  • MS. RAMADEVI CHOUDHURY Recipient of Jamnalal Bajaj Award for Development & Welfare of Women and Children-1981 Born: 1899
    MS. RAMADEVI CHOUDHURY Recipient of Jamnalal Bajaj Award for Development & Welfare of Women and Children-1981 Born: 1899 Ramadevi's life is a moving saga of service in the cause of women and children. Daughter of Gopal Vallabh Das and Basant Kumari Devi of Cuttack, she was born on December 3, 1899 and was married at the age of 15 to Gopabandhu Choudhury. Like her father, her husband was also a Deputy Magistrate, an office which he resigned in 1921 to join the freedom movement. Ramadevi decided to join him. Ardent believers in the Gandhian philosophy of rural development, they moved in 1928 to an Ashram in a village 28 miles from Cuttack where Ramadevi devoted herself to the promotion of Khadi and the welfare of women and children. Politics had claimed the attention of Ramadevi earlier when she joined the Indian National Congress in 1922. She suffered three prison terms between 1930 and 1932 for participating in the Salt Satyagraha movement and picketing foreign cloth and liquor shops in Cuttack. In 1930 she was elected President of the Utkal Provincial Congress Committee. She was also a member of the AICC. One of her achievements during this period was to persuade women belonging to the higher castes to abandon purdah and to give up the practice of untouchability. Ramadevi's life-long service in rural upliftment has been many-sided. As Secretary of the Provincial Harijan Sevak Sangh in 1932 she set out with her team of women workers to train the inhabitants of the Harijan colonies, particularly the women, to handle their own sanitation problems and learn nursing.

  • Of 6 Socialists & the Legacy of Indian Freedom
    Socialists & the Legacy of Indian Freedom: Thoughts on Jawaharlalji’s Birthday By Anil Nauriya The historical juncture at which India finds itself requires redefinition and restructuring of the Socialist movement. The present‐day Congress cannot entirely be separated from the legacy of the pre‐freedom Indian National Congress, yet the former formation has distinct characteristics and must be organisationally distinguished from its historical predecessor. Moreover, with the current decline of the Congress, Socialists need to remind themselves that they are legatees of the space occupied by Indian nationalism since 1885. This includes the political legacy of, for example, early Indian nationalists like Badruddin Tyabji, Dadabhai Naoroji and Gopal Krishna Gokhale and the social legacy of Mahadev Govind Ranade that had inspired both Gokhale and Gandhi. The split in the Indian National Congress in 1969 and the dissolution eight years later of the Congress (O), with its merger into the newly‐formed Janata Party in 1977, had the undesirable consequence that the entire Congress space was ceded to Mrs Indira Gandhi’s party, then known as Congress (I). It is this latter party which has in recent years been receding politically. In the circumstances, it should not have been difficult to foresee that unless Socialists re‐asserted themselves as legatees of the Indian freedom struggle as represented by the pre‐freedom Indian National Congress, into which they were born and from which they have sprung, the vacuum left by the decline of the Congress would inevitably be filled by other forces. It would not be meaningful, of course, to claim this larger national legacy, while neglecting the Indian socialist space itself.
