Volume

v. 17 ISBN 9780195656374

Description

Govind Ballabh Pant was in the front rank of nationalist leaders who played a key role, first in India's struggle for freedom and subsequently in the politics and administration of independent India. He was a member of the highest policy-making echelons of the Indian National Congress, Deputy Leader of the Congress party in the Central Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister of U.P. and Home Minister in the Union Cabinet headed by Jawaharlal Nehru. The seventeeth volume of the Selected Works of Govind Ballabh Pant covers nearly twenty-nine months of Pandit Pant's term as union Home Minister, from August 1956 to December 1958. During this period the work of reorganisation of States begun in 1955 was completed and the reorganised States and Union Territories were grouped into five zones to facilitate cooperation among them. Certain territories of Bihar were transferred to West Bengal not on linguistic but geographical consideration. A political solution to the Naga problem besetting the country - specially the State of Assam - for the previous two years was found. Legislation was enacted for slum clearance in Delhi and other Union Territories and the publication of books considered harmful to juveniles and adolescents was made a cognizable offence. Pant also took keen interest in the affairs of the Congress party. Presenting the party's statement on its economic programme before the A.I.C.C. in 1956, he laid emphasis on fulfilling the targets of the Second Five Year Plan in order to usher in the socialist pattern of society. While campaigning for the general elections in 1957, Pant emphasized the need for eradicating the evils of casteism and communalism which he said, were weakening not only the Congress but the whole country. The Selected Works of Govind Ballabh Pant is a series that will not only document and illuminate the career and personality of an eminent political leader but provide valuable source material for analysts and scholars of modern Indian politics and history.

v. 18 ISBN 9780195658552

Description

Govind Ballabh Pant was in the front rank of nationalist leaders who played a key role, first in India's struggle for freedom and subsequently in the politics and administration of independent India. He was a member of the highest policy-making echelons of the Indian National Congress, Deputy Leader of the Congress party in the Central Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister of U.P. and Home Minister in the Union Cabinet headed by Jawaharla Nehru. The eighteeth volume of the Selected Works of Govind Ballabh Pant covers the last twenty-six months of Pandit Pant's Union Home Ministership, from January 1959 till his death on 7 March 1961. During this period he had to deal with several crises in the country. The Kerala ministry - the first-ever Communist ministry in India - was dismissed, the Bombay state was bifurcated into Maharashtra and Gujarat, and in Assam a consensus was reached on the issue of official language following large scale riots on this issue in the state. And at the Centre, by favouring the use of English as an official language even after 1965, Pant allayed the fears of non-Hindi-speaking people, and by dealing firmly with the strike of Central Government employees be averted disruption of administration, especially of railways and postal and telegraph services. As one of the senior leaders of the Congress, he had an important role in formulating the party's foreign policy schemes of establishing village panchayats and introducing joint cooperative farming. Some letters written on these and other subjects to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and others, which chronologically pertain to earlier volumes, have been printed in this volume. The Selected Works of Govind Ballabh Pant is a series that will not only document and illuminate the career and personality of an eminent political leader but provide valuable source material for analysts and scholars of modern Indian politics and history.
