The Idea of Being Indians and the Making of India by George Varuggheese Pdf

The book The Idea of Being Indians and the Making of India is a must read for all Indians. It informs them why India is a colony of its middle class who keeps the 80 percent of the population out of the benefits of all economic planning and development. The answer is that the struggle for Indias freedom was waged by its middle-class leaders only to drive the British out of power and not to get rid of the feudal-fascist governance structures of administration, judiciary, and police, which were crushing us, according to Nehrus admission in his book The Discovery of India. These crushing structures, our leaders themselves took over and had the taste of the power and pelf that flowed, and their feast still continues while the nation gets the human development ranking at 136 among 187 nations, according the latest Human Development Report released by the UNDP in March 2013. The book narrates in lucid language that the noble and highly egalitarian missions of the Indian Republic, contained in the Preamble to the Constitution of India, could not be translated into experiential comforts for people of this country only because they were not compatible with the feudal-fascist revenue-collection-oriented structures inherited from the British. The book argues that when leaders who, after making a set of highly republican and democratically oriented development objectives for their country, adopt them as the Preamble to the Constitution of India instead of creating relevant democratic republican governance structures to implement, they deliberately pick up the regressive feudal-fascist governance structures used by the colonial government for their selfish ends. It is tantamount not only to a political scam but to a spiritual one. The author gives a twelve-point sarvodaya good governance model' as remedy to these strategic errors of our founding fathers and for making a resurgent India with the help of the mission statements of the Indian Republic enshrined in the Preamble to the Constitution of India. The author argues that the mission statements in the Preamble to the Constitution of India contain the idea of being Indians of a healthy, prosperous, and peaceful society at total or 100 percent population level. The making of India of such a society is in the hands of the people of India, especially the youth.

The Idea of Being Indians and the Making of India by George Varuggheese Pdf

ABOUT THE BOOK: In 'The Idea of Being Indians and the Making of India, ' author George Varuggheese has attempted what no other author has tried so far in the independent India. The great question that had puzzled millions of Indians was why India is still behaving like the colony that was ruled by the British feudal-fascist government. In this book, the author had tried to answer that question very lucidly and convincingly. And the result? A million dollar scam of a sociological nature, nurtured and sustained by the middle class leaders who acted as the founding fathers of Indian Republic, had come to the surface of Indian history of the past 67 years. With anecdotes from Jawaharlal Nehru's writings, he has established that the Indian middle class leaders who were products of the union between the bad sections of the British middle class and the bad sections of the Indian middle class, had decided that they were capable of taking the control of government from the British personnel and therefore fought for India's freedom from foreign rule. They succeeded in driving the British colonial rulers away and taking over their control systems of police, judiciary and administration for running the Republic of India. Now, where is the scam in all these? Well, In modern vocabulary, a scam stands for a fraudulent act or set of acts involving personal gains of the perpetrators of such acts. When a group of leaders after openly declaring democratic and republican goals for their country in the Preamble to the Constitution of their country, make detailed provisions for continuing with the feudal, oppressive governance systems of their erstwhile colonial masters, that can be called a socio-economic-spiritual scam sculpted on behalf of the Indian middle class against the 80% of the population which was excluded from the development agenda of the country. What is more surprising revelation in this book is the fact that it was Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel who led the majority group of capitalist leaders of the Constituent Assembly of India to draft the Constitutional provisions for retaining the feudal fascist governance structures of the erstwhile colonial government for running the Republic of India. While the Modi government in Gujarat had decided to erect a 600-ft statue of Sardar Patel in reverence to the heroics he had shown in uniting the small princely states of pre-independent India and named the statue as Statue of Unity, author Varuggheese had denounced Modi's effort as statue in remembrance of the feudal-fascist mind set of Indian middle class. Though Nehru opposed the feudal-fascist governance structures of the British colonial government, he could not do anything to prevent Patel from having his way, as Nehru's socialist group consisted of only a minority. Author Varuggheese gives a 12-point sarvodaya good governance model in the book based on the Mission Statements of the Indian Republic as given in the Preamble to the Constitution of India to recover the lost chances of Indian Republic at the hands of the founding fathers. It is for the first time that an author has tried to present the Preamble to the Constitution of India as the Mission Statements of the Republic of India. He also feels that the new political party emerged in India, i.e. the Aam Aadmi Party led by Arvind Kejriwal and Yogendra Yadav will be able to redeem India from the feudal-fascist governance structures foisted on the Republic of India by the founding fathers of India as their party is driven by the ideology of 'swaraj' or the rule by people. In fact, he is sure that the Aam Aadmi Party leaders will be called the makers of a new India, as India is all set to walk the path of 'swaraj. The Idea of Being Indians and the Making of India is a book meant for every Indian home or those who cares for India.

