内容説明

Lala Lajpat Rai was one of the outstanding leaders of modern India, a contemporary of Dadabhai Naroji, Tilak, Gokhale and Gandhi. His public life spanned the last decade of the nineteenth century and the first three decades of the twentieth century. He practiced law at the Lahore Chief Court and built up a lucrative practice, but was drawn very early into public activities pertaining to religious, educational and social reforms and then into nationalist politics. Lajpat Rai was one of the foremost leaders of the Indian National Congress. His arrest and deportation without trial to Burma in 1907 created a great sensation in India. He spent the war years (1914-18) in the United States propagating the Indian case for self- government. He returned to India in 1920 and had the honour of presiding over the Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress which approved of Gandhis campaign for non-cooperation with the government. He was deputy leader of the Swaraj Party in the Legislative Assembly and played a prominent role in provincial as well as national politics in the 1920s. While leading a demonstration against the Simmon Commision at Lahore in 1928 he received injuries in an assault by the police which hastened his death. The first volume in this series covers the period upto 1900. While engaged in the legal practice at the Lahore Bar, Lajpat Rai was also intensely involved in the work of Arya Samaj, and in social and humanitarian activities, such as famine relief, organization of orphanages and promotion of education on modern lines. He made his first foray into national politics at the age of twenty-three. He wrote Open Letters to Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, the great Muslim educationist of Aligarh, charging him with going back on his views on Hindu-Muslim unity and Indian nationhood. At the Allahabad Congress session in 1888 he was called upon to support the resolution for constitutional reforms. He contributed articles and letters to the press, exposed corruption in the judiciary and discussed economic problems. He also authored a number of books, including the biographies of Mazzini and Garibaldi and Swami Dayanand. The Collected Works on Lala Lajpat Rai is a series that will not only document and illuminate the personality of an eminent Indian political leader but also provide valuable material for analysts and scholars of modern Indian history.

The second volume in this series covers the period from 1901 to 1906 which witnessed a great spurt in Lajpat Rais political activities. In the summer of 1905 he visited England as a delegate of the Indian National Congress along with Gokhale, when general elections were imminent in that country, and put forward the claims of nationalist India before the British electorate and political leaders. He also undertook, on the suggestion of Sir William Wedderburn, a month-long tour of America. On his return to India he attended the annual Congress session at Banaras in December 1905 and played an important part in the efforts to avert a clash between the Moderates and Extremists. Though engrossed in nationalist politics, Lajpat Rai continued during this period to work for the Arya Samaj and D.AV. College and to participate in the relief work when there was a famine or a natural disaster, such as an earthquake.

The third volume in the series covers the period from January 1907 to March 1909. during this period Lajpat Rai found himself in the centre of a political storm. In May 1907 he was arrested and deported to Mandalay in Burma by the Government of India by the recommendation of Sir Denzil Ibbetson, the Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjab, who suspected that Lajpat Rai was planning a mass uprising on the fiftieth anniversary of the Mutiny of 1857. As this book would show Lajpat Rai was released after six months when the Viceroy, Lord Minto, realised his mistake. Soon after his return to India, Lajpat Rais name was proposed by the extremist group for the presidentship of the Surat session of the Indian National Congress. But as an act of self-abnegation he declined the honour and instead made efforts to prevent a clash between the two Congress groups. The session had a disastrous end, leading to a split between the Moderates and the Extremists which lasted for nine years. Lajpat Rai undertook a seven-month tour of England in 1908-9 to put across the case for Indian self-government to the British press, parliament and people while the Reforms Bill was on the parliamentary anvil.

He practiced law at the Lahore Chief Court and built up a lucrative practice, but was drawn very early into public activities pertaining to religious, educational and social reforms and then into nationalist politics.

