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.

Without Fear
Author: Kuldip Nayar
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 9789350292204
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
BHAGAT SINGH (1907-1931) lived at a time when India's freedom struggle was beginning to fl ag and when Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent, passive resistance to partial liberation was beginning to test the patience of the people. The youth of India was inspired by Bhagat Singh's call to arms and enthused by the defiance and dare-devilry of the army wing of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association to which he and his comrades, Sukhdev and Rajguru, belonged. His call, Inquilab Zindabad! became the war-cry of the fi ght for freedom. When Bhagat Singh was executed by the British after a sham trial for his involvement in the Lahore Conspiracy Case at the age of twenty-three, he was glorifi ed by the Indians as a martyr - for his youth, his heroism, and his steadfast courage in the face of certain death. It was only many years later - after Independence in 1947 - that his jail writings came to light. Today, it is these works that set Bhagat Singh apart from the many revolutionaries who laid down their lives for India. They reveal him as not just a passionate freedom-fighter who believed in the cult of the bomb but a widely-read intellectual inspired by the writings of, among others, Marx, Lenin, Bertrand Russell and Victor Hugo; a revolutionary whose vision did not end with the ouster of the British, but who looked further, towards a secular, socialist India. In this book, commemorating the hundredth birth anniversary of this iconic young man, Kuldip Nayar takes a close look at the man behind the martyr: his beliefs, his intellectual leanings, his dreams and his despair. The book explains for the first time why Hans Raj Vohra turned approver and betrayed Bhagat Singh, and throws new light on Sukhdev, whose loyalties have been questioned by some historians. But most of all it puts in perspective Bhagat Singh's use of violence, so strongly condemned by Gandhi and many others as being extremist. Bhagat Singh's intent was never to kill the largest number or strike terror in the hearts of the British through the gruesomeness of his attacks; his fearlessness was not fuelled by the empty bravura of guns and youth. It was held together by the wisdom of his reading and the strength of his beliefs.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 483
Book Description
The continual tussles over Bhagat Singh's identity, even more amplified of late, are a testament to the heroic status the man continues to hold in the annals of the Indian freedom struggle. Despite him having addressed his views on religion, politics and activism, there are many willing to forge completely new narratives of his life, and many more willing to believe them. A timely antidote, this meticulously researched biography is an expansive foray into the life of Bhagat Singh. The volume deliberates upon his family from before when he was born, examining along the way the role that various episodes, policies and people played in shaping the identity of a legendary revolutionary, while also delving into his opinions on important questions of the time. It shines a bright light on the oft-ignored personal influences that made Singh who he was, along with the issue of his contested identity in today's politics. This is the definitive Bhagat Singh biography of our times.

Kauṭilīya Arthaśāstra Revisited
Author: Surendra Nath Mital
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
In This Book S.N. Mital Examines In Detail And Refutes The Views Held By Many Scholars That The Text Of Kautiliya Arthasastra Was Not Written By A Single Author And That The Date Of Its Composition Cannot Be Attributed To A Single Century. The Book Has Been Primarily Written As A Reply To T.R. Trautmann'S Kautilya And The Arthasastra, In Which He Tried To Prove, With The Help Of Statistics, That The Arthasastra Was A Compilation Of Writings By Three Or Four Authors, Edited By Kautilya. This View Was Based On An Analysis Of The Frequency Of The Use Of Ca (And) And Va (Or) In Different Portions Of The Arthasastra. Trautmann Also Seems To Have Used This Argument To Maintain That The Arthasastra Was Composed Sometime After The Second Century. Mital Tries To Show, Through His Own Collection Of Statistics, That Trautmann'S Thesis Is Misconceived And That Va Was More Frequently Used In Those Portions Of The Text Where The Subject Treated Is Primarily Political, And Ca Was More Frequently Used Where The Discussion Is Primarily Theoretical, And So This Difference In The Frequency Of Use Of Va And Ca Does Not Indicate Different Authors. Mital Asserts That The Arthasastra Was Written By Kautilya In The Fourth Century Bc, As Is Generally Supposed, And Not In The Third Century Ad, A View Propounded By Some Western As Also Some Indian Scholars Who Wrote In The 1920S And 1930S.
