Page 100 152 National Standard, dated 23rd June 1947 Goans' Call to Portugal The People of the Portuguese and French possessions in this country have begun to entertain grave doubts regarding their future. The former number about 8,00.000 and the latter 3,23,000. While the sujects of the French territories have yet to organise themselves effectively, those of Portuguese India have already formed their own organisations to express their views for the benefit of the rulers and for eliciting the sympathy of Indians outside Portuguese India. This consciousness among some of the Portuguese Indians is due to the repressive policy pursued by the Government and to some extent the open support accorded by them to missionary bodies. The Goan Political Conference held in Bombay during the week-end has brought to prominence the distressing state of affairs prevailing in that part of the country which is no bigger than any single district of the province of Bombay and which could easily be split up into two parts and annexed to the Maharashtra Province that is to be constituted sooner or later. If any portions nearer Belgaum prefers to have alliance with the Kannadigas, there should be no difficulty in annexing it to the province of Karnatak that is to be constituted. For 430 years, with a brief break perhaps, the Portuguese who claim to have "captured" Goa managed to isolate the territory from the rest of India by measures which reflect too credit to them. Even to this day the situation in the Portuguese territory comprising Goa, Daman and Din is no more delightful than those areas in Khandesh, Thana and Panch Mahals districts where aborigines live. If anything, it is worse, thanks to the beneficent work done by the Bhil Seva Mandal and Adivasi Seva Mandal. The 100 aborigines of these' there areas have become conscious of their responsibility to society to, some exteat, but the people of Goa are practically interned in their .homes. As stated by Srimati Kamaladevi, who inaugurated the Political Conference, has been completely and successfully isolated from the general stream of the country's national life-because of the artificial barriers set up by a foreign regime. The President of the Conference Dr. George De Silva is no professional agitator nor is he any youthful politician who could be associated with the Socialist leader Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, against whom the Portuguese Government had so much to say. Goa is being ruled by a Governor- General and a Legislative Council with an absolute official majority. The regime can be compared to the martial law administration set up in Amritsar in 1919. Civil liberty is non-existent. Public opinion is not allowed to be formed and if occasionally there is any suspicion that opinion is entertained by anybody it is ruthlessly suppressed. The press is muzzled. Dr. De Silva remarks that Judiciary is powerless and there is no vestige of the. independence of the Courts, which is a sine qua non of any civilised modern Government. The claim of the President that Goans are a " gifted " people will not be contested. They are persons of versatile talents several of them, frustrated at the stagnant position they had to occupy in their homeland, migrated to Bombay, Ceylon and Africa and have been occupying positions, high and low. The chief sources of income of those living in Goa at present is the remittance sent by those people from 'British' India and abroad. Dr. De Silva pathetically admits : "Our ability and ingenuity are manifested outside rather than Goa". The tale of woe narrated by him is such as to stir up the gifted Goans wherever they may be. Whatever may have been the causes of the lethargy of Goans in the past, they cannot remain oblivious to the necessities of times. It has been openly suggested that the Nizam of Hyderabad is casting his covetous eyes on their territory and that one or two of his deputies have been keeping themselves in intimate touch with "the ' Portuguese Government. However thrifty the Nizam may be in regard to his domestic requirements or the demands of the people of his State, it cannot be said that he is niggardly in his attention to non-Indians when once he believes he can achieve his ultra- territorial ambitions. The poor Nawab of Chattari, Prime Minister, has become the camp follower of Sir Walter Monckton, his Constitutional Advisor, whether a Hyderabad: or New Delhi. The resolutions passed by the Goan Conference, therefore declaring the inalienable right of Goa, Daman and Diu to determine their own form of Government to share the destiny of Free India and calling upon the Portuguese Government to quit India forthwith handing over power to the elected representatives of the people show that they are in keeping with the time-spirit. The Conference has also warned the Portuguese Government and the Colonial authorities against entering into any negotiations with the Nizam's Government in the transference, in any manner of any strip of land to His Exalted Highness. The mighty British who prided themselves to be the most powerful of the nations of the world have decided to quit India although they ridiculed the demand of the National Congress when it was put forward a little less than five years ago from Bombay. From the same historic city now comes the call of representative Goans to Portugal to see that the Governor-General and other officials quit Goa forthwith. Portugal is a much smaller country in 101 Europe than Britain and at no time could she compare herself to Britain in the matter of Army, Navy, Air Force or other resources. And the Portuguese Government ought to profit themselves by the experience of the British Government PORTUGUESE ASKED TO QUIT GOA Demand at Bombay Conference The Goan Political Conference, at the second day session in Bombay on Sunday, passed a resolution calling upon the Portuguese Government of Goa, Daman and Diu to " Quit India forth-with and hand over power to the elected representatives of the people." Dr. George De Silva presiding. The resolution stated that, considering the fact that Goa, Daman and Diu, geographically, ethically and culturally, formed part of India, and considering that during their 437 years of domination, the Portuguese have attempted to crush our manhood and to reduce us to moral and spiritual slavery, the Portuguese Government had to quit. The conference also expressed the resolve of the Portuguese Indian territories for their reintegration into the free India of tomorrow. The conference also conveyed its sense of gratitude to Mr. Gandhi for his continued interest in the affairs of Goa. A section of the members of the conference, who were against the second part of the resolution, wished to move an amendment. Dr. De Silva said that if the amendment had to be moved, it should have been moved on Saturday, and he therefore disallowed the amendment. The resoluion was passed. On Saturday the conference was addressed by Shrimati Kamaladevi, who said, "India's freedom must simultaneously mean freedom for the people of Goa", while inaugurating it at the Sunderabai Hall. Shrimati Kamaladevi, who herself originally came from Goa, said that it was strange that when India was entering upon a new career as a free country it should have, within its frontiers, a tiny little island still under foreign contaji. It was not possible for any province to remain in a country and not be affected by the immediate environment, she said. " So far as the political liberation of Goa is concerned, it is only a matter of a few days or weeks" she added. Shrimati Kamaladevi appealed to Goans to take their share with the rest of India in the great struggle of bringing freedom to the common man and making freedom a living reality. Dr. George De Silva, who presided over the conference, asked the Goans to be on their guard and carefully analyse the fast changing political conditions in taking a decision concerning their future. Their watchword should be a free Goa in a free India. It did not matter to which province Goa joined, or whether it remained autonomous. The shape of its political alliance should be decided by Goans themselves. Criticising the civil disobedience movement launched in Goa by Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, " which has proved a failure," Dr. De Silva said that Dr. Lohia was just copying the technique and policy adopted by Mr. Gandhi in British India. Barring the few who took a " platonic" interest in the upheavals around them the mass of the people remained blissfully ignorant and indifferent. The aims and objects of the conference, he said ought to be to devise a plan for the all-round development of the people of Goa. 102 Earlier, messages were read out wishing success to the conference from Mr. Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Mrs. Vijaya Laxmi Pandit, Mr. Sarat Chandra Bose, Mr. Shankarrao Deo and Sardar Sardul Singh Cavishwar. GOAN CONFERENCE, 25th June 1947 During the sessions of the Goan Political Conference held on the 21st and 22nd of June, 1947, at the Sunderabai Hall, one grave and dangerous phenomena came to the surface. Unfortunately, our Goan Hindu delegates displayed fascist characteristics. During the course of the debates rowdyism was created in the hall and liberty of expression was denied to the speakers whenever they criticised the Indian politicians and their politics. Otoe is unable to understand how these men, who vehemently criticise the Portuguese Government for their attitude with regard to civil liberties of expression, can afford to speak in terms of freedom from the Portuguese and at the same time deny that very liberty of expression to the delegates.

