![]() The one and only follower of Bapu on whom he could not cast his carishma was Subhash Chandra Bose. He is one of the most dynamic leaders of our country. He is also popularly known as Netaji. He was the first to establish cultural ties by forming centers in the various capital cities of Europe. He graduated from the Scottish Church College with a First Class degree in Philosophy. Deeply moved by the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Punjab, Subhash left his Civil Services midway from England and returned to India. He joined the Indian National Congress and worked under the leadership of Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das. He believed that the Bhagavad Gita was a great source of inspiration for the freedom struggle. Swami Vivekananda's teachings on universalism, his emphasis on social service had all inspired him from his very young days. The Hindu spirituality formed his political thought throughout his adult life, although there was no sense of bigotry or orthodoxy in it. His radical stance in various party forums, h ...

![]() The Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is actually one of six major observatories built by the Maharajah. The one in Jaipur not only follows the movements of the sun and the moon to help determine auspicious dates for events, it also helps map out the position of the stars in the sky. Although no telescopic instruments were available at the time, the precise observation of the stars was greatly facilitated by observatories such as Jantar Mantar. It should also be noted that such an endeavor (six major observatories, a staff of full-time priests etc.) did not come to a small cost. This is further evidence of the importance placed on the study of the stars. As mentioned earlier, both astrology and astronomy were reasons to build these structures. Unlike the "west", astrology did not become as pseudo-science as astronomy became more factual and experimental. Instead, both were considered an integral part of society. Ancient India's contributions in the field of astronomy are well known and well documented. The earlies ...
![]() Now that is the biggest question most of us are facing. We are not the people who'll just talk about politics, crib about it, then do nothing about it. We want to vote, for a good candidate who can do something good for the constituency and the country. But who is the good candidate in your constituency? How do we decide? If Loksatta party is contesting in your constituency, lucky you! But for someone like me, residing in a constituency where no 'clean and efficient' candidate is contesting, it becomes tougher to decide on whom to vote for. I have to now choose between the Devil (BJP) and the Deep Blue Sea (Congress), about JD(S), the less we talk, the better it is! Mr. Krishnappa contesting from the BJP has not done any significant work in his last term and is known to be corrupt. Mrs. Tejaswini Ramesh contesting from the INC seems to be promising, but her past record as MP isn't great. I would gladly vote for the Congress party if they bring people like Krishna Byregowda et al to power, I would vote for ...

![]() The heading of this note might sound a typo for many but it is not !! What has played out in the last few days is a scam bigger than the scam. A neuroscientist of Indian origin, V.S. Ramachandran, has noted that the human brain might get lost in variations of “free will”, but can certainly be clear about a “free won’t”. Mr Ramachandran should start classes for powerful Indian politicians. Dangle a temptation before them, and stick to “will”, rarely opting for “won’t”. One sign of the march of Indian democracy is creative progress in the science of corruption. In the shoddy old days, someone took a bag stuffed with cash, a flunky counted the rupees and took it to the master’s bedroom. A high dignitary like a Prime Minister would get more respect; his cash came in a proper suitcase. A bull operator on the Mumbai stock exchange claimed in the early 1990s that he had gifted P.V. Narasimha Rao with a suitcase packed with Rs 1 crores in neat bundles. These days, of course, such a pittance ...

It was a direct action campaign of tax resistance and nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly in colonial India, and triggered the wider Civil Disobedience Movement. This was the most significant organized challenge to British authority since the Non-cooperation movement of 1920–22, and directly followed the Purna Swaraj declaration of independence by the Indian National Congress on January 26, 1930. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (commonly called Mahatma Gandhi) led the Dandi march from his base, Sabarmati Ashram near Ahmedabad, to the sea coast near the village of Dandi.

