutionary Human history from the times of Charvaka and Spartacus is illuminated with a galaxy of shining martyrs who have died for noble and progressive causes dearer to them than their own lives. In the modern age, the greatest martyrs have been those who laid down their lives fighting the barbaric scourge of imperialism. On a world scale, the life and work of Che Guevara, who along with Fidel Castro led the Cuban Revolution, and his death at the hands of American imperialism in the jungles of Bolivia on October 9, 1967 while he was spreading the call of revolution in Latin America, has become a powerful beacon in the anti-imperialist struggle. On a sub-continental scale, the life and work of Bhagat Singh and his death by hanging at Lahore at the hands of British imperialism on March 23, 1931, has been a great saga of inspiration to all those who cherish sovereignty, secularism and socialism – ideals for which Bhagat Singh and his comrades fought valiantly to the end. On March 23, 2006, the country observed the 75th anniversary of martyrdom of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, and a little earlier on February 27, the 75th anniversary of martyrdom of their equally illustrious comrade-in-arms, Chandrashekhar Azad. From September 28, 2006, we begin the celebration of the Birth Centenary Year of Bhagat Singh, a powerful symbol of the still ongoing struggle of the people of India against imperialism, capitalism, feudalism, communalism and casteism – a struggle that is infinitely more complex but no less urgent today than it was in Bhagat Singh’s time.
