Terrorism has emerged as a potent instrument to achieve certain objectives; it is not an end in itself. This element gained more prominence as, in the aftermath of 11th September 2001, the focus of the international community shifted to the South and Southwest Asian region due to increasing impact of religious radicalism and expanding nexus of terrorist activities in the regional context. The world has witnessed the gradual rise of disruptive graph of terrorism on the one hand and the dis-arrayed efforts of caging the genie of trans-national terror on the other hand, involving a lot of uncertainty, insecurity and trans-nationalization of violence in the age of globalization. Though the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the most wanted person in trans-national terrorism, on May 2, 2011 on Pakistani soil has certainly caused demoralization in the Al Qaeda circles across the world, the generic and reactionary trends in Jihadi terror, right-wing terror in Asia, Europe and elsewhere still remain indomitable challenge for the comity of nations. The prime focus of this paper is to analyze the scenario in the post-9/11 period, to judge the limitations of the global war on terror (GWOT) and prospective preventive and reactive measures and, finally, to suggest options for foreseeable future. The terrorist catastrophe of 9/11 was an exceptional act of violence perpetrated against the sole Super Power of the world-the United States of America, causing worldwide denouncement of the ‘act’ and its perpetrators’ and prompting initiation of a global war against terror. As realised, the genie of terrorism in the post-9/11 period has already despised national frontiers and acquired international dimensions. It has given way to a world-wide, unprecedented acceleration of indiscriminate and/or selective employment of violence or threat * Dr. Rajendra Prasad is senior-most Professor in the Department of Defence and Strategic Studies and Dean, Faculty of Science, D.D.U.Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur (U.P.), India. He was awarded Ph.D.Degree by Gorakhpur University for his seminal work on India’s Civil Defence in the Nuclear Age (1981). As a distinguished teacher and researcher, Prof. Prasad is accredited with the teaching and research experience of over thirty four years. He has contributed extensively on contemporary problems of war and peace; science, technology and national security; arms control and disarmament; South, Southwest, Southeast Asian security and international strategic affairs. Dr. Prasad has traveled widely to many countries such as Fiji Islands (1986), Australia (1986), Thailand (1986), USA (1996, 1999), UK (2005), Austria (2007) and Italy (2009) for mutuality of view and research. He is recipient of Second Prize of the Ministry of Defence, Government of India in 1990 for his seminal writing Bhartiya Itihaas ki Rooprekha. 2 x to use violence, including murder, assassination, sabotage and subversion, the destruction of public records and property, hijacking of planes, buses and ships, holding passengers as hostages, the capture of holy places, kidnapping government officials, diplomats and business executives, remote-controlled blasts against military personnel and convoys, suicide bombings and killings, etc., aimed at fulfilling a variety of political and strategic ends in different parts of the world in general and South Asia in particular . We listen to and read of new events of terrorism almost daily. This exceptional and challenging rise of terrorist violence without borders has created dreaded ebbs and flows in the domain, range and scope of international relations. On the question of exceptionalism, the New York Times noted in its editorial : If the attack against the World Trade Center proves anything it is that our offices, factories, transportation and communication networks and infrastructures are relatively vulnerable to skilled terrorists .......Among the rewards for our attempts to provide the leadership needed in a fragmented, crisis-prone world will be as yet unimagined terrorists and other socio-paths determined to settle scores with us.1 The explosion toppled more than the twin towers of World Trade Centre: it disrupted the illusion that Americans were protected, somehow, to the plague of terrorism that beleaguered so many countries. The 9/11 terrorism outpaced the global public perception of the real- as just about every public official and media authority has been opposed to concede, the US preamptive ability of the intelligence community, law enforcement, airport security, military, and other governmental agencies. Shock and dismay created an immediate and nearly similar reaction of the event that was confined in official discourse to condemnation, retribution, and counter- terrorism. But there is a responsibility to interpret 9/11 in a proper context that reached beyond the immediacy of the US tragedy and official loss of power, prestige and glory in the world arena. What then was the impact of terrorism in South Asia in general and India in particular? This question gained more prominence as in the aftermath of 11th September 2001, the focus of the international community shifted to this region due to increasing impact of religious radicalism and expanding nexus of terrorist activities in the regional context. Historically, South Asia is viewed as a region of deep-rooted inimical postures and internal discrepancies wrapped with deleterious reasons, such as territorial disputes, economic disparities, political instabilities, sectarian and communal violence, ethno-religious conflicts of varying potentialities, cross-border terrorism, illegal drug trafficking through Golden Crescent and Golden Triangle, money laundering , organized crime, increasing Sec uritising Peop le in the Post-9/ 11 Terrorist Environm ent : Issues,Trend s ... x3 militarization and proliferation of small arms in the South Asian societies, etc. The South Asia, therefore, remains politically fragile with the inherent possibilities to threaten regional peace and stability with cross–border ramifications. According to a futuristic study done by a Mumbai-based think tank, Strategic Foresight Group (SRG), South Asia represents today one of the most militarized societies in the world, Sri Lanka being at the top2. For example, recurring communal problems and ethno-religious resurgence in India, particularly coupled with the cross–border terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, Maoist insurgency in Nepal, Tamil imbroglio in Sri Lanka, a series of bomb explosions in Bangladesh, each with long-term security implications for the region, have been brought into the focus of several studies in recent times. The massive presence of the US and the allied forces in Afghanistan – once upon a time the safe heaven of the Talibans in the geographical proximity of the South Asian region – is also a fact to be admitted with in so far as the long-term implications of the offensive against international terrorism are concerned. Perhaps the most significant fact is that the governments in South Asia have not shown ‘South Asian Consciousness’ in resorting to effective preventive and reactive measures to suppress terrorism in their respective countries, either individually or collectively. At present, India Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal continue to remain bogged down in terrorism and that too at an alarming rate. The prime focus of this paper is to analyze the scenario in the post-9/11 period, to judge the limitations of the global war against terror and prospective preventive and reactive measures and, finally, to suggest options for foreseeable future. The Expanding Arena of the Threat Post-9/11 terrorism involves the threat of violence, individual acts of sporadic violence or a protracted campaign of violence waged necessarily to impose the realm of fear and alarm. It is violence for shock effects not only and sometimes not at all, against the actual victims but the innocent third parties of any country, irrespective of nationality, religion, creed, ethnicity, etc. Historical evidences that followed the post-9/11 terror acts in different parts of the world bear the testimony that terrorism can be resorted to by the dedicated bands of ideological groups, separatist groups, ethno-religious groups, groups instilling fear in quasi-colonial environment, groups in exiles from countries opposing the regime in their homeland, state-sponsored terrorists, norco-terrorists and the recently added ecoterrorists and the like. These typologies of terrorists are based on terrorist motivations and pose numerous structural and functional problems because of the limitations prevailing between a particular terroristic motivation and intended modus operandi. It becomes therefore necessary to have a clear-cut distinction between various terrorist groups on the basis of their modus operandi. For instance, terrorists who operate against their own countrymen and terrorists 4 x who operate against foreign nationals. The former are likely to be more selective for their targets, while the latter are more inclined towards indiscriminate threat or its use. There can be another speculative point which might be significant in relation to the terrorists based abroad and terrorists based in their own country; those based abroad are more likely to depend upon support from patron states or supportive sub-culture from outside. In the fragile post -9/11 scenario, some governments are prone to proclaim as terrorism all shades of violent acts committed by their political opponents, while the anti-government extremists promptly make an outcry to have been the victims of government terror. What is termed as terrorism thus seems to be based on a moral judgement. If one party can openly mark the symbol terrorist for its opponent, then it has indirectly aroused others to resort to its moral standpoint. Terrorism is what the bad guys do.3 The long-drawn difference of opinion persists regarding the appropriate definition of ‘terrorism’. As Richard E. Rubenstein points out: “To call an act of political violence terrorist is not merely to describe it but to judge it ......... Descriptively ‘terrorism’ suggests violent action by individuals or small groups. Judgementally, it implies illegitimacy……… To the defenders of a particular regime or social order, any politically motivated disobedience (even mass resistance) smacks of terrorism ………… And on the other hand, a regime in power is considered terrorist by those who deny its legitimacy even if they are but a handful and their opponents legions. Nobody wants to be called a terrorist; terrorism is what the other side is up to.4 In democratic societies like India, the USA and others, terrorists get several opportunities to identify themselves with some aggrieved group(s) of people. Furthermore, the openness of a democratic society extends more opportunities for the indulgence of external groups, arms and financial and psychological support of patron states than in a non-democratic society. In each case, a democratic country has to be more cautious towards public opinion and human rights; point of caution lies for taking stem steps at an early stage of the progression of terrorism; and, in curbing the challenge of terrorism, normal legal and law enforcement agencies and systems are expected to be used. 9/11 gave exceptional opportunity to the entire world for global cooperation and fresh approach to identify the “new face of terrorism.5 What the sensitive and peace-loving people have learnt about the threat of post-9/11 terrorism, first of all, is that it is not purposeless violence. Terrorism has emerged as a potent instrument to achieve certain objectives; it is not an end in itself. It is not just like nature’s act of disastrous earthquake or tsunami before which we are helpless. Terrorists and those who support them have specific goals; terrorist violence is the means of attaining these goals. The past records and ever-increasing data on the relatively newer means, methods and goals of Sec uritising Peop le in the Post-9/ 11 Terrorist Environm ent : Issues,Trend s ... x5 terrorist violence have found harsh expressions in almost every part of the globe, especially South Asia, South-east Asia, Central Asia, Middle-East, Europe, Oceania, etc. It is indicative of the fact that the prevention of terrorism would not be feasible without international cooperation in different forms and ways. Goals of Terrorism in a Fragile Global Scenario In the post-9/11 period, terrorism may be the most potent instrument of some governments, as well as tactics of revolutionary and other anti-government groups, aimed at attaining broader strategic and specific tactical goals. Based on the historical evidences and the new face of terrorism in a changing world scenario, some can be identified as follows : 1. Individual acts of terrorist scourge are aimed at carving out definite concessions, such as the release of prisoners, the payment of ransom or the flash of a terrorist message under the fear of killing. Terrorists very often strive hard to create dramatic situation thereby intimidating a government or regime to fulfil their specific demands immediately. 2. Terrorism may be aimed at inducing relatively wider publicity advantage in the age of Information Revolution.6 By expanding the rein of terror, a terrorist organization or its outfits can draw public attention towards its ultimate goal and put itself as a group that must be recognized for the stated or projected ends. The propaganda attained by terrific acts of violence and fearful situation induce people and media to make a mountain out of a molehill for uplifting the stature of various terrorist groups and primacy of their cause. Dramatic and sometimes symbolic acts of violence may provide enough publicity to terrorist groups operating in a particular milieu. In a way, it facilitates demonstrative leverage to the perpetrators of terror to use violence and unleash warning of further spate of violence. The phenomenal developments in the field of information and communication technologies, electronic media and international press are playing vital roles in the propagation of this kind of terror-induced publicity, intra- as well as internet facilities to instill the act of fear. The 9/11 terror events clearly taught the lesson that the strength of various terrorist organizations and their outfits for the use of these technologies had grown exponentially for the purposes of training, command and control, international money transactions and coordination of activities at various levels. 3. Terrorism may be resorted to by some groups to initiate collapse of the existing social, economic and political structure and to attenuate demoralization of the society, especially under the shadow of the current trends of globalization. This may be a typical and attractive goal for the revolutionary, religious, separatist or anarchistic terrorists in the relatively 6 x destabilized societies and soft nation-states. Many revolutionary terrorist groups initiate terroristic violence on the ground that it is a paramount process to mobilizing the masses towards revolution. Especially, the developing societies are more prone to such challenges due to the “rising but frustrated expectations of people”7. Particularly in the age of globalization, the paradigm shift from traditional to non-traditional approaches to security in general and protection and empowerment of the people in particular have made the whole situation quite complex and uncertain. In such a situation, the traditional barriers of tradition, culture, economy, technology have been dismantled, causing more conflicting images of human well-being between the developing and the developed societies. Notably, starting from 9/11 to the launching of campaign of global war against terrorist axis of Taliban, Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda and their associates in Afghanistan, South Asia and elsewhere, from the US liquidation of Saddam-led Iraq during Gulf war -II to the Bali blasts in Indonesia to London blasts in July 2005, from Pakistan-sponsored cross-border terrorism in Jammu & Kashmir to attack on Indian Parliament to more brutal acts of planting explosives in five separate trains and two stations in Mumbai- the economic Capital of India , killing 181 and injuring over 700 innocent passengers on 11th July 2006(popularly known as 7/11 in media circles)8 and the recent 2011 serial blasts in Mumbai and from many more acts of terrorism in other regions to the growing voices of international cooperation and related developments, etc., the world has witnessed the gradual rise of disruptive graph of terrorism on the one hand and the dis-arrayed efforts of caging the genie of transnational terror on the other hand, involving a lot of uncertainty, insecurity and trans-nationalization of violence in the age of globalization.9 Globalization holds out great promise if it is managed properly, for both rich and the poor. But it will only work if the winners share with losers.10 4. Terrorism may be aimed at deliberately unleashing repression and revenge which may eventually lead to the bitter criticism and a sudden and complete downfall of an unpopular government. Such activities may be directed against the security personnel and law enforcement agencies of the government; at the same time, deliberately perpetrated atrocious acts, the kidnapping of foreign diplomats or business executives, or sporadic violence against civilians can also be launched, aimed at blemishing government and frustrating it to react outrageously. The government may thus be compelled by the terrorists to self-collapse or ouster from power. 5. Terrorism can be a potent instrument to enforce cooperation and a gesture of admiration and reverence. These are the usual phenomena of state or institutional terrorism, but terrorists themselves may also use institutional violence against the individuals of their own group to ensure utter dedication Sec uritising Peop le in the Post-9/ 11 Terrorist Environm ent : Issues,Trend s ... x7 to their goal. State-sponsored terrorism is also directed against another state. In the international comity of nations, there are some nations which have set up specialized agencies to carry out terroristic acts against other states. States that sponsor terrorism are employing it as an instrument of conflict to attain specific strategic goals in the situations they can not use conventional means and methods. Another dangerous trend in state-sponsored terrorism has been found due to the coercive diplomacy of powerful industrial nations particularly when they get involved in such blatant coercive practices of diplomacy to intimidate less powerful developing nations. One of the resultant consequences has been the state-sponsored inter- or trans-national terrorism by relatively weaker nations against the powerful ones as a retaliatory action.11 But after 9/11 and especially with the initiation of global war against terror, this trend has assumed enormous reverberations in different regions. South Asia has experienced several dramatic situations, particularly due to the changing behaviour of Pakistan towards Taliban and her cooperation with the Bush and Obama Administrations in its fight against terrorism, both regionally and globally12. Historically, Pakistan was caught into cross-fire due to her proxy war and supportive culture of terrorist violence against India. Above all, we should understand the critical position of Pakistan in supporting state-sponsored terrorism without any exaggeration or distortion: Pakistani leaders officially denounce the use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy, yet there is a wide-ranging gap between their utterances and practices. In the post-9/11 period, at least in principle, the long denial by Pakistan of not making India a victim of crossborder terror is a self-explanatory case in tormenting the mutuality of their relationships in the South Asian region. In the prevailing scenario, the Pakistansupported ideological campaign of “one man’s terrorist as another’s freedom fighter” can not be given any acceptability in J& K or elsewhere. One who does not hesitate in employing terrorist tactics is to be treated as terrorist. Hence, for operational criteria in the post- 9/11 situations, “one man’s terrorist is every man’s terrorist” .This kind of perceptive approach might be more practicable in identifying the new face of terrorism. Furthermore, violent and fanatic individuals are not rare in various religiously and politically volatile and unstable societies .Terrorism, whether old or new, would long since passed away had it not been for significant support from outside.13 Post-9/11 developments and growing terrorist violence have exacerbated these trends in exceptional ways. 6. The 9/11 catastrophic event evidenced the growing strength of many skilled terrorist individuals, their organizations and global networks to execute the acts of punishment for causing death, destruction and despise14. Terrorists often seek to stress upon the point that the victimized persons or objects are somehow guilty or they are the despised symbols of economic, political or 8 x social system opposed by the terrorists and their supporters. In many of the terrorist campaigns, persons have been killed and buildings or objects have been severely damaged because they represented symbols of the opposed government or system. In case of 9/11, terrorist hijackers transformed three commercial jetliners into highly explosive kinetic munitions, toppled the twin towers of the World Trade Center, substantially damaged the Pentagon, killed more than three thousand people, and triggered a state of emergency and tarnished the US Super Power image to a larger extent. Like-wise, the terrorist attack on Indian Parliament in Dec 2001 and the 26/11 in Mumbai in 2008, series of terror blasts in Pak after the killing of Osama Bin Laden on May 2, 2011, etc have all challenged the authority of respective governments in power. Thus in a nutshell, while the most hitting impact of terrorism is fear, it may be used to achieve a variety of goals: specific concessions, dramatic publicity for terrorists and their cause, disruption of existing social order, provocation of repression, enforcement of compliance and cooperation or punishment of those despised by the terrorists. A single event may be aimed at obtaining several of these goals simultaneously. India’s Stakes India faces the challenges of two kind of terrorism-the domestic edifice by some sections of our own people, the foreign state-sponsored and externally aided terror acts. The domestic terrorism itself has different objectives-political and religious as in the case of the terrorist groups in Jammu & Kashmir, purely religious as in the case of the jihadi terrorist groups perpetrating terror outside J&K, ethnic as in the case of Assam and ideological and economic as in the case of the Maoist or Naxalite elements operating in the tribal areas of India. Over the years, as claimed by India’s incumbent UPA government and intelligence agencies, we have also witnessed terror activities perpetrated in terms of right-wing extremist violence in some parts of India. Foreign state-sponsored terrorism is mainly the terror act of the jihadi organizations such as the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LET), the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HUM), the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI) and the Jaish-eMohammad (JEM) operating from Pakistani territory and the HUJI perpetrating their activities from the bases in Bangladesh. Their members are Pakistani or Bangladeshi nationals or other foreign Muslims and their activities on the Indian soil are sponsored by the intelligence agencies in order to serve their own goals, especially for purpose of creating a polarization between the Muslim and Hindu forces in India. Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has the additional motive of causing disruption and disorder in J&K through terrorism. Sec uritising Peop le in the Post-9/ 11 Terrorist Environm ent : Issues,Trend s ... x9 Foreign state-aided terrorism gets space due to indigenous terrorist groups receiving assistance in the form of training, financial assistance and arms and ammunition from the terrorist organizations and the intelligence services of Pakistan and Bangladesh. Examples would be the Khalistani terrorists who used to be active in Punjab and Delhi till 1995, the Kashmiri terrorist groups, the Students’ Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and the so-called Indian Mujahideen (IM) and the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA). Foreign-aided terrorist groups are creating instability in India and keeping the Indian security forces preoccupied with internal security problems. In conformity with Acharya Kautilya’s assertion, we must admit that “the (said) internal challenges are just like lurking hoods of snakes and they must be crippled or brought into full control”. Global Dimensions At present, terrorism has expanded its tentacles as a global phenomenon and recurring mode of political violence. The terms ‘international terrorism’ and ‘terrorist groups’ are used frequently as convenient ensemble of terms in which are included all sorts of terrorist violence with grave international intricacies or acts of violence which are beyond the internationally followed diplomatic norms and rules of war and peace. It may encompass a variety of acts which have been particularly outlawed by international agreements, treaties and conventions. International terrorism in this sense has emerged as a new kind of conflict against the existing system w aged outside the system 15. Therefore, the rules, norms and procedures of the system do not find any legitimate domain for their practicability. For instance, terrorists recognize for fewer neutrals and innocent civilians. They may hit a person as their target simply on the basis of nationality, ethnicity or religion or a person can become a victim by mere chance by watching a film in the cinema hall when a terrorist bomb bursts or by passing through a railway, bus or airport waiting-room when passengers are gunned down indiscriminately or when suicide bombings and detonation of remote-controlled bombs cause enormous death, fear and alarm. The fear and alarm produced by even a low level of violence may be much demoralizing. It can compel governments to divert enormous resources to meet the challenge of terrorism. Some ‘soft’ governments may be compelled to think for the release of arrested or jailed terrorists if keeping them behind the bars is likely to make such governments easy targets.16 While terrorists disrupt the fundamental tenets and norms of international order and peace, they have deep yearnings to seek international sympathy and pressure to attain their stated or projected ends. Paradoxically, some terrorist organizations and their outfits have already been able to gain substantial concessions from vulnerable governments. 10 x The campaigns of terrorism or individual acts of terrorism perpetrated against foreign diplomats, diplomatic facilities, or business executives can undoubtedly embarrass and defame several governments, worsen their relations with many other governments, weaken their resolve and contribute to the gradual erosion of authority. If pre-occupied with the problems of widespread unemployment, foreign debt burden, rampant inflation, corruption, deep-rooted religio-ethnic tensions, or political unrest, etc., such governments would be compelled to step down or extend more/additional authority to the military. In some cases, coupled with other reasons, this situation may also allure the military take-over. No governments have fallen solely due to the acts perpetrated by domestic or foreign terrorists. Terrorism has the compelling force to escalate conventional conflicts, stretching them far beyond the territory/region involved. In certain regions, terrorism has complicated the long standing disputes and made their solution extremely difficult. This is, for instance, discernible in the Middle-East, where the fate of the ‘peace process’ remains uncertain due to the terrorist acts of Hamas and underlying political instability. Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan is another intractable problem, which is entrapped in the maw of terror.17 Alarmingly, current trends of terrorism have germinated the seeds of newer problems for the protection of individuals, once they are outside their national confines. It has also superimposed a variety of questions about the national responsibility. When terrorists from one nation board a jet plane on another nation’s soil and attack a person or object in a third nation, what basic responsibility does every nation bear in preventing the activities of terrorists against the foreign nationals? International terrorism also poses a specific question before all such countries in which successive and deliberate terrorist attacks are very likely to inflict tremendous damage on the diplomatic facilities and structures. While most governments hope that the responsibility falls squarely upon the host government to protect diplomats and the diplomatic facilities, it remains still very uncertain as to what extent the host government will be accountable in the cases of nationals of another nation who may just be passing through or in transit at one of its airports. International terrorism may create serious problems for seeking the priority between the settlement of political disputes and the creation of objective conditions for the feasibility and practicability of informal understandings and formally negotiated and institutionalized agreements on arms control. Trans-national or international terrorism may shake the roots of confidence building measures (CBMs) for arms control in any region of the world, particularly in the South Asia18. At present, terrorist teeth for inflicting damage, destruction and shock are more sharpened, and the large scale proliferation and international flow of Sec uritising Peop le in the Post-9/ 11 Terrorist Environm ent : Issues,Trend s ... x11 increasingly sophisticated and highly powerful miniaturized weapons will remarkably strengthen their position. The miniaturization, the increased potency and large scale availability of weapons have added new dimensions to terrorists’ armed potential. Rapid scientific and technical advances are creating an ever increasing array of deadly agents of chemical and biological scourge- a phenomenon with rising implications. It is simply a point of time when terrorists would opt for these deadly weapons in their use.19 The enormous difficulties in defending against terrorist attacks with chemical and biological warfare agents waged without warning against military and civilian targets need not be elaborated here. Known as ‘atomic bombs of the poor’, they can create catastrophe. The vulnerability of nations across the full spectrum of these threats calls necessarily for those confidence-building measures which have far been ignored or neglected. This situation is closely intertwined with the proliferation and diffusion of conventional arms, especially the efforts of terrorists to procure small arms and light weapons in South Asia and elsewhere through illegal channels.20 At the same time the international politico-strategic milieu, which facilitated the possession, perfection and development of nuclear weapon systems and the formulation of nuclear war doctrines, might be faced with serious challenges due to the imminent danger of nuclear terrorism in the foreseeable future. As terrorists become more skilled, sophisticated and more technology-reliant, there are indications that the nuclear aspect of terrorism is a real possibility21. There are authentic reports that, in the past, nuclear fissile materials have been diverted from the plants of the “nuclear haves”. Attempts of stealing weapon-grade fissile materials and nuclear components have also been reported by the world media and other reliable sources. The stolen nuclear materials can be used into rudimentary nuclear explosive devices22. In addition, toxic nuclear materials can be used as radiological warfare agents or ‘dirty bombs’ by specialized terrorist gangs. Presumably, a canister of radioactive waste product could inflict heavy loss in a densely populated locality and also could provide substantial opportunities to terrorists to blackmail their target nation. In such circumstances, the questions of safety, security and arms control intertwined with the nuclear arms as well as peaceful nuclear uses would appear to be extremely clumsy and absolutely critical. Particularly, given the existing animosity between India and Pakistan and uncertain and fragile nature of regional politics, the situation can be extremely grim in the nuclearized South Asia. 23 Over and above, the wide-ranging repercussion of post-9/11 terror may reach far beyond anything yet imagined or seen in political, strategic or military terms. The factors that have exacerbated the scourge of terrorist acts could, in the foreseeable future, introduce seminal changes in the nature of regional and global conflict. Terrorism though rejected as a legitimate mechanism of conflict by most 12 x traditional military establishments in the post-9/11 period and even earlier, could assume the dimensions of surrogate warfare. Once the deadly means of warfare possessed by the conventional forces in the conflict–ridden areas are readily available to international terrorist groups and their outfits with the intention to instill fear and shock in the hearts and the minds of people, international terrorism would truly emerge as “the conflict of hearts and minds”24 In such circumstances, the nature of war, the ideas of security, war potential and military power presumed by respective governments may also undergo unprecedented transformations, adjustments and re-adjustments. Factors Operating in a Terroristic Milieu No simplistic generalizations can be prescribed with regard to operating factors in a terrorist milieu. Terrorism in different forms surfaces in many countries at different times as a consequence of idiosyncratic inter--linkages of various factors. Various factors which contribute to a terrorist milieu may be religious, economic, historical, cultural, ethnic, technological, geographical, demographic, psychological, political, and ideological, etc. Very often the accelerated rate of change, the destabilization of value system and lack of capacity to govern may predispose a society to terrorism25. Notably in such cases, the role of media remains very critical in operationalising critical elements in the terrorist milieu. In many countries, the irrational publicity and mismanagement of information and communication technologies, electronic media and press have made the over-all situation more prone to propagandise the terrorist cause. In addition to providing wide-spread publicity for terrorist attacks on persons and facilities, the media have contributed wittingly or accidentally to the terrorist designs in several ways, such as giving information about the deployment of police and security personnel and denouncing harsh government actions in dealing with the terrorists, particularly during their detentions, trials and punishment. In democratic countries, such situations are repeatedly exploited by terrorist organizations and their supporters to the best of their advantages. India is now faced with such a challenging situation in the post-9/11 period, in which the case of Parliament attack convict Mohammed Afzal Guru, who has been sentenced to death, has been publicized out of proportion in certain media circles. However, for terrorist groups, even bad publicity is preferably more fruitful than no publicity. Recent developments in the information and communication technologies and sophistication in news broadcasting-radio, television, communication satellites-are undoubtedly a boon to publicity-seeking terrorists. The modern industrialization processes require the introduction of extremely fragile infrastructures, which are easy to disrupt and the media can make sure Sec uritising Peop le in the Post-9/ 11 Terrorist Environm ent : Issues,Trend s ... x13 that such disruptions generate maximum fear and alarm in the hearts and minds of the target group and the innocent by-standers. Furthermore, it is a constant trend of advancing science and technology to put more and more power available at the disposal of smaller and smaller terrorist units or groups. The accretion in international terrorism can be accredited, among other things, to technological progress which have provided terrorists with new capabilities. Modern means of transportation, especially planes and ships, facilitate them unprecedented levels of mobility, flexibility and maneuverability to strike anywhere on the target. Modern technical advances in munitions have made weapons less expensive, more easily portable and more lethal. Emerging chemical-biological technologies and new weapons, including several explosives, toxins and sophisticated devices are increasing terrorists’ ability for catastrophic violence.26 The support of terrorism by patron states and existence of sympathizers or a supportive subculture are also crucial factors in the terroristic milieu. The patron states have soft corner for terrorist groups fighting on the foreign soil. They offer training, munitions, money, documents, intelligence support, and logistical facilities to terrorist groups. In addition, patron states may be a force of psychological support and political legitimacy for terrorist groups. In some cases, patron states may wish to covertly assist sub-national groups and delegate training and support activities to ‘satellite’ countries or to other terrorist groups. The presence of a sympathetic constituency makes the milieu more favorable to terrorism and this subculture provides useful sub-ways to the recruiting of future terrorists. While the post-9/11 edifice of ideology may act as the prime motivational element for some terrorist groups, it may sometimes prove detrimental to the cause of nationalist or secessionist groups, in that it curtails their sympathetic appeal to the civilian population in the target country. Evidently, such cases can be relatively verifiable in politically more conscious regions, such as Europe, but it may not necessarily be viable in many cases of politically less conscious regions of the world. It may also be pointed out, however, that to divert renewed public attention to their group and cause, terrorists may employ new designs and tactics in a manner that does not lead to escalation. From the terrorists’ stand-point, this escalatory stalemate may have numerous limitations, such as alienation of the majority of the public, both domestic and international, and legitimization of counter-terrorist governmental measures in a more favourable milieu.27 The terrorist acts that have occurred in Asia, Europe, the United States or elsewhere in the post-9/11 periods posit enough evidence that generational shift that develops in a terrorist milieu is one of the most potent factors in the intensity and brutality of terrorism. Older generations had been more ideological, indoctrinated and selective, later generations are visibly more violent and brutal. 14 x In most of the terrorist conflicts, every four years or so a new “generation” holds a commanding role in terrorist pursuits as older leaders and the “brains” are either killed, eliminated or captured, and their “soldiers” emerge as leaders28. This generational shift may produce newer trends and interests within the ambit of over-arching terrorists’ supportive subculture, which in turn may produce lesser constraints and may aggravate ruthless terrorist activities by their new generation. If we go by the past historical speculations of 9/11 and aftermath, we can draw a specific inference that too much violent acts of indiscriminate mode can provoke harsh reactions and larger intricacies towards international cooperation against terrorists. The US global war against terror has certainly aggravated such trends, particularly after the Gulf War II.29 Response to the New Wave of Terrorism The US-led global war on terror (GWOT) after 9/11 clearly required a clarion call from all civilized, sensitive and informed minds and decision-makers in global Capitals that they must respond to curb the scourge of terrorism within the rule of law, lest people become insensible collaborators during a terrorist campaign, especially Jihadi terrorism emerging from religious radicalism in a globalized world. The modus operandi planned to curb terrorism should be based on an adequate understanding of the individual, group and organizational attitudes of terrorists. The more autonomous groups are, the more counterproductive retaliatory reaction is likely to be. This is due to the fact that it will promote group cohesion, glorify identity of the group, minimize internal tensions and amplify world stature of the group. In the event of larger terrorist groups too, retaliatory policies can signify their identity. The similar argument can also be put forward in case of states acting as patrons or germinating a supportive subculture in the terrorist environment. In fact, a policy which is formulated and implemented to render the path of terrorism utterly unattractive is the most potent process of counter-terrorism. The first and foremost objective should be to discourage potential terrorists from seeking recruitment in terrorist cadres, germinate the seeds of mutual suspicion and tension within the groups and deny external support to them. As part of serious initiatives, the national, regional and international milieu should be made a politically, socially, culturally and economically sound one with the intention to cut to the minimum breeding grounds of most forms of terrorism. In addition to international cooperation in economic, cultural and social fields, including specific research and exchange of information, there may be numerous other important measures irrevocably required in dealing with the emerging challenges of terrorism. Fighting terrorism, domestic, trans-national or international, is not only a problem of the government, security forces and the Sec uritising Peop le in the Post-9/ 11 Terrorist Environm ent : Issues,Trend s ... x15 law enforcement agencies, but also an uphill and consistent task of the target societies. The actual and even potential target countries should devise ways and means to identify patrons and sympathizers, to persuade and pressurize them through diplomatic and other channels towards the renunciation of statesponsored terrorism. The 9/11 events clearly sanctified that nations are required to carry out some initial steps and measures aimed at caging the genie of terrorist violence. As prescribed in a previous work by this author, a suggestive framework can be presented as follow s: 30 Adequate and effective coordination of intelligence and contingency planning; Strict security measures at embassies, airports and the venues of international gatherings and meetings; explosives and other deadly means of terrorist attack against persons or objects; Consistent screening profiles to identify terrorists; Implementing more stringent custom provisions; Provisions for protective clothings, gas masks and specialized Civil Defence measures as part of the long-term planning against Chemical and Bioterrorism.31 Observance of stepped-up security arrangements at the nuclear power establishments, sites and other facilities built by the nuclear weapon states( NWS) , near-nuclear states and potential proliferators to help prevent any event of nuclear terrorism in foreseeable future. Nuclearized South Asia requires specific attention and specialized knowledge.32 In the nuclear weapon states (NWS), stronger fences have been built around the nuclear plants and facilities and large scale use of electronic sensors and other devices have been added to detect intruders; this could also be followed by all others, especially India and Pakistan. Improved avionics for the civilian planes along with sophisticated safety devices by using state of the art technology to separate passengers from captain’s cabin and crew members in case of any emergency; Clamping strict international pressure on the patron states and sympathizers of state-sponsored international terrorism; Concluding bilateral and multilateral extradition agreements; Development of counter-terrorist elite combat forces to fight terrorists and initiatives to provide impetus to other nations to support rigorous actions against terrorists; and 16 x Denial of unrestricted access and use of press, electronic and communication media by the terrorists and proper media management in a terrorist environment. Crisis Management Options In protracted terrorist campaigns, military contingency planning is needed in the primary stage of terrorism, well before taking the decision to use military force. Quick response with overwhelming momentum provides opportunities to launch hard actions against terrorists. Once the military or paramilitary forces are employed, the ultimate goal should to destroy terrorists and their structure as speedily as possible. Intense responses have the benefit of restraining the media coverage for undue publicity to terrorism. But in certain situations of statesponsored terror, the use of force can be the ultimate option, especially if it involves long-term implications33. India, for instance, had mobilized its armed forces against Pakistan after the terrorist attack on Parliament in 13 December 2001, but had ultimately chosen to withdraw by applying serious unilateral restraints. The use of force in countering terrorism should be cautiously planned and executed to minimize collateral loss of persons and facilities, limiting resentment among the population and curbing the subsequent emergence of sympathizers or supportive subculture in the terrorist milieu. The situation in South Asia remains very volatile in this context, particularly due to deep-rooted inimical postures of India and Pakistan against each other.34 In fact, terrorism after 26/11 remains the single largest zig-saw puzzle to have been solved for any renewed successful pace of Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) and normalization of India-Pakistan relations. International Cooperation Following the on-going foot-prints of 21st century, especially after 9/11, the voices of international cooperation under the leadership of the United States did provide some impetus to agree on and devise measures to curb scourge of terrorism, both regionally and internationally. The feeling of international community of shared core values is a moral ingredient of the UN Charter and signifies the authority of International Law. In cases of incessant scourge of terrorism, however, the attitude displayed by the international community largely proved to be rhetoric. Even if some acts such as murder of diplomats and innocent businessmen and hijacking of planes continues to remain as a threat, trans-national terrorism would maintain its essential trend of inflicting more of a challenge for democracies. In a poly-centric and globalized world of today, as a follow-up of post-9/11 drive Sec uritising Peop le in the Post-9/ 11 Terrorist Environm ent : Issues,Trend s ... x17 again terror, fresh avenues must be sought, which should be aimed at garnering effective international cooperation from both the developed and developing countries for curbing the plague of terrorism and eradicating its roots gradually. Furthermore, some nations have maintained restraints in extending support to stern actions against terrorism. Some have shown their inability to prosecute or denied to extradite terrorists captured or taken shelter on their soil. The apathy or skepticism of these governments to extend cooperation for firm anti-terrorist drive may be derived from their fear of reprisals by terrorist gangs, or they may be constrained by perceived interests, commercial or otherwise. There are also problems of differing perceptions and legal ramifications both nationally and internationally. For example, in South Asia, Pakistan’s long-drawn perception of ‘terrorists’ operating on the soil of Jammu and Kashmir as ‘freedom fighters’ still looms large over the horizon due to tinted eye-view of Pakistani decision-making elites. Legal Ramifications of Curbing Terrorism Taken in legal terms, terrorism encompasses both the act and the perpetrator. While prevention and intelligence are aimed at curbing terrorist acts, prosecution and punishment are against the perpetrator(s) of terrorism. Combating terrorism requires an International Law approach entirely different from what is needed for humanization of armed conflicts at the international level. It encompasses international law treaties on inter-governmental cooperation for the prevention and punishment of acts of terrorism. The terrorist is nothing but a criminal offender in terms of national law. International law can provide no more than some agreements on inter-governmental cooperation. Such agreements may ramify the scope or accelerate the efficacy of legislation and cooperation among different administrations in various states. But a global counter-terrorist convention is yet to emerge. In November 1987, the member states of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) adopted the SAARC Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism but, due to political reasons, it remained unimplemented. In the Eleventh Summit in Kathmandu (January, 2002), the leaders of the SAARC had taken a pledge to make collective efforts to suppress terrorism. An additional clause was added to the SAARC Convention on Suppression of Terrorism in the 12th SAARC summit. All such measures constitute a regional approach to many of the well-established principles of International Law in dealing with terrorism. In principle, all the member states are committed to extradite or prosecute alleged terrorists, thus to refrain them from enjoying safe heavens. Regional cooperation is also envisaged in the context of preventive action against terrorism. Exchanges of information, intelligence-sharing and technical expertise are the major areas 18 x identified for mutual cooperation under all conventions. Coordination among Liaison Officers (Anti-Terrorist Law Enforcement Officers) is to be developed through holding international meetings continually at regular intervals to monitor, evaluate and improve counter-terrorist strategies.35 The SAARC Terrorist Offences Monitoring Desk (STOMD) has been set up in Colombo to collate, analyze and disseminate information about the terrorist events, strategies, tactics and modus operandi. Its aim is to concentrate on all terrorist acts which are designed and executed to inflict disastrous impact on life, property, socio-economic development and political stability as well as on regional and international peace and cooperation.36 Unfortunately, despite their proclamations and goodwill gestures shown in their diplomatic dialogues and meetings, the member states of the SAARC have not made any serious effort towards implementation of the SAARC Convention for the Suppression of Terrorism. There is, therefore, an urgent need to observe how terrorism is being contained by other regional groupings or areas beyond SAARC. Concerted domestic, regional and international drive is irrevocably required to combat the menacing monster of terrorism. One of the most effective measures taken by the UN against terrorism so far has been the Resolution 1373 (28 September 2001) of the Security Council through which a number of mandatory decisions were taken on terrorist financing, obligating states to refrain from providing support to terrorists and to take necessary steps to prevent financing of terrorism and deny safe heaven to terrorists.37 The Future Ahead The bottom-line marks the fact that the new trends of post-9/11 terrorism have germinated a variety of permutations and combinations with regard to its nature, ends means and impact on the hearts and minds of people living in South Asia and elsewhere. The principal factor as to why we need to be informed about various ramifications, threat perceptions, measures and counter-measures against terrorism is deeply intertwined with the open reality that the individual or group acts of terrorism can emerge as a domineering threat to domestic, regional and international peace, stability and security. In a fragile world of today, it is difficult to derive any final view of what will be the fate of a counter-terrorist campaign, such as that of US-led global war on terror (GWOT), especially when the US troops are in a state of phased withdrawal from Afghanistan. Presumably in the prevailing post-9/11 circumstances and terrorist ramifications, it may strengthen the resolve of some governments or administrations, while weaken others in the terror-hit South Asia and elsewhere. Terrorism can complicate the resolution of long-drawn bilateral disputes; worsen relations between the involved nation- Sec uritising Peop le in the Post-9/ 11 Terrorist Environm ent : Issues,Trend s ... x19 states. It can also pose incessant problems for reciprocal unilateral restraints in a terrorist environment; hamper region-based future confidence building and tension control negotiations at bilateral and multilateral levels. In one of his discourses on war, renowned British thinker Capt. B.H. Liddell Hart once suggested that “if you wish for peace, understand war”. This can be amplified by stating that “if you wish for global peace and security, understand terrorism in its various shades and modes”. This amplified notion will provide ways and means to curb the problem. South Asian nation-states and civil societies are also reminded of a corollary, which entails the fact that a group of devils ought to be able to devise and agree on ways and means to ensure their survival and peace, provided they are intelligent devils. Those who face the challenges of terrorism are not devils, nor are they angels. They are human beings, but so far they have not evidenced sufficient wisdom and virtue in dealing with this new mode of conflict. This requires new initiatives and paradigm shifts. Hopefully, the road to paradigm shift is open to all in the post-9/11 circumstances. REFERENCES 1. Edington, Mark. (March 2, 2003).The New York Times. 2. See: Reddy, Muralidhar. (September 27, 2006).

