CONTRIBUTIONS OF LALA HAR DAYAL AS AN INTELLECTUAL AND REVOLUTIONARY ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF ^ntiat ai pijtl000pi{g IN }^ ^ HISTORY By MATT GAOR CENTRE OF ADVANCED STUDY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2007 ,,» '*^d<*'/. ' ABSTRACT India owes to Lala Har Dayal a great debt of gratitude. What he did intotality to his mother country is yet to be acknowledged properly. The paradox ridden Har Dayal - a moody idealist, intellectual, who felt an almost mystical empathy with the masses in India and America. He kept the National Independence flame burning not only in India but outside too. In 1905 he went to England for Academic pursuits. But after few years he had leave England for his revolutionary activities. He stayed in America and other European countries for 25 years and finally returned to England where he wrote three books. Har Dayal's stature was so great that its very difficult to put him under one mould. He was visionary who all through his life devoted to Boddhi sattava doctrine, rational interpretation of religions and sharing his erudite knowledge for the development of self culture. The proposed thesis seeks to examine the purpose of his returning to intellectual pursuits in England. Simultaneously the thesis also analyses the contemporary relevance of his works which had a common thread of humanism, rationalism and scientific temper. Relevance for his ideas is still alive as it was 50 years ago. He was true a patriotic who dreamed independence for his country. He was pioneer for developing science in laymen and scientific temper among youths.

Along with other liberal notions,constitutionalism also travelled to India through British colonialism. However, on the one hand, the ideology of liberalism guaranteed the liberal rightsbut one the other hand it denied the same basic right to the colony. The justification to why an advanced liberal nation like England must colonize the ‘not yet’ liberal nation like India was also found within the ideology of liberalism itself. The rationale was that British colonialism in India was like a ‘civilization mission’ to train the colony how to tread the path of liberty.1 However, soon the English educated Indian intellectual class realised the gap between the claim that British Rule made and the oppressive and exploitative reality of colonialism.Consequently,there started the movement towards autonomy and self-governance by Indians.

Khudiram Bose the Symbol of Valiance and Death Defying Youth
Khudiram Bose The Symbol of Valiance and Death Defying Youth The silent night was approaching dawn. Footsteps of the guards in the jail corridor broke the silence. Slowly it stopped before the ‘condemned cell’. When the get was opened, a teenage boy with a smiling innocent face greeted them. He advanced in fearless strides to embrace death, with the guards merely following him. He stood upright on the execution platform, with the smile unfaded. His face was covered with green cloth, hands were tied behind, the rope encircled his neck. The boy stood unflinched. With the signal of the jailor Mr. Woodman, hangman pulled the lever. The rope swinging a little became still. It was 6 am. The day was 11th August 1908. The martyrdom of death defying Khudiram demarcated the onset of a new era in the course of Indian freedom movement. The martyrdom of Khudiram rocked the entire nation. The dormant youth of a subject nation, oblivious of its own strength, dignity and valor shook off its hibernation. Khudiram’s martyrom brought a new meaning of life, new concept of dignity to the youth of his day. In his wake, like wave after wave, hundreds and thousands of martyrs upheld the truth that the only way to lead a dignified life is by dedicating it for the noblest cause, freedom. They came one after another, incessantly, shed their bloods, faced terrible torture, but never bowed their heads down. 3rd December 1889. Khudiram was born at Habibpur village, adjacent to Midnapore town. His father was Troilokyanath and his mother was Laksmipriya Devi.

Mahatma Gandhi's True Legacy | the Rediscovery of India
Mahatma Gandhi’s True Legacy | The Rediscovery of India http://www.sandeepweb.com/2012/10/04/mahatma-gandhis-true-legacy/... Type in The Rediscovery of India Home Commentary Indian Philosophy Indian Politics Islam Watch Media Watch Mahatma Gandhi’s True Legacy October 4, 2012 By Sandeep Exactly one refrain emanating from the 1970s generation encapsulates the significance of Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday: a complaint that October 2nd is a Dry Day. That’s what Gandhi has been reduced to after 65 years: a symbol of Prohibition that middle class India must vocally protest against. Of course, not with malice because somewhere deep down, Gandhi still commands respect. I picked the 1970s generation because this generation has benefitted the most from liberalization and the reforms that followed during the NDA regime. Among other things, these benefits have included exposure to various cultures across the globe, which has shaped and changed its worldview. One of the most significant of these changes is the casting away of the irrational taboo—rooted in fear—against alcohol, a taboo to which Gandhi contributed in great measure. Contrary to what Bapu claimed, middle class India has discovered the immensely liberating effects of alcohol. Put another way, today’s middle class India has definitively discarded Mahatma Gandhi. Quite long ago. And most certainly not under influence. However, while it lasted, Gandhi’s influence was enormous and almost all-pervasive. So much so that even a fine mind like Sita Ram Goel’s developed temporary opaqueness when it came to the subject of Mahatma Gandhi. The harshest criticism Goel reserves for Gandhi is a mild rebuke on the subject of the latter’s inordinate Muslim appeasement.
