Place : Common Room, Annexe Building, Nehru Memorial Museum & Library (NMML), Teen Murti House, Teen Murti Marg, New Delhi
Venue Info : Events | About | Map | Nearest Metro Station - 'Race Course(Yellow Line)'
Event Description : The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library cordially invites you to a Seminar on ‘The Congress and the Revolutionaries: Political pressure and the 1929 Purna Swaraj Resolution’ by Dr. Kama Maclean, The University of New South Wales, Australia.
Abstract : This paper examines the ways in which the revolutionaries of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) intervened in Congress politics of 1929-1930 at an All India level, leveraging against their grassroots connections in UP, Delhi and the Punjab. While it has long been acknowledged that the revolutionaries complemented the activities of the Indian National Congress (for example in the work of Ravinder Kumar, Sumit Sarkar, D.A. Low, and in Sugata Bose and Ayesha Jalal’s Modern South Asia), the details of this dynamic have been unclear. As a result, it is frequently inferred that the extent of Congress-revolutionary interactions was Congress leaders’ often reluctant acknowledgement of violence on the political spectrum. However a closer analysis indicates the ways in which the revolutionaries of the HSRA influenced Congress machinations by closely interacting with individual Congress leaders, which have gone largely unremarked in the annals of Indian nationalism. This paper details this dynamic, with particular focus on one of the most formidable leaders of the Congress, Motilal Nehru, from 1928 until 1930, one of the most influential all-India leaders.
Speaker : Dr. Kama Maclean is Associate Professor of South Asian and World History at the University of New South Wales and editor of South Asia: Journal of South Asian Studies. She is the author of several articles on the history, politics and culture of North India, and of two books, Pilgrimage and Power: the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad (New York by Oxford University Press, 2008) and A Revolutionary History of Interwar India: Violence, Image, Voice and Text (London: Hurst & Co., forthcoming). She is currently completing an ARC-funded study of the triangular relationship between Australia, Britain and India in the early twentieth century.