The partition of the country was demanded on the principle of two-nation theory i.e. Muslims are different kaum and have nothing to do with Hindus and they cannot live with Hindus on the principle of equality to all. Despite the fact that the theory was and remains absurd, demand was accepted. The theory is absurd can be illustrated by the fact that more than 98% of Muslims are Hindu converts. The most articulate and powerful theoretician for the creation of Pakistan was Sheikh Mohd. Iqbal - popularly known as Allama Iqbal. It must not be forgotten that Iqbal was born as a Hindu - Kashmiri Brahmin. His grandfather converted to Islam sometime after the birth of Iqbal. Despite all this, the demand for a separate state for the Muslims was accepted (33% of the territory for 20% of the population) just for the sake of peace between the two communities. The newly created state of Pakistan chose to be an Islamic state and the parent state i.e. India decided, as per its seven thousand years old tradition of sarvapanth samabhava to be a state where each-and-everyone will be equal irrespective of caste, creed and religion- i.e. ‘a true secular state’ in modern idiom. India decided that we will be a state based on sarvapanth samabhava or sarvadharma samabhava, where all citizens will be governed by a Common Civil Law. Article 44 of the Constitution says, “The state shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India.” This Common Civil Code still remains a distant dream; even after six decades of independence. A perusal of the behavior and policies of the political parties, political leaders and the ‘secularists’ alike shows that everything is being done to make sure that the question of the Common Civil Code, enshrined in the Constitution and being insisted upon constantly by the Hon. Supreme Court of India, is best forgotten. For the last three decades or even more a trend has been witnessed. The judgements of the various courts are being seen in the communal light and not in the light of the Constitution and Law of the land. Whenever a judgement goes against the political motives and unjust aspirations of a particular minority, the courts become a subject of intense criticism and media debate. The Hon. Courts are painted in a bad light but the moment a judgement is against the Hindus (i.e. * Founder Director, Delhi Institute of Heritage Research and Management, New Delhi Sec ula r Ind ia a nd Muslim Reserva tion x23 86% of the population), it is not only welcomed but also the very same courts and judges are lauded as ‘secular’, independent and free from baises. Indeed, an act of inducement and emotional blackmail. What does all this mean? The answer is appeasement and minorityism. Justice Rajinder Sachar Committee was ostensibly appointed by the UPA Government to look into the matters concerning “Social, Economic and Educational Status of the Muslim Community”. The subject matter itself shows as if the social, economic and educational problems in the other communities and among the followers of other religions in India do not exist. If that is not the case then it can be safely presumed that even if the social, economic and educational problems do exist in other communities and the followers of other religion in India, they do not merit any attention because they do not form a vote-bank or they do not form a “very strong, well knit and well-organized minority...that could force the partition of the country.” Be it as it may. However in order to escape criticism and alienation of other minority communities the UPA Government came up with another magic box under the garb of Rangnath Mishra Commission which recommended reservations for Muslims as well as other minorities like Christians and so on. But let us come back to Sachar Committee Report which deals exclusively with the Muslims reservation issue. Sachar Committee Sachar Committee claims to be based on actual data of economic, social and educational conditions of Muslims. But the fact is that it is not only full of inaccurate data but also in many areas it dwells in the realm of fantasy. A large number of problems and deprivations that are being faced by most of the Indians, irrespective of caste, creed and religion, have been presented, as if, those of Muslims alone. Many of the problems discussed in the report have nothing to do with the polity, government and the economic conditions. They emanate directly from the social customs and the religious beliefs. It is impossible to believe that Justice Sachar and his learned colleagues are unaware of this aspect of the problem. The insinuating conclusion of the Sachar Committee concerning the “political participation of the Muslims” and the recommendation that the report has made in the matter is really fantastic. The notification of the Government of India certainly had not mandated the Committee to go into political matters. But it still has gone into it. What is most shocking is that the remedy it has suggested is the same that the most rabid Muslim communalists have been asking for the very same remedy which was based on two-nation theory that finally led to the unprecedented human miseries, both for the Hindus and Muslims, and partition 24 x of the country. The report says : Political Participation, Governance and Equity “As has been indicated earlier in the chapter, many persons the Committee interacted with, felt that lack of adequate “Muslim Voice” in the Government, even in local self government bodies and similar other grassroots institutions has resulted in a situation that Muslims have lagged behind. In their view, political participation and representation in government structure are essential to achieve equity. It was alleged by many that participation is denied to Muslims through a variety of mechanism. Two specific instances were cited in this context: Non-Inclusion of Muslims in the voter lists : It was pointed out that many names of Muslims were missing in the voter lists of a number of states. Not only does this disempower them, it also makes them ineligible as beneficiaries of government scheme. Notification of Reserved Constituencies : Attention of the Committee was drawn to the issue of Muslim concentration assembly being declared as ‘reserved’ constituencies where only SC candidates can contest election. By this move, it was argued that Muslims are being systematically denied political participation. The Committee then suggests the method for the greater participation of the Muslims in the political process in the following manner : “Establishing a More rational Procedure for Delimitation of Constituencies “The Committee also recommends the elimination of the anomalies with respect to reserved constituencies under the delimitation schemes. A more rational delimitation procedure that does not reserve constituencies with high minority population share for SCs will improve the opportunity for the minorities, especially the Muslims, to contest and get elected to Indian Parliament and the State Assemblies. Apart from these two initiatives it is important to evolve other methods to enhance political participation of the Community.3” Non-Inclusion of Muslims in the Voters lists Is it not a fact that many a times omissions of individuals, families and even localities from the voters list happens for a variety of reasons - families not at the station at the time of the revision of the voters list; not taking any interest or checking the voters’ list to see that their names are in the list; and, of course, the Sec ula r Ind ia a nd Muslim Reserva tion x25 political parties conniving with the officers responsible for the revision of voters list for the inclusion of ‘their’ people and even the exclusion of voters which they suspect that they will vote against? In one instance even the name of the Chief Election Commissioner and several senior civil servants living in most important localities were not there in the voters list. Several of the employees in the Rashtrapati Bhawan and also residents there in also had the distinction of not being on the voters list. Can we really say that all these instances happened because of the fact that they were Muslims? Let us accept that missing names from voters list is a disease which has its origin in the carelessness on the part of the people at individual as well as community levels. To say that Muslim Community is being excluded from voters list deliberately is nothing but trivialization of the problem and travesty of truth. Notification of Reserved Constituencies Regarding the notification of the Reserved Constituencies Justice Sachar and his colleagues have gone several steps beyond than what even the most fundamentalists among the Muslims have been demanding for. The report recommends “the elimination of the anomalies with respect to reserved constituencies under the delimitation schemes.” It further recommends “A more rational delimitation procedure that does not reserve constituencies with high minority population share.” In other words Sachar Committee recommends the reservation of seats on the basis of communal electorates which is nothing but re-importing the ghost of two-nation theory. Also, Sachar seems to forget that there has been an unprecedented and unnatural growth of the Muslims population in certain regions of the country, much after the constituencies were reserved of SCs ans STs. Therefore to blame the delimitation commission for the biasness is really sad. What is required is a thorough investigation as to how such an unprecedented and unnatural growth of the Muslim population took place in those areas. Communal Reservations and Constituent Assembly The question of reservation of seats on the basis of the communal electorates was considered in detail by the Advisory Committee appointed by the Constituent Assembly. In the beginning the Advisory Committee which was chaired by H.C. Mookerjee, himself a Christian, recommended for the reservation of seats for the minorities, including Muslims, on the principle of proportional representation in terms of population to be elected by joint electorate and not on the basis of communal and ‘separate electorates’. The proposal said that: “All elections to the Central and Provincial Legislatures will be held on the basis of joint electorates with reservation of seats 26 x for certain specified minorities on their population ratio. This reservation shall be for a period of ten years at the end of which the position is to be reconsidered. There shall be no weightage. But members of the minority communities for whom seats are reserved shall have the right to contest general seat.”4 It must be mentioned here that Muslim League was also part of the Advisory Committee and the Constituent Assembly. The decision to do away with the separate electorates was taken by an overwhelming majority, near consensus. However the recommendations of the Advisory Committee were taken up for the discussion in the Constituent Assembly on 27 and 28 August. After a detail discussion it was decided to defer the matter because the “effect of the Redcliff award on the population structure of East Punjab and West Bengal was not accurately known; further a tragic and immense migration of population was taking place across the frontiers of these Provinces.” The Advisory Committee on Fundamental Rights, Minorities, and Tribals and Excluded Areas met on 24 February, 1948. In order to come to a quick, reasonable and expeditious solution on the issue it appointed a committee of Sardar Patel, as its Chairman; Jawaharlal Nehru, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, K.M. Munshi, and B.R. Ambedkar. This sub-committee submitted its report on 23 November 1948. The report was discussed by the Constituent Assembly for two days, 25 and 26 May 1949. The recommendations as adopted by the Assembly were included in the Draft Constitution. In the nutshell the committee recommended that: “Some members of the Committee felt that, conditions having vastly changed since the Advisory Committee made their recommendations in 1947, it was no longer appropriate in the context of free India and of present conditions that there should be reservation of seats for Muslims, Christians, Sikhs or any other religious minority. Although the abolition of separate electorates had removed much of the poison from the body politic, the reservation of seats for religious communities, it was felt, did lead to a certain degree of separatism and was to that extent contrary to the conception of secular democratic State.”7 The Committee resolved that : “That the system of reservation for minorities other than Scheduled Castes in Legislatures be abolished.”8 The Committee had already rejected the proposal of reservation in the services Sec ula r Ind ia a nd Muslim Reserva tion x27 for any community except for the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled tribes. The Debates in the Constituent Assembly On the issue of the reservation for the Muslims in the Legislatures, Services and Cabinets was discussed thread-bare in the Constituent Assembly. Most of the prominent leaders of both Hindu and Muslim communities were against the reservations bases on religious. It is very important that we recall some of the statements made by the framers of the Constitution of India : Naziruddin Ahmad : I think that reservations of any kind are against healthy political growth. They imply a kind of inferiority........ Then, again, Muslim reservation is linked up with separate electorates, which led to so many disasters. Therefore I should submit that to carry on reservation would only serve to prepetuate the unpleasant memory of those separate electorates and all the embitterments that accompanied them.....I therefore submit that reservation for Muslims would be undesirable.....Sir, reservation is a kind of protection which always has a crippling effect upon the object protected. So for all these reasons, I should strongly oppose any reservation for Muslims.......From the Muslim point of view alone, we do not want any reservation whatsoever.....Those of my honourable friends who think that there should be reservations, have their eyes on the past. They are looking behind. But our eyes, the eyes of the Indian Muslims, should be facing the future. Begum Aizaz Rasul : For my part I have from the beginning felt that in a secular state separate electorates have no place. Therefore the principle of joint electorates having once been accepted, the reservation of seats for minorities to me seems meaningless and useless......To my mind reservation is a selfdestructive weapon which separates the minorities from the majority for all time.....It keeps up the spirit of separatism and communalism alive which should be done away once and for all..... We want to finish with the past and we want that a new page should be turned over in which all communities living in this country would feel happy and secure.....Sir, I feel that we Muslims should pave the way for not only the introduction but the strengthening of a secular democratic State in this country. The only way in which we can do it is by giving up reservations........ Muhammad Ismail Khan : I am very glad that this decision has been taken and I welcome it. Why? Because this reservation of seats would only keep alive Communalism and would be ineffectual as a safeguard for the Muslim minorities or for the matter of that for any other minorities......That is why I want to do away with Communalism in the shape of separate electorates so that when they come here they can speak with the same authority as any 28 x other member and as a representative not only of the Muslims but also of the majority community. There is no half-way house between separate representation and territorial electorates.....Moreover we desire that our State should be non-communal and secular. Here is an opportunity and we should grasp it. Let us not stand in the way of the emergence of a really secular and non-communal State. Jawaharlal Nehru (United Provinces: General) : I wish to associate myself with this historic turn in our destiny: for, indeed, it is a historic motion that my colleague, the Deputy Prime Minister has put before this House. It is a motion which means not only discarding something that was evil, but turning back upon it and determining with all our strength that we shall pursue a path which we consider fundamentally good for every part of the nation......Now, all of us here, I believe, are convinced that this business of separatism, whether it took the shape of separate electorates or other shapes has done a tremendous amount of evil to our country and to our people. We came to the conclusion some time back that we must get rid of separate electorates. That was the major evil......We decided some time ago in another connection that we should have no truck with communalism or separatism. It was rightly pointed out to us then that if that is so, why do you keep these reservations because this itself will make people think in terms of separate compartments in the political domain......Where you are up against a fullblooded democracy, if you seek to give safeguards to minority, and a relatively small minority, you isolate it. May be you protect it to a slight extent, but at what cost? At the cost of isolating it and keeping it away from the main current in which the majority is going,- I am talking on the political plane of course- at the cost of forfeiting that inner sympathy and fellowfeeling with the majority. Frankly I would like this proposal to go further and put an end to such reservations as there still remain........One of the biggest things in regard to them is this one of separate electorates, reservation of seats and the rest. Therefore, I think that doing away with this reservation business is not only a good thing in itself - good for all concerned, and more especially for the minorities - but psychologically too it is a very good move for the nation and for the world. It shows that we are really sincere about this business of having a secular democracy. Shri Tajamul Hussain : Reservation of seats in any shape or form and for any community or group of people is, in my opinion, absolutely wrong in principle. Therefore I am strongly of opinion that there should be no reservation of seats for anyone and I, as a Muslim, speak for the Muslims. There should be no reservation of seats for the Muslim community. (Hear; Hear). I would like to tell you that in no civilised country where there is Sec ula r Ind ia a nd Muslim Reserva tion x29 parliamentary system on democratic lines, there is any reservation of seats.......what is reservation, Sir? Reservation is nothing but a concession, a safeguard, a protection for the weak. We, Muslims do not want any concession, do not want protection, do not want safeguards. We are not weak. This concession would do more harm than good to the Muslims. Reservation is forcing candidates on unwilling electorates.......We must exert ourselves. Separate electorates have been curse to India, have done incalculable harm to this country. Reservation is the offspring of separate electorates. Do not bring in reservation in the place of separate electorates. Separate electorates have gone for ever. We desire neither reservation nor separate electorates. We want to merge in the nation. We desire to stand on our own legs. We do not want the support of anyone. We are not weak. We are strong. We are Indians first and we are all Indians and will remain Indians....We are not a minority. The term ‘minority’ is a British creation. The British created minorities. The British have gone and minorities have gone with them. Remove the term ‘minority’ from your dictionary. I appeal to all minorities to join the majority in creating a secular State. In the new state of things, I want that every citizen in India should be able to rise to the fullest stature and that is why I say that reservation would be suicidal to the minority. I want the minorities to forget that they are minorities in politics. If they think they are minorities in politics, they will be isolated....The minorities should look forward to the time when they could take their place not under communal or racial labels, but as part and parcel of the whole Indian community....I would ask the majority community, not to thrust reservation on the Muslims. If you honestly and sincerely believe that it is a wrong thing, for god’s sake, do not give us reservation. You knew that separate electorate was a wrong thing for the Muslims and for India, and you never consulted the Muslims. Hasrat Mohani : I opposed the principle of reservation of seats at a time when the Congress Party was in its favour. We refuse to accept any concession. In case the majority party, or the Congress Party, accepts reservation of seats, its claim of creating a secular State and of putting an end to communalism would be falsified. B. H. Zaidi : For nearly forty years, the Muslims were used to the props and crutches provided to them by the British. We came to love these prop and crutches. Many a patient who has lost the use of his legs and is given crutches will tick to them and would like to lean on them even when some good surgeon has given him back the use of his legs. These generally wish to cling to their crutches. Crutches is not the right word; I should say, stilts because, stilts not only support you, but also give you artificial height. If we 30 x throwaway these stilts, not only do we need to trust to the strength of our legs but also we are reduced in height. We were given some artificial importance in this country. It was an importance which was nothing more than an illusion....We are given the use of our legs. We are being taught the lesson of self-reliance. Would any person possessing any self-respect, any pride, any manliness in him, cling to artificial safeguards? Is it not against his grain, does it not go against his self respect to ask for, to pled for, and to cling to, artificial props and safeguards? Are these really safeguards? Do they provide the safety? Do they serve the ends we have in view? Sardar Patel (on 27-8-1947) : Well, when Pakistan was conceded, at least it was assumed that there would be one nation in the rest of India- the 80 per cent India - and there would be no attempt to talk of two nations here also. It is no use saying that we ask for separate electorates, because it is good for us. We have heard it long enough. We have heard it for years, and as a result of this agitation we are now a separate nation. The agitation was that “We are a separate nation, we cannot have either separate electorates or the weightage or any other concessions of consideration sufficient for our protection. Therefore, give us a separate State.” We said, “All right, take your separate State.” But in the rest of India, in 80 per cent of India do you agree that there shall be one nation? Or do you still want the two nations talk to be brought here also? I am against separate electorates. Can you show me a free country where there are separate electorates? If so, I shall be prepared to accept it. But in this unfortunate country if this separate electorate is going to be persisted in, even after the division of the country, woebetide the country; it is not worth living in. Therefore, I say, it is not for my good alone, it is for your own good that I say it, “forget the past. One day we may be united. I wish well to Pakistan. Let it succeed. Let them build in their own way, let them prosper. Let us enter into a rivalry of prosperity, but let us not enter into that rivalry that is going on today in the land of Pakistan. My friend the mover of the amendment says the Muslim community today is a strong-knit community. Very good....you are verywell organised community. Tell me, why do you behave like a lame man. Be a bold and strong man, as you are well-organised and stand up. Think of the nation that is being built on this side. We have laid the foundation of a nation.......Therefore I say, and appeal to you, “What are you doing?” Think about it. Do you expect any one man in this country outside the Muslim League who will say ‘Let us now also agree to separate electorates’. Why do you do this? If you say, “We want now to have loyalty on this side of this nation”, may I ask you “Is this loyalty?” Are you provoking response of loyalty form other side? I have no intention to speak on this, but when the mover of this amendment talked such a long time and it was supported Sec ula r Ind ia a nd Muslim Reserva tion x31 by the leader, then I felt that something is wrong again still in his land. Therefore, my dear friends, I ask you, “Do you want now peace in this land? If so do away with it.......I appeal to you ‘let us at least on this side show that everything is forgotten.” Sardar Patel (on 28.8.1947) : When I agreed to the reservation on the population basis, I thought that our friends of the Muslim League will see the reasonableness of our attitude and allow themselves to accommodate themselves to the changed conditions after the separation of the country. But now I find them adopting the same methods which were adopted when the separate electorates were first introduced in this country, and in spite of ample sweetness in the language used there is a full dose of poison in the method adopted...We now have got he division of the country. In order to prevent the separation of he country this formula was evolved by the nationalist Muslims, as a sort of half way house, until the nation becomes one; we wished to drop it afterwards. But now the separation of the country is complete and you say let us introduce it again and have another separtation. I do not understand this method of affection. Therefore, although I would not have liked to say anything on this motion, I think it is better that we know our mind perfectly each other, so that we can understand where we stand. If the process that was adopted, which resulted in the separtation of the country, is to be repeated, then I say: Those who want that kind of thing have a place in Pakistan, not here (Applause). Here, we are building a nation and we are laying the foundation of One Nation, and those who choose to divide again and sow the seeds of disruption will have no place, no quarter, here, and I must say that plainly enough....You cannot have it both ways. Therefore, my friends, you must change your attitude, adopt yourself to the changed conditions. And don’t pretend to say “Oh, our affection is very great for you”. We have seen your affection. Why talk about it? Let us forget the affection. Let us face the realities. Ask yourself whether you really want to stand here and cooperate with us or you want again to play disruptive tactics. Therefore, when I appeal to you, I appeal to you to have a change in your heart, not a change of tongue, because that won’t pay here....You have got what you wanted. You have got a separate State and remember you are the people who were responsible for it, and not those who remain in Pakistan. You led the agitation. You got it. What is it that you want now? I don’t understand. In the majority Hindu provinces you, the minorities, you led the agitation. You got the partition and now again you tell me and ask me to say for the purpose of securing the affection of the younger brother that I must agree to the same thing again, to divide the country again in the divided part. For God’s sake, understand that we have also got some sense. Let us understand the thing clearly. Therefore, when I say we 32 x must forget the past, I say it sincerely....There must be reciprocity. If it is absent, then you take it from me that no soft words can conceal what is behind your words. Therefore, I plainly once more appeal to you strongly that let us forget and let us be one nation. Sardar Patel (on 26.5.1949) : When the separate communal electorate nation was moved, it was supported by the great Muslim leader, who swore loyalty to the Constitution in this House and immediately after packed off to Karachi. He is now carrying on the work of the Muslim League on that side. He has left a legacy here-a residuary legacy perhaps in Madras. Unfortunately, there is still a very large amount of funds belonging to the old Muslim League, which was the All India Muslim League, which has yet to be settled, and some of our friends still claim that they might get some big chunk of those funds if they still persist in continuing the old League here. Even if the money, or a good portion of it, could be brought here, I doubt if it would do any good to those who get it. Those who claim that in this country there are two nations and that there is nothing common between the two, and ‘that we must have our homeland where we can breather freely’, let them do so. I do not blame them. But those who still have that idea that they have worked of it, that they have got it and therefore they should follow the same path here, to them I respectfully appeal to go and enjoy the fruits of that freedom and to leave us in peace. There is no place here for those who claim separate representation.... I remember that the gentleman who moved the motion here last time, in August 1947, when asking for separate electorates, I believe, said that the Muslims today were a very strong, well-knit and well-organised minority. Very good. A minority that could force the partition of the country is not a minority at all. Why do you think that you are a minority? If you are a strong, well-knit and well-organised minority, why do you want to claim safeguards, why do you want to claim privileges? It was all right when there was a third party: but that is all over. That dream is a mad dream and it should be forgotten altogether. Never think about that, do not imagine that anybody will come here to hold the scales and manipulate them continuously. All that is gone....You have got a free mind to think now and therefore you begin to feel that what you have done in the past may perhaps not be right...But there are some people who worked for separtation, who claimed all throughout their lives that the two nations are different and yet claim to represent here the remaining “nation”....I appeal to every one of you to think before you vote, to search your conscience and to think what is going to happen in the future of this country. The future shape of this country as a free country is different from the future that was contemplated by those who worked for partition. Therefore, I would ask those who have Sec ula r Ind ia a nd Muslim Reserva tion x33 worked for that to note that the times have changed, the circumstances have changed and the world has changed and that therefore they must change if they want salvation. Now, I need not waste any time on the question of separate electorates... Implementation of Sachar Committee and Rang Nath Mishra Commission Reports and India’s Future However, the Sachar Committee report and the Prime Minister, who has never w on even a Gram Panchayat election, saying that the “Muslims have first right on the resources of the nation”, has put not only the principle of ‘equality’ and ‘equal opportunity for all’ irrespective of caste, creed and religion on a burner but also the whole Constitution being put into the dust-bin. I leave it to the ‘wisdom’ of our leaders, academia, and the experts. Nevertheless, it is necessary to understand that some of the recommendations of Sachar Committee and Rang Nath Mishra Commission are nothing but an assault on the Constitution of India which is already under heavy strain in the hands of our ‘leaders’ who are more concerned for their votes, elections, and powers than anything concerning the future of the country. Let us not forget a simple but brutal fact: “Those who ignore their history are destined to become very soon the part of history.” This is what is going to happen to India and the Hindus. Today India is a ‘secular’ country just because it has more than 86% Hindu population. Hindu tradition from the time immemorial has been that of vasudhaiva kutumbakam, atithi devo bhava and sarvdharma sambhava. It must be underlined that most of the religions which came in India were not just ‘tolerated’ but in fact welcomed, and accepted by the society under the dictum atithi devo bhava and ekam sad vipra bahudha vadanti. All the three Semitic religions found respectable place in India and among the Hindus. The Zoroastrians found love, peace and protection in India. We need not be given the lesson of ‘secularism’. All those who chose to live in this country chose the primacy of the Constitution of India based on sarvdharma sambhava with no place for the religion in the formulation of Governments’ policies and State’s polity. It is our solemn duty to see to it that this cardinal principle is adhered to in letter and spirit and the meaning of ‘secularism’ is not reduced to appeasement of any particular community or caste. In this context it would be worthwhile to recall Liaquat Ali’s visit to India in April 1950 and Jawaharlal Nehru succumbing to his pressure to start again the separate electorate in the Legislatures and reservations for the Muslims in the services. N.V. Gadgil gives following narrative of the incident in his autobiography 34 x Government from Inside: “Liaquat Ali came to Delhi in March 1950, had discussions with Nehru and one fine morning at 10 o’clock Nehru placed before the Cabinet a draft of his agreement with him....The final two paragraphs in the agreement accepted the principle of reservation for Muslims in proportion to their population in all the services and representative bodies in the constituent states of India. Similar provisions were suggested for the Central Government also. Each of us got a copy of the draft but no one would open his mouth! I said, ‘these two paragraphs nullify the whole philosophy of the Congress. The country had to pay the price of division as a result of acceptance of separate electorates. You are asking it to drink the same poison again’....After a detail discussion in the Cabinet the next day whole provision of reservation was dropped”,(p. 191). It must be said to the credit of Jawaharlal Nehru that he not only allowed his colleagues the freedom of thought and speech but also accepted their view point if it was in the interest of the nation. At the same time to save the position and prestige of Nehru in the eyes of visit Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Sardar Patel told Liaquat Ali (on 5th April, 1950) on the issue of reservation for the Muslims on the communal lines: “I am quite sure that the party will not accept it and the country will not swallow this bitter pill. We have conceded one Pakistan; that is more than enough.” Later, on the issue of the reservations, Jawaharlal Nehru wrote to all the Chief Ministers on 27th June 1961: “I have referred above to efficiency and to our getting out of our traditional ruts. This necessitates out getting out of the old habits of reservations and particular privileges being given to this caste or that group. The recent meeting we held here, at which the Chief Ministers were present, to consider national integration, laid down that help should be given on economic considerations and not on caste. It is true that we are tied up with certain rules and conventions about helping the scheduled castes and tribes. They deserve help but, even so I dislike any kind of reservation, more particularly in Services. I react strongly against anything which leads to inefficiency and second-rate standards. I want my country to be a first class country in everything. The moment we encourage the second-rate, we are lost. Sec ula r Ind ia a nd Muslim Reserva tion x35 “The only real way to help a backward group is to give opportunities of good education; this includes technical education which is becoming more and more important. Everything else is provision of some kind of crutches which do not add to the strength or health of the body. We have made recently two decisions which are very important: one is, universal free elementary education, that is the base; and the second is scholarships on a very wide scale at every grade of education to the bright boys and girls, and this applies not merely to the literary education, but, much more so, to technical, scientific and medical training. I lay stress on the bright and able boys and girls because it is only they who will raise our standards. I have no doubt that there is a vast reservoir of potential talent in this country if only we can give it opportunity. “But if we go in for reservations on communal and caste basis, we swamp the bright and able people and remain second-rate or third-rate. I am grieved to learn how far this business of reservation has gone based on communal considerations. It has amazed me to learn that even promotions are based some times on communal or caste considerations. This way lays not only folly, but disaster. Let us help the backward groups by all means, but never at the cost of efficiency. How are we going to build the public sector or indeed any sector with second rate-people?” That is Jawaharlal Nehru, almost after 12 years after the Constitutional provisions for the reservation for Scheduled Casts and Scheduled Tribes only. The debasement of the politicians can be understood but what do you do when even the Supreme Court Judges start approving citing such phrases and books as “Merit, My Foot: A Reply to Anti-Reservation Racists”. What do you do when even the Supreme Court Judges say that “merit and efficiency is [sic] a pure Aryan invention, aimed at maintaining their monopoly.....Efficiency is very much on the lips of the privileged whenever reservation is mentioned.” In the eyes of even the Hon’ble courts now the suggestions of Jawaharlal Nehru is nothing more than “a pure Aryan invention, aimed at maintaining their monopoly.” Poor Jawaharlal! He could have never imagined that a day will come when his own party under the control of his own foreign born granddaughter-in-law will reduce to the level of an Aryan Racist and the one whose sole aim was to maintain the monopoly of Aryan Racists. Today it appears as if all those framed the Indian Constitution and all those who contributed to is in various ways, right from the drafting of the Commission to participating in the Constituent Assembly Debates and moving more than 36 x 7000 amendments to the Draft Constitutions were all fools. In the light of today’s wisdom of the pigmy politicians and some of the judgements of our highest court one is compelled to reach the conclusion that the likes of Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel, Maulana Azad, K.M. Munshi, Begum Aizaz Rasul, Muhammad Ismail Khan, R.K. Sidhva, M.R. Jayakar, Tajamul Hussain, Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, Col. B.S. Zaidi, C.P. Ramaswamy Aiyyar, B.N. Rau, Bhim Rao Ambedkar and a hosts of others were all fools and deserve to be consigned to the dust-bin of history and the constitution framed by them is nothing but a worthless. However, the reservations recommended by the Sachar Committee and Rang Nath Mishra Commission has altogether different dimension. It is being demanded on the basis of religion. Let us not forget that India was divided by raising the bogey of two nations theory, demand for the reservations in the armed forces, government services, educational institutions, etc. and the separate electorates on the basis of religion for the Muslims. The fresh demands for reservations and the recommendations of the Sachar Committee’s recommendations much be seen in the light of the last two hundred years of the country. Let us not forget as to what was the mandate of the Constituent Assembly. Also, we must take note of the shrill voices of the Muslim leaders and intellectuals coupled with the support of Communist parties constantly threatening the further division of the country if their demands are not met. Congress appears to be playing the game again. Any shortsightedness on the part of leaders with a concern for the country and the people of the country is bound to spell doom on the country, its people and several millennia old civilization which has always believed in equal respect for all religions and welcomed all the religion in its land. Why C entra l Asia Thesis of Ved ic C iviliza tion x37 Why Central Asia Thesis of Vedic Civilization T.P. Verma* Central Asia Thesis of Vedic Civilization (CATVEC) has advanced the view that Vedic civilization originated in the Meru (Pamir) region where Manu first landed. The Indian landmass, i.e. the ‘Ark of Manu’ drifted from Antarctica and joined Eurasian landmass giving rise to several geological upheavals like uplift of Pamir and Himalayas. This was the site of the activities of Indra and several other legends described in the Puranas and Samhitas. Many modern scholars have perceived mobilization of tribes from this region towards west and south giving rise to IndoEuropean, proto-Indo-European and Aryan Invasion theories. The CATVEC is suitable answer to these and many such problems. That Central Asia was the cradle of human civilization i.e. is a puranic concept and it has several allusions in the Vedic literature also. During about last two centuries or so European scholars intensely engaged in investigating the origins of humanity, which they fondly call Indo-European question. But in spite of enormous efforts of several generations of scholars working on the issue no consensus seems in sight. Consequently the whole idea of Indo-European has flopped. In fact it initiated in a right direction but was put on wrong path due to biblical concepts of history as well as European ego that emerged from their world wide success in capturing political and economic resources of almost all the continents. On the academic front when the Sanskrit language became known to the people of the continent they concentrated on Vedic literature and ignored Puranas as trash. Soon Sanskrit also was discarded or dethroned from the status of original language out of religious, political and egoistic bias. From this point the Indo-European search took a wrong track that was destined to reach nowhere. One can only wish if the Indo-Europeanists could consider the Puranic history for their quest and have examined biblical accounts in that light. An unbaised view of both the sources can reveal that the story related in the Old Testament is a crud caricature of Puranic history. Now we deal in brief the Puranic account about the descent of Manu, the first progenitor of humanity, on the Mountain of Meru or the present Pamir Mountains. * 397-A, Ganga Pradushan C. Road, Bhagwanpur, Varanasi-221 005 38 x It is interesting to note in the beginning that this thesis has its base in the sciences of Geology and Geography and is also supported by ancient ecology. At the same time there are written records in Hindu literature, occasionally supplemented by ancient literatures of world civilizations and traditions. A number of modern scholars, European as well as others have also repeatedly favored Central Asia for the mobilization of human tribes and races (as they call it) in different parts of Europe and Asia. Archaeologists who have worked in Soviet Central Asia (Kurgan and Andronovo cultures) and Bactria and Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC) also try to convince that there are Vedic elements in them. Some ancient West Asian cultures also give message that their roots were in Vedic culture. So far as linguistics is concerned it has become a victim of colonial politics and is used as a tool to maintain European hegemony. Linguistic studies have been limited to European context only; the other continents of the world remain unattended. In fact there is hardly any language in the known world, with few exceptions, in which Vedic/Sanskrit roots/words cannot be traced. Many Indo-Europeanists may object to these claims as chauvinistic, nationalistic or Hindu fundamentalist/revivalists etc. but we cannot help but put our ideas in a logical way. We begin with the identification of Puranic Meru or Sumeru with Pamir Mountain in Central Asia. In the puranas whole of Asia is called Jambudvipa and Meru (Pamir Mountain) was its nave. The puranas assert that it was the Meru that elevated first in the sea now know as Tethys Sea. We relate this with the modern continental drift theory according to which the Indian landmass collided with the Asian landmass thus starting a chain of geological upheavals giving rise to Asian and European mountain systems. According to puranic chronology this happened about 120 million years ago but modern geologist estimate about half of this period. Geological Background According to the Continental Drift Theory, Plate Tectonics and Sea Floore Spread Theory the north-western portion of the Indian sub-continent first collided with the Eurasian landmass giving rise first to the Pamir plateau. S.M. Mathur informs “Deep seismic soundings and seismotectonic data in the Great Himalyas-PamirHindukush region has led a team of scientists in the National Geophysical Research Institute to conclude that the northern boundary of the Indian Plate does not lie along the Indus Suture Line nor along the Main Central Thrust, but falls much to the north of the combined Indo-Tibetan block. The new plate boundary is postulated to coincide with the southern margin of the Tien ShanNan Shan mobile fold belt, passing south of the Ordos and Shanshi blocks, Why C entra l Asia Thesis of Ved ic C iviliza tion x39 turning finally northeastward towards the southeast of Peking (Beijing).”1 This confirms the puranic assertion that other mountains of Asia are connected by their filament or roots (kesara). These kesara mountains, as recorded in the puranas (VP II. 27-30) are 5 each to its east, south, west and north. Beside these there are maryada (boundary) mountains also. Accordingly the Jathara and Devakuta are Boundary Mountains that are spread from north to south up to Nila and Nishadha mountains. Gandhamadana and Kelasa lie east-west in the sea.2 To the west of Meru Nishadha and Pariyatra also are Maryada Parvatas. In the north Trisringa and Jarudhi are Varsha Parvatas (i.e. Country Mountains). Both of these have their roots in the East and West Seas (VP II. 41-44). “The early Indo-Iranians believed that all mountains were connected by their roots to High Hara; and that all bodies of water were connected to the magical sea.”3 S.M. Mathur further notes “The northward movement of the Indian Plate against the Central Asian landmass closed the Tethys gap. The subduction of this plate underneath the eastern Eurasian Plate pushed up the Tethyan sediments to form the Himalayan chain.”4 Some puranic legends can be explained in the light of this geological phenomenon. The present author has explained the puranic legend of Ark of Manu as Indian landmass that drifted through for several millennia and finally collided with Eurasian landmass. It certainly was not an ordinary Ark which was carried by Lord Vishnu Himself. The biblical description of the Ark is just a caricature of the original story. Orogenic process that started after this collision changed the face of Eurasia to make of fit for the origin of man; and Manu was their progenitor. The Meru (Pamir) came out first from the sea with its other auxiliary branches and Himalaya erupted next. At that time the Ganga plain was the North Sea.5 The two puranic legends are related with this incident. Sage Agastya is said to have drunk this water and the region became dry. When he was asked to release the water he said that it is now consumed, something else to be done to redress it. Then the people started efforts to bring Ganga River to plains thus created.6 The other legend about Agastya muni is related with the lowering of the Vindhya Mountains which started rising in competition of the Meru.7 This, again, is a geological phenomenon. When the Indian landmass collided, naturally its speed was arrested and, consequently, Vindhya started rising. This puranic legend of Agastya gives the credit of lowering Vindhya to him and also his association with the human activities in South India. The two puranic legends reveal a chapter of human history that has never been recorded. This indicates that human history goes back to several millennia. It is a question as to how the Vedic people could know of it cannot be understood 40 x by persons who are apt to compress human civilization within ten thousands of years. The puranic descriptions are of considerable antiquity pointing to geological times. We will come to the mountains, rivers and the countries around the Meru or Pamir that can be understood only if we postulate very ancient period of time. This also goes to explain why rivers and towns of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are not mentioned in the Rgveda; perhaps they did not exist at all at that time. The puranas also mention several rivers that are difficult to trace now because since then several geological changes have made it impossible to identify most of these rivers in their exact positions as described in the puranas. The Vedic people were good mariners8 is proved by the instances described in the Rgveda but European scholars have postulated that they were ignorant about sea because according to them Vedic Aryans originated in the Punjab region where there is no sea. The puranic geological features advanced by us are supported by modern geological studies. Dr. S.P. Gupta’s exposition gains importance here who has described some geological features of Central Asia that throw light on the situation during antiquity. We are citing some excerpts from him below.9 “Thus in the beginning, some 500 million years ago, a vast sea existed from Western Europe across to China and the northern shores of India which was then separate land-mass…. For over 100 million years the sediments brought by rivers formed huge beds of sedimentary rocks in the sea. Then some 60 million years ago, it is hypothesized, ‘the Indian land-mass collided with he Asian landmass. The impact crumbled the layers of sedimentary rock along the edges of the two continents, creating a line of colossal mountain ranges, among them the Pamirs, the Tien Shan and the Himalayas. The newly formed mountains trapped the sea in north, creating a huge inland basin. As the welding of India to Central Asia continued over next 25 million years, this basin was wedged up by edge of the Indian land-mass and was drained to the west- into the present-day Black Sea and the Mediterranean- leaving Turkestan with only a few large saline “puddles”, among them are the Caspian and Aral Sea.’ “Then followed the period of the creation of fresh-water rivers, such as the Amu and the Syr which, along with numerous others, now lost or merged, kept on meandering, through their own loads, deposited, cut and re-deposited and to be re-cut once again.” This description by Gupta is valuable in understanding puranic narration of ancient rivers emanating from the Central Mountain of Meru. The puranas relate that in the beginning the Meru attracted atmospheric moisture, figuratively emanating from the toes of Vishnu going to Brahma’ gourd or vessel called Why C entra l Asia Thesis of Ved ic C iviliza tion x41 Ganga (not to be confused with the river Ganga of India) and was arrested on Meru in the form of glaciers. The Rgvedic hymns have variously praised these fresh water streams that were like milk to all forms of life from plant to animal. The Vedic god Indra is said to have released fresh water from mountains by killing the demon Vrtra (glacier). Indra is praised in hundreds of hymns. However, initially four rivers are said to have issued from Meru in all the four directions and these are Sita used to flow in the east, Alaknanda in the south, Calshu in the west and Bhadra in the north. Gupta has noted that these rivers, ‘kept on meandering, through their own loads, deposited, cut and re-deposited and to be re-cut once again.’ This geological fact is reflected in Vedic and puranic accounts where a good number of sets of rivers are observed. In some later layers of puranic legends of the descent of Ganga transforms into seven streams.10 Thus descent of Ganga in antiquity from atmosphere cannot be ruled out as myth. Similarly, the existence of Caspian Sea also has something to do with the Vedic and Puranic legends. Strabo wrote that “to the country of the Albanians belongs also the territory called Caspian, which was named after the Caspian tribe, as was also the sea; but the tribe, has now disappeared.”11 The same source equates this name with Sanskrit Kashyapa. Kashyapas are one of the seven Vedic rishi families who have been known as ‘exclusive Soma family’.12 In the puranic historical tradition Kashyapa is known as a progenitor (Prajapati) who married the daughters of the progenitor Daksha from whom all species of life have originated. We have reasons to believe that Pamir was the region of Daksha and the Caspian of Kashyapa. The point cannot be treated in detail for of want of space in this short article. Some other names of this sea, like Sarmatic sea, based on a people called Sarmatians, can be associated with Vedic Sarama, who spied Panis for Indra. The Panis inhabited the northern parts Central Asia and the Dasa/Dasyus usded to live in the Caspian steppes. Both are described as enemy of the Aryans. That the Caspian Sea was landlocked long before 5.5 million years ago is attested by the fact that its salinity is approximately 2.1%, about a third the salinity of most sea water. A very large depression area around Caspian and Aral suggests that the whole region must have submerged and also that subsequently the hydraulic system of the region must have frequently changing. Therefore it is no wonder if geologists assert that at one point of time Oxus River (Amu Darya) used to flow in the Caspian Sea, now forms a delta in the Aral Sea. We do not have ecological data of very ancient period but Vedic and puranic references indicate that this region might have been friendly to human habitat. Vedic peoples like Rishikas, Paradas, Ashvakas, Uttara Madras, Uttara Kurus etc. lived here. To this list we can add Dasa/Dasyu and Panis, as stated earlier, of Vedic and Iranian literature. The Airyanem Vaejah of Avesta has been variously identified with the Pamir region.13 It was the combined legendary home of the 42 x Vedic and Iranians; thus both lived together in the region for long time. The Iranians are clubbed together with the Dasa/Dasyu in the Rgveda where Indra is requested to kill both Arya and Dasyu.14 The Iranian mythology also holds that ‘it contained the first mountain created on earth, Hara Berezaiti or High Hara…. Close to mountain was a sea, called Vourukasha in the Avesta, where the “Trees of All Seeds” grew.’15 Nine Segments of Jambudvipa The puranic history relates that there were nine divisions of Jambudvipa with Meru (Pamir) in the centre. The central country was known as Ilavritavarsha or the country of Ila. The countries to its immediate north were called Ramyakavarsha (i.e. Beautiful Country), Hiranyamayavarsha (the Golden Country) and the Uttarakuruvarsha (i.e. the Country of the North Kuru People). These names can roughly be recognized but their physical boundaries cannot precisely be defined. This also suggests that these regions were inhabited during the Vedic and Puranic times. Countries to the south of Ilavritavarsha were Bharatavarsha, Kimpurushavarsha and Harivarsha. These were South Asian countries. To the east of Meru was the country of Bhadrasvavarsha (i.e. China) and to its west was the country called Ketumalavarsha (i.e. West Asia). These were the nine divisions of Jambudvipa, i.e. Asia.16 Ilavritavarsha in Rgveda and Puranas The Ilavritavarsha is mentioned in the Rgveda as ‘best place on earth’ and ‘the abode of Ila’ where the sacred fire was established.17 This is referred to in a number of hymns.18 This region has also been called as ‘Centre of the Earth’ (Nabha Prithivya).19 Many of these mantras speak of the sacred fire being established in the ‘Abode of Ila’ that was the ‘Centre of the Earth’ and ‘the best place on Earth’. This recalls the puranic legend when Pururavas, the son of Ila is said to have established three Agnis (Ahavaniya, Garhapatrya and Dakshinagni) in the region.20 However, the puranic legend relates that Ila was the first son of Manu who later transformed inta a woman, called Ila, and bore a son named Pururavas, with Budha, the son of Chandra.21 That her abode was in the Meru region is attested by several references in the puranas also. The Matsyapurana asserts that Manu still lives on Meru and he retired to Mahendra Mountain after installing Ila (as Sudyumna in man form) on the throne.22 The place where Siva was amusing with Uma also was in its vicinity because Ila or Sudyumna entered there while on hunt on a horse back to find himself transformed into a female. Matsya23 calls it Saravana while Vayu24 calls this place Umavana. The last name becomes significant when we see it in geological sequence. Meru was the first to emerge Why C entra l Asia Thesis of Ved ic C iviliza tion x43 and Himalaya evolved later. The mythology records that Uma or Sati was the daughter of Daksha Prajapati who lived around Meru. In her next incarnation Uma was born as Parvati, the daughter of Himalaya. Identification of Saryanavat But the name Saravana of Matsya is more significant that gives some more precise clue to geographical identification. We begin with Maujavata Mountain where Soma is said to grow.25 The Atharvaveda relates Maujavat with Bahlika (Bactria in Afghanistan) where there still exists a region called Munjan. The language of this region is called Maunjani. This we will discuss later. Here there is a lake Zeravshan in the middle Sogdianna region. There is a river of this name also that is lost in the deserts before reaching Oxus. This is referred as Saryanavata in the Rgveda. David Frawley notes “The main sacred Soma lands in the Rig Veda are called Sushoma, Arjikiya, Sharanyavat and Pastyavat. 26 Here we are mainly concerned with Saryanavat which can be identified with ‘Zeravshan in the middle Sogdiana’ and also with Saravana of the Matsyapurana. The Rgvedic references to Saryanavat do not specify the geographical regions but some epic references attach this with Kurukshetra. Some modern scholars also support the theory. But they do not appear correct in the light of following evidences. In a hymn of Rgveda (VIII. 64.11), where devata is Indra, it is said that Soma, most dear to Indra, grows in Saryanavat which is in the (region of the) river Sushoma and Arjikiya. Saryanavati is again mentioned in a hymn (VIII. 6.39) where Indra is prayed to rejoice at this place. The 113 hymn of mandala IX of the Rgveda is dedicated to Soma (as devata). Its first mantra relates that Indra, showing great prowess, killed Vrtra after infusing great strength in him by quaffing the Soma in Saryanavat. In another mantra (113.6) of the same hymn it is said that Brahma Pavamana recites chhanda (Veda) in this place. This is where Vaivasvata (Manu) is the king (113.8). Here it may be recalled the statement of Matsya, already mentioned, that Manu is still residing on Meru Mountain. David Frawley’s note also is important that “Sharyanavat is associated with the place where Indra defeated Vritra (IX. 113.1), symbol of both glacier and cloud. Sharyanavat in the Rig Veda occurs as a great place of mountains.”27 For the latter sentence he gives the reference of Rigveda X. 35.1(?) but actually it is the second mantra in which ‘parvatan Saryanavat’ occurs. Sayana explains the compound as ‘saryanavati sarasah sambandhinah parvatan’ meaning the lake called Saryanavat on the mountain near Kurukshetra.28 This is the nucleus of the confusion that misleads the scholars. There is no mountain near Kurukshetra where glaciers and clouds can be seen. Scholars believing in this have tried to identify places in the vicinity of Kurukshetra.29 David Frawley has cited Jaiminiya Brahma(III.64) which also mentions Saryanavat to be in Kurukshetra.30 There are 44 x many such instances where such lapses have crept in Indian literature. The Dadhyancha Legend Similarly the legend of Dadhyancha was also connected with Haridvara by Sanskrit scholars. The Rigveda (1.84.13-14) relates that “Indra, with the bones of Dadhichi, slew ninety times nine Vritras. Wishing for the horse’s head hidden in the mountains, he found it at Saryanavat.” Here the legend goes on that Dadhyancha (Dadhichi), the son of Atharvan, gave away his bones to Indra from which Tvashta fabricated thunderbolt for Indra to kill Vritra. Another story is that “Indra having taught the science called Pravrgya vidya and Madhu-vidya to Dadhyancha, threatened that he would cut off his head if ever he taught them to anyone else; the Asvins prevailed upon him, nevertheless, to teach them the prohibited knowledge, and to evade Indra’s threat, took off the head of the sage, replacing it by that of a horse; Indra, apprised of Dadhyanch’s breach of faith, struck off his equine head with the thunderbolt; on which the Asvins restored to him his own.”31 mountains at Saryanavat. Dadhyancha is again mentioned in the hymn 116.12 of the same mandala which is addressed to Asvins. Thus the story of Dadhyancha completes as regards Indra and Asvins. The Zeravshna in Sogdiana The venue of the happenings was Saryanavat which was in the vicinity of some mountain. But it is not clear if it was a place, river, lake or mountain. Scholiast, however, call it a lake in near Kurukshetra. But, however, as we have mentioned this can be identified with Zeravshan in Central Asia. We are inclined to identify Rgvedic river Sushoma of Nadi-sukta with the river Zeravshan. “Zeravshan Valley (also Zarafshan or Zarafshon) is situated in northern Tajikistan, embedded between the impressive mountain ranges of the western Pamir-Alai massive. “Zeravshan” – which means “Golden River” in Tajik- is the main stream which crosses the valley and which supplies its inhabitants with a most precious resource: water. The area is famous for its unique mountain landscape and its beautiful lakes: the Alauddin lakes, the Kulikalon lakes, Iskanderkul lake, the seven lakes of Shing among many others. … The Tajik ancestors – fire worshippers called Sogdians- have lived more than 1500 years along the Zeravshan valley- a history which is still visible at the Old Penjikent archaeological site and the remote Yangob valley.”32 Citation from the Columbia Encyclopedia: Zeravshan. “Zeravshan, river, c. 460 mi (740 km) long, rising in Turkistan Range of Pamir-Alai mountain system, in Tajikistan. It flows westward through the agricultural Zeravshan valley, then into Uzbakistan, past Samarkand and Bokhara, and disappears in the desert near the Amu Darya, N of Charjew. Why C entra l Asia Thesis of Ved ic C iviliza tion x45 The valley, irrigated by the Katta-Kurgan reservoir, is one of the chief oases of Central Asia and is on the site of the ancient Sogdian. The Zeravshan Mountains, forming the southern watershed of the river, rise to c.18, 480 ft (5630 m)…. It rises at 39°35’E/ 39.5°N 70°58' on the fringes of the Pamirs in Tajikistan, flowing due west for some 300km, passing Penjikent before entering Uzbekistan at 39°32N 67°27'/39°53'N 67°45'E, where it turns west-to-north-west, flowing past the legendary city of Samarkand, which is entirely dependent on the oasis thus created, until it bends left again to the west north of Navoiy and futher to the southwest, passing Bukhara before it loses itself in the desert beyond the city Karakul, not quite reaching the Amu Darya, of which it was formerly a tributary. The Zeravshan rang (or Zeravshan mountains) rises to the south of Sughd Province in Tajikistan, reaching the highest point of 5,489 m (Chimtarga peak) in its central part…. Zerafshan is also a city in Uzbekistan’s Navoiy Province, called “the gold capital of Uzbakistan”.” Thus, if our identification of Saravan of the puranas with Saryanavat of Rgveda, which was in the vicinity of the mountain Maunjavat, and which is non other than Zeravshan in the Pamirs, is accepted, there can be no doubt that this region was the place where these hymns of the Vedas were created by rishis. Then it were the mountains of Meru (i.e. Pamir) and Saryanavat where Vedic god Indra killed Vritra and found the horse-head of Dadhyancha. Archaeology and Dadhyancha Legend Now we can recall the Sintashta culture, in Soviet Russia, where ‘one burial contained the corpse of a decapitated victim whose head had been replaced by that of a horse’ and archaeologists find ‘reason to connect the fate of this individual with Dadhyanch myth of Rgveda’.33 But it may be noted that though the burial reminds of the Vedic story; it cannot be related to the incident. Due to certain constraints we are not going to refer to other archaeological finds of Andronovo and Kurgan cultures and also of BMAC etc. that scholars have correlated with Vedic culture. Linguistic Evidence Now we can turn to the realm of linguistics. Indian scholars are not only suspicious of linguistic studies of Vedic and Sanskrit languages by Indo-Europeanists but also feel anguish about the tyrannical application of it. Bhagwan Singh is one among these. He observes: “The Indo-European problem is predominantly a linguistic one, but the field of Indo-European studies is the slaughter house of linguistic theories. It may appear strange, but it is true that the problem was never discussed 46 x linguistically. There can be two approaches to a study- scientific and pseudoscientific. The first relies on hard data and verifiable laws and ends with findings which enjoy sanctity for what they are. The second arises from a priori assumptions, proceeds with pretensions of real quest, rejects the ‘unwanted’ results, and ends with equally fragile conjectures. The Indo-European problem starts with assumed Proto-Indo-European, Proto-Indo-Iranian and Proto-IndoAryan languages reconstructed on the basis of dubious phonetic laws are hostile to the hard linguistic data, and ends with a linguistic quagmire full of tricky jargons.”34 Another eminent scholar, Makkhan Lal writes: “Quite often, these practitioners of philology were so illogical, so incoherent, so absurd, so adamant and arrogant, and indeed their impact has been so devastating that it has aptly been termed as ‘linguistic tyranny’ by Jim Shaffer, an American archaeologist.”35 However, there are clinching linguistic evidences to show that Ilavritavarsha in Central Asia was a Sanskrit speaking region where a number of Sanskrit related languages are still being spoken, although there are Iranian influences as well on them. This is not something unnatural because of Iranian dominance in the area for quite some time. Yaska, in his Nirukta, says that people of Kamboja, i.e. Pamir region use the roots in their original sense while those in the Arya countries use derivatives. There is a Sanskrit word ‘Sava’ that means a ‘dead body’ in our languages. But this is not the meaning of the original root. Yaska, elaborating the prakriti (original) and the vikriti (derivative) uses of the roots, notes that the Kambojas use the word ‘Savatili’ in its original sense ‘going’ (savatirgatikarma kambojeshveva bhashyanta). And then after citing an example of vikara of the root ‘savati’, i.e. ‘going’, he mentions that here, in the Arya janapadas, its derivative meaning is in use in the sense of a dead body from which the life has gone.36 The Kaushitaki Brahmana is more specific on the point. It says that “The language in the north is pronounced with intelligence; people go to north to learn language, and whosoever comes from there people assemble to listen him.”37 It is interesting to note that during Panini’s time also the language of this region, which was none other than the Vedic one, was considered standard.38 Now we can examine languages of this region which are known as the Galcha group of languages. “Linguistic evidence, combined with literary and inscriptional evidence, has led many scholars of note to conclude that ancient Kambojas originally belonged to the Ghalcha-speaking area of Central Asia. For example, Yaska’s Nirukta (11.2) attests that the verb savati in the sense “to go” was used by only the Kambojas. It has been proven that the modern Ghalcha dialects, Valkhi, Shigali, Sriqoli, Jebaka (also called Sanglichi or Ishkashmi), Munjani, Yidga and Yagnobi, mainly spoken in Pamirs and countries on the headwaters of Oxus, still use terms derived from ancient Kamboja savati in the Why C entra l Asia Thesis of Ved ic C iviliza tion x47 sense “to go”. The Yagnobi dialect spoken in Yagnobi around the headwaters of Zeravshan (identified with Rgvedic Saryanavat/Sushoma river by us) in middle Sogdiana, also still contains a relic “Su” from ancient Kamboja saviti in the sense “to go”. Further, according to Sir G. Grierson, the speech of Badakshan was a Ghalcha till about three centuries ago when it was supplanted by a form of Persian.”39 It is well known that Old Persian of Avesta was a prakrita of Vedic Sanskrit, and, it is no wonder that, during Persian dominance in later periods, languages of this region have influenced these languages. But, however, the Europeanists have used this as a tool to colonial interests. They gave an opposite view on the issue. The authors of the Vedic Index write “Yaska, in his Nirukta, refers to the speech of the Kambojas as differing from that of the other Aryas.”40 Perhaps it was Sir Grierson who initiated this wrong assumption and his faulty inference was cited by all who followed him. This amounted to propaganda against India in favour of Iranian which suited their Aryan Invasion Theory. This propaganda is still continuing that Indo-Iranians were a branch of Indo-Europeans from where Indo-Aryans emerged and invaded India. We have dealt the Vedic roots of the Kambojas in some detail.41 Vahlika and Mujavant (also Mujavat) are mentioned in the Atharvaveda42 where the languages Valkhi and Maunjani are still spoken. The word Ghalcha or Galaca certainly was derived from Skt. “galda” (=speech).43 In Sanskrit ‘gala’, for throat and speech is in use in modern Punjabi and many other languages in Afghanistan. It is interesting to note that we have identified Druids/, as having their origin in this region only on the basis of having the name Gall. Concluding Notes This rather sketchy outline of Central Asian Thesis of Vedic Civilization is a preliminary note and is part of a comprehensive study. Many details have been left out that are being taken care of. It goes to explain many events of world history like dispersal and movements of people from Central Asia to different parts of the world. It is said in Mahabharata that “Meru stands in the middle where all were born.”44 Another verse from Valmiki Ramayana claims that “all people were created by me and all were of single colour, similar form with one language.”45 This is in accordance with biblical belief about the origin of man and language. In the light of Vedic and Puranic details the biblical narrations appear crude caricatures by ignorant people who derived their knowledge from hearsay. This thesis reverses the Indo-European myth that people and tribes moved from west to east. Now it is possible to trace the origins the peoples like Druid- 48 x Celts, Greeks, Scythians, etc. from the Vedic people (i.e. Manu) in Central Asia.46 For example we can relate the Celts or Gauls with Ghalcha speaking people, whose priests, the Druids, maintained high standards of Vedic learning of 20 years course of study. In fact most of European people claim to be the descendants of Danu.47 The Russians trace their origin from Rusi, Rusik who can identified with the Rshika people described in the Mahabharata. Under the aegis of this theory it is also possible to explain as to how the Mitanni and other Indo-Aryan peoples could bypass the Iranians and retain Vedic religion and deities like Indra, Nasatyas in Mesopotamia. David Frawley’s observation about Ila is interesting: “The Persians call their homeland Ila. Elam, an ancient kingdom in southwest Iran, may be related term and is a very ancient kingdom comparable to Sumeria. The Tamilians call their kingdom Ila or Ealam. The Semitic term for god as Il, as in Elohim, Allah (Al illah) may also be related to Vedic Ila r Il as Agni (the burning bush of Moses). The Phoenicians also worshipped Il. Their God Baal is ba-il. The term Ila, therefore, contains some of humanity’s oldest and most enduring ideas of divinity. It suggests Ila-Varta as the original homeland of humanity, particularly as a place of spiritual origins and guidance.”48 Even the Mitanni used the term ‘Ilu’ or ‘Ilani’ prefixed to Vedic gods Mitra, Varuna, Nasatyas and Indra. The name of Ila had assumed many forms in west Asian cultures to denote a god or goddess. Before concluding it must be explained as to how the Indian subcontinent became the centre of Vedic culture. In fact Afghanistan, including Ilavartavarsha at Meru or Pamir region, later called Kamboja, culturally remind within the fold of Vedic civilization till about eleventh century CE, after that Islamic forces overpowered them. A continues series of records is available to show that whole country, from northern Afghanistan to Kanyakumari, was culturally one unit and was known as Bharata, the land of the Bharatas. The Vedas recognize Ilavartavarsha on the Meru as the navel or the centre of the earth where the first Agni was established for worship. This was the prime region where Indra is said to have killed the demon Vritra and released fresh glacier waters from the mountains, which for the Vedic rishis was as precious as milk for all sorts of life. The famous Aila or Lunar and the Solar families sprang from there and spread all over the world. According to Vamsa Brahmana a long list the Vedic teachers starting from Kamboja Aupamanyava, flourished there. He is mentioned in the Satpatha Brahmana at the top of the list. The Vamsha Brahmana belongs to Samveda, dedicated to Soma that used to grow at Maujavat Mountain. Again, the northern most site of the Harappan civilization is located at Shortughai in northern Afghanistan. In the sixth century BCE Kamboja and Gandhara were included among the sixteen Mahajanapadas of India. Asoka also speaks of Yona (i.e. IndoGreeks) and Kambojas within his empire. During the Kushna period we find epigraphical references from Mathura about ‘the Lord of Wakhna (Vakanapati)’.49 Why C entra l Asia Thesis of Ved ic C iviliza tion x49 We also hear of Bhiksu Budharakshita from a sangha from Badakhshan (Vadakshasya) near Pamir.50 There was a Tokhari Tila near Mathura from where statues of Kushana kings were recovered.51 This suggests that the Kushanas were known to us as Tokharians. The Mehrauli Iron Pillar near Delhi records that king Chandra conquered Bahlika (Bactria) having crossed the seven mouths the river Sindhu.52 In the tenth century one Khotanese king (now in China) calls him ‘Gaustana bala chakravarti-rajeshvara’, the ‘ekachhattra of Jambudvipa’. He again informs in this inscription, written in Kharoshthi script, that ‘in this continent of Jambudvipa are sixteen countries, there are eighty-six thousand cities in the continent of Jambudvipa.’53 The Khotanese called their country Gaustana (i.e. place of Cow). Is it not intriguing that Indian scholars, following the footsteps of their foreign brethren, have tried to place these regions within the boundaries of the British Empire? It is regrettable that since about two centuries Indians are repeatedly being told that the British India was the limit of their country; and a false statement tends to become true only by repeating like a mantra. Any inclination to peep beyond the western frontiers of British India was sneered upon. The situation has not changed much. We are aware that some of our Indian fellow scholars also may not like the idea that there was a time when the language of the Kambojas was regarded as the original Vedic language and the people of Aryavarta were using derivatives of the roots. One of the eminent scholars holds ‘Due to Sakas and Yavanas the Bahlika and Gandhara regions were cut off for some time from the political boundaries of Bharatavarsha and cultural ties with them was slacked. And therefore Patanjali has kept the country of the Sakas and Yavanas out of the Aryavarta and also out of realm of sishta Sanskrit.’54 But it is not possible to accept that language is something that can be kept in abeyance for a few centuries for any reason. With all reverence to him we cannot blame him for this because this was the academic trend of his time. We, now, do not treat Sakas, Yavanas (Greeks of Bactria), Kushanas and Hunas, etc. as invaders. In India they showed all reverence to religious and cultural practices followed by local Hindu rulers. Ujjayani, under the Kardamaka Sakas, remained the cultural capital of India for several centuries. These so-called foreign invaders never showed any disrespect to the established religious and cultural norms of the country. Rather they showed their readiness to preserve the varnasrama system of the Society. In the light of the Khotanes king Visha Dharma (978-82 AD), quoted above, we cannot believe in the colonial myth of Saka-Yavana invasions as foreigners invading India from Afghanistan and Central Asia. In fact, there seems a rush among these tribes to reach India and follow the rule of dharma. Their raids should be regarded not more than those of the Rashtrakuta raids in northern India. 50 x This thesis of Central Asia as a centre of Vedic civilization has solutions for many Indo-European problems like Proto-Indo-European language and quest for the original home.

