of Defence] at 21:06 09 May 2016 FOREWORD Karnataka has been one of the premier states in the country in institutionalizing Panchayati Raj. Following the Karnataka Zilla Parishads, Taluk Panchayat Samitis, Mandal Panchayats and Nyaya Panchayats Act 1983, district government became a reality in the state. Consequently, the President of the Zilla Panchayat enjoyed a high status and wielded considerable power. The passage of the 73rd and 74th Amendments to the Constitution, whereby 29 subjects were devolved to the districts, gave an additional fillip to the institution of Panchayati Raj. However, the gains in the field of local government — panchayats and municipalities — were short-lived. Slowly but surely, the Panchayati Raj institutions have suffered a visible erosion. Bureaucrats and elected members of the state legislature have been increasingly bypassing the panchayats and becoming power centres in the districts. One way by which the local governments are being bypassed is through the institution of parallel bodies. These

  • 1. Letter to Indira Nehru 2. Notes
    1. LETTER TO INDIRA NEHRU [After October 15, 1939]1 CHI. INDU, You must have now lost the habit of writing Hindi. But I must write, mustn’t I, in the rashtrabhasha ? Have you gone there for studies or for falling ill? How did you contract pleurisy? I have suffered the pangs of pleurisy. May God restore you soon to health. Blessings from BAPU From a photostat of the Hindi: C. W. 9805. Courtesy: Nehru Memorial Museum and Library 2. NOTES A POSER A Britisher has written to Deenabandhu Andrews a letter on the war expounding his own views. He is an ardent pacifist. Deenabandhu has shared the letter with me. In it occur the following paragraphs: For India too I think that this is a very critical time. The danger I see is that Britain may promise full Dominion Status or something of the kind, and as a result India will raise an army and become one more military-minded nation. Her witness for the way of non-violence and soul-force would then be largely discounted. How can Gandhiji as a believer in non-violence ask for clarification of war aims with a view to getting India’s support for Britain in this way of war? The only thing that he can do and that we should all be doing is to build up an army of men and women who are committed to the way of love and forgiveness and to receive but never to return violence. We have to work this out to see how it will alter our daily life as well as all our thinking and acting towards other communities and nations.

BOOKS DC PREFACE History involves an attempt to make sense of the past. It comprises the effort to make sense of the process of advancement of human societies and the dynamics of the interaction of various forces that contribute to the human progress any narration of the past, or for that matter, of the present cannot escape the element of subjectivity the interaction of values and facts is unavoidable in any construction of history the most suitable approach to history is a matter of intense unsettled debate in historiography but the inability of any social theorist to remain value free is almost taken for granted in contemporary historiography.

  • PROPAGATION of GANDHIAN PROGRAMMES by the PRESS DURING the TIME of INDIAN FREEDOM MOVEMENT Dr. G. Somasekhara Associate Professo
    INTERNATIONALJOURNALOF MULTIDISCIPLINARYEDUCATIONALRESEARCH ISSN:2277-7881; IMPACT FACTOR :6.514(2020); IC VALUE:5.16; ISI VALUE:2.286 Peer Reviewed and Refereed Journal: VOLUME:10, ISSUE:2(1), February:2021 Online Copy Available: www.ijmer.in PROPAGATION OF GANDHIAN PROGRAMMES BY THE PRESS DURING THE TIME OF INDIAN FREEDOM MOVEMENT Dr. G. Somasekhara Associate Professor, Department of History Acharya Nagarjuna University,Ongole Campus Introduction The year 1919 is an important land mark in the history of Indian freedom movement. It saw the entry of Mahatma Gandhi into the arena of Indian politics. He dominated the political scene till the country became free in 1947.Gandhi who was by then the champion of Champaran Satyagraha and Kheda Ryots movement, appealed to the Viceroy to withdraw the bill. On the refusal of the Viceroy, Gandhiji led to the Satyagraha movement and 6th April 1919 was observed as a day of protest and laws were disobeyed by non-violent methods. Response of the Andhras to the call for Satyagraha was spontaneous. Hitakarini observed, “The agitation created by the Rowlatt bills in the minds of the people has already given place to the faith that the pledge of Mahatma Gndhi would lead to the withdrawal of those bills. This great vow of peace, this flame of the fire of truth has already spread from province to province. It has moved the king in the palace and the saint in the forest and prompted them to sign the pledge. Truth and righteousness know of no defeat in nature. The passive resistance pledge of Mahatma Gandhi surpasses the roar of a lion from its den.

  • The Christ Who Embraces: an Orthodox Theology of Margins in India
    The Christ who Embraces: An Orthodox Theology of Margins in India ` By Jacob Joseph B.A., B.D., M.A., MTh. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Divinity 2019 1 Abstract This thesis develops a Christological response to Orthodox Christian mission in the context of caste dynamics among St. Thomas/Syrian Orthodox Christians in India. The world’s Orthodox community recognises as axiomatic Ion Bria’s description of mission as the ‘liturgy after the liturgy.’ The liturgy inhabits an all-encompassing space, one without any room for exclusion, as is proper for the God of all creation. To justify this argument, Ion Bria develops his dictum in terms of the cosmic missional fulfilment of ‘the liturgy:’ the imperative to witness in the public and political realms, identifying with the struggles of politically marginalized communities in order to embody the gospel in hostile contexts. This thesis considers the implications of this Orthodox model of mission in the Indian social context; in particular, how an emphasis on transcendence and liturgy might take political form in relation to Dalit social and theological concerns. It explores theological resources within miaphysite Christology, especially as developed by early teachers of the church in their treatment of a transcendental and immanent Christology. This theological perspective is then engaged in a contextual debate on the theology of margins in India, namely Dalit Christology, and the importance it places on meaningful engagement in the formation of an Orthodox theology of margins in India. Finally, I propose an all-encompassing praxis of the liturgical embrace (kiss of peace), a Christological metaphor for the Syrian Orthodox liturgy, which extends from the liturgical to the social milieu.