While leading a demonstration against the Simmon Commision at Lahore in 1928 he received injuries in an assault by the police which hastened his death. The fourth volume in the series of The Collected Works of Lala Lajpat Rai covers five years, from April 1909 to May 1914. They were lean years for the Indian National Congress. The moderate leaders had hoped that with the expulsion of the Extremists from the Congress at the Surat Congress in 1907, the unity and vitality of the party would be restored. But, as Lajpat Rai had warned, while the Extremists has been well-nigh crushed, their exclusion from the Congress weakened rather than strengthened the party. Lajpat Rai shared the disappointment of other Congress leaders with the Reforms Act of 1909 which had introduced separate electorates. He was seriously concerned at the widening gulf between Hindus and Muslims in the wake of the reforms. This is evident from the comprehensive and closely reasoned article he wrote in the Urdu journal Zamana, reproduced in this volume. Not only did the Reforms Act of 1909 fall short of the expectations of the Congress leaders, the attitude of the British bureaucracy in India towards political activities hardened; one of Lajpat Rais main theme in his lectures and articles during his visit to England in 1910 was the suppression of civil liberties in India. Even though politics were Lajpat Rais central preoccupation, he did not forget his commitment to social and educational reforms. He denounced untouchability and spoke and wrote extensively on education.

The fifth volume in the series of The Collected Works of Lala Lajpat Rai covers a period of twelve months. It opens in June 1914. Lajpat Rai had just arrived in London as a member of the delegation of the Indian National Congress to canvass support for an official bill in British Parliament proposing an element of election in the selection of the Indian members of the London-based Council of the Secretary of State for India. The bill was introduced in the House of Lords, put to vote, and rejected. The Congress delegation was deeply disappointed and returned to India except for Lajpat Rai who stayed on a few months. He was still in England when the First World War broke out. He decided to leave for United States where he stayed on for five years doing whatever he could to educate public opinion in that country on Indias struggle for self-government. Even though Lajpat Rai had crowded programme of lectures and tours during the year, he wrote three books. The first book was on the Arya Samaj. The second was entitled The Story of My Life. And the third was on the United States. The Story of My Life has been published in full in this volume and from the other two books extracts have been published.

The sixth volume in the series of The Collected Works of Lala Lajpat Rai covers the period from August 1915 to December 1916 when the First World War was on. Lajpat Rai had arrived in the United States three months after the war broke out. Little did he know that the war would last for four years and he would not be able to return to India until 1920. While in the U.S.A., Lajpat Rai exposed the seamy side of the British rule. Through lectures, articles in newspapers, books and pamphlets he tried to enlighten the American people on the political and economic condition of India. He spoke as an Indian nationalist. His sense of history, his knowledge of international affairs and his style of presenting the nationalist case with facts and figures instantly appealed to liberal thinkers in the U.S.A. and Britain. Lajpat Rai visited Japan in the second half of 1915 and wrote a book on it which he made a telling comparison between the relative costs of administration in India, Japan and the United States.

The seventh volume in the series of The Collected Works of Lala Lajpat Rai covers two years, from the beginning of 1917 to the end of 1918, when the world war was on, and Lajpat Rai remained in the United States, having arrived there in November 1914. The tar 1917 opened and closed in India with the magic slogan, Home Rule. Annie Besant founded the Home Rule League in September 1916; in April of the same year Bal Gangadhar Tilak set up Home Rule League in Poona. In 1917 Lajpat Rai established the India Home Rule League of America in New York to support the Home Rule movement back home in India and started a monthly journal, Young India. Stepping up his campaign for mobilising the support of the progressive opinion in the United States and Britain, Lajpat Rai wrote a pamphlet on Self Determination for India and a book on Englands Debt to India, a damning historical narrative of British fiscal policy in India. In a hard-hitting and closely reasoned Open Letter addressed to British Prime Minister Lloyd George, Lajpat Rai dwelt on the seamy side of British rule in India. The world, he wrote, cannot be safe for democracy unless India is self-governed.