The place has a religious importance from ancient days in India. When, Akbar reorganized his territorial boundaries by his empire. Allahabad became provincial capital and a fort was built on the confluence of two river Ganga and Yamuna.* People, from every walk of life, including mystics scholars from adjoining areas migrated here and a full fledge city was developed. Gradually a number of Khanqahs/Daeras (hospices) ** were established by different Silsilah (order). This paper seeks to provide biographical sketches of a number of medieval Sufi saints who flourished in Allahabad during the Mughal period. The information is based upon a number of important works and biographical dictionaries such as the Maasir-al Karam of Gulam Ali Azad Bilgrami, Zabda’t al Muqamat by Mohd. Hashim, Bahr-i Zakhkhar by Wajihuddin Ashraf, Anwarul Arifin by Hafiz Mohd. Husain, Nazhat ul Khwatin by Maulana Abdul Hai. Syed Muhibullah of Manikpur was Naqshbandiya sufi, contemporary of Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi (Mujadid-i Alfsani). He went Burhanpur to studied Naqshbandi practices. Zikr (Remembrance) from Mir Mohd. Noman. He also studied the idea of Shaikh A. Sirhindi as contained in the letters of Mujaddid the Naqshbandi. Having impressed, he visited Mujaddid and practiced under him. The various forms of Naqshbandiya contemplation and Zikr (Remembrance), Mujaddid sent him to Manikpur but he failed to make any impact upon the town folk and returned back to Allahabad where he led solitary life in Zikr-i-Khafi (silent Remembrance) rest of more detail of his life and activities are not known.1 Another prominent sufi of Allahabad was Khwaja Kalan Jhonsvi,2 who was the son of Nasiruddin Jhonsvi, after receiving his primary education from his father travelled the Jaunpur for higher studies. He spent many years in the company of learned Alim of Jaunpur and returned to Jhunsi. His father conferred his Khirqa-i Khilafat (cloak of succession) on him. He devoted major part of his life in the service of people of the region. He had a number of disciples among them, Shaikh Tyeb bin Moin Banarsi (d.1043AH/1633-34) was an eminent Sufi. * C/o Professor Tariq Ahmed, CAS, Dept of History, AMU (Aligarh) email : mzminhaj@gmail.com Mystic s-Sc hola rs of Alla ha b a d During 16th -17th C entury x53 He died in 1004 AH/1595-96 and was buried in Jhunsi.3 Shah Abdul Latief, the Qadri sufi of Akbar’s time, received the spiritual training under the guidance of Shaikh Raju Muhammad on Jaunpur. He was bestowed the khilafat of Qasbah Yahyapur (district Allahabad), here he established a khanqah which was known as Daera shah Rafiuzzama. He died in 1039 AH/ 1629-30. There is very little information regarding his life.4 Shah Abdul Jalil, born in 992AH/1504-05AD, at Allahabad. He was a chief disciple of Khir Shaikh Muhammad. Sadiq of Gangoh(Saharanpur). He was chishti sufi. He received Khir qa-i-Khilafat (Rob of Khilafat) and was send to Allahabad for spiritual mission. He was staunch supporter of Wahdat-ul wujud (unity of being). So many miracles are related to him. Once Allahabad had faced a heavy flood, he was staying near the river. The water was increasing all over his Khanqah and government officials were requesting to leave the place immediately but he refused to do so. He was in meditation; the water touched his place but slowly went back. He died in 1114 AH/1602 AD. His khanqah was a great place in spiritual circle. Dara Shikoh constructed a mosque adjoining to his khanqah.5 Shaikh Tajuddin Jhunsvi was son of Minhajuddin Siddiqi Jhonsvi. He was a prominent sufi and scholar of Islamic jurisprudence. His ancestor came from Delhi and settled down in Jhonsi (Allahabad). He received his primary education form Naseeruddin Jhonsvi and for higher studies went to Jaunpur, where Shaikh Noorullah bin Taha became his teacher. He wrote a boon on Tib (medicine), Tajul Mujribaat. He received spiritual training from two Silsilah (order), one from Suhrawardiya under the guidance of Abul Fath Zafrabadi and the second was Khwaja Kalan of Chishtiya order. But he preferred to spread out the teaching of Chishtiya order in lien of Suhrawardiya. He died in 1030 AH/1620-21 AD and was buried in Jhunsi.6 Shaikh Muhibullah Allahabadi born in 1587 at Sadrpur near Allahabad was a great name in the Sufi circle of North India. He completed his traditional education under the guidance of Maulana Abdus Salam Lahori. Sheikh Muhibullah completed traditional education and went out in search of a spiritual mentor to quench his mystical thrust. He visited many contemporary Chishti sufi centres and obsessed with mysticism. In the search of spiritual mentor came to Gangoh, Qasbah in Saharanpur district, where Shah Abu Said Gangohi, the grandson of Shaikh Abdul Quddus Gangohi had established a Khanqah. Shaikh Muhibullah impressed by his spiritual eminence and scholarship, decided to join the circle of his devotees. Later on, he settled at Allaahbad. He had a firm faith in Wahdat ul Wajud (Unity of Being) at the basis of all higher spiritual experiences. The doctrine caused him to be criticized severely. He went through the works of Ibn-ul Arabi, Fusus-ul Hikam and Futuhat Makkiya and found himself with the same views. 54 x Shaikh Muhibullah received spiritual sovereignty (Wilayat) of East. The other disciples depressed and complained that we are endeavoring for a pretty long time and never got the sweet water of union while Muhibullah did not taste the flavor (hardship) of meditation were slowed with such a blessing. Shaikh Abu Said replied that “Muhibullah was such a man that had brought candle in one hand and fire in the other; as soon as it was shifted it become lighted that was the grace of God which he bestowed upon whomever he liked how could be delay when God has hastened.7 As far as his scholarship is concerned, he was master of Arabic and Persian languages, written commentaries on Ibn-ul Arabi’s works, and alleged them not to adhere the originality of sense and meaning, one among such works was ‘Sharah Qari’, a commentary on ‘Fusus ul Hikam’ in Arabic. Though, it was too difficult for an ordinary man to go through Fusus ul Hikam. He realized that the Arabic commentary is not useful for scholars in India. So again, he wrote in Persian. He is the author of following works: Tarjumat-ul-Kitab : It is a commentary on the Quran in Arabic. Haft Ahkam,( regarding divine realities), IO DP 024. Hashiya Tarjumat-ul-Quran: this is a commentary on Tarjumat ul Kitab.