Understandably, the discussion of 1947 in this literature is largely focussed on Partition—its memories and its long-term effects on the nation. 1 Earlier studies on Partition looked at the ‘event’ as a part of the grand narrative of the formation of two nation-states in the subcontinent; but in recent times the historians’ gaze has shifted to what Gyanendra Pandey has described as ‘a history of the lives and experiences of the people who lived through that time’. 2 So far as Bengal is concerned, such experiences have been analysed in two subsets, i.e., the experience of the borderland, and the experience of the refugees. As the surgical knife of Sir Cyril Ratcliffe was hastily and erratically drawn across Bengal, it created an international boundary that was seriously flawed and which brutally disrupted the life and livelihood of hundreds of thousands of Bengalis, many of whom suddenly found themselves living in what they conceived of as ‘enemy’ territory. Even those who ended up on the ‘right’ side of the border, like the Hindus in Murshidabad and Nadia, were apprehensive that they might be sacrificed and exchanged for the Hindus in Khulna who were caught up on the wrong side and vehemently demanded to cross over.

The Indian Left consisted of the Radical Humanists led by M. N. Roy, Indian Communists led by Shripad Amrit Dange and the Democratic Socialists led by Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia. All these leaders took part in the Indian freedom movement and spent a number of years in jail. They strongly appreciated the contribution made by Gandhi but had their own differences of opinions. M. N. Roy was a harsh critic of Gandhi and despite differences, Dr. Lohia was an ardent admirer of Gandhi. This unit discusses at length Gandhi’s relationship with the leaders of Left-wing ideology and how, inspite of differences, they shared the common goal of Indian independence. Aims and Objectives After reading this Unit, you would be able to understand: Gandhi’s relationship with the Leftist leaders The views of M.N.Roy, S.A.

