    The Information Research Department, British Covert Propaganda, and the Sino- Indian War of 1962: Combatting Communism and Courting Failure? Paul M. McGarr Department of American and Canadian Studies University of Nottingham University Park Nottingham NG7 2RD Tel. 0115 8232265 [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT Britain’s post-war interventions in former colonial territories remain a controversial area of contemporary history. In the case of India, recent releases of official records in the United Kingdom and South Asia have revealed details of British government anti-communist propaganda activity in the subcontinent during the Cold War period. This article focuses attention on covert or unattributable propaganda conducted in India by the Foreign Office’s Information Research Department (IRD). It specifically examines the 1960s: a time between the outbreak of the Sino-Indian border war in 1962, and the Indian general election of 1967, when IRD operations peaked. The Indian government welcomed British support in an information war waged against Communist China, but cooperation between London and New Delhi quickly waned. Britain’s propaganda initiative in India lacked strategic coherence, and cut across the grain of local resistance to anti-Soviet material. The British Government found itself running two separate propaganda campaigns in the subcontinent: one focused on Communist China, and declared to the Indian government; and a second, secret programme, targeting the Soviets. In this context, Whitehall found it difficult to implement an integrated and effective anti-communist propaganda offensive in India. Key words: Information Research Department; India; China; Sino-Indian War; propaganda. Whitehall’s post-war interventions in Britain’s former colonial territories remain a controversial area of contemporary history.

This Volume was earlier released in the year 1969. Over the years, several new services were framed and consequently new rules introduced.

After a massive effort involving all Departments, the Personnel and Administrative Reforms (S) Department has now updated the Manual with the Assistance of Committee Members, Officers of this Department, all other Departments of Secretariat and the respective Heads of Department. Taking into consideration the massive contribution and involvement of the team in Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department that made this possible, it is fitting to place their names on record in appreciation of the good work done. The above Volume is also available in the Tamil Nadu Government Website in electronic form and will be updated online as and when changes or alterations happen. Fort. St. George, P.W.C.

Title: Nawabi Karnatak: Muhammad Ali Khan in the Making of a Mughal Successor State in Pre-colonial South India, 1749-1795 Issue Date: 2019-04-09 Appendix This appendix provides selective lists of some primary sources related to late-eighteenth- century Karnatak that—due to limitations of time—have not been used in this thesis but which are useful for further research. Persian Sources Published sources: 1. The Ruqaat-i Walajahi (Epistles of the Walajah), edited by T. Chandrasekaran (Madras, 1958). This is a large collection of approximately a thousand letters produced during the period 1774-1775, which were published in 1958. Many of these documents were written by the Nawab’s revenue collectors and officers, while others were replies and orders issued by the Nawab related to day-to-day administrative matters such as land grants, taxes, agricultural activity, public welfare, art and crafts, and military organization. 2. The Nishan-i Hydari (Hydari Signs), by Mir Husain Ali Khan Kirman, written in 1802. This is actually a history of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, the rulers of Mysore. However, it also recounts relations between the Mysore ruler(s) and Nawab Muhammad Ali. It was translated into English by Colonel William Miles and published for the first time in 1864. Unpublished manuscripts: 1. The Tahrik al-Shifah bi-Ausaf Walajah (Mobilising Cure in the Description/ Characteristics of Walajah [?]) , by Amir al-Umara (the Nawab’s second son), written ca.

  • The Hindu'saugust 15, 1947 Issue
    COLLECTOR'S EDITION The Hindu’s August 15, 1947 issue From its birth as a weekly in September 1878, The Hindu became a powerful instrument of the Indian national movement that sought to overthrow British rule. It was hence tting that when freedom dawned, The Hindu welcomed it with characteristic aplomb, deep thought, and skillful penmanship. The Hindu's edition on August 15, 1947, along with a 32-page supplement, was a tribute to the freedom struggle, with articles by some of the greatest names of that age including V.K. Krishna Menon, India’s rst woman legislator Muthulakshmi Reddi, and the great educationist K.M. Munshi. It also carried striking images of the arrival of Independence, and riveting news from that tempestuous time. The Hindu's leading article on the historic day was characteristically pithy and powerful. Titled "Red letter day'', it said: "By the grace of Providence India enters the comity of free nations today, an equal among equals. It is an occasion for rejoicing not only for her people but for all who value human freedom as an end in itself. So long as this country with her hoary civilisation and many-sided culture, her wealth of resources and matchless opulence of spirit remained in political bondage, that very fact constituted an implicit denial of those values to which the dominant nations of the West were wont to pay lip service." Now, we are proud to share with our loyal subscribers, those very pages, articles, and images from which our readers got to know about the advent of freedom on August 15, 1947.

BAYLY Vere Harmsworth Professor of Imperial and Naval History, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of St Catharine's College and JOHN F. RICHARDS Professor of History, Duke University Although the original Cambridge History of India, published between 1922. and 1937, did much to formulate a chronology for Indian history and de- scribe the administrative structures of government in India, it has inevitably been overtaken by the mass of new research published over the last fifty years. Designed to take full account of recent scholarship and changing concep- tions of South Asia's historical development, The New Cambridge History of India will be published as a series of short, self-contained volumes, each dealing with a separate theme and written by a single person. Within an overall four-part structure, thirty-one complementary volumes in uniform format will be published. As before, each will conclude with a substantial bib- liographical essay designed to lead non-specialists further into the literature. The four parts planned are as follows: I The Mughals and their contemporaries II Indian states and the transition to colonialism III The Indian Empire and the beginnings of modern society IV The evolution of contemporary South Asia A list of individual titles in preparation will be found at the end of the volume.