He had a great regard for the Shaikh and seek his guidance in mysticism. He had correspondent with Shaikh on many queries. In one of his queries he asked Shaikh that whether in administrative affairs of the state any discrimination is permissible between Hindus and Muslims. Shaikh replied “the Faqir is not in position to give exhort ion, the truth is this that the thought of well being of people must always remain in the heart of the rulers without any discrimination because all human beings are creature of God; and the prophet, who is the leader of this world and hereafter shows mercy to everyone without making distinction among the pious, sinner, believer and nonbelievers, as it is described in the Quran; we sent thee not save as mercy into all human beings”.9 Dara Shikoh due to his spiritual attachment accepted the viceroyalty of the Subah Allahabad. He had a number of disciples some are as follows: Mir Syed Muhammad Qannauji, Shaikh Muhammadi, Qazi Sadruddin. Shaikh Muhibullah died in 9th Rajab 1057 AH/1648 AD. Syed Muhammad Afzal, son of Syed Abdur Rehman, born in 28th October 1628/10-Rabi-ul Awal 1038 AH in Syedpur Bhitri, Ghazipur. He acquired the traditional learning of Ulum-i-din (Religious sciences) from Hamid Syedpuri. Shaikh Muhammad Arif and Shaikh Mah Banarsi in Ghazipur. Later on, he went to Kalpi for further study. Here, he got spiritual training as well as Khilafat from Mir Syed Muhammad Kalpvi, a Chistiya Sufi. On 5th Jamadi sani 1060/24 May 165010 at the instruction of his spiritual mentor (Pir) moved towards Allahabad and established a Daera (khanqah).11 It is very interesting that he was trained as Chishti but he followed Naqshbandi and propagated Qadri order. He was the ocean of sufistic thought and values. He was very simple living personality, devoted to people. Love of humanity was on his principles. He got prominence in his area. A number of miracles are related to him. He died in 15 Zil Hij 1124 AH/2 Jan. 1712 AD. He wrote many treatises such as, Kashf-ul-Istar-e-Sharah, Hafiz, Bin-ul-Jamhoor, Sharah Maulana Rum, Marsia-e-Rushd, Maktubat-e-Abe-Murshidi. These works are available in the library of Daera shah Ajmal in Allahabad.12 Shaikh Mohammad Yahya, commonly known as Shah Khoobullah Allahabadi son of Shah Muhammad Ameen was born in 1680 AH/1669 AD. He was nephew 56 x of Shah Afzal. When he was ten year old his father died. Then he came to Allahabad along with his uncle Shah Afzal and got academic as well as spiritual training from him. Shah Afzal later on appointed his Khalifa (successor).13 He was a well known Alim (scholar) and was known for follow Shariat strictly. His theological and sufistic works became popular among the contemporary ulema circles. Some of his works are as follows : Dafyat’l alam, Maakhiz-ul-Aeteqaq, Bish-Shaikh wal Murid, Khulasut ul Amal, Sharah salasiyat-i-Bukhari (commentary on the Bukhari -i), Bazaet -Mazjat, Sharah Risalae Makkiya(commentary on Risalai-Makkiya), Al-Kalam (on relationship between Pir and Murid). Wafyat-ul Alam.He was a miraculous sufi of his time. It is said that Shah Muhibullah Bihari (d. 1707/1119 AH) and Shah Amanullah Banarsi (d. 1119/1707) received the spiritual training under his guidance. Shah Khaabullah is said to have bestowed Khirqa-i-khilafat (cloak of succession) to his son Shah Mohammad Nasir Afzali (d. 1749 Ad). Shah Muhammad. Yahya died in 11 Jamadi Awal, 1144 AH/1731 Ad and was buried in the premises of Daera Shah Afzal.14 Shah Muhammad. Nasir was second son of Shah Khoobullah. His father enrolled him in the Khanqah of Shah Afzal. Here he obtained education as well spiritual training under his guidance. He wrote a number of books and treatises related to various aspects of Sufism such as Muntakhab-ul-Amal, Jawahar-i-Nafsiya and Azkar-i-Ashar. He died in 1749 AD, at Allahabad and was buried in premises of Rauza Shah Afzal.15 He wrote many treatises such as Qurat’l Aenen fi rafadyn, Noor ‘l Sittah, Durrat’l Tahqeeq.He was on the way to Hajj third time, died in Burhanpur, 1164AH/1751 AD, tomb is situated beside Shah Abdul Lateef Burhanpuri.16 Shah mohammad Fakhir Allahabadi has a poetic name ‘Zaer’.He was son of Khoobullah was a great mystic Alim, at the age of 21 received the Khirqa I khilafat (rob of succession) from his father. When, he was at the age of 28 th went to Makkah to perform Hajj, during the stay of Madina studied Hadith,from sheikh Muhammad Hayat Sindhi.