![]() History of CONGRESS:-- Congress Party (officially Indian National Congress) Oldest political party in India, whose fortunes have often been intertwined with the Nehru dynasty. Founded in 1885, Congress was not prominent until after World War I, when ‘Mahatma’ Gandhi transformed it into a mass independence movement, agitating by means of civil disobedience. Jawaharlal Nehru became president of the Congress in 1929. In the 1937 provincial elections it gained power in many states. During World War II (after the British refused to grant self-government) it remained neutral. At independence (1947), Nehru became Prime Minister. Nehru's daughter Indira Gandhi became Prime Minister in 1966, but in 1969 was challenged by a right wing faction (led by Moraji Desai) causing a split in the party. Indira's Congress (I) suffered a landslide defeat at the elections of 1977. They returned to power in 1979, and in 1984 (after Indira's assassination) her son Rajiv Gandhi became leader, securing the party's re-election i ...

Moreover, almost all the princely states were under the control of British govt. A similar situation existed in Italy after Napolean and before 1848.

![]() Background of Kashmir Issue From 1846 to 1847, Kashmir was one and the largest of over 500 semi-independent princely states of what was then called the Indian Sub-Continent. These princely states which were under overall British suzerainty covered only a fraction of the Land and the population of the Sub- Continent. The rest, called British India, was under direct rule of the British. Towards the end of the first quarter of the present century, both the main political parties of the sub-continent, Indian National Congress and All India Muslim League had accelerated the struggle for freedom of the subcontinent. The Second World War further strengthened their movement and the British had to pledge them freedom after the war.

One confirmed by the declaration made by the British government on June 3, 1947 and on August 14 and 15, 1947 respectively came into existence two independent stat ...
![]() Why Indian National Congress has not been dissolved after Independence? Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel are said to have held the view that the INC was formed only for achieving independence and should have been disbanded in 1947. But, the movement developed into a party developed against the wish of our Leaders Gandhi advised to dissolve the INC but the powers that were felt that wasn't necessary. But let me quote your very own Ramachandra Guha. With a past to honor - Despite what it has done to itself in recent years, history should still remember the Indian National Congress as one of the great political parties of the modern world. That, says Ramachandra Guha, explains why he is particularly angry with it. The case of the Congress is different. This was the party that led the movement for freedom, the party that united India and brought people of different religions and languages into a single political project. Its best leaders had a Universalist vision. Its ministers and legislators were once men an ...
![]() Akali Dal was formed on December 14, 1920 as a task force of the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee, the Sikh religious body. The Akali Dal considers itself the principal representative of Sikhs. Sardar Sarmukh Singh Chubbal was the first president of a unified proper Akali Dal, but it was under Master Tara Singh that Akali Dal became a force to reckon with. The party launched the Punjabi Suba movement to create a Sikh majority state in the undivided East Punjab under the leadership of Sant Fateh Singh. In 1966, the modern-day East Punjab was formed, but its division led to bitter conflict. Akali Dal came to power in Punjab, but many times the party's governments were dismissed due to internal conflicts & minute mandate in its favor.

![]() History of Arunachal Pradesh (Excerpts from the speech of Rakesh Kumar, ST (Hist) GHSS Miao presented during Statehood Day 2013 at Miao) History of Arunachal Pradesh dates back to thousands of years as we find reference of mountain Prabhu in Kalika Puran and Mahabharata as mentioned by Kalhana the 7th Century Sanskrit Poet in his book ‘Raj Tarangini. Today’s Arunachal is referred to as Udyadri or Udriyachal. All the historical and religious places like Parsuram Kund, Bhismaknagar, Malinithan, Itafort and temple of Goddess Tamreswari are sufficient evidences to certify the ancient origin of the state. In 1914 the entire region was under North Eastern Frontier Tract that was trifurcated into Frontier Tracks of Lakhimpur, Balipara and Sadiya in 1919.

