Abstract

The sacrifice made by Indian women will take precedence above all others. The narratives of tribal women’s bravery, selflessness and sacrifice in the struggle for freedom are abundant. Many of us are unaware that hundreds of women fought alongside their male colleagues in battle. They fought with unwavering courage and true passion. The Indian tribal women broke free from several limitations and their traditional duties and obligations focused on the home. Therefore, the contribution of tribal women to the struggle for freedom and the national awakening is simply amazing and deserving of appreciation. An unrecorded, unheard of, and invisible aspect of India’s independence fightback is the role played by women liberation fighters in India. Everyone emphasises the significance of the masculine freedom fighter. However, achieving independence in India would have remained an impossible goal without the contributions of female freedom fighters. Many people are oblivious of their transformation from sati practitioners, victims of domestic violence, ignorant citizens and second-class citizens to outstanding liberation fight leaders. Participating in the Non-Cooperation Movement, doing satyagraha, propagating khadi and striking drinking establishments are just a few examples where Indian women have contributed significantly to this journey. Their contribution to the fight for freedom has been significant and honourable. When most of the men were incarcerated, a good thing occurred. Women of Bhart entered the realm of the struggle for independence. They had always made a contribution to the cause of freedom, but the British administration had been shocked by their unmatched fervour. The enormous awakening among Indian women and their role in Indian politics, the British Home Secretary had to concede, had troubled him more than anything else.

This article attempts to analyse why Rani Gaidinliu, who was a freedom fighter and social and religious reformer, was keen to preserve the identity and culture of her cognate tribe¹—the Zeme, Liangmai, Rongmai/Kabui and Npui. Does Heraka—a socio-religious movement started by Haipou Jadonang and later developed by the Rani—become a tool of ‘cultural revivalism’ and act as a means to unite cognate tribes? Why do we juxtapose Heraka with the Hindutva ideologues such as the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) that position Rani Gaidinliu in a new spirit of nationalism and identity as the lone woman spiritual and political protagonist of Northeast India? She used Heraka with politics to fulfil her goals in fighting the British. Using the interview method, I spoke to selected respondents, particularly elders and community leaders, about Rani Gaidinliu. Her story illustrates a rationality that could encourage marginalised and invisible women to become sociopolitical and spiritual leaders, questioning patriarchy and bringing about empowerment and social inclusion.

Up to 1965 in government records, there is evident mention of performance and death of Augustus Cleveland, Collector of Bhagalpur and Rajmahal (1779–1784), but in 1970, Ramlakhan Prasad Gond, an Engineer by profession, claimed the Collector’s killing by a rebel tribal leader whom he called ‘Tilka Manjhi’. The leader is nowhere mentioned in any government records of colonial and independent India. Even after Independence, the scholars and historians who worked and wrote on the tribes, tribal history, society and culture did not say anything about the said leader or his involvement in killing Augustus Cleveland. Rather on the basis of authentic historical evidences they recorded the administration and last days of Cleveland. Despite Tilka Manjhi’s absence in historical records and collective memory attempts are being made to link his lineage with Paharia or Santal and after 1970 at some quarters, his birthday celebrations are being organized; reports and articles published and institutions and streets named after him. Under this backdrop, the present paper makes an in-depth critical scrutiny of available records to find if the leader had any real existence.KeywordsTilka ManjhiAugust ClevelandRebellionPaharia policyDocumentsHistorical evidenceGovernment/official recordsMythMonumentTribal leader

This article argues that different types of politically motivated violence in South Asia are associated with different forms of governance and relationships between society and the state. This variation in local governance in turn is the product of unevenness in state formation across the political geography of India. It classifies conflict events in India in 2015 and 2016 into conceptual categories of sovereignty-neutral and sovereignty-challenging, theoretically reflecting the commonsense distinction between riots and rebellion. It presents evidence that different categories of state-society regimes at the district level are associated with different patterns of sovereignty-neutral and -challenging violence. It finds that urban-adjacent hegemonic state-society regimes are associated with high levels of sovereignty-neutral violence, revised state-society regimes with traditionally restrained state capacity are associated with high levels of sovereignty-challenging violence, and fragmented and accommodative regimes in the agrarian hinterland are associated with intermediary positions in both categories.

This article explores the demand of the Indian women's movement in the period 1917–1937 for political representation for women. This campaign took place within the framework of the constitutional reforms of 1919 and 1935. The Women's Indian Association founded by Margaret Cousins and her colleagues in 1917 demanded women's franchise and eligibility to the legislature on the same basis as men. The WIA launched a vigorous campaign and was supported by the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League. The Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms left the question of women's suffrage to be decided by the provincial legislatures. Madras was the first province to grant votes to women and between 1921 and 1930 one by one the provinces extended the franchise to women and allowed them to stand as legisalative candidates. In the years 1928–1937, there were debates on the terms under which women's franchise should be expanded. The British Government supported reservation of seats for women, separate electorates and continued but expanded franchise qualifications. Most of the leaders of the women's movement opposed separate electorates and reservation of seats for women and demanded adult franchise. The demand of the women's movement for equal political rights and women's active participation in the freedom struggle led the Indian National Congress at its Karachi session in 1931 to pledge gender equality before the law and universal adult franchise. This pledge was honoured in the Constitution of free India. The article also examines the 33 per cent reservation for women in panchayats and in municipal corporations and how far it has empowewred women.

Abstract The East India Company in India during the period of “indirect rule,” has so far been seen as a trading corporation drawn unprepared into the exigencies of warfare and rule. Early colonial rule, however, entailed much more than the quotidian problems of maintaining trade and commerce in the colonies. Its ideology and objectives derived from reigning notions of eighteenth century political economy, and it shared crucial aspects of nation-state formation in Georgian England. Through an exegetical reading of contemporary political economic texts, pamphlets and tracts, this essay attempts to elicit a sense of accepted ideas and articulations pertaining to the equations between nation, commerce, law and the state - especially as they were seen on the colonial front in eastern India.