He wrote Masnavi Naan wa Quliya,and Bustan ul Hanfiya.He died in 1187AH/1773-7417During the time of later Mughals in Allahabad a number of Khanqahs/ flourished, Thus, we can say in the light of above mentioned work, the detailed description about the life sketches and the works produced by various Sufi saints of different orders made an intellectual ambience of Allahabad. We also get information that during medieval period Allahabad became very important Mystic s-Sc hola rs of Alla ha b a d During 16th -17th C entury x57 because of the presence of these Sufis and their contribution in establishing socio-religious harmony in the region.

Balaji* Preamble Gandhiji announced for a mass protest called salt satyagraha in 1930 in order to oppose and violate the Salt Act of the British Government in India.1 The response to the call of Gandhi was immense. People all over India entered into the vortex of the Gandhian politics.2 This monograph analyses the emergence of the people of Sholinganallur out of rage against the British’s exploitative Salt Law and surveys the measures taken by the British police to suppress the patriotic deeds of the people of Sholinganallur region.3 Sources of Data This paper is mainly based on the archival data.

To know about the suppressive and repressive measures taken by the British authorities to counter act the political deeds of the people of Sholinganallur region. Sholinganallur Salt Satyagraha : An Anti-British Action Salt Satyagraha was carried on at Sholinganallur, a village nearly six kilometers from Madras.4 It was led by Sankara Iyer and Munusamy Mudaliyar. On 15 April 1930 some 100 volunteers from North Arcot district planned to go Sholinganallur by bus to organize a salt agitation. Since they were prevented from getting into the bus by the police, they marched in a procession to Sholinganallur. The satyagrahis encamped at Sholinganallur from 17th April, 1930 onwards.5 The volunteers put up a shed in Sholinganallur with the materials supplied by the villagers. The satyagrahis were also supported by the leaders of Madras.6 T. Prakasam and others visited the Sholinganallur camp to support the salt movement and exhorted the villagers to support the satyagrahis. The leaders like Rangaiya Naidu and Munusamy Mudaliar explained the people why the Salt of Law should be broken. Their persuasion bore fruit and the villagers began to show interest in the activities of the satyagrahis. 7 They provided food, refreshment, accommodation and other essentials to the satyangrahis. The satyagrahis had dug a pan about 6 x 4 feet and took the water from the Buckhingham canal in the hope of getting salt.8 But the salt pans did not yield any good result, so the volunteers tried their luck by digging pans in a nearby village called Semmancheri. Here also the volunteers did not meet with any good result.9 So the satyagrahis advised the people not to buy salt. They asked them to cook food with salt water obtainable from Buckhingham canal. Besides, attempting to break the Salt-Law by boiling sea water, meetings were organized all most all the days from April, 1930 at Sholinganallur and nearby villages in order to obtain the support of the public. Even Anti-British processions were organized which went into the villages nearby Sholinganallur.10 The people on many occasions opposed the British by not allowing the salt officials to visit their villages. At Sholinganallur dramas were enacted to explain to the people the existing political situation in India.11 One Shankaran was an effective public speaker who was very popular among the local people. The following figure shows the dimensions of the salt satyagraha at Sholinganallur. 60 x Fig. 1 Dimensions of the Salt Satyagraha Meeting Breaking of Salt Law Procession Dimension of Salt Satyagraha Hartal Publicity by Enacting Dramas Non-cooperating with Government Officers On the other side the government started suppressing the salt satyagraha. 12 The District Magistrate proceeded to Sholinganallur village and stayed there on 18.4.1930. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate, the Stationery Sub-Magistrate and the Reserve Police were already there. The next day Sholinganallur salt pans drained off by salt peons.13 Hence, the satyagrahis prepared fresh pans. They threatened the village munisif for resignation and came in to clear police officials. The villagers evinced sympathy for the satyagrahis.14 The Reserve Police encamped in the village were jeered at. The District Magistrate decided to take more severe action. Appadurai Naicken, a Congress activist of the village, was convicted under section 143 I.P.C. by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Saidapet, and then released. The District Magistrate also took action against the popular congressites of the region.15 A congress volunteer from the Hindustan Seva Dal addressed a number of meetings. Durgabai, Mrs. Lakshmipathi and Bakthavatsalam visited the place and geared up the congress activities.16 It was proposed to March in a procession with pots to the beach on their leadership on 2nd May, 1930. Consequently the Sub-Magistrate, Saidapet, issued an order under section 144 Cr. PC. It insisted the satyagrahis not to do anything politically within the radius of five miles of the place. Hence, the proposed procession was abandoned. On 9 May 1930 a meeting of loyalists was convened by the District Magistrate. Only a select few were invited. It was decided to form committees and carry on Ang er, Ac tion a nd Rea c tion : A Dia log ue b etw een the Sa lt Sa tya g ra his ... x61 Table – 1 List of Persons Arrested in Connection with Shollinganallur Salt Satyagraha S.No. Name and Address 1.

The volunteers made eight more pans in May 1930 and filled two of them with salt water. Ten of the volunteers left for Madras and ten more took their places.18 On 6 May 1930, two volunteers, Shankar and Swami Shanmugananda were convicted and sentenced to six months’rigorous imprisonment each by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Saidapet, under 117 I.P.C. and 74 Salt Act.19 This was the beginning of imprisonments in this district. One Thambu was also aware of imprisonment. A villager Ponnan Ganapathi Naicker was charge-sheeted before the Stationary Sub-Magistrate for harbouring the satyagrahis. An order under section 144 Cr.P.C. was promulgated by the Stationary Sub-Magistrate, Saidapet applying it to the whole taluk and the volunteers were cleared out of the place by the police on 16 May.20 The shed put up for their sojourn was dismantled. The volunteers began to frequent the village and other places in Saidapet taluk but as often as they appeared so often were they arrested and put into a bus and dropped on tie road some miles off. This ended the activities of the volunteers to an extent.21 On 2 June about 150 to 200 of the villagers assembled behind the village temple under the leadership of one Muthukannu Naicken of the place to hold a meeting in defiance of the order under section 144 Cr.P.C. The Sub-Inspector and his men ordered the assembly to disperse. The villagers dispersed but assembled again and threw stones and brickbats at the police. Three constables were injured. Fire was opened and the villagers dispersed.22 When the police were returning the villagers again followed them in the rear and pelted stones at them.23 Fire was opened again and again the villagers dispersed. The police on their way back to their camp entered a casuarina tope when the villagers for a third time attacked them. The police again fired and finally cleared the villagers. On the whole nine buck shots and 28 ball cartridges were fixed.24 But only one was killed and two wounded, because it was night time and the villagers were protected by the casuarinas tope. Twelve policemen were injured and four of them were injured badly. After this quiet was restored and Sholinganallur saw the end of the Satyagraha activities. One Kusappa Naicken and 12 others of the village were convicted. The reserve force there was withdrawn during the last week of June 1930. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION The people of Sholinganallur region much instilled by patriotic fervour organized and participated it themselves in salt satyagraha. Theirs was successful.