This volume in the series of The Collected Works of Lala Lajpat Rai covers a period of nearly fourteen months from January 1919. The war was over in November 1918. Lajpat Rai had been in the United States for five years, but his self-imposed exile was to last another year while he waited for a passport from the State Department to return to India. Thus he observed the emergence of Gandhi on the Indian political scene from the United States. Though not full agreeing with Gandhi in all his ideas, Lajpat Rai was delighted by the Gandhis Satyagraha campaign against the Rowlatt Act. The campaign, however, had hardly lasted for two weeks when it was suspended by Gandhi because of mob violence which erupted in Bombay, Ahmedabad and other places on the news of his arrest. The subsequent events The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, the promulgation of the martial law and the brutal repression by the government stirred Lajpat Rai to his depths. In a series of letters to Gandhi, he expressed his whole-hearted admiration for his principles and methods of fighting injustice and oppression. Lajpat Rai landed at Bombay on 20 February 1920 and was accorded a warm welcome at a public meeting presided over by M.A. Jinnah. Among the eminent leaders, who were present and paid tributes to Lajpat Rais contribution to the cause of Indian nationalism, were Lokmanya Tilak and Annie Besant.

The ninth volume in the series opens in February 1920, when Lajpat Rai had just returned to India after spending nearly six years abroad, and covers the next ten months. A year earlier, while in America, he had been stirred by the news from India and expressed admiration for Gandhis strict adherence to his principles. However, at the Calcutta Special Congress over which he presided, Lajpat Rai remained equivocal on Gandhis resolution on non-cooperation with the government. He even publicly supported V.J. Patels dissent to Gandhis programme and cast doubts on the feasibility of his methods. But three months later at the Nagpur Congress, he, along with V.J. Patel and other leaders, decided to fall in line and strongly refuted the arguments of the opponents of Gandhi and called upon the country to carry out Gandhis programme. Lajpat Rai started an Urdu paper, Bande Mataram, and established the Tilak School of Politics to impart education for political work and train experts in politics and economics. He also presided over the first session of the All India Trade Union Congress and emphasised the need for organising the workers, making them class conscious and educating them in the ways and interests of commonwealth. He continued to take interest in other fields of creative activities, such as education and foreign affairs, which had a bearing on the nationalist struggle.

Lajpat Rai, arrested for taking par in the non-cooperation movement, was imprisoned in the Lahore Central Jail from 3 December 1921 to 16 August 1923 on 31 January 1922 he was released but re-arrested the same day. From the prison he sent a letter to his colleagues in the Congress Working Committee lamenting Gandhis decision to revoke civil disobedience after the Chauri Chaura tragedy. He also contributed articles to the press arguing for Council-entry and criticising the Moderates for their alliance with the bureaucracy. In prison he revised two of his books written in the 1890s and wrote a new one Samrat Ashoka (Emperor Ashoka). After being released from the prison Lajpat Rai went to Solan. While convalescing there he organised and directed the election campaign of the Swaraj Party, although he was not the member of the party, for the Punjab Legislative Council and secured significant victories of it. In June Lajpat Rai went to Switzerland and after a recovery of his health returned to India via Turkey in September 1924.

内容説明

Lala Lajpat Rai was one of the outstanding leaders of modern India, a contemporary of Dadabhai Naoroji, Tilak, Gokhale and Gandhi. His public life spanned the last decade of the nineteenth century and the first three decades of the twentieth century. He practised law at the Lahore Chief Court and built up a lucrative practice, but was drawn very early into public activities pertaining to religious, educational and social reforms and then into nationalist politics. Lajpat Rai was one of the foremost leaders of the Indian National Congress. His arrest and deportation without trial to Burma in 1907 created a great sensation in India. He spent the war years (1914-18) in the United States propagating the Indian case for self- government.

