Book excerpt: Opening in July 1914, as Mohandas Gandhi leaves South Africa to return to India, Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1918 traces the Mahatma’s life over the three decades preceding his assassination. Drawing on new archival materials, acclaimed historian Ramachandra Guha follows Gandhi’s struggle to deliver India from British rule, to forge harmonious relations between India’s Hindus and Muslims, to end the pernicious practice of untouchability, and to nurture India’s economic and moral self-reliance. He shows how in each of these campaigns, Gandhi adapted methods of nonviolence that successfully challenged British authority and would influence revolutionary movements throughout the world. A revelatory look at the complexity of Gandhi’s thinking and motives, the book is a luminous portrait of not only the man himself, but also those closest to him—family, friends, and political and social leaders.

This book was released on 2023-12-02 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a hero? Is extraordinary bravery reserve only for those with bulging muscles and chiseled jawlines? Can a hero be found in the most unlikely of places, hidden away like a secret treasure waiting to be discovered? Well, my dear reader, prepare to have your perceptions shattered and your heart touched, for I am about to take you on a journey that will introduce you to a group of heroes unlike any other. In the pages of this book, you will find a tapestry woven with the stories of Indian female freedom fighters. Their tales will leave you breathless, their courage will ignite a flame within your soul, and their sacrifices will forever etch their names into the annals of history. The remarkable women, who emerged from the domestic enclosure to the mainstream, were warriors who fought not with swords and shields, but with fierce determination and unwavering love for their motherland. The Indian independence movement was a series of historic events with the ultimate aim of ending British rule in India also known as British Raj. It lasted until 1947. The first nationalistic revolutionary movement for Indian independence emerged from Bengal. It later took root in the newly formed Indian National Congress with prominent moderate leaders seeking the right to appear for Indian Civil Service examinations in British India, as well as more economic rights for natives. The first half of the 20th century saw a more radical approach towards self-rule. The stages of the independence struggle in the 1920s were characterize by the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi and Congress' adoption of Gandhi's policy of non-violence and civil disobedience. Female leaders like Sarojini Naidu, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Pritilata Waddedar, and Kasturba Gandhi promoted the emancipation of Indian women and their participation in the freedom struggle. The Indian independence movement was in constant ideological evolution. Essentially anti-colonial, it was supplemented by visions of independent, economic development with a secular, democratic, republican, and civil-libertarian political structure. After the 1930s, the movement took on a strong socialist orientation. It culminated in the Indian Independence Act 1947, which ended Crown suzerainty and partitioned British Raj into Dominion of India and Dominion of Pakistan. India remained a Crown Dominion until 26 January 1950, when the Constitution of India established the Republic of India. Pakistan remained a dominion until 1956 when it adopted its first constitution. In 1971, East Pakistan declared its own independence as Bangladesh. Whenever the history of India’s freedom struggle is written, the sacrifices made by Indian Women will surely find the most prominent place in it. It was disgraceful to call women a weaker section, it was an injustice committed to them by men. If they meant moral courage, women had it many times more than men did. If she had not had more inner strength, self-sacrifice and tolerance than men and humankind would not have survived. If man was govern by nonviolence, the future belongs to women. When most of the men folk were in prison, a wonderful thing happened. Our women jumped into the arena of freedom struggle. They had always been contributing in the freedom struggle, but the wave of their unprecedented enthusiasm had surprised the British Government. The Home Secretary of the British government had to confess that nothing had disturbed him more than the great awakening among the Indian Women and the part played by them in Indian politics. As we turn the pages of history, we shall encounter the valiant Rani of Jhansi, who rode fearlessly into battle, her sword gleaming in the sunlight as she led her troops against the British forces. We shall meet the indomitable Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain, who defied societal norms to fight for the freedom of her people from societal constraints. These women. Like drops in a torrential downpour, joined hands to create a deluge of revolution that would change the course of history forever. However, let us not be mistaken, dear reader, for the heroines of this tale were not limited to battlefields and war zones alone. No, their fight extended beyond the physical realm. They fought for equality, for justice, for the right to be seen and heard. They challenged the patriarchal norms that sought to confine women to the domestic sphere, and in doing so, they carved a path for future generations to tread upon. As we traverse the pages of this book, we shall delve into the lives of these shining stars of history. We shall observe their triumphs and their sorrows. We shall celebrate their indomitable spirit and honor their memory, for they deserve nothing less than our utmost admiration and respect. Dear reader, prepare to embark on a journey unlike any other. Together, let us step into the extraordinary lives of the Indian female freedom fighters and witness the power of a single voice, a single dream, and a single act of bravery.

Download or read book Women and Violence in India written by Tamsin Bradley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India's endemic gender-based violence has received increased international scrutiny and provoked waves of domestic protest and activism. In recent years, related studies on India and South Asia have proliferated but their analyses often fail to identify why violence flourishes. Unwilling to simply accept patriarchy as the answer, Tamsin Bradley presents new research examining how different groups in India conceptualise violence against women, revealing beliefs around religion, caste and gender that render aggression socially acceptable. She also analyses the role that neoliberalism, and its corollary consumerism, play in reducing women to commodity objects for barter or exchange. Unpacking varied conservative, liberal and neoliberal ideologies active in India today, Bradley argues that they can converge unexpectedly to normalise violence against women. Due to these complex and overlapping factors, rates of violence against women in India have actually increased despite decades of feminist campaigning. This book will be crucial to those studying Indian gender politics and violence, but also presents new data and methodologies which have practical implications for researchers and policymakers worldwide.