The genesis of the problem lies in the wide seasonal fluctuation of the average discharge of about 100000 cusec is more than adequate, the lean month (especially from mid April to mid May) pose difficulty in meeting the water requirements of both India and Bangladesh. The Ganga waters dispute began in 1951 when India decided to build a Ganga barrage at Farakka in order to divert water from Ganga to the Bhagirathi-Hoogli to make Calcutta part navigable through out the year which is situated on the confluence of the rivers. The Barrage was constructed in West Bengal and is 17 kilometers away from the India-Bangladesh border and is 22.8 meters high and 2120 meters long. Though in this research paper an attempt has been made to find the some objectives that are what is the nature of the dispute of the Ganga water sharing? How the treaty came into existence for the resolution if this dispute and to what extent it is good for resolution? The crux of the problem is sharing of waters in the lean season which has been identified in the intergovernmental agreement as January 1st to May 31. The primary purpose of the Farakka Barrage was the diversion of a part of the water of the Ganga to the Bhagirathi/Hoogli arm for arresting the deterioration of Calcutta part; and the secondary purpose was to protect Calcutta’s drinking and industrial water supply from the incursion of salinity.1 This construction was necessary for India because Sir Arthur Cotton in 1858, Stevenson Moore in 1919, Sir William Willcocks in 1930 and other engineering experts had suggested that the water of Ganga flowing into the Bhagirathi was of utmost important for keeping the water way safe for navigation to the sea. Keeping this in mind, the chairperson of the Bangal Boundary Commission awarded to India Murshidabad district (where Farakka is situated) although it was a pre-dominantly Muslims area and gare Khulna district to Pakistan by way of compensation, where the Hindus were in a majority.2 When India started to construct Farakka barrage in 1951, Pakistan government objected it. The government of Pakistan characterized this as a threat to her * Research Scholar, Department of Political Science, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra (Haryana). Ind o-Ba ng la d esh Ga ng a Wa ter Trea ty a n Ana lysis x65 security and had argued that such an action would jeopardize the irrigation projects of East Pakistan and that under international law India is not entitled to proceed with its construction unilaterally. But India assured Pakistan that Farakka barrage would not disturb the irrigation schemes of East Pakistan.3 On coming into existence of Bangladesh amicably in view of positive and helpful role played by Indian Government during the liberation struggle of Bangladesh. Under the leadership of Shiekh Mujibur Rahman Bangladesh’s relations with India were cordial. But Bangladesh objected the constitution of this project on these grounds that (a) It will affect her water development projects such as Ganga-Kobadak irrigation project, the Dhaka Northwest Project, the Pabna project, the Faridpur-Baridpal-Barisal project. (b) River navigation, the heart of Bangladesh transport network. (c) It will affect crop and plant life by lowering the ground water level (d) It will have adverse effect on river and estuarine fisheries etc.4 The most significant achievement of the bilateral consultation after the emergence of Bangladesh under Mujib leadership was the creation of a Joint River Commission during Indira Gandhi’s visit to Dhaka in 1972.5 This Joint River Commission comprising of the experts of the both countries on a permanent basis to carry out a comprehensive survey in the fields of flood controls. The experts were also directed to study the irrigation projects on the major river system and examine the feasibility of linking of power grids of Bangladesh with the adjoining areas of India so that the water resources of area could be utilized on equitable basis6 The complex issues of Farakka were temporarily resolved through an interim agreement of April 18, 1975. Under an interim and short term agreement reached at Dhaka it was agreed that India was to draw a specified quantity of water for its feeder canal for the benefit of Calcutta port. The following scheme was fixed: Period Daily withdrawal of waters 21 to 30 April 11000 cusec 1 May to 20 May 12000 cusec 21 May to 31 May 16000 cusec The remaining water was to flow to Bangladesh.7 It was further agreed that a joint team of experts would surprise and observe the effect of withdrawal on Bangladesh and the Hoogly River. This agreement according to Mr. JagJivan Ram who was then Minister of Agriculture and irrigation was a “break-through” and set an example of mutual understanding and accommodation. But after the assassination of Sheik Mugibur Rahman in August 1975, the Bangladesh Government started maligning India at every opportunity accusing her of taking 66 x all the waters of Ganges. The Farakka issues which had received enough publicity through controlled press and other media became the kingpin in the relations between India and Bangladesh.8 Bangladesh internationalized the issue on November 16, 1976, Mr. J.S.Mehta, foreign Secretary of India said in specially committee of the U.N. on the Farakka issue that the distinguished representative of Bangladesh stated that Bangladesh required 49000 cusec water which is a false figure and no data had given for the explanation of this figures. He also said that it is a bilateral question and United Nations, should encourage the process.9 Bangladesh also raised this issue at Islamic foreign Ministers Conferences (May 1976) and in the Non Aligned Assembly at Colombo in August 1975. Bangladesh argued that India is violating International Law. However it is clear, therefore that the decision of the Indian Government in building the Farakka barrage is not contrary to the rules of international law. India’s stand is justifiable according to customary rule of international law and according to Hormon Doctorine. The saving of Calcutta port is a matter of vital urgency for India and diversion of water in order to flush slitt off from the port is only way to achieve that legitimate objective.10 India’s position can also justifiable under Helsinki Conference Rules 1966 as a state can make a use of international river under article 13 which determine the reasonable use of international river for social and economic needs of the state but without disturbing any existing condition.11 Bangladesh’s allegation of ‘unilateral upstream diversion’ of waters was false and baseless. Hence India had not violated any principle of international law.12 On this issue China began to support Bangladesh. A “Beijing Review” commentary accused India of having arbitrarily built the Farakka barrage to the deteriment of the interest of Bangladesh Farakka issue was exploited by china not only to strengthen its relation with Bangladesh but tarnish India’s image in the region.1 India wanted to resolve the problems with their neighbours also at cost of some loss. The issue of sharing of Ganga waters at Farakka was partly resolved by mutual agreement signed between the two countries in Dhaka on November 5, 1977.14 India agreed to release as much as 34500 cusec (i.e., 63 percent out of the 55000 cusec to Bangladesh, keeping only 20500 cusec i.e., 37 percent) as India’s share. In India general opinion was that this was an excessively generous to Bangladesh. In case of unusual lean flow of water India was ready to provide 80 percent of its stipulated share. But nothing came out of these proposals. After the change in government in both countries Mrs. Indira Gandhi in Ind o-Ba ng la d esh Ga ng a Wa ter Trea ty a n Ana lysis x67 India and Lt. General H.M. Ershad in Bangladesh came to power. The new government in India felt that agreement of 1977 was harmful to Indian interest but accepted it as a legacy of Janata rule. They wanted a new solution or settlement of dispute.15 A memorandum of understanding was signed in Delhi on October 7, 1982 where both the leaders agreed to terminate the 1977 Farakka agreement. The memorandum provided for the sharing of waters for the next dry season.16 In February 1984 both the sides presented their proposals to each other. India advocated for a barrage across the Brahmaputra at Joghigopa to be linked with a 324 kilometers long canal passing through Bangladesh and joining Farakka. Secondly India wanted to construct three dams on Dihang, Subansiri in Arunachal Pradesh and Tipaimukh in Barak on Myoram-Manipur border. Bangladesh on the other hand wanted 12 dams to be constructed in Nepal and storage to be built at Chisapani, Kali Gandaki I and II, Trishul Ganga, Seti, Sapta Kosi and Pancheswar, this meant including Nepal to solve the water problem. Both the countries rejected each other proposals.17 On November 22, 1985 a three year agreement was signed which give a temporary solution to the problem. Bangladesh’s irrigation minister came to Delhi to sign this agreement. This the renewation of the MOU of 1982 (i.e., the 1977 agreement without the guarantee clause. Under guarantee clause if the lowest flow of Farakka fell below 75 percent of the standard flow which governed the schedule, the difference between that and the standard flow was to be shared on 50:50 basis by two sides).18 After the MOU of 1985 lapsed in 1988 there was no agreement or understanding between the two countries for several years. There were no serious efforts to enter into discussion with a view to find a lasting solution of the problem. After 1988 in the absence of any agreement India gradually increased the diversion towards the Bhagirathi-Hoogli arm, leading to renewed complaints from Bangladesh.19 In 1993 Bangladesh Prime Minister Khalida Zia also raised this issue in General Assembly of UNO. She accused India about the unilateral withdrawal of waters from the barrage. She said that India is harming the Bangladesh rights.20 The environment changed on this issue after the formation of new governments in both countries, the prime minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina and Indian Prime Minister H.D.Dewe Gowda signed this historic treaty on the sharing of the Ganges waters in New Delhi on December 12, 1996. Under ‘30 year Ganges Water Treaty’21 on sharing on Ganges water arrangement have been 68 x made to share the water in following way : Period (1949-88) Average of total flow India’s share Cusec (cusec) Bangladesh’s share (cusec) Jan 1-10 107516 40000 67516 11-20 97673 40000 57673 21-31 90154 40000 50154 Feb 1-10 86323 40000 46323 11-20 82859 40000 42859 21-28 79106 40000 39106 Mar 1-10 74419 39419 35000 11-20 68931 33931 35000 21-31 64688 35000 29688 Apr 1-10 63180 28180 35000 11-20 62633 35000 27633 21-30 60992 25992 35000 May 1-10 67351 35000 35351 11-20 73590 38590 35000 21-31 81854 40000 41854 It was a landmark event in India- Bangladesh relations. It symbolized that given political commitment and goodwill; these two countries can resolve even the most interactable of problems between them. The treaty also sent a salutary signal to other South Asian Countries that despite asymmetry between India and its small neighbours, given the political will, determination, a positive attitude and goodwill, other neighbours of India could also strive to resolve differences with their large neighbour amicably.22 The resolution of Farakka dispute has also strengthened India’s democratic regime in Dhaka, improved India’s image in the world in general power like US and China.23 However this treaty was criticized on some grounds in Bangladesh like this treaty specify maximum withdrawal by India and minimum availability to Bangladesh in ten days segment from January 1st to May 31 each year. However Bangladesh still feel they have been shortchanged as project that require more water such as Ganga Kohadak project benefiting primarily Khulna division can not be carried out. Also decrease flow of Ganga in Bangladesh also harm the Sundarbans, an international environment site shared with India.24it was clear in the Bangladesh National Party (BNP) manifesto of 2001 election that if the party comes to power it would seek appropriate changes in the 30 years agreement on Ind o-Ba ng la d esh Ga ng a Wa ter Trea ty a n Ana lysis x69 water sharing with India.25 In India there was some criticism on expected lines in West Bengal but it was fairly muted. At the national level the BJP questioned the treaty but this seemed as a pro forma move rather than a serious criticism based on a careful analysis. There have been some complaints in Bihar and Utter Pradesh that their needs have been kept in mind in the treaty, but these became silent after centre government assurance.26 It is felt in Bangladesh that this treaty is not working properly because Bangladesh not getting the proper quantity of waters allotted to her. Its main cause is lean flow of water in March. According to Ramaswamy R Iyer four factors are responsible for this (1) low flows (2) alternate 10 days patterns (3) Farakka-Hardinge Bridge discrepancy (4) Gorai problem.27 So these are the problems created by the nature and not by the man. So the Ganga water treaty is based on the principle of no harm to either side. It is fair to say that the upper riparian state, in planning its own water uses, should keep the interest of lower riparian state in mind and refrain from causing undue injury or distress to it. India kept this thing in mind and due to this the Ganga Water treaty came into existence. In practical terms, this may not cause any difficulty in the near future. This treaty successfully solves the dispute of sharing of Ganges waters between India and Bangladesh. This is a fair treaty but differences in perceptions at some stages do exist. This will need to be avoided by wisdom and goodwill on both sides. REFERENCES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Prob lem s a nd Protec tion of Mig ra nt La b ours’in Ind ia x71 Problems and Protection of Migrant Labours’ in India Sudha Jain * Migration is much larger phenomenon encompassing half of the workforce in informal sector. The Governments are encouraging external migration for remittances and internal migration for cheap labour to meet the profits of finance capital. The problem of Migrant Labour is too huge and requires cooperation and coordination between trade unions and other social factors. The movements for the recognition of migrant workers rights are gaining support. Eventually even the states must come to recognize these rights by ratifying the United Nations Convention for the protection of the rights of all migrant workers. Social workers and their role in the intervention of migrant workers’ problem can help by applying different strategies. Migration is an important feature of human civilization. It reflects human endeavor to survive in the most testing conditions both natural and manmade. Migration in India is in existence historically, but, in the context of Neo Liberal Globalization assumes special significance, for Trade Unions and Civil Society. As a consequence of the neo-liberal policies followed by the successive Governments, there are serious income disparities, agrarian distress, inadequate employment generation, vast growth of informal economy and the resultant migration from rural areas to urban, urban to urban and backward to comparatively advanced regions in the most appalling conditions. Under the pressure from the International Finance Capital, Governments both Central &Provincial are further de-regulating the labour markets and further enlargement of the informal sector. In the given context Migrant Labour poses a serious threat and challenge to Civil Society in general and Trade Unions in particular. Causes of Migration Migration in India is mostly influenced by social structures and pattern of development. The development policies by all the governments since Independence have accelerated the process of migration. Uneven development is the main cause of Migration. Added to it, are the disparities, Inter regional amongst different socio-economic classes. The landless poor who mostly belong to lower castes, indigenous communities and economically backward regions *Assistant Professor, Indore School of Social Work, Indore (Madhya Pradesh). 72 x constitute the major portion of Migrants. In the very large tribal regions of India intrusion of outsiders, settlements by the outsiders displacing the local tribal people and deforestation also played a major role in Migration. Conditions of Migrant Labours In terms of employment, construction is the largest sector in India after agriculture. Most of the labours in construction are migrant labours. The working hours are from sunrise to sunset. The working day of women often stretches from 14 to 16 hours, combining house work and work at site. On the site, women are paid Rs. 80-90 a day while men are paid Rs. 100-175. Masons earn up to Rs. 175-250 a day. The work place is unsafe. The workers have no social security, compensation to injuries, access to drinking water, and health care. India has the world’s highest accident rate among construction workers. A recent study by the International Labor Organization shows that 165 out of every 1,000 workers are injured on the job. (NSS report,2007) There are 20 million domestic workers mostly migrants from rural India. Regular streams of new migrants, leaving behind, scorched fields and emaciated families in the tribal belts of Bihar, Orissa, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Assam, and Mizoram for Mumbai, Delhi and other Metros. They are desperate to join the army of domestic workers. They are willing to work for much less than those who are already working. They are victims of constant verbal and sexual abuse, working without any grievance redressal mechanism. Worsening their situation are the local Governments’ brutal eviction drives – dislocating and destabilizing the lives of the very people without whom the cities would come to a crippling halt. Further, they have to live in make shift tents with plastic covers. They are forced to bathe and defecate out in the open. As they are migrant workers, they do not possess Public Distribution System (PDS) Cards and hence forced to buy food grains and kerosene at higher market prices. The ruling elite which consider Child Labour as a menace little realize that it is a natural consequence of migrations. The next large group of migrant workers consists of sex workers whose earnings get shared among seven heads like pimp, landlady, police, protector, money lender, medical practitioner and groceries supplier. In mining sector, adult miners are paid Rs.100/- rupees per day. Teenagers get Rs.9/- for every puttu (iron basin). Small scale mining notorious for massive employment is highly productive and profitable to the employers. In fact it is polluting, unsafe, disruptive, and in many cases, outside regulatory regimes. In addition, rampant corruption, lack of safety standards, medical care, protective gear and appropriate technologies make small-scale mining a hazardous occupation. Workers often pay for their food, fuel, water and medical expenses if they are injured at work. Prob lem s a nd Protec tion of Mig ra nt La b ours’in Ind ia x73 Magnitude of Migration Migration in India is predominantly short distance with around 60% of migrants changing their residences within their district of birth and 20% within their state (province), while the rest move across the state boundaries. The total migrants as per the census of 1971 are 167 million persons, 1981 census 213 millions, 1991 census 232 million and 2001 census 315 millions. As per the census of the year 1991, nearly 20 million people migrated to other states seeking livelihood. Within a decade, the number of interstate migration doubled to 41,166,265 persons as per the census figures of 2001. It is estimated that, the present strength of interstate migrants is around 80 million persons of which, 40 million are in the construction industry, 20 million as domestic workers, 2 million as sex workers, 5 million as call girls and somewhere from half a million to 12 million in the illegal mines otherwise called as “small scale mines”. It is estimated that at present around five and a half million Indians are working in the oil exporting countries of middle-east and another 2 millions in the developed world. 92% of the domestic workers are women, girls and children and 20% of these females are under 14 years of age, as per a study conducted by an organization Called “Social Alert”. There is a perceptible phenomenon in this migration, that is, the tremendous increase of women workers migrating either individually or in groups to find work. They are travelling very long distances even for short-term employment, in the absence of any prospect or promise of employment, still they are migrating. This is a disturbing trend, as in the event of not getting employment, they end up as victims of sexual abuse. Even if they get employment, they have to work under in-human conditions. Migrant Labourers face additional problems and constraints as they are both labourers and migrants. Hence, there is no improvement in the working and living conditions of the migrant workers. There is lack of sincerity on the part of the Rulers and Policy Makers in ensuring compliance of the barest minimum of the so called legislation. There are no structures to adequately address the basic issues concerning migrant labour relations, leave aside, addressing the whole gamut of labour relations. The reasons are obvious. The Government desires large pool of cheap migrant labour, be made available to the capital, both Domestic and Foreign. The Indian Judiciary occasionally comes to the rescue of the Migrant Labour and makes pronouncements and observations to fill the gap in the justice delivery system. Inspite, the Rulers and Policy makers conveniently ignore and bypass with impunity. Legislation failed, because, Regulatory mechanisms are over stretched, inadequately structured, manpower deficient and resource crunched. State lacks sincerity, yet, Migrant workers are not organized sufficiently to lobby and form 74 x a pressure group. There is lack of support from civil society. One noteworthy enactment to address seasonal migration is Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), which guarantees 150 days of employment in a year. The rate of daily wages is, as per the Minimum Wage applicable to that territory. Though the Act was announced with much fanfare, it did not really take-off the ground, as there is neither political will nor social commitment and hence it largely remains on paper. It is implemented successfully only in a very few places which is a miniscule. In most cases the funds are canalized to vested interests. Lack of organizational structures, awareness, desire on the part of the trade unions and Civil Society Organisations permit such deprivation and exploitation. It is a sad commentary upon the conduct of the Trade Unions and Civil Society Organizations in the cause of the Migrant Labour. Legal Provisions The Government of India made an enactment in 1979 in the name of “Inter-state Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act 1979”. Though the act covers only interstate migrants, it lays down that contractors must pay timely wages equal or higher than the minimum wage, provide suitable residential accommodation, prescribed medical facilities, protective clothing, notify accidents and causalities to specified Authorities and kin. The Act provides right to raise Industrial Disputes in the provincial jurisdiction where they work or in their home province. The act sets penalties including imprisonment for noncompliance. At the same time the act provides an escape route to principal employers if they can show that transgressions were committed without their knowledge. Needless to say, that the Act remained only on the paper. First step on a long journey Some Trade unions and Non-Governmental organizations though very small in number made sincere efforts to alleviate the problems of the migrant workers.IMF initiated an effort to organize the Migrant Workers at the Ship breaking Yard at Mumbai and Alang through Steel, Metal & Engineering workers’ Federation of India (SMEFI). These Migrant Workers were organized in the existing union Mumbai, Port Trust, Dock and General Employees’ Union (MPTDGEU) by amending the constitution and reducing the rates of subscription. Non-economic demands like civic amenities, Occupational, Health and Safety (OHS) and social problems were taken up. The beginning was to provide safe drinking water at the workplace. As a next step, First Aid Boxes were provided and Blood Donation Camps were organized with the help of St. Johns Ambulance. Identity badges/Membership Cards were issued. Mohalla Committee (Neighborhood Committee) was set up to integrate these Migrant Workers to Prob lem s a nd Protec tion of Mig ra nt La b ours’in Ind ia x75 bridge the language and cultural gaps. NGO’s were involved and collaboration with them really helped in organizing the workers. The union encountered stiff resistance from employers, money lenders, local mafias and apathy from Government agencies. The Supreme Court of India appointed a Monitoring Committee, while disposing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the famous Clemenceau case. The Migrant Workers Union submitted a memorandum on socio-economic conditions of the Migrant Workers and it is considered by the Apex Court as a source of reference. This effort spread to Alang which is the largest Ship breaking Yard in the state of Gujarat. The Alang Shipbreaking workers came into the fold of this initiative and registered the first ever union of Shipbreaking workers in India. As on date the union membership stands at 5,705.As part of this initiative, training programmes and workshops were conducted exclusively for Migrant workers. It is an amazing experience that the Migrant Workers spoke about themselves in their language and took active part in decision making effort for redressal of their grievances. There are some efforts like these, but they are not strong enough to build pressure in the corridor of powers to represent the legitimate and genuine issues of Migrant Labour. Some voluntary groups and nongovernmental organizations also have taken up the issues of migrant workers. The road ahead Migration will be much larger phenomenon encompassing half of the workforce in informal sector. The Governments are encouraging external migration for remittances and internal migration for cheap labour to meet the profits of finance capital. The problem of Migrant Labour is too huge and requires cooperation and coordination between trade unions and other social actors. Trade Unions being a dynamic and vibrant social institution can contribute to social change in a big way, provided, they absorb migrant workers in their rank and file and make them equal partners for sustainable development and social justice. The NGO’s having skilled manpower and resources can provide the trade unions with research and background. Trade unions with their organizational structures, organizing skills can take on the employers, Policy makers and governments for a better deal to the Migrant Workers and contribute for social harmony and sustainable growth. Trade Unions have been working for defending and promoting Trade Union Rights and Human Rights, but it is high time, that, they take up the Migrant Workers Rights and address the causal aspects of the “cause and effect relationship” of migration, so that, the conditions which create migrant labour are addressed and necessary policy shifts and alternatives are created. The trade unions in general and GUFs in particular should fight against violations of trade union and human rights and abuses against Migrant workers. Eventually, there would be decent jobs both in the Exporting and Recipient countries and the 76 x “race to the bottom thus checked”. Social work intervention and role of social workers Specific Objectives Ensuring social protection for workers through convergence of existing schemes and services, both at source and destination areas, to reduce their indebtedness and poverty situation; Empowering the workers by imparting rights based awareness education and enabling them to organize themselves and engage in collective bargaining; Implementing workplace improvement measures and facilitation to workers and their children to access government schemes while they are at workplaces; and Experimenting improvements in recruitment systems and working conditions including regulation of payment of wages and advances through active social dialogue process among tripartite partners. Social work intervention In the Districts of destination/workplaces, worker and family welfare and other enterprise productivity-enhancing measures aim together to uplift conditions in the workplaces, and hence enable the fulfillment of basic workers’ rights without undermining enterprise viability; and In the source Districts from where migrant workers originate, measures are taken to improve the functioning of recruitment systems, so as to eliminate the use of abusive and coercive practices, and to better track migrant workers to improve their access to social protection and other publicly-funded schemes. Action Strategies for implementation To protect the migrants from physical distress, Govt. needs to ensure that there should be consulates in the host region with appropriate health personnel and services. The person who is hiring the labour may be in agriculture or industry should take the responsibility for ensuring the health needs to the hired labour. Should mobilize more social workers to help. Prob lem s a nd Protec tion of Mig ra nt La b ours’in Ind ia x77 Employer need to assist migrants in accessing govt. medical system and services. To enhance the self esteem and psychological well- being of the migrant labour Provide training/educational programmers for migrants to help them to know of and access medical services. Develop educational and training kits on migrants’ health. Provide orientation booths and migration counseling services. Home regions should give top importance on the creation of local jobs than encouraging people to migrate to undertake low dignity jobs. As support groups act of as first line of defense in protection of migrant labourers Should recognize migrant trade unions, organisations and support groups. Should help migrants to build their statewide networks of support group. Should help support groups to mobilise their resources to help the fellow being in crises. To raise awareness about the extent of migrants problems Should include media to raise migrants’ problems. Should conduct more research studies on issues related to migrants problems. Produce and disseminate resource material on migrants’ problems. Education of people against racism should be in courses in the formal education curriculum of schools. Social workers can help, sensitize authorities and public opinion, so that the same resources and opportunities available to local places of migrant workers. The movements for the recognition of migrant workers rights are gaining support. Eventually even the states must come to recognise these rights by ratifying the United Nations Convention for the protection of the rights of all migrant workers. 78 x REFERENCES Achary Dr. P.K. 2007, “Migration and Trafficing of women”, Women’s link, Social Action Trust, New Delhi, Vol. 13 No. I Hamare Kanun. 2009, Inter State Migrant labour Act, 1979, Multiple action research group, women and child development department.

Dem og ra p hic Divid end In Ind ia : Asset or Lia b ility x79 Demographic Dividend in India : Asset or Liability Satish Chandra Dwivedi * INTRODUCTION The demographic dividend is defined as a rise in the economic growth due to a rising share of working age people in a population. This phenomenon occurs with a falling birth rate and a consequent shift in the age structure of the population towards the adult working ages. (James, 2008) Those who don't believe in the concept "excess is bad" argues that every mouth to be fed comes with two hands that can be put to work. Economists with this perception have seen the problem of development as being one of employing more workers in more productive activities that can yield larger surpluses without depriving them of the basket of goods they currently consume. If the larger surpluses thus garnered are invested, growth would accelerate. The economic problem in poor countries was that of identifying and implementing a strategy that can make this happen. (Chandrashekhar, 2006) This demographic dividend is expected to resolve automatically the problem of garnering the surplus over consumption needed for investment. A nation's population can be divided into those in the labour force (say, the 15-64 age group) and those outside it. Given the availability of work and the resulting employment, the division broadens to include those outside the labour force, those available for work but unemployed and those in the actual workforce. Since those outside the workforce would be consuming part of what is produced by currently employed workers, the ratio of those outside the workforce to those in it the dependency ratio, would among the factors influencing the surplus available for investment after current consumption. Hence, everything else remaining the same, the higher the share of workers to non-workers, the larger would be the surplus and for given unemployment rates, the higher the ratio of those in the labour force to those outside it, the larger would be the surplus. Demographic Dividend and Age Structure Demographic dividend is a result of change in age structure. According to the * Associate Professor, Department of Economics, Buddha Postgraduate College, Kushinagar (Uttar Pradesh). 80 x theory of demographic transition, the size and age structure of population in all countries tend to change over time because of the nature of the demographic transition. According to demographers, decline in death rate depends on the exogenous factors. Initially, the death rate tends to decline because of declines in infant and child mortality resulting from improved public health interventions related to water and sanitation, and to medical interventions such as vaccine coverage and the use of antibiotics. At a later stage the decline in the death rate and increases in average life expectancy result from reduced death rates in the middle and older age groups because of higher incomes, improved lifestyles and better and more expensive medical technology. On the other side decrease in birth rate depends on the endogenous factors such as age of marriage and the fertility rate. Both of these depend on the level of development. Development often leads to the dilution of social norms prescribing early marriage and fertility rates within marriage decline as higher child survival rates, female education and labour market opportunities associated with development reduce the desired family size. Besides these factors, the decline in birth rates tends to begin well after the decline in death rates sets in. The difference in the relationship between death and birth rates on the one hand and development on the other affects not just the rate of population growth but the age structure of the population. The initial fall in infant mortality and improvement in child survival results in a boom generation, with a large number of people in younger ages. After some time, the lagged fall in fertility rates reverses the baby boom, resulting in a bulge in the younger ages. As is to be expected, the bulge created by the baby boom moves up the age structure resulting in the fact that at some point the population in the working age (15-64) is much higher than it was previously and would be subsequently. (Chandrashekhar, 2006) Demographic Dividend and Economic Growth Change in age structure can have significant implications for economic growth. Periods characterised by a low dependency ratio would be characterised by higher growth, if the inducement to investment surpluses exists, whereas periods characterised by a higher dependency ratio would be characterised by a slow growth, unless productivity increases raise the output of a smaller proportions of workers enough to neutralise the demographic deficit. But if the "window of opportunity" available when the population bulge enters the working age groups is to result in an acceleration in growth, the processes of development which in part created this bulge must have been such as to ensure that the quality of those entering the workforce is of the desired level and that these workers find employment opportunities as and when they enter the labour force. K.S. James Dem og ra p hic Divid end In Ind ia : Asset or Lia b ility x81 has quoted some studies that show a strong positive association between demographic variables and economic outcomes (James, 2008). For example, the study of Boom and Williamson (1998) of 78 Asian and non-Asian countries showed a powerful positive impact of growth of the working age population on economic growth the estimates showed that nearly one third of the economic miracle of East Asian countries can be attributed to demographic dividend. A study by Behrman et.al (1999) using panel data for several since 1950 found a strong positive association between the age pattern and economic outcome. Anderson's (2001) study of Scandinavian countries using data since 1980 also found a positive association between the share of economic growth and the share of the working age population. Boom et.al.,(2003) and Boom et.al. (2006), using a panel data of countries from 1996 to 2000, established a positive association between the age structure and economic growth in India and China. However, there are some other studies which show that positive impact of changing age structure on economic growth is not inevitable. For example, Navneetham (2002) found a positive impact of age structure on economic growth in south east Asia but failed to see such relationship in south Asian countries. Boom et.al. (2003) have shown that age structure transition seems to have failed to augment economic growth in Latin America.

James, "Glorifying Malthus: Current Debate on 'Demographic Dividend' in India", Economic and Political Weekly, June 21, 2008, Table 1, p.66. 82 x As is clear from the Table 1.1, there has been a drastic change in the age structure of the population in the 0-14 and 15-59 age groups in many Indian States over the four decade period, 1961-2001. Important trends are as follows : 1. States like Gujrat, Karnataka, Kerala, Punjab and Tamil Nadu recorded a more than 10 percentage points decline among children of 0-14 age groups between 1961-2001. As against this States like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan have registered declines of less than 3 percentage points. 2. In the working age of 15-59 years, a phenomenal increase of over 10 percentage points was registered in Kerala over the four decade period 1996-2001. Other States recording significant increases in the proportion of the working age population include Andhra Pradesh, Gujrat, Karnataka, Punjab and Tamil Nadu. Maharashtra and West Bengal closely follow these States with around 5 percentage points change in the proportion of the population in the working age group. Most of these States also have around 60 percent or more of the population in the working age population group. As against this, many norhtern States like Bihar, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and Rajasthan registered only marginal increases in the proportion of the working age population over the four decade period 1961-2001. In Uttar Pradesh, the proportion of the working age group population actually registered a decline. A significant factor pointing to the demographic dividend is the declining dependency ratio. The dependency ratio was more than 0.9 in 1971. It fell to 0.8 in 1991, 0.73 in 2001 and is expected to further decline sharply to 0.59 in 2011 as per the Technical Group on Population Projections (Census, 2001). "This decline sharply contrasts with the demographic trends in the industrialised countries and also in China, where the dependency ratio is rising. Low dependency gives India a comparative advantage and a progressively lowering dependency ratio will result in improving our competitiveness." (GOI, 2008). The age structure of the population presents an unprecedented opportunity to India and this has been called India's demographic dividend. As is clear from Table 1.1 more than a third of India's population in 2001 was below 14 years of age. "In 2020, that average Indian will be only 29 years old, compared with 37 in China and the United States, 45 in Western Europe and 48 in Japan. This implies that by the end of the second decade of the present century. India would manage to create a large and growing labour force which may deliver unexpected spin offs in terms of growth and prosperity." (Chandrashekhar, 2006). Table 1.2 presents a more detailed information on likely population trends in future on all-India basis. As is clear from this Table, out of total population of 102.9 crore in 2001, Dem og ra p hic Divid end In Ind ia : Asset or Lia b ility x83 61.9 crore (i.e., 60.2 per cent) people were in the age-group 15-65 years. This number is likely to increase to 90.8 crore (i.e., 67.8 per cent of total population) by 2021 and further to 95.7 crore (i.e.,68.4 per cent of total population) by 2026. In other words, India will have a large working population. In his famous book Dreaming with BRICS: The Path to 2050, Goldman Sachs confidently predicts that it is on account of this advantage that among the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) India would be amongst the top three economies in terms of GDP in the years nearing 2050. C.P. Chandrashekhar also states, "India is in the midst of a process where it faces the window of opportunity created by demographic dividend." (Chandrashekhar, 2006).

