  • Bihar Muslims' Response to Two Nation Theory 1940-47
    BIHAR MUSLIMS' RESPONSE TO TWO NATION THEORY 1940-47 ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Bortor of IN HISTORY BY MOHAMMAD SAJJAD UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF PROF. RAJ KUNAR TRIVEDI CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTOFflC AUGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2003 ABSTRACT Bihar Muslims' Response to Two Nation Theory 1940-47: The Lahore session (1940) of the Muslim League adopted a resolution in which Muslim majority areas were sought to be grouped as "autonomous and sovereign" , 'independent states". This vaguely worded resolution came to be known as Pakistan resolution. The Muslim League, from its days of foundation (in 1906) to the provincial elections of 1937, underwent many changes. However, after the elections of 1937 its desperation had increased manifold. During the period of the Congress ministry (1937-39), the League succeeded in winning over a sizeable section of the Muslims, more particularly the landed elites and educated middle class Muslims of Muslim minority provinces like U.P. and Bihar. From 1937 onwards, the divide between the two communities went on widening. Through a massive propaganda and tactful mobilizations, the League expanded its base, adopted a divisive resolution at Lahore (1940) and then on kept pushing its agenda which culminated into the partition of India. Nevertheless, the role of imperialism, the role of Hindu majoritarian organizations like the Hindu Mahasabha and tactical failure on the part of the Congress combined with communalization of the lower units of the Congress (notwithstanding the unifying ideals of the Congress working Committee) can not be denied in the partition of the country.

B. Kripalani (United Provinces: General): (in requesting Dr. Sachchidananda Sinha to take the Chair as temporary Chairman, said)- *[Friends, at this auspicious occasion of historical importance I invite, on your behalf, Dr. Sachchidananda Sinha to be the temporary Chairman of this Assembly. Dr. Sinha needs no introduction. You all know him. He is not only the oldest among us but also the oldest parliamentarian in India, having served, as you know, as a member of the Imperial Legislative Council from 1910 to 1920. He entered the Central Legislative Assembly in 1921 not only as one of its members, but its Deputy President also. He was then entrusted with the portfolio of an Executive Councellor and Finance Member of the Government of Bihar and Orissa. So far as I remember Dr. Sinha was the first Indian who was ever appointed as a Finance Member of a Province. He has a particular taste for education having been Vice-Chancellor of the Patna University for eight years. Over and above all this, Dr. Sinha is the oldest Congressman among us. Up till 1920 he was a member of the Congress, being at one time its Secretary. After the year 1920 when we started on a new way to gain freedom he parted company with us.

  • Volume Xli, No. 4 December, 1995 Editorial Note
    VOLUME XLI, NO. 4 DECEMBER, 1995 EDITORIAL NOTE The Office of the Speaker occupies a pivotal position in a parliamentary democracy. We in India have had a galaxy of eminent personalities who adorned the Office of the Speaker of Lok Sabha. Each and every one of our Speakers, by virtue of his towering personality, dignity and abiding faith in the fundamental principles of democracy, has laid down healthy conventions and precedents which have enhanced the status of the Office. Naturally, this has had a significant impact on the varied activities of the Lok Sabha. Every Lok Sabha, since the first General Elections, has contributed to the further strengthening of parliamentary democracy in our country. This has been possible because the Lok Sabha is a dynamic institution, not a static one. Each Lok Sabha has taken praiseworthy initiatives and effected timely innovations to keep pace with the changing times and native reqUirements. Thus, the evolution of parliamentary system in India has been as much a part of the evolution of the successive Lok Sabhas. The Tenth Lok Sabha has, in fact, broken new grounds insofar as initiatives, innovations and developments are concerned. In his article titled "The Tenth Lok Sabha: Initiatives, Innovations and Developments", the Editor highlights the significant achievements of the Tenth Lok Sabha under the inspiring leadership of the incumbent Speaker, Shri Shivraj V. Patil. The effective utilization of the time of the House is an imperative need for a successful parliamentary system. Equally important is the meaningful participation of all sections of Parliament in its proceedings. In India, successive Lok Sabhas and Presiding Officers have endeavoured to provide all modern facilities to the members with a view to ensuring proper time-management and promoting still greater participation and involvement of members in the business of the House.

  • Constituent Assembly of India Debates (Proceedings) - Volume Ix
    CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY OF INDIA DEBATES (PROCEEDINGS) - VOLUME IX Tuesday, the 13th September 1949 -------------- The Constituent Assembly of India met in the Constitution Hall, New Delhi, at Nine of the Clock, Mr. President (The Honourable Dr. Rajendra Prasad) in the Chair. -------------- DRAFT CONSTITUTION-(Contd.) NEW PARA XIV-A (LANGUAGE)-(Contd.) Mr. President : There are two or three amendments more which I consider to be of fundamental character. There is one about Sanskrit language but I do not find Pandit Maitra here. The second is by Mr. Shankarrao Deo which says that all the reservations in favour of English should automatically cease at the end of fifteen years. That also I consider to be of fundamental character and there is another amendment of which notice was given by Dr. Subbarayan to have Roman character. So I propose to call these first and after that I go to general discussion. Shri R. V. Dhulekar (United Provinces: General) : I have proposed amendment No. 240. Mr. President: Come along, then. Prof. Shibban Lal Saksena (United Provinces : General) : I have also an amendment. Mr. President: All have, but I said "amendment of a fundamental character." Shri R. V. Dhulekar: Mr. President, Sir, nobody can be more happy than myself that Hindi has become the official language of the country. I may remind the House that on the very first day when I spoke I spoke in Hindi and there was an opposition that I should not speak in the language which I called the National language of the country. I tried to move an amendment that the Procedure Committee should make all rules in the Hindi language with a translation in the English language.