  • Gandhiji and Lohia: an Intimate and Fruitful Relationship
    Gandhiji and Lohia: An intimate and Fruitful Relationship Prem Singh I The relationship between M. K. Gandhi (1869-1948) and Ram Manohar Lohia (1910-1967) was unique in many ways. One can perceive this as equilibrium of opposites. When Lohia came in direct contact with Gandhiji, he was merely twenty- three years old where as Gandhiji, with his vast wealth of experience and ideas, was already sixty-four. First of all, it was a relationship between a believer (Ishwarwadi) and a non-believer {Anishwarwadi}. Lohia did not ever agree with Gandhiji's religious invocation, his prayers, his support of the Varna system and his views on celibacy etc. In his entire crusade, Gandhiji maintained cordial feelings towards his opponents, including the British, whereas Lohia usually adopted an aggressive posture towards his opponents, using intolerant and sharp language. Lohia used this kind of language even in his conversations with Gandhiji. Lohia was not in total agreement with all the Gandhian ideas on socio-political subjects. Thus, there was a contrast between them not just in terms of temperament but also in terms of ideas. Despite all this, an intimate relationship developed between them. Lohia's biographer Indumati Kelkar terms Gandhiji as the Manas Pita and Guru of Lohia. She also mentions that Lohia became an 'orphan' for the second time after Gandhiji's assassination. In fact, in his last few years Gandhiji came very close to the socialists, particularly to Lohia. Among the crowd of Gandhians, Lohia saw himself as a heretic. Scholars have called him an extension of Gandhiji. A little later we shall discuss Lohia's critique of Gandhiji's ideas and methods of intervention.

  • The British Partner in the Transfer of Power Ninth Lecture - by the Earl of Listowel 24 June 1980
    The British Partner in the Transfer of Power Ninth Lecture - by the Earl of Listowel 24 June 1980 The story of the transfer of power has been told before, but always from the angle of the narrators. I shall follow their example by confining my remarks this evening, apart from a brief sketch of the historical background, to that aspect of the British-Indian relationship I know from my personal experience as a minister in the (wartime) Churchill and Attlee governments. This gave me some insight into the part played by the British Government in its dealings with the Government of India and the Indian political leaders during the final stages. But before I proceed any further I am sure you would wish me to remind you that we are meeting on the eve of what would have been Lord Mountbatten's eightieth birthday. His presence would have been specially appropriate because we shall be recalling what, in the light of history, must surely have been the most outstanding of all his achievements. For it was his consummate statesmanship which made possible the severance of our old ties with India by mutual goodwill, instead of after bitter dissension, which would have left a legacy of rancour and a fractured Commonwealth. He accomplished his task with so much skill and understanding that it bound our two countries in the close friendship we enjoy at the present time. This was brought home to me with startling vividness by the welcome accorded to a parliamentary delegation with which I visited India last year, traversing the country from New Delhi to Chandigarh, and from there to Madras and Bombay.

  • Dr. LOHIA: TOWARDS 'NEW SOCIALISM'
    Dr. LOHIA: TOWARDS ‘NEW SOCIALISM’ - DR. RAM CHANDRA GUPTA Once Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia said, “I have nothing with me except that the common and the poor people of India think that I am perhaps their own man.” Indeed, Lohia was a dedicated and kindly individual, a man of people who lived and worked for them. Although he will ever be remembered as a forceful exponent of decentralized socialism, a fiery propagandist of a ‘New Socialism’ and an ardent support of Hindi, his real worth lay in the sympathy and affection which he had for the Indian masses. He was gentle in manner and wore an unostentatious and simple look. In him were combined many great qualities‐ humanism and compassion of Buddha, sacrifice and affection of a prophet and courage and rage of Samkara. If he proved a terror for the men in power, he was a source of inspiration and courage for the poor. In 1928 while Lohia was a college student in Calcutta, he started taking an active part in the freedom movement of the country. He organised and led the college students to boycott the Simon Commission that had come to India to inquire into the working of the Reforms of 1919, and to negotiate with the Indian leaders on the further constitutional reforms. And it was in this year that he came into close contact with Jawaharlal Nehru, who had come there to preside over the Youth Conference. He also came in touch with Subhash Chandra Bose, but it was Nehru who left a deep impression on him.