Demographic Dividend or Demographic Liability Critics of the 'demographic dividend' argument have pointed out that while the age distribution changes create supply side potential, the utilization of this potential ultimately depends upon the 'policy environment' in each country. In Indian context, the following points are worth noting: 1. With India facing a major deficit in the area of health and education, the conversion of a growing labour force into a quality workforce is difficult to achieve. 2. Considering the jobless growth in the liberalisation phase, it has not been easy to utilize the population bulge. It is likely to result in more and more unemployment. According to C.P. Chandrashekhar, "The demographic dividend argument ignores the fact that available workers are not automatically absorbed to deliver growth." Strategies to exploit the opportunities offered by country's demographic transition must be adopted. But India's experience during the liberalisation phase suggests that markets do not ensure that such policies would be adopted so that the country manages to take advantage of young population bulge vis-a-vis greying population of China, USA, Japan and other developed countries. Hence, the possibility is that India would miss the opportunity to grow faster due to population bulge. Most of India's population bulge will be unskilled and unemployable and market will do 84 x nothing whereby this population bulge becomes skilled and employed. Without training growing workforce in skills and making them employable, the potential resource that the country's demographic transition offers will be wasted. According to Eleventh Five Year Plan, "The criticality of Skill Development in our overall strategy is that if we get our skill development act right, we will be harnessing 'demographic dividend'; if we do not get there, we could be facing a 'demographic nightmare'." (GOI, 2008) 3. The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) in its State of World Population Report 2005 asserts that India at present stands on the verge of a one-time window of opportunity. This country has one of the youngest population in the world. However, the state of women in the country might prevent it from capitalising on this opportunity. Presently, India has been recording impressive economic growth which means that this country has enough resources to invest in education and healthcare for this population which will make them skilled and employable. Resources are there to create jobs for this population. Commenting on the situation, Hendrick van der Pal, UNFPA representative in India, remarked, "Without employment opportunities, this window would be insignificant- you will end up having mere shoeshine boys." (Mishra and Puri, 2010) This window of opportunity, though presently available to India can be rendered irrelevant because almost half of the working population in the country is not empowered enough to make a difference. The Thrust of the Population Report is on gender equity. The population report asserts that the lack of education and women empowerment is like a vicious circle that needs to be broken if the country wants to use the window. Thus, it is clear that demographic dividend India can be an asset if we manage it properly through education, skill development and productive investment otherwise it will be a liability rather than window of opportunity.

The position of women in a society reflects the standards of its civilization, culture and refinement. Prophet Mohammad is reported to have said, “Paradise lies at the feet of the mother”. During the ancient time position of women was very high but as the days were pass on, the position of women were declined. For that reason it is rightly said, position of women during middle age is called as “Dark Age” in the History of India. 1) Purdah System Purdha system was almost a common feature in Indian women in Bahamani period. According to the holy Quran women should not ordinarily go out of their homes and if forced to do so they should strictly observed Purdah. The women of middle class also strictly observed purdah and always appeared in ‘Chadar’ and ‘Burqas’ or long garments which cover their heads and bodies down to their ankles. Even among the Hindu women to save their women folk and to maintain the purity of their social order. Hindu women during Bahamani period milder and less elaborated from the Purdah commonly known as ‘Ghoonghat’. 2) Birth of a daughter During Bahamani kingdom birth of female child received with great disappointment. To desire for a male child was so much intense that the people of the then times visited to holy tombs to ask for male child. It was because the then society realized the difficulties in getting a suitable bridegroom for their daughters and also the demand of high dowries. 3) Early Marriages Early marriages were another common practice during the Bahamani period. * Research Scholar, Dept. of Studies in History, Gulbarga University, Gulbarga (Karnataka). 154 x Both Hindu and Muslims practiced child marriages. In the imperial families however marriages were performed when the girl completed the age of thirteen or fourteen, and boys would have fifteen or sixteen. 4) Polygamy During Bahamani period, except wealthy Hindu people remaining were believed in monogamy. But polygamy is allowed in Islam and a man could marry as many as four wives at a time. Polygamy was much practiced among the noble, travelers and autocrats. Even though Muslim community permitted to marry four wives but the common Muslim preferred to have one wife. Due to the polygamy women’s status was deprived. She suffered trouble not only from cowife but also from her relatives. 5) Divorce System According to Prophet Mohammad showed his extreme disapproval towards divorce and said. “The woman who asks her husbands to divorce her without a cause even a smell of paradise is forbidden to her”. The Muslim laws and customs allowed divorce unconditionally but was loaded upon with extreme disapproval by wise and honorable persons. In Muslim community though a man had greater rights than a women and could divorce his wife against her will, but wife was also entitled to demand a separation on the grounds of ill usage the withholding of due and proper means of maintenance and certain other causes. During Bahamani kingdom accept low class community people remaining were not allowed to take divorce. 6) Economic Position of Women During the Bahamani rule the economic position of Muslim women were much better than the Hindus. A Muslim woman acquired a definite share in the inheritance and she had also the right to sell it. Unlike her Hindu sister, she retained this right after marriage. The interest of Muslim women was further safeguarded after her marriage through Maher; where as Hindu women had no right to the property her husband’s parents. A Hindu woman, who was entitled to maintenance and expenses of subsistence besides moveable property like ornaments, jewellery, costly apparel etc. which is called as Stridhana. 7) Position of Women as a Widow during Middle Age During Bahamani rule, Muslim widow enjoyed a more respectable position unlike Position of Wom en d uring Ba ha m a ni King d om x155 the Hindus. A Muslim widow as allowed to attend the festivals of betrothal, Nikah and birth ceremonies as Islam takes a more generous and liberal view about them and gives them permissions to enjoy the fruit full of life. The only ban on her after her husband’s death was to observe strictly the period of ‘Iddat’. The Muslim widows also enjoyed property rights and had a share in the property of her late husband. If she had a child her right over this property was 1/8 but, if she was childless then ¼ of the property. CONCLUSION Through as a wife women enjoyed all the rights and if she failed to come up to her standard, she might be divorced in Muslim family. It was believed by many scholars that the position of women was not better than that of an ordinary maid. A pregnant women was much respected by her husband, relatives and even by all the inhabitants of the place belonging to her caste. Though, during Bahamani kingdom, women of Hindu and Muslim societies were subordinate to the men but they were given due importance. REFERENCE 1. H. K. Sherwani : The Bahamanis of the Deccan. 2.

According to Abul Fazl, this huge project was completed in twelve volumes containing fourteen hundred illustrations. There has been much controversy amongst art critics regarding the date of the commencement and completion of the Hamzanama undertaking. It has been suggested by some authors1 that it was commissioned by Humayun but eventually completed during Akbar’s reign. The small atelier of Humayun, as an adjunct to the royal library, would not have been in a position to initiate such a huge project which undoubtedly needed a large establishment such as Akbar commanded. Besides, there is no evidence to show that this project was even conceived of by Humayun. The fact that it was a production of Akbar’s studio alone has been attested to by at least three contemporary sources, the Muntakhab-ut-Tawarikh of Mulla Abdul Qadir Badauni, the Nafais al-Ma’asir of Mulla Ala-ud-daula Qazvini, and the Ain-i-Akbari of Abul Fazl.2 Mulla Abdul Qadir Badauni furnishes two pieces of information about the Hamzanama series: firstly, it took fifteen years to complete the project; secondly, it was completed by 1582.3 This suggests that Hamzanama undertaking was completed between 1567 and 1582. Mulla Ala-uddaula Qazvini, while describing the events of 1565, remarks that it is seventh year that Mir Sayyid Ali is busy in preparing the illustrations at Akbar’s orders.4 By saying this, Qazvini informs us that the Hamzanama was begun in 1558, but he says nothing about its date of completion. As Badauni clearly mentions that the Hamzanama was completed in fifteen years, it may therefore be concluded that it dates of commencement and completion fall between 1558 and 1573.5 The conclusion drawn on the basis of the information supplied by Badauni that the Hamzanama was illustrated between 1567 and 1582 does not appear to be logical, if it is regarded as the earliest project of the Akbari studio, as he also indicated that Akbar’s atelier remained some what inactive and unproductive during the first eleven years (1556-67) of his reign. Furthermore, the view of some scholars6 that Akbar neglected painting due to an insufficient number of * Professor, Deptt. of History, D.D.U. Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur Historic ity of the Ha m za na m a a nd the C lea vela nd Museum Tutina m a Projec ts x157 artists and his insecure position in the empire during the first decade of his reign, is not borne but by any contemporary or later authority. The date of 1558 for the commencement of the Hamzanama, as suggested by Qazvini, rejects the theory that there was a gap of about eleven years between Akbar’s accession and the commissioning of the Hamzanama.7 Abul Fazl’s account regarding Akbar’s keen interest in the art of painting from his earliest youth8 strongly supports the view that having reorganized his atelier within two years of his accession, Akbar would have been able to initiate the Hamzanama project. Given this, it appears more feasible to conclude that the dates of commencement and completion of the Hamzanama fall within the period 1558 and 1573. The Akbar did not overlook painting at the outset of his reign but rather took a great deal of interest in having manuscripts illustrated in his studio, shortly after he ascended the throne in 1556, is also confirmed by the Tutinama of the Cleveland Museum of Art. There is also much controversy among modern art critics regarding the dating of the Cleveland Museum Tutinama. Some of the dates suggested, though on different grounds, by the scholars are c. 1560-65,9 c. 1560-68,10 c. 1575-80,11 c. 1576-80,12 c. 1580,13 c. 1580-90.14 The Cleveland Museum Tutinama reflects much closer affinities with the Hamzanama than the Rampur Tilasm and Zodiac, the 1568 Deval Rani Khizr Khan and the 1570 Anwar-i Suhaili, but only in the sense that many of the Hamzanama elements are found here in an immature form. On the whole, the Tutinama examples are cruder than those of the Hamzanama. The predominance of indigenous features from the Chaurapanchasika, the IndoPersian, and the Laur-Chanda groups, which are not observable to the same degree in any of the Mughal manuscripts of the formative stage, suggest that the native artists were largely responsible for the Cleveland Muesum Tutinama. So far as the Persian elements are concerned, such as in figure drawing, landscape, architecture, and use of colours, the Cleveland Museum Tutinama shows that the artists, who were certainly of Indian origin as stated above, had not yet adapted themselves fully to the Persian traditions. Rather, it would be more correct to say that their workmanship indicates that they were apprentices with regard to Persian painting. It would therefore be reasonable to suggest that the Cleveland Tutinama represents a state in the atelier of Akbar when new recruits were still in the process of acculturation. Considering what has been said above, it seems very probable that Cleveland Tutinama belonged to the formative stage of Mughal painting, and also that it was painted earlier than the Hamzanama. As a period between 1558 and 1573, has already been assigned to the Hamzanama, and further assuming that as the Tutinama was comparatively a small project that could have been completed within a period of two or three years, it may be dated between 1557 and 1560. 15 158 x REFERENCES 1.

The C onc ep t of Life a fter Dea th in Isla m x159 The Concept of Life after Death in Islam Md. Iftekhar * Belief in ‘Allah’ and belief in the hereafter a respectively the first and the last of the fundamental and important principles of Islam. A life after death, according to Islam, implies a state of existence which begins with death, but a complete manifestation of which takes place when the fruits of the actions done in this life take their final shape. Islamic scriptures confirm that the death is not the final end of the destiny of man. Death is not the complete annihilation of the existence of a man. After death, a man does not disappear completely. It is the body which dies. The self of a man does not die. The death of a physical body does not mean dissipation of the self. In the death only the physical body of a man gets its end. The Hadis says, “The soul of a man remains even after death of the body with its particular qualities and personality. After death, the soul has the feeling of pleasure and pain also”.1 We find many verses in Holy Qur-an which supports the idea hereafter“Surely those who believe and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and Sabeans, whoever believes in ‘Allah’ and the last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.”2 This verse strikes at the root of the idea who may be entitled to salvation. “And who believes in that which has been revealed to you and that which was revealed before you, and they are sure of the here after”.3 At other places in the Qur-an we find some more verses – “As to those who do not believe in the here after, we have surely made their deeds fair seeming to them, but they blindly wander on.”4 “We keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, and of the here-after, they are sure.”5 In Islam, the mystery of the life after death, has been solved clearly and the * P.G. Department of Urdu, T.M. Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur (Bihar) 160 x idea reached its perfection as did other important fundamental principles of religion. The gulf that generally interposed between this life and the life after death, is the great obstacle in the solution of the hereafter. Islam makes that gulf disappear altogether. It makes the next life only a continuation of the presentone. On this point, The Holy Qur-an says: “And we have made every man’s actions to cling to his neck, and we will bring forth to him on the resurrection day a book which he will find wide open.”6 The verse quoted above reveals the principle that every action produces an effect which is made to cling to a man and that, this very effect will be met with on the resurrection day in the form of a wide open book. The reckoning of man’s actions shall be his own work on the day of resurrection. The nature of that reckoning and the word ‘Wazn’7 and the work ‘Mizan’8 (Holy Qur-an, 7:8; 55:7) shows clearly that it is nothing but a complete manifestation of the effect of the deeds done in this life. The verse “And the measuring out on that day will be just; then as for him whose measure (of good deeds) is heavy- those are they who shall be successful”.9 And the verse“And the heaven, He raised it high, and He made the measure”.10 And the verse“certainly we sent our apostles with clear arguments, and sent down with them the Book and the measure, that men may conduct themselves with equity……”11 The above mentioned verses throw a flood of light on the nature of the reckoning and the ‘Wazn and ‘Mizan’, showing clearly the great facts which will be brought to light on the day of resurrection will not be anything new but only a manifestation of what is here hidden from the physical eye. The life after death is, therefore, not a new one, but only a continuance of this life, bringing its hidden realities to light. The following other verses of the Holy Qur-an further clarifies the point“And whoever is blind in this, (life), he shall also be blind in the hereafter”.12 “O Soul, that art content return to your Lord, well pleased with Him, well pleasing Him; so enter The C onc ep t of Life a fter Dea th in Isla m x161 among my servants and enter into my garden.”13 The above quoted verses show that a hellish and a heavenly life both begin in this world. The blindness of the next life is surely hell, but to the verse- ‘only those who are blind here shall be blind in the here-after’ makes it more clear that the spiritual blindness of this life is the real hell, and from here it is taken to the next life. We are here told in plain words that those who remain blind to the truth in this life, remain blind in the life after death, which shows in the first place that it is here that a hellish life begins with spiritual blindness; secondly, that the hell of the next life is also a blindness. Similarly, it is the soul that has found perfect peace and rest that is made to enter into Paradise of the next life, which is only a continuation of the peace and rest which a man enjoys spiritually in this life. Thus it is clear that according to the Holy Qur-an, the next life is a continuation of this life an death is not an interruption but a connecting link, a door that opens upon the hidden realities of this life. The Qur-an describes three stages of man’s life, vis. his life in this world, his life in ‘barzakh’, and the great manifestation of all spiritual realities that will take place on the day of resurrection.14 And, it describes three stages in the spiritual growth of a man’s life. The lowest stage of the self is called ‘Ammarah’.15 It is, in fact, the lowest stage in the spiritual growth of man. The next stage is called the ‘Lawwaamah’16 which is referred to in The Holy Quran 75:2, as the ‘self-accusing spirit’, when the slightest departure from the path of rectitude at once rouses the pangs of the conscience. The third stage is the stage of perfect-the ‘Mutama’, innah’,17 or, the content soul, where it is in perfect peace, having attained the goal of perfection“O soul that art content” “Return to your Lord well pleased (with Him) We pleasing (Him)”. So enter among My Servants” “And enter into My garden”.18 These verses refer to the highest stage of the spiritual development of man, the stage in which he rests contended with his Lord, and find his quietude, his happiness, and his delight in Him. This is the stage of life which we term the heavenly life. The pure and perfect, sincerity, truth and righteousness of a person are rewarded by Almighty God by granting him a heaven upon this earth. This stage of soul is the state of its perfection. This state is the destiny of man’s self or soul. Almighty Itself arranged the ways for the perfection of the soul. The following verses of the Holy Qur-an is worthwhile quoting here- 162 x “Consider the sun and his light” “And the moon when she borrows light from Him”. “And the day when it exposes it to view.” “And the night when it draws Veil over it.” “And the heaven and its make”. “And the Soul and its perfection.” “So He intimated to it by inspiration its deviating from truth and its guarding (against evil).” “He will indeed be successful who purifies it”. “And he will indeed fail who corrupts it”.19 The first six verses quoted above speak of the man’s physical requirements and the seventh verse draws our attention to the perfection of soul. As to arrangements for the perfection of soul, the spiritual requirements must also be fulfilled, and this is stated in Verse 8 to 10. According to the popular belief of Islam, at the time of death Angels come and take the soul of the man from his body. We find reference in ‘Hadis’ and in many other scriptures regarding the abode of the dead. ‘Hadis’ says“at the time of the death of a religious man the angels come to him with very soft silken clothes and confirm him that ‘Allah’ (God) is pleased with him because he has faith upon ‘Allah’. Angels ask the soul to come out from the body. Then the soul of the man comes out from the body just like the fragrance of musk. Angels receive the soul very delicately and gently.”20 And, at the time of an unbeliever or wicked man’s death, the angels come to him with very rough clothes and confirm him that as the does not agree with the God (Allah), so ‘Allah’ too is not pleased with him. Angels order the soul to come out from the body and the soul comes out like the bad smell of the corpse.21 A.S. Tritan, in his book, ‘Islam Belief & Practices’, writes that“Izrail, the angel of death, has two forms, one beautiful in which he approaches a good man and one hideous in which he draws near to a bad man. He draws the Soul of a good man gently from his body but tears out an evil soul violently.”22 After the death, when the dead is laid in the grave he is questioned by the angels. If the dead is the believer of God and a good man, he wakes up in the grave and sits before the angels without any fear and answers the questions The C onc ep t of Life a fter Dea th in Isla m x163 easily. In the grave, the dead is asked about his faith in ‘Allah’, religion and prophet whom he believes The good man answers that his God is Allah, his religion is Islam and his prophet is Hazrat Muhammad (s.a.w.). After that, the angels ask him whether he has seen the ‘Allah’ or not? The man replies that it is impossible for a man in this physical or material world to see ‘Allah’. Then, the angels open the windows of the heaven and hell one by one and show him the glimpse of the heaven and the hell in short and he is being assured for his destiny which is heaven.22A In the Hadis, we find also another reference of bad ones“And he who is bad one wakes up with fear and does not give the answer properly. He tells everything with doubt. Angels show him too the glimpse of the heaven and hell and make him aware about hi s dest i ny w hi ch i s hel l ” 23 A.S. Tritan adds that“two angels- ‘Munkir’ and ‘Nakir’ ask the dead, who is your God? Who is your prophet? What is your religion? If the man gives the right answers- ‘Allah’, ‘Muhammad’ and ‘Islam’, he is admitted to bliss otherwise the angels torture him.”24 After death, a soul, according to its action or deed, gets its reward or punishment, pleasure or pain in the next world. Where does the soul live and pass its time after death? What sorts of things and states he is to face in the next world? All these are very difficult to understand and almost all impossible to conceive for us in this material and physical world. In Scriptures, we find the notion of the world where a soul lives after death till the greater resurrection is called ‘Barzakh’. Barzakh is a vast world. The soul who is new comer to this word (Barzakh) come across the other souls who had already arrived there earlier to him.25 A.S. Tritan writes“When a dead man arrives from the earth, they crowed round the new comer asking news of their friends.”26 Moulvi Muhammad Ali explains the state of ‘Barzakh’ as follows“According to The Holy Qur-an, there are three states of man’s life, viz., his life in this world, his life in ‘barzakh’ and the resurrection; the state of ‘barzakh’ being the intermediate state of ‘barzakh’ being the intermediate state in which the soul lives 164 x after death till the greater resurrection. Hers it is stated in plain words that no one who has passed into the state of ‘barzakh’ through death’s door is allowed to go back into the previous state.”27 A commentator insists on the point that it is a moral barrier. It is defined as ‘what is between this world is between the dead and return to this world and what is after death’. Entrance into ‘Barzakh’ is a euphemism for death. The state of ‘Barzakh’ and its pleasure and pain are said to be imagined with the state of a person’s dream, and his experience of pleasure and pain. Since it is impossible to understand the true state of ‘Barzakh’ in this World, so one can understand it only through the analogy of the dream. According to A.S. Tritan“Not everyone entered ‘Barzakh’ which might be a place of punishment. One account divides the dead into classes. The bodies of some turn into dust and their souls wander in the world of sovereignty (Malakat) under the sky of this world. Some sleep and know nothing till the first trump wakes them; then they die (the second death).28 Some remain two or three months in the grave and their souls fly on birds to Paradise. Some ascend to the trump and stay close to it till it sounds: there are as many recesses in it as there are souls.29 Prophets and saints have the choice of remaining in this world and appearing to men in dreams or of ascending to one of the heavens. In the Barzakh, the good souls and the bad souls have their separate residence.30 Good souls have their residence at high and better place called ‘Illiyyun’ and bad souls get their shelter at the lower place called ‘sijjin’.31 The state of Barzakh is not the final destiny of man. Islam holds that there will be the day of doom ‘Kayamat’ and the day of judgment. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) says- “each and every person will be raised on the day of ‘Kayamat’. They will be raised in the same position in which they died.”32 On the day of the doom (kayamat), the earth and the heaven will be shaken violently and will be emptied of their in habitants. A fire will come out from hell and will burn till the earth will become black cinder and the skies will be boiling oil; then it will be sent back to the hell. The water of life will be descended from the throne of God, moisten the earth and the dead will come back to life. God will restore Israfil to life and will sound the first when all souls will return to their body. The Qur-an says“And the trumpet shall be blown, so all those that are in the heavens and all those that are in the earth shall sown except such as Allah please; then The C onc ep t of Life a fter Dea th in Isla m x165 it shall be blown again, then lo: they shall stand up awaiting.” “And the earth shall bean with the light of its Lord and the Book shall be laid down, and the prophets and the witness shall be brought up, and judgement shall be given between them with justice, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.” “And every soul shall be paid back fully what it has done, and He knows best what they do.”32A True believers, who died during pilgrimage will be given garments from Paradise. In the interval between the two blasts of the trumpet will be second death; the interval is said to be of forty years. At this point all are seated on their graves.33 One question may arise here that how does a dead body and destroyed body gets life once again and how will it be raised again? According to Islamic belief, such type of questions show distrust upon the Almighty God and His powers. The knowledge of the mechanism of getting the life of the dead one is beyond the man’s capacity. God is Almighty and He can dos anything even beyond our imaginations. At one place the Holy Qur-an says “This is because ‘Allah’ is the truth and because He gives life to the dead and He has power over all t hi ngs.” 34 “And because the hour is coming there is no doubt about it; and because ‘Allah’ shall raise up those who are in the grave.”35 The above mentioned verses make it clear that because God has power over all things so He can give life to the dead too. Hadis says that on the day of the ‘Kayamat’ all men will be raised in three different ways- some will be on foot, some will be on ride and some will complete their way walking on heads.36 Those who will ride are the special and selected persons of Allah; and, those who will walk on head are un-fortunates who had never followed the teaching of the Prophets (s.a.w.) and Saints in the physical world, on the contrary, he did all the opposites and wrong in his part.37 All the raised deads are the subject of the Judgement. According to the popular belief on the day of the judgement men will be gathered in a great plain, will seek a hiding place from God and find none. The location of the place where the men will be gathered and the affairs of the judgement will be taken place has not been pointed out. Someone believe that it may be somewhere in the Kingdom of God, the outer world while someone hold the view that after the day of ‘Kayamat’, this very earth will be ruined and will take the shape of a barren land or great plain, where the affairs of the judgement will be decided. Wherever it may be, 166 x but it is certain that all men will be gathered on that plain. The believer and good souls will get their reward and wicked and bad souls will be tortured. The Quran says“Allah gives you life, then He makes you die…… then will He gather you to the day of resurrection wherein is no doubt, but most people do not know.”38 On the day of judgement, the deeds of the man will be produced before God. According to the popular belief, the record book of man’s deed will be brought and will be produced by the two angels- Kiraman & Kaatebin. It is believed that the ‘Kiraman’ collects the records of good deeds while ‘Kaatebin’ collects the records of bad deeds of the man. The good soul or the believer will get the ‘book’ in his right hand and the bad soul will take the ‘book’ in his left hand.39 The Quran further says“Nay but you give the lie to the judgement” “And most surely there are keepers over you” “Honourable recorders” “They know what you do”.40 Making the above Verses of the Qur-an further clear and puring the popular belief, the commentator Moulvi Muhammad Ali says“Every action of man is recorded and bears fruit- is one of the principal doctrines of the religion of Islam. Of course, it is not meant that angels are sitting with pen in their hands and ink-stands before them on desks, the Copyists, noting down that at such and such time such one did such a good or such a bad deed. That would be the distortion of the teaching of Qur-an. The terminology of writing down book and records is only meant to show that every deed is preserved so that it has a certain effect, for the best method known to men of preserving what has happened is written. In what manner it is preserved, who the angels are that are charged with the duty of preserving it, in what form of the books will appear as evidence against the guilty, are circumstances which are beyond the compass of the present state of our knowledge. But that all our actions are preserved, the effect of which we must fully witness, is a truth which cannot be denied”.41 On the day, every one will be busy with his own affairs. No one will take care of others. Describing the scene of the Judgement, Mohammad told his favourite wife“…….all would be necked at the day of the judgement: The women too she exclaimed- “on the day each will be so taken up with his own affairs that he will have no thought of others.”42 The C onc ep t of Life a fter Dea th in Isla m x167 On the day a friend shall not avail his friend nor shall they be helped.43 ‘Hadis’ says that on the day, there will be three such occasions which will be very important and hard for the each person. They are the occasion of ‘meezan’ i.e., estimation or judgement, the occasion of getting the deed-record book and the occasion of passing over the path or the bridge of ‘sirat’44 The Qur-an says“And measuring out on that will be just; then as for him whose measure (of good deeds) is heavy, those are they who shall be successful.”45 “And as for him whose measure (of good deeds) is light, those are they who have made their souls suffer loss because they disbelieved in our communications”.46 Thus each and everybody will get the fruits according to his actions. In this connection, the Holy Qur-an says“And Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth and that every soul may be rewarded for what it has earned and they shall not be wronged.”47 Islam does not recognise the doctrine that man stands in needs of any mediator to reconcile with God, and therefore, meditation or intercession in the sense in which the Christian doctrine is held unknown to Islam. The Holy Quran further says“And be on your guard against a day when one soul shall not avail another in the least, neither shall intercession on its behalf be accepted, nor shall any compensation to be taken from it, nor shall they be helped.”48 But there is another aspect of it also. The Prophet to whom the Divine will is revealed, is the Model for this people. He is perfect, and by pointing out a way enables others to attain to perfection. In this sense he is called a ‘Shafi’ or Intercessor. The doctrine of Shafa-at or intercession, is a well- known doctrine, according to which the prophets and the righteous will intercede for the sinner on the day of the judgement.49 Those who take the Prophet for their model may thus attain perfection, which is the real meaning of salvation in Islam. But as all men are not equally gifted, nor have all equal occasion to attain to a state of perfection, although they have exerted themselves to their utmost, Divine mercy will take them by the hand and amendment will be made for such defects through the intercession of the Holy-one who has served for a Model to his followers. It is in this sense that Islam recognises the doctrine of intercession in the life after death ‘Hadis’ describes that besides prophets the Martyr; who died for religion may intercede and the very young children will get the chance to intercede for 168 x their parents on the day of judgement. But in the context of the principle of intercession, one thing is markable that any kind of intercession may be possible only with the permission of God as to the Holy Qur-an says “…..who is he that can intercede With him but by his permission”.50 God the Almighty will give judgement according to the deeds of the men. Those who will get reward will go to the Paradise and punished ones will go to the hell. Before admission to Paradise, the righteous will quench their thirst at a lake outside of the Paradise. Paradise has many gates, one gate of mercy is never shut.51 It is said that the poor will enter five hundred years before the rich.52 Unbelievers have no entry into Paradise. The doors of Paradise are shut for the wicked and disbelievers. The Holy Qur-an says“Surely (as for) those who rejected our communication and turn away from them haughtily, the doors of heaven shall not be opened for there nor shall they enter the garden until the camel pass through the eye of the needle; and thus do we reward the guilty.”53 Believers will be welcomed by angels and the heavenly vergins, who are always virgin. Paradise is conceived as a garden where everyone has his mansion in the midst of grateful shade and cooling streams. Paradise is the place where everyone will be healthy all the time, they never grow old nor they die. The Quran says“All Peace and no harsh words disturb the scene. Muslim Paradise is a place where there is no grief and, where toil and fatigue no more afflict man; it is all peace and satisfaction and the highest bliss.”54 The Qur-an further says“And they shall say: (All) praise is due to Allah, who has made grief to depart from us………..” “Who has made us slight in a house abiding for ever out of His grace; toil shall not touch us therein, nor shall fatigue therein afflict us.”55 Here is drawn a true picture of Paradise: who has made grief to depart from us. This shows that freedom from grief and anxiety is the real bliss of Paradise. The repeated promise to the righteous that shall have no fear nor shall they grieve, as frequently stated in the Holy Qur-an expresses the same truth. We find parable in Muslim Scriptures which not only describe the blessings of the life after death, but also give a description of the fertile land which they were to inherit in this life. The C onc ep t of Life a fter Dea th in Isla m x169 “A parable of the garden which those guarding (against evil) are promised; Therein are rivers of water that does not alter, and rivers of milk the taste whereof does not change and rivers of wine delicious to those who drink and rivers of honey clarified.”56 The Paradise is the place of perfect peace. The Qur-an says – “The gardens of perpetuity which the Beneficent God has promised to His servants while unseen; surely His promise shall come to pass.” “They shall not hear there in any vain discourse, but only ‘peace’, and they shall have their sustenance therein morning and evening.”57 It is by making peace here with the Creator and His creatures that one can find peace here after, and this is the great truth underlying the Islamic idea of paradise, for a paradise it is frequently stated in the Holy Qur-an that there shall be nothing but peace therein. Scriptures describe there are hundred grades in paradise“The distance between each two grades is as much as between the earth and the sky. ‘Firdaus’ is known as the highest grade of paradise where- from the four rivers of paradise flow and the throne of The Almighty and The compassionate God exists.”58 In Islamic belief, the nearness to God and to get the grace of God is the highest achievement of man for his existence. Those who dwell in paradise are able to have the gift of the grace of God. Like some other religions Islam too has the most significant truth with regard to the next life being brought to light. Similar to many other religions, Islam has also made several attempts to unveil the secrets of the hereafter. The Holy Qur-an makes clear the state after the death is a complete representation, a full and clear image of men’s spiritual states in this life. Here the good and the bad conditions of the deeds or beliefs of a man are latent within him, and their poison or panacea cast its influence upon him only secretly, but in the life to come they shall become manifest and clear as noon-day. The shape which our deeds and their consequence assume in this life is not visible to the eye of man on earth, but in the next life it will be unrolled and laid open before him in all its clearness. The pleasures and pains of the next life, therefore, though spiritual in reality, will not be hidden from the ordinary eye as spiritual facts are in this life. It is for this reason that while, on the one hand, the blessing of the next life are mentioned by physical names as an evidence of their clear representation to the eye, they are on the other hand, spoken of in a saying of the Holy Prophet on things which, “the eye has not seen, nor has ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man to conceive of them”.59 The 170 x description of the blessing of the next life is really an explanation given by the Holy Prophet of the Verse of the Qur-an, which says“No soul knows that is in store for them of that which will refresh the eyes.”60 To the same effect we may quote here another Verse of the Holy Qur-an“On the day you will see the faithful men and the faithful women, their light running before them and on their right hands.”61 This verse shows that the light of faith by which righteous men and women were guided in this life, and which could have here be seen only with the spiritual eye, will be clearly seen going before the believers on the day of resurrection. As in the case of the blessing of Paradise, the punishment of hell is also an image of the spiritual tortures of this life. Hell is said to be a place where one shall neither live nor die. “Whoever comes to his Lord guilty, for him is surely hell; he shall not die therein nor shall he live.”62 It should be remembered in this connection that the word of God describes those who walk in error and wicked as dead and lifeless, while the good it calls living. The secret of this is that means of the life of those who are ignorant of God, being simply eating and drinking and the satisfaction of physical desires, are entirely cut off at their death. Of spiritual food they have no share, and therefore, while devoid of the true life, they shall be raised again to taste of the evil consequences of their evil deeds. In Islam, one of the points of importance, which throws light on the mystery of the life after death, is that man is destined to make infinite progress in that life. Underlying this is the principle that development of man’s faculties as it takes place in this life, however unlimited, is not sealed by finality; but a much wider vista of the realms to be traversed opens out after the death. Those who have wasted their opportunity in this life shall under the inevitable law which makes every man taste of what he has done, be subjected to course of treatment of the spiritual diseases which they have brought about with their own hands, and when the effect of the position which vitiated their system has been mollified and they are fit to start on the onward journey to the great goal. Many commentators even give their emphasis to the limitation on the duration of abiding in hell too. While the next life is a life of unlimited progress then the punishment of hell should not be everlasting. A commentator explains why the punishment of hell, according to the Holy Qur-an, is not everlasting“Abiding therein so long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as The C onc ep t of Life a fter Dea th in Isla m x171 your Lord please; surely your Lord is the mighty doer of what He intends.”63 By quoting the above verse of the Holy Qur-an, the commentator Moulvi Muhammad Ali explains“This limitation on the duration of abiding in hell except as your lord please, is also in the Holy Quran in 6:129, and it shows clearly that the punishment of hell is not everlasting”. A comparison with the following verse makes this notion more clear“And as to those who are made happy they shall be in the garden, abiding in it as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please: a gift which shall never be cut off.”64 Here too, we have that those in Paradise shall abide there as long as the heaven and the earth endure, but the statement is immediately followed by another: a gift which shall never be cut off, thus showing that, in fact, there is no limitation upon eternity of Paradise and the words ‘except of your Lord please’ have been used only to express the unbounded power and greatness of the divine being. In the case of hell, however, the words ‘except as your Lord please’ are followed by a statement which corroborates the limitation thus placed, for the word ‘fa’al’ (in Arabic) as an attribute of the Divine being, indicates that He does even those things which seem impossible to others.”65 Various sayings of the Holy Prophet corroborate the statement made above. For instance, the concluding portion of one of these which is met within one of the most reliable collections, runs thus“Then will Allah say: The angels and the prophets and the faithful have all in their turn interceded for the sinners, and now there remains none to intercede for them except the most merciful of all merciful ones. So He will take out a handful from fire and bring out a people who never worked for any good.”66 There are also other sayings“Surely, a day will come over hell when it will be like a field of corn that has dried up after flourishing for a while”; and again, “Surely a day will come over hell when there shall not be a single human being in it.”67 Another saying of ‘Umar on record’ is also worthwhile quoting here-”Even if the dwellers in hell may be numberless as the sands of desert a day will surely 172 x come when they will be taken out of it.” Thus according to the view of many commentators, the Qur-an rejects the popular doctrine of the eternity of the hell. The punishment of hell is not everlasting for faithful (Muslims). It is meant to clean a (Sinner) man of the dross which is a hindrance in his spiritual progress, and when that object has been achieved, its need vanishes. Those in paradise shall not be idle, but they shall be continually exerting themselves to reach the higher stages. We find that paradise is not only a place to enjoy the blessings of one’s previous good deeds, but it is the starting point of the development of the higher faculties of man. It is for this reason that they are taught to pray ever there to their Lord as we find in Holy Qur-an, “O, our Lord: make perfect for us our light.”69 When the people of heaven will be enjoying pleasure and bliss all of a sudden, they will see a bright light where they will raise their heads, they will see that their Lord is manifested over them. Lord Allah will say“O Men of heaven Bless is be on you; then Allah will see them and the people of Heaven will also see Allah. They will not attend to the pleasures of Heaven, they will rather be observed in the vision of the Lord. They will go on seeing the Allah so much so that He will disappear from their eyes and only His light will remain. Meaning thereby, only the effect of the vision of the Lord will persist.”70 REFERENCES 1. Khan, Md. Farukh, Hadis-Saurabha, Markazi Maktaba Islami Ind., Delhi-6, p.270. 2.