![]() United Bangal Partition of Bengal (1947) In January 1947, Sarat Chandra Bose resigned from the Indian National Congress, partially in protest against the partition of Bengal. He called for an Independent Bengal separate from both India and Pakistan, and formed his own party - the Socialist Republican Party.[8][9] At that time, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy and Abul Hashem, two Bengali leaders of the Muslim League also advocated for an Independent Bengal comprising both the Eastern (now Bangladesh) and Western (now West Bengal) parts of Bengal.[8][10] Akram Khan (politician) and Khawaja Nazimuddin, two other Muslim League leaders wanted a United Bengal as part of Pakistan.

But all that I could find is about the glory of Sonia, Rahul and Manmohan Singh and another section for Rajeev Gandhi. The website of Indian National Congress could have been enriched by incorporating a lot of things about its heritage and history and photos etc. from the time of its formation; but curiously enough, these things are just given a small section that is not prominently displayed in the website. I had expected to see the photos of Indira Gandhi, J.Nehru et.al in the front page itself.

It formed United Progressive Alliance (UPA) with allies and staked claim to form government. In a surprise move, Chairperson Sonia Gandhi declared Manmohan Singh, a technocrat, as the UPA candidate for the Prime Ministership. Despite the fact that Singh had never won a Lok Sabha seat, he "has enjoyed massive popular support, not least because he was seen by many as a clean politician untouched by the taint of corruption that has run through many Indian administrations."He took the oath as the Prime Minister of India on 22 May 2004.

Dr. Annie Besant (1847-1933) a great Theosophist, Home Ruler and the first woman president of the Indian National Congress wrote in her autobiography Chapter VI: “I lifted up my voice in all our great towns [in England] trying to touch the consciences of the people, and to make them feel the immorality of a land stealing, piratical policy. Against war, against capital punishment, against flogging, demanding national education instead of big guns, public libraries instead of warships…” Now, again, the debate is on the subject of capital punishment. Why great people like Dr. Besant opposed capital punishment and other barbarous punishments like flogging and chopping off the limbs?

The shooting that took place was ordered by Brigadier-General Reginald E.H. Dyer. On Sunday, 13 April 1919, Dyer was convinced of a major insurrection and thus he banned all meetings. On hearing that a meeting of 15,000 to 20,000 people including women, children and the elderly had assembled at Jallianwala Bagh, Dyer went with fifty riflemen to a raised bank and ordered them to shoot at the crowd. Dyer continued the firing for about ten minutes, till the ammunition supply was almost exhausted; Dyer stated that 1,650 rounds had been fired, a number which seems to have been derived by counting empty cartridge cases picked up by the troops.Official British Indian sources gave a figure of 379 identified dead,[1] with approximately 1,100 wounded. The casualty number estimated by the Indian National Congress was more than 1,500, wit ...

He studied law in London, but in 1893 went to South Africa, where he spent 20 years opposing discriminatory legislation against Indians. As a pioneer of Satyagraha, or resistance through mass non-violent civil disobedience, he became one of the major political and spiritual leaders of his time. Satyagraha remains one of the most potent philosophies in freedom struggles throughout the world today. In 1914, Gandhi returned to India, where he supported the Home Rule movement, and became leader of the Indian National Congress, advocating a policy of non-violent non-co-operation to achieve independence. His goal was to help poor farmers and laborers protest oppressive taxation and discrimination. He struggled to alleviate poverty, liberate women and put an end to caste discrimination, with the ultimate objective being self-rule for India. Following his civil disobedience campaign (1919-22), he was ...

![]() BAD LUCK OF INDIA Everything started in early 1946 when the Indian National Congress had to elect a new president. It was an accepted fact that the leader chosen as Congress president would become the first Prime Minister of independent India. Three candidates were in the race: Acharya Kripalani, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Sardar Patel. The working committee of the INC and the pradesh committees had to send their nomination for one of the three candidates. Sardar Patel was easily the most popular. Everyone knew his efficiency and his toughness for tackling difficult problems. Twelve out of 19 Pradesh committees nominated him. None nominated Nehru. From the start Gandhi had indicated that he favoured Nehru. His reasoning was that his British education was an asset: 'Jawaharlal cannot be replaced today whilst the charge is being taken from the British. He, a Harrow boy, a Cambridge graduate, and a barrister, is wanted to carry on the negotiations with the Englishmen.' Another point Gandhi made was that while Sar ...

