Book Description
Largely unknown to the general public, Sri Aurobindo is one of the most mysterious and influential figures of 20th-century India. At the age of twenty, this young Indian poet, steeped in classical culture developed at Cambridge, returned to his native land, only to find his country bent under the yoke of British colonialism - whereupon he affirmed a passionate commitment to work for her liberation. The devotion to India would lead him to the discovery of the wisdom embodied in her ancient scriptures - the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. His political struggle became inseparable from his spiritual quest. Forerunner of a modern, democratic nationalism, Sri Aurobindo inspired and captivated India with his scathing editorials - between 1906-1910 in the Bande Mataram, then in the Karmayogin - causing him to be called "the most dangerous man in India" by the British regime. He was arrested and narrowly escaped deportation. Outwardly, he succeeded in launching India's Liberation Movement, laying the foundations of the political strategy combined with spiritual insights, which ultimately resulted in the withdrawal of the British in 1947 - an outcome still attributed to Gandhi alone.

India's Revolutionary Inheritance
Author: Chris Moffat
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108750052
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
What do anti-colonial histories mean for politics in contemporary India? How can we understand a political terrain that appears crowded with the dead, heroic figures from past struggles who call the living to account and demand action? What role do these 'afterlives' play in the inauguration of new politics and the fashioning of possible futures? In this engaging and innovative analysis of anti-colonial afterlives in modern South Asia, Chris Moffat crafts a framework that takes the dead seriously - not as passive entities, ceremonially invoked, but as active interlocutors and instigators in the present. Focusing on the iconic revolutionary martyr Bhagat Singh (1907–1931), Moffat establishes the problem of inheritance as central to the forms and futures of democracy in this postcolonial polity. Tracing Bhagat Singh's revenant presence in India today, he demonstrates how living communities are animated by a sense of obligation, duty or debt to the dead.
