ANALYSIS How the role of women is changing? Over the last two decades, the gender landscape in urban and especially in rural India has slowly changed, bringing women to the cusp of a powerful social and political revolution.

Any society which does not reflect and critique the fixed notions, is bound to stagnate. Critical analysis and deconstruction; reflecting with different perspectives always leads to marvelous explorations in the way we understand our society. The articles in this book are an attempt to understand the lives of people in contemporary India, through the perspective of Satyagraha. There is an attempt to reflect on the concept of Satyagrahis, only to discover that the concept of Satya or truth is extremely deep, beyond our surficial understanding. At the heart of our University's vision is "Excellence.”. Excellence can be obtained only when the mind is given a chance to think freely; not when it is enslaved by a rigid framework. When there is freedom to think, creativity and imagination come into place and eventually creates marvels.

  • Political Career of C. Rajagopalachari
    © 2018 JETIR September 2018, Volume 5, Issue 9 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) POLITICAL CAREER OF C. RAJAGOPALACHARI Dr. P. Justin Paul, Assistant Professor of History, Government Arts College (Autonomous), Kumbakonam. ABSTRACT C.Rajagopalachari popularly known as Rajaji, the first and only Indian to be the Governor - General of India was an ardent patriot a pioneering social reformer, incisive thinker, profound scholar, and author. Rajaji’s merits and traits elevated him to hold and highest posts such as Governor-General in free India, Governor of Bengal, Premier of Madras Presidency and Chief Minister of Madras state. He participated in the Freedom struggle and faithfully carried out all the programmes of Gandhiji and the Congress. The fire of Swadesi movement, started in Bengal, soon spread to TamilNadu under the leadership of Rajaji. The Rowlatt Satyagraha as a political campaign was a failure as it did not attain its objective of the repeal of the Rowlatt Act. Processions from many areas of the city converged in the Marina beach. In the evening a mammoth public meeting was addressed by C.Rajagopalachari, Kasthuri Ranga Iyengar, S.Sathyamurthy and George Joseph. The Non-co-operation movement gained momentum in Tamil Nadu under the dynamic leadership of C.Rajagopalachari. C. Rajagopalachari earned the esteem of the Muslims by his active involvement in the agitation. In the provincial congress conference moved a resolution demanding the release of Ali brothers who had courted arrest for spear- heading the Khilafat movement. The birth of the Justice Party constitutes a landmark in the history of South India. The Vedaranyam March or Vedaranyam Satyagraha was organised to protest the salt tax imposed by the British Raj in India.

  • 2.Indian History
    2.Indian history Colonial cities 1. With political and commercial realignments, old towns went into decline and new towns developed. The Mughal capitals, Delhi and Agra, lost their political authority. The growth of new regional powers was reflected in the increasing importance of regional capitals such as Lucknow, Hyderabad, Tanjore, etc. 2. From the mid-eighteenth century, previous commercial centres such as Surat, Masulipatnam and Dhaka declined and colonial port cities such as Madras, Calcutta and Bombay rapidly emerged as the new economic capitals. They also became centres of colonial administration and political power. 3. With the introduction of railways in 1853 economic activity gradually shifted away from traditional towns which were located along old routes and rivers. Every railway station became a collection depot for raw materials and a distribution point for imported goods. Railway towns like Jamalpur, Waltair and Bareilly developed. 4. From the beginning there were separate quarters for Europeans and Indians, which came to be labelled in contemporary writings as the White Town and Black Town respectively. Once the British captured political power these racial distinctions became sharper. 5. The nature of the colonial city changed further in the mid-nineteenth century. After the revolt of 1857 British attitudes in India were shaped by a constant fear of rebellion. They felt that towns needed to be better defended, and white people had to live in more secure and segregated enclaves, away from the threat of the natives. 6. Pasturelands and agricultural fields around the older towns were cleared, and new urban spaces called Civil lines were set up.