The first serious challenge to Congress hegemony came in 1967 when a new coalition, under the banner of the Samyukt Vidhayak Dal, won control over several states in the Hindi belt. Indira Gandhi (not related to Mahatma Gandhi), the daughter of Nehru, and Congress president, was then challenged by the majority of the party leadership. The conflict led to a split, and Indira launched a separate INC. Initially this party was known as Congress (R), but it soon came to be generally known as the "New Congress". The official party became the Indian National Congress (Organisation) (INC(O)) led by Kamaraj. It was informally called the "Old Congress". As Indira Gandhi had control over the national state machinery, her faction was seen as the official INC by the Election Commission of India, although her party was a break-away group.

![]() The first Indian Prime Minister Pandit Nehru (1889-1964) was a Freemason and Illuminati shill. He was in bed, in more ways than one, with Lord Mountbatten and his wife Edwina. As we know, the biggest Illuminati project of the 20th century was Communism. The Illuminati fostered the growth of the Indian National Congress through its operatives, A.O Hume and William Wederburn.

He subjected himself to theBritish and pleaded clemency on theirconditions and agreed to give full co-operation to them. Many documents to this effect are availablein the national archives. He also worked against Gandhi and the Indian National Congress, which were the symbols of Indian national movement of indian freedom struggle. The conditions in the prison of the Andamans were no doubt harsh but not a few patriots faced it courageously. But Savarkar was not one among them. He appealed for clemency, first in 1911 and then again in 1913 , the latter during the visit of Sir Reginald Craddock.

![]() Philosophy of Subhash Chandra Bose: Ramesh C Manghirmalani The principles and the philosophy of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose were instrumental factors in his embracing of armed revolution in the later part of his political career. Initially Bose was a follower of the Gandhian way of freedom movement but years of travel in European countries during exile and the ripening of mental faculties with age made him disenchanted with the ways of the Indian National Congress. Subhash Chandra's hatred for the British ran deep and he vehemently called for the immediate ouster of the colonial rulers from Indian soil. Disappointed with the leniency shown by some Congress leaders towards the British, Bose became increasingly convinced that the goal of achieving freedom would remain a pipedream as long as the British held sway over the land and peaceful protests would never be able to throw the British out. While outlining his vision for a free India, Subhash Chandra Bose proclaimed that socialist authoritarianism would . ...

![]() Gandhi - 'Mahatma' or Flawed Genius? National Leader or Manipulative Politician? Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in 1869 in a stately and handsome three-storied home in Porbandar, grandson of the chief administrator of the small Princely State in coastal Gujarat. Acknowledging that he was born into a family of politicians, always involved in secret alliances and mutual promotions, in one letter, he wrote: "I knew then, and know better now, that much of my father's time was taken up in mere intrigue." In another letter to his nephew, Chaganlal, he acknowledged the notoriety of his political family: "...that is, we are known to belong to a band of robbers". It is to Gandhi's credit that he saw his family for what it was, and attempted to transcend it's narrow Modh Bania outlook; but often, subconsciously learned behavior dies hard. The tendency towards backroom wheeling and dealing did not entirely escape Gandhi himself as he rose to become the Indian National Congress's most influential political l ...
![]() "Moderates" versus "Extremists" in the battle for "Swaraj" and "Swadeshi" Even as loyalist pressures cast a long shadow on political currents that were to influence the Indian elite of the late nineteenth century, rapidly deteriorating economic conditions also led to a heightened degree of radicalization amongst the most advanced sections of the new Indian intelligentsia. Ajit Singh in Punjab, Bal Gangadhar Tilak in Maharashtra, Chidambaram Pillay in Tamil Nadu and Bipin Chandra Pal in Bengal formed the nucleus of a new nationalist movement that tried valiantly, but mostly unsuccessfully to move the conservative leadership of the Indian National Congress in a more radical direction. Most charismatic amongst the new national leaders was Bal Gangadhar Tilak (b. 1856, d. 1920). Portrayed as anti-Muslim by the Muslim-League, maligned by India's colonial rulers and British loyalists as an "extremist", and misrepresented as a sectarian Hindu revivalist by some historians, Tilak was in fact, one of the leadin ...