Making India: Colonialism, National Culture, and the Afterlife of Indian English Authority by Makarand R. Paranjape Pdf

Compared to how it looked 150 years ago at the eve of the colonial conquest, today’s India is almost completely unrecognizable. A sovereign nation, with a teeming, industrious population, it is an economic powerhouse and the world’s largest democracy. It can boast of robust legal institutions and a dizzying plurality of cultures, in addition to a lively and unrestricted print and electronic media. The question is how did it get to where it is now? Covering the period from 1800 to 1950, this study of about a dozen makers of modern India is a valuable addition to India’s cultural and intellectual history. More specifically, it shows how through the very act of writing, often in English, these thought leaders reconfigured Indian society. The very act of writing itself became endowed with almost a charismatic authority, which continued to influence generations that came after the exit of the authors from the national stage. By examining the lives and works of key players in the making of contemporary India, this study assesses their relationships with British colonialism and Indian traditions. Moreover, it analyzes how their use of the English language helped shape Indian modernity, thus giving rise to a uniquely Indian version of liberalism. The period was the fiery crucible from which an almost impossibly diverse and pluralistic new nation emerged through debate, dialogue, conflict, confrontation, and reconciliation. The author shows how the struggle for India was not only with British colonialism and imperialism, but also with itself and its past. He traces the religious and social reforms that laid the groundwork for the modern sub-continental state, proposed and advocated in English by the native voices that influenced the formation India’s society. Merging culture, politics, language, and literature, this is a path breaking volume that adds much to our understanding of a nation that looks set to achieve much in the coming century.

‘Greater India’ and the Indian Expansionist Imagination, c. 1885–1965 by Jolita Zabarskaitė Pdf

This book is the first systematic study of the genealogy, discursive structures, and political implications of the concept of ‘Greater India’, implying a Hindu colonization of Southeast Asia, and used by extension to argue for a past Indian greatness as a colonial power, reproducible in the present and future. From the 1880s to the 1960s, protagonists of the Greater India theme attempted to make a case for the importance of an expansionist Indian civilisation in civilizing Southeast Asia. The argument was extended to include Central Asia, Africa, North and South America, and other regions where Indian migrants were to be found. The advocates of this Indocentric and Hindu revivalist approach, with Hindu and Indian often taken to be synonymous, were involved in a quintessentially parochial project, despite its apparently international dimensions: to justify an Indian expansionist imagination that viewed India’s past as a colonizer and civilizer of other lands as a model for the restoration of that past greatness in the future. Zabarskaite shows that the crucial ideologues and elements used for the formation of the construct of Greater India can be traced to the svadeśī movement of the turn of the century, and that Greater India moved easily between the domains of the scholarly and the popular as it sought to establish itself as a form of nationalist self-assertion.

An Intellectual History for India by Shruti Kapila Pdf

This volume addresses the power of ideas in the making of Indian political modernity. As an intermediate history of connections between South Asia and the global arena the volume raises new issues in intellectual history. It reviews the period from the emergence of constitutional liberalism in the1830s, through the swadeshi era to the writings of Tilak, Azad and Gandhi in the twentieth century. While several contributions reflect on the ideologies of nationalism, the volume seeks to rescue intellectual history from being simply a narration of the nation-state. It does not seek to create a 'canon' of political thought so much as to show how Indian concepts of state and society were redrawn in the context of emergent globalized debates about freedom, the constitution of the self and the good society in the late colonial era. In so doing the contributions here resituate an Indian intellectual history that has long been eclipsed by social and political history. These essays were originally published in a Special issue of the journal Modern Intellectual History (CUP, April 2007).

Ecological Indian by Shepard Krech III Pdf

"A good story and first-rate social science."—New York Times Book Review The idea of the Native American living in perfect harmony with nature is one of the most cherished contemporary myths. But how truthful is this larger-than-life image? According to anthropologist Shepard Krech, the first humans in North America demonstrated all of the intelligence, self-interest, flexibility, and ability to make mistakes of human beings anywhere. As Nicholas Lemann put it in The New Yorker, "Krech is more than just a conventional-wisdom overturner; he has a serious larger point to make. . . . Concepts like ecology, waste, preservation, and even the natural (as distinct from human) world are entirely anachronistic when applied to Indians in the days before the European settlement of North America." "Offers a more complex portrait of Native American peoples, one that rejects mythologies, even those that both European and Native Americans might wish to embrace."—Washington Post