  • The Power to Punish for Contempt of the House
    THE POWER TO PUNISH FOR CONTEMPT OF THE HOUSE: EXAMINING THE CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES AND CONFLICTS Ayushi Agarwal IVth Year Student, National Law School of India University, Bangalore ABSTRACT The Constitution of India confers upon the Parliament and State Legislatures broad privileges and immunities and vests with it the power to punish for breach of the same, which is more prominently known as the ‘power to punish for contempt of the House’. In this article, the author analyses the conflict between the exercise of this power and the freedom of the press under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of India as well as the requirement of a just, fair and reasonable procedure under Article 21. It also explores the tussle between the legislature and the judiciary created due to this power. The author argues that the power to punish for contempt must be subject to Article 19(1)(a) and justifies why the decision in MSM Sharma needs to be overturned. Further, the author argues that this power must be exercised in accordance with procedural tests under Article 21 and reasons why failing to do would be a violation of principles of criminal law as well as natural justice. The author applauds the Supreme Court for taking a step towards limiting the arbitrary exercise of the power to punish for contempt of the House by the Speaker when the judiciary’s powers were being infringed upon. At the same time, she also notes that the Courts have so far failed to extend their own reasoning to its logical conclusion and explore whether the power to punish for contempt is itself suspect, given the difference in the historical backgrounds of the Indian Parliament and the House of Commons.

    COMMUNAL STRIFE IN BIHAR 1946-1992 ABSTRACT SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy In History BY GHAUSIA PARVEEN UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. MOHAMMAD SAJJAD (ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR) CENTER OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH, INDIA (202002) 2015 Abstract Communal Strife in Bihar 1946-1992 The occurrences of communal riots went side by side with the Indian National Movement and frequently occurred even after independence. Communalism and communal riots in India is essentially a modern phenomenon which was fomented by the British through their “divide and rule” policy. Communal riots in large measure sprang from elite conflicts over jobs, business, political powers etc. In Bihar communal riots frequently occurred even long before the independence i.e. communal disturbances reached their climax in Bihar between the 1888 and the 1893, the districts worst affected being Arrah, Saran, Gaya and Patna. By 1880s and 1890s there were two major issues, over which communal riots were erupted, were the cow-protection movements and Devnagari-Urdu (Hindi-Urdu) controversy. On the one hand Hindu activists not only speak of the protection of cow even the Gau Rakshini Sabha courts punished sale of cow to butchers by imposing fine or social boycott. On the other hand the Muslim revivalists insisting on the necessity of cow-slaughter on Bakr-Eid which resulted in large scale riots between June to July, 1893 in Saran, Gaya and Patna. The 1920s made for a new conjuncture in the world of Indian politics. The masses entered the organized national movement on an unprecedented scale.

  • The Last Years of the Rana Regime of Nepal in 1940-51 Reading Sagar S
    アジア太平洋論叢 23 号 (2021) 書評論文 Bulletin of Asia-Pacific Studies vol. XXIII pp.87-109. (Review Article) The Last Years of the Rana Regime of Nepal in 1940-51 Reading Sagar S. J. B. Rana, Singha Durbar: Rise and Fall of the Rana Regime of Nepal, New Delhi: Rupa, 2017 Sho KUWAJIMA* This is a story of the Rise and Fall of the Rana Regime of Nepal written by the author, Sagar S. J. B. Rana, who observed the last days of the regime with his own inquisitive eyes as a boy inside one of the Rana palaces, and who has utilized abundant related materials inclusive of the unpublished memoir of his father Mrigendra Shumsher. Besides the detailed introduction of the Nepali Congress leaders, the thrilling scenes in the process of the move of some Rana intellectuals into the side of the anti-oligarchy appear before our eyes. The author described with his penetrating analysis how the words were uttered in historic scenes, how these words were reacted by both known and unknown people, and as to what situation the fissures in communication led to a breaking point. At the critical moments of history after the middle of the 1930s we find the presence of the common people of Nepal who supported the anti-Rana struggle, and who have often played a remarkable role in it and led their leaders to action. Sagar, at the age of nine, heard with his feelings of unrest the overwhelming ‘sound’ of the people’s revolt which reached the palace in 1947. His narration of the topography of Nepal tells us the diversity of the people and their way of life in ‘a small country’ while his reference to the complex marriage relations of Rana rulers facilitates us to understand one of the main causes of the end of the Rana regime.