Gujarat lose of Indian National Congress is also due to over domination of Central leadership to local leaders as Birbhadra Singh did not allow central leaders to dominate Himachal politics so they won but in Gujarat central leaders have spoiled the Gujarat 's chance of winning by wrong selection of candidate and excessive domination on local leaders despite there was clear anti Modi wave .So Gujarat Congress lost but it is interesting that vote share of Gujarat Congress increased to 40 ...

This meant a confrontation with Mohandas Gandhi, who in fact opposed Bose's presidency, splitting the Indian National Congress party. Bose attempted to maintain unity, but Gandhi advised Bose to form his own cabinet. The rift also divided Bose and Nehru. Bose appeared at the 1939 Congress meeting on a stretcher. He was elected president again over Gandhi's preferred candidate Pattabhi Sitaramayya.U. Muthuramalingam Thevar strongly supported Bose in the intra-Congress dispute. Thevar mobilised all south India votes for Bose.

We will have to think about it seriously and will have to remain alert. This is saffron terrorism that I have talked about.” This is a rare admission coming from the Indian National Congress that seems to be under considerable pressure from the Hindu right in view of the next elections. Although there has been an immediate denial coming from the Bharatiya Janata Party quarters, this admission explains some of the problems also that India and Pakistan have in their dealing with terrorism that is, as we can see, not a Pakistani problem alone.

![]() Origin of Republic Day India became independent from the British Rule on 15th August, 1947. However, the country did not have its own constitution and wholly depended on the modified colonial Government of India Act, 1935. Also, India was headed by King George VI, until the adoption of the Indian Constitution in 1950. Prior to this, the seeds of a republican nation were sowed by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru in the Lahore session at the Indian National Congress at the midnight of 31st December, 1929 - 1st January, 1930. The tri-color flag was unfurled by the nationalists present who took a pledge to celebrate ‘Purna Swaraj’ (complete Independence) Day every year on 26th January, while continuing to fight for the establishment of a Sovereign Democratic Republic of India. The independence was achieved in 1947 while the professed pledge was redeemed on 26th January, 1950.

Later, during a lecture tour in South East Asian countries, where Indian and Chinese origin minorities are also discriminated I noticed that the minorities are palpably anguished. The latest incidents of organized attacks by Bengali Muslims on hill dwelling Chakma tribals in Khagrachari areas firmed up my decision to chronicle a preliminary account of the conditions of the non-Muslim minorities in Pakistan. I had earlier written a piece on the plight of the Pakistani Christians. I have not touched upon the plight of the Shia and Ahmadiya (non-Muslim) communities in Pakistan, which require international attention.

![]() Gandhi's Passion The Life and Legacy of Mahatma Gandhi By STANLEY WOLPERT Oxford University Press Midnight in Calcutta Mahatma Gandhi fell into "darkest despair" on the eve of India's independence in August 1947. Savage fighting spread from Punjab and the North-West Frontier to Eastern Bengal and Bihar. Brutal violence unleashed a year earlier by Muslim thugs in Calcutta had triggered Hindu counterattacks and the murder of more Muslims in Bihar. Mayhem, rape, and murder spread to the villages of Bengal as well, each report inciting more massacres of innocents as communal hatred raged across most of South Asia's subcontinent. On July 17, 1947, acting on the advice of India's Prime Minister-in-waiting, Jawaharlal Nehru, and the consent of Pakistan's governor-general-to-be M. A.