While leading a demonstration against the Simmon Commision at Lahore in 1928 he received injuries in an assault by the police which hastened his death. The eleventh volume in the series of The Collected Works of Lala Lajpat Rai covers the closing months of 1924 and the whole year of 1925. During this period, Lajpat Rai was disturbed by the growing rift between Hindus and Muslims. Gandhi was so much shocked by the communal riots in Sambhar, Amethi, Gulbarga and Kohat the riot in Kohat was particularly serious and the desecration of Hindu temples at these and other places that he imposed a purificatory penance of twenty-one days fast on himself. Within a week of the commencement of the fast a Unity Conference was held. But the harmony that followed the fast was not to last long. Lajpat Rai wrote a series of 13 articles on the Hindu-Muslim problem in the Tribune the first article was written on board the ship while returning from England. His first reaction to Gandhis fast was one of disapproval. But later, on reaching Delhi, he felt that the impulse which forced Gandhi to take the vow could not perhaps be satisfied otherwise. I am firmly convinced, Lajpat Rai wrote, that we cannot create a united India and cannot win Swaraj in any shape, unless the religious canker is removed. Appealing to Hindus and Muslims to do away with threats and distrust, he wrote: Let us live and die for each other, so that India may live and prosper as a nation. India is neither Hindu nor Muslim. It is not even both. It is one. It is India.

While leading a demonstration against the Simmon Commision at Lahore in 1928 he received injuries in an assault by the police which hastened his death. The twelfth volume covering the year 1926 deals with the growing rift between Lajpat Rai and Swaraj Party leader Motilal Nehru. The Swaraj Partys programme of walk-outs from the Central Assembly earned banners headlines in the nationalist press. Lajpat Rai disapproved the policy of continuous walk-outs, but he valued the work in the legislature rather than wholesale obstruction. Lajpat Rai attended very few sittings of the Assembly but made a notable contribution to its debate on such matters as release of political prisoners, the problem of unemployment, and extension of constitutional reforms to N.W.F.P. In the summer of 1926 Lajpat Rai attended, as a representative of the Indian labour class, the International Labour Conference in Geneva. His mission, he said, was to bring the Indian labour in touch with the world labour movement and promote its interests. Back to London, Lajpat Rai attended the World Migration Congress, where he said: Asia wants nothing but justice and fair play. Lajpat Rai, on return from Europe in the middle of August, resigned from the Swaraj Party. He organised the independent Congress Party in Collaboration with Madan Mohan Malaviya to fight the coming elections. It won an astounding success against the Swaraj Party in U.P. and Punjab. Lajpat Rai himself was elected to the Legislative Assembly from two constituencies.

内容説明

Lala Lajpat Rai was one of the outstanding leaders of modern India, a contemporary of Dadabhai Naroji, Tilak, Gokhale and Gandhi. His public life spanned the last decade of the nineteenth century and the first three decades of the twentieth century. He practised law at the Lahore Chief Court and built up a lucrative practice, but was drawn very early into public activities pertaining to religious, educational and social reforms and then into nationalist politics. Lajpat Rai was one of the foremost leaders of the Indian National Congress. His arrest and deportation without trial to Burma in 1907 created a great sensation in India. He spent the war years (1914-18) in the United States propagating the Indian case for self- government. He returned to India in 1920 and had the honour of presiding over the Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress which approved of Gandhis campaign for non-cooperation with the government. He was deputy leader of the Swaraj Party in the Legislative Assembly and played a prominent role in provincial as well as national politics in the 1920s. While leading a demonstration against the Simmon Commision at Lahore in 1928 he received injuries in an assault by the police which hastened his death. The thirteenth volume covers the year 1927. Lajpat Rai continued to disapprove non-cooperation and boycott in the Assembly as followed by the Congress. He valued the work in the legislature whatever it was worth rather than total obstruction. He said non-cooperation was a good principle but not good in action. In the Assembly, Lajpat Rai participated in debates and extended his support to the popular issues and collaborated with the Congress party. Motilal Nehru and Ljpat Rai re-established cordial relations to work for the national cause. In May 1927 Lapat Rai left for Europe for rest and recuperation. He was in London, when Katherine Mayos book Mother India appeared. It constituted an indiscriminate vilification of Indian civilization and culture. On return to India, he made it his first duty to give a befitting reply to Miss Mayo and by Jan. 1928 his book Unhappy India was in the press. The announcement of 8 November 1927 by the British Government to appoint the Simon Commission which had all white members to enquire into Indian constitutional reforms, caused indignation in India. Lajpat Rai questioned the right of the British Parliament to frame a constitution for India. As opposed to it, he felt that Indians should take up the task of drafting their own constitution. However, the Congress at Madras session (December 1927) decided to convene an All Parties Conference for the purpose of making a constitution for India.

While leading a demonstration against the Simmon Commision at Lahore in 1928 he received injuries in an assault by the police which hastened his death. The fourteenth volume in the series is mainly the reprint of Lajpat Rais last major work Unhappy India. In 1927 when Lajpat Rai was in London, Miss Katherine Mayos muck-raking Mother India appeared. The book constituted a wholesale and indiscriminate vilificatrion of Indian civilization and character by a foreign journalist. Aptly called a drain inspectors report by Gandhiji, Mother India created quite a stir in India as well as in Britain. Lajpat Rai was convinced that the publication was a part of the unscrupulous anti-Indian propaganda organised and financed by those who were opposed to Indias claim for self-government. He would not allow to go unchallenged the calumnies heaped by Miss Mayo on the Indian people. On his return to India he made it his first duty to write a fitting reply to Mother India and by January 1928 his Unhappy India was in the press. In the preface of Unhappy India Lajpat Rai wrote, The book has been prepared and published in great hurry. But there is one satisfaction that nothing is stated herein which I do not believe to be true

Lala Lajpat Rai was one of the outstanding leaders of modern India, a contemporary of Dadabhai Naroji, Tilak, Gokhale and Gandhi. His public life spanned the last decade of the nineteenth century and the first three decades of the twentieth century. He practised law at the Lahore Chief Court and built up a lucrative practice, but was drawn very early into public activities pertaining to religious, educational and social reforms and then into national politics. Lajpat Rai was one of the foremost leaders of the Indian National Congress. His arrest and deportation without trial to Burma in 1907 created a great sensation in India. He spent the war years (1914-18) in the United States propagating the Indian case for self government. He returned to India in 1920 and had the honour of presiding over the Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress which approved of Gandhis campaign for non-cooperation with the government. He was deputy leader of the Swaraj Party in the Legislative Assembly and played a prominent role in provincial as well as national politics in the 1920s. While leading a demonstration against the Simmon Commision at Lahore in 1928 he received injuries in an assault by the police which hastened his death. The fifteenth volume covers the year 1928. During this period Lajpat Rai was mainly occupied in mobilizing the public opinion in favour of the Nehru Report and the movement for boycott of Simon Commission. For Lajpat Rai the appointment of Simon Commission was a negation of Indias right to have any voice in the determining of its future constitution. His mind was made up to boycott it. He led a vigorous campaign against the Commission both in press and from platform. The movement was a great success. Lajpat Rai welcomed the Nehru Report and called it A monumental document worthy of the best traditions of Indian public life. Its solutions of the communal; questions may not be acceptable to the die-hards but they are backed by reason and good sense. He warned those who will oppose it will practically oppose Swaraj and may be justly described as the enemies of India. He travelled across the country to popularize its recommendations. Lajpat Rai while leading the demonstration against the Simon Commission on 30 October at Lahore was brutally beaten by police by lathis. He did not survive the assault long. He died on the morning of 17 November at Lahore and thus ended a long career of distinguished public service. Jawaharlal Nehru wrote in his Autobiography: Lalaji felt angry and bitter, not so much at the personal humiliation, as the national humiliation involved in the assault on him.