Ind ia n Press tow a rd s Professiona lism : An a p p ra isa l in the Na tiona l Interest x175 Indian Press towards Professionalism : An appraisal in the National Interest Kedar Nath * Mass media have affected and influenced people belonging to all classes in various ways. Justice Sen (1987) rightly held that the mass medium undoubtedly be considered to be one of the most effective weapons in arousing popular conscience and generating public opinion. Mass media perform multifarious functions namely enlightening the public, safeguarding public liberties of citizens and providing entertainment to the masses and in general providing information to the people. It was generally agreed that mass media would have a key role in building up our democratic polity and enlighten the social fabric. In other words, mass media are charged with the responsibility of influencing human being and his faculties in various spheres of life. Impact of Press Undoubtedly, print medium plays an important role as a mass communicator in the modern society. By providing information and opinions on matters of public concern, print medium helps in shaping the minds of people. It can serve independently and as supplementary to other media by giving a balanced account of news along with background, better interactive, investigated and thorough reporting coverage, a wide variety of reading material and shapes of opinion in their columns. Malhan (1985:88) observed that, “Newspapers today occupy a prestigious position in the galaxy of media with their roles varying from an informer to a critic, from a narrator to a commentator, from an investigator to an analyst, from a mentor to a teaser, from a peace preacher to violence or racialism baiter”. Press constitutes the best instrument for enlightening the mind of man and improving him as a rational, moral social being. Press has the major responsibility to provide information and create a climate for discussion. Press, being a fundamental public institution of the society, plays a vital role in creating, shaping and reflecting the public opinion. Press could broaden the impact of writing by bringing knowledge into the hands of the general public. In India, print medium took its roots first in the major provincial capitals of British India – Calcutta, Madras and later Bombay. These cities with their * Department of Defence and Strategic Studies, DDU Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur. 176 x surrounding areas accounted for the bulk of newspaper circulations. As the freedom struggle gained momentum, newspaper was published from the main centers of agitation. Newspaper readership in the beginning continued to remain in urban areas. After independence, the print medium emerged from its precolonial past and spread into semi-urban and rural areas. With the development and growth of newspaper technology and sharp competition, the costs of published a newspaper also rose. The advertising world, the backbone of newspaper industry attracted the highly circulated newspaper fueling the growing difference between big and small newspapers. The power of print medium attracted, big industrialist to invent in newspaper industry. Monopolies and chains have become the order of the day. The missionary zeal of pre-independence days was away to commercial interests. Today, newspaper have become class media catering to the rich and powerful. However, the language newspapers do cater to the lower levels of the society. Though the press is the fundamental institution in our society, it has yet to identify its true post independence role. Press Freedom and Social Responsibility Press Freedom and Social Responsibility are the twin issues, which cause extensive debate around the world. For media, press freedom is a sacred ideal, to be defied, fought for and protected at any cost. For other responsibility is a quality which, media are seen as abusing at any cost. For others responsibility is a quality which, media are seen as abusing and neglecting and even discarding in the pursuit of circulation and profit. In his regard, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru rightly said “There is no such thing as absolute freedom. Freedom is always accompanied by responsibility. Freedom always entails an obligation, whether it is the nation’s freedom or the freedom of the press” (Ahuja, 1998:29). Press has high social responsibility. This view has been reiterated by most of the scholarly journalist. Press has the great role to make decisions instantaneously with a sense of responsibility towards society (Agarwal, 1970). It has been proved many times that the press influences the society. Gorwala (1971) submits that there was a notion prevalent many persons choose journalism to serve the society. He further asserts that the tendency to view journalist as a member of profession seem to rest largely on the recognition of his work, which entail high social responsibility. The association of responsibility seems to rest upon the general belief that the press has much influence in society. Rau (1968) contends that journalism is a profession with its own sense of fellowship as a profession. The main idea behind acknowledging journalism as a profession is the pursuance. This is well indicated by a much quoted phrase from a judgement of noted judge Frankfurter in the case of Associated Press Vs. US (1943) : In addition to being a commercial enterprise, it (the press) has a relationship to public interest unlike that of any other enterprise of profit ……………. The business of press, is …………. the Ind ia n Press tow a rd s Professiona lism : An a p p ra isa l in the Na tiona l Interest x177 promotion of truth regarding public matters by furnishing the basis for an understanding of them” McQuail, 1933:36). Freedom and responsibility should always be complimentary to each other. The press should accept the responsibilities towards society by giving a true, accurate and objective, balanced picture. It has to reflect the pluralistic character of the society. The theory of responsibility is simple that everyone is responsible for the consequences of an action. An old legal maxim very aptly says, “No right without responsibilities”. Is Journalism A Profession? The professions have long carried distinct moral obligations with respect to public and private decision making and behavior. What we do as professionals and how we do it, whether in commercial or non-profit contexts, our sense of integrity and our regard for self and others, affects the lives of every one. However, journalism is a noble profession, as it is service oriented, yet a section of researchers held different points with reference to journalism as a profession. It is contended that newspaper journalism is a profession with its own techniques, traditions and sense of fellowship. There is a distinction of journalistic profession from other professions with the vital aspects like freedom of speech and expression is a very wide fundamental right, whereas the legal and medical practitioners have no such conventional right and also for its organized industrial aspect. Porter (1968) argues that by the conventional definition of the word ‘ profession’, the occupation of the journalist is not a professional at all, as there is no formal training required either to secure a job or to fit it well. There is no system of licensure or cortication of journalists. Any official body of the profession does not police their activities. Azmi (1977) contends that journalism is a professional as it has a body of knowledge imparted in training institutions affiliated to universities and exercises self regulation to some extent. Karnani (1977) submits that there is no doubt about its status. But whether it even become a profession in the real sense of Law and Medicine, as journalists are all employees and cannot be regarded as independent practitioners. Eapen (1969) has perceived that journalism is on the way to professionalism due to education in journalism which started much earlier in 1938, organization of occupation associations at the national level (the first being IFWJ in 1950), he formation of the Press Council of India for self regulation in 1966. Above all these apprehensions, journalism is a noble profession with its service element and therefore every journalist owes an obligation towards the society. A journalist is described as a social engineer. Hence this profession needs to be necessarily monitored by ethics. 178 x Need for Ethics In modern times when the business angle is gaining priority in newspaper industry, there is a need for an exhaustive and vigorously enforced code of ethics for journalists. There is a controversy about the extent of observance of public interest by the journalists. The press does not exhibit social commitment. The press has not worked in accordance with the declarations made to public. Journalists have assured the public of their observance of high social responsibility. But the public is not convinced by these assurance and made several allegations of neglect of the interest of masses. Indian public is largely unsympathetic to the press and is critical of its performance and efficiency. The allegation of neglecting social interest has been confirmed by various studies of newspaper content. Kamath (1980) in his study analyzed the contents of 8 major English dailies of 4 regions in 1978. It has been found that the social interest has not been given due consideration. Further Indian journalism has been accused of being obsessed with politics at the at the cost of public interest. Indian journalism also to be blamed for urban bias due to monopoly of urban business class and majority come from urban domicile. Newspaper are moneymaking enterprises to their owners, thus considerations of social service or dedication, truth and justice are irrelevant to them. Suppression, distortion or falsification of news leads to loss of hard work as well the initiative or public good. Newspaper journalism is supposed to be he embodiment of self-sacrifice for public interest but this is a myth in the present situation. The declining standards of reportage in newspapers are proved in few of the empirical stasis. According to Sharma (1990), a good majority of journalist agree that they exploit their status for non-journalistic purposes. They subscribe to the view that any reporting which proved false is seldom or never admitted and rectified. It has been accepted that sensationalism has become a practice in journalism to achieve fame and name. Further, hey felt that they have to give preference to proprietor’s business interest. There is the need for a statutory code of ethics for journalists, as was the case with other professions. It is impossible for the law to be over vigilant to conduct the press, as there are vast areas, which are outside the jurisdiction of law and are uncovered by any legal regime. Apart from which the new advances of technologies have imparted urgency to the entire debate of responsibility and the need to draft and redraft existing codes of ethics. Press Codes of Ethics Since early 1920s, codes of professional ethics of journalists began to be formulated. It is code of honor of professional conduct that distinguishes a profession from a mere occupation. A few organizations of journalists have made their effort in Ind ia n Press tow a rd s Professiona lism : An a p p ra isa l in the Na tiona l Interest x179 this direction. The AINEC constituted a code of ethics in 1953. This code defines the calling of journalism as a profession meant to serve and to guard the public interest. Later on in 1986. The AINEC again formulated a code of ethics for the press in reporting and commenting on communal incidents. In 1976, a committee of 17 editors presented a code of ethics for journalists to promote the national unity, solidarity, integrity, the economic and social progress of India and to propagate and project the national objectives of democracy, socialism and secularism. The National Union of journalist in 1981 and the IFWJ in 1986 made declarations on the observance of high degree of norms and social responsibility. The All India Small and Medium Newspapers Association had drawn up a code of ethics in 1975. Contrary to this, the editors Guild of India is against drawing up of any code of ethics for guidance of journalist on the ground that responsible people cannot be governed by codes. Thus a section of journalists are against framing a code for journalism. Apart from these efforts, the Press Council Act 1965 contained a provision in Chapter III under the heading “ Powers and Functions of Press Council” in Sec. 12(2) (b) “to build up a code of conduct for newspapers and journalists in accordance with high professional standards”. This was repeated in the press council Act of 1978 in Sec. 13(2)(b), although the First press Commission hand recommended (1954) the formulation of codes of ethics as one of the prime responsibilities of Press Council, it had been the consistent view of the Council that these provisions spoke of building up a code of conduct. But the attempts at framing an exhaustive code for professional bodies of journalist in various countries including India have either proved futile or resulted in mere enunciation of certain basic principles in general terms. They had not proved when it came to applying them to individual cases. If the Council reduced these principles into a kind of code of conduct of journalistic ethics or propriety, they would have a tendency to attain a degree of rigidity, which might give rise to differing interpretations. So the view that prevailed all along was that it was neither necessary nor desirable or even feasible to draw up a comprehensive code, but it would be better and more useful to build up in course of time. There is an argument that the task of enforcement of the codes cannot be left to the government or the politicians alone. The whole process or system of enforcement of the responsibilities should evolve some kind of code of conduct and evolve the mechanism to implement it. On the other hand, the readers should be involved to represent on the committees and panels assigned in the task of implementing the codes of ethics. This would result in a healthy environment in favor of responsibilities. The Time of India set a new trend by appointing Justice P.N. Bhagwati, Retired Chief Justice of Supreme Court of India as its internal ombudsman. The Nav Bharat Times, a Hindi Daily of the Time group also appointed Mr. T.N. Chaturvedi, former, Comptroller and Auditor 180 x General of India as its ombudsman. The idea of ombudsman is of Swedish origin. Though the concept of ‘Ombudsman’ originated in Sweden, the press in USA first adopted it. The Ombudsman is an independent person appointed on a non-renewable, non-cancelable contract to monitor the contents of a newspaper. A senior professional appointed from outside, reviews the contents on a daily basis to evaluate a newspaper’s adherence to the principles of professional journalism. The other suggested media monitoring mechanisms include the formation Editorial Committees to rigorously scrutinize the contents of their own media. It is for the newspaper organization to have a mission statement or statement of goals and objectives with the editorial position of the newspaper from time to time. It is possible then for both the employees and public to measure the performance against its stated objectives. This method is essential because a proper evaluation of performance or a proper monitoring of content can only be done if one knows what the aims, goals and objectives of the medium are? Social institutions such as consumer group, voluntary organization, courts research institutions could play a role in studying the manifest contents of newspaper of determining the amount of coverage give to various issues and the bias – the extent to which the media are performing their gate- keeping and agenda setting role. Sometimes, the existence of these mechanisms is resentful among media professions as they consider a direct threat to the freedom of expression and to their perception of the moral mission of media. The Mac Bride Report says that the codes of ethics at national and in some cases, at the regional level are desirable, provided that such codes are prepared and adopted by the profession itself, without government interference. The fast pace of technological developments throws up a complex gamut of regulatory challenges to society. Press Ownership The India press has been a private commercial since the days of pre independence. Today individuals own the largest number of newspaper with a circulation of more than 1/3rd of share of the total circulation with ¾ of the total number of newspaper published in India. Joint Stock companies, many of the industrial and commercial ventures constitute another 1/3rd of share of total circulation even though they own only 7.9% of the total newspapers published in the country. It is to be noted that the government publications are few (1.7% of the total number of newspaper published) and have a mere 2 percent share of the circulation. There are a small number of newspapers brought out by the cooperatives religious and political groups or by journalist themselves (RNI Report, 2001). The Times of India is the largest publishing house. Indian Express Group is the closest Ind ia n Press tow a rd s Professiona lism : An a p p ra isa l in the Na tiona l Interest x181 competitor owned by Goenka Industrial House over the Birla’s own Hindustan Times Group, Anand Bazar Group. Malayala Manorama Group rules the roost. Ownership of newspapers is thus concentrated in the hands of these few groups; as a result wield much power. The concentration of ownership is a major threat to a free press and ethics for it considerably narrows the range of opinion and the field of debate (Kumar, 1982). The commercialization of the press attached big industrialists like Birla, Goenka, Dalmai to acquire interests in newspaper industry. It development of concentration of ownership in the newspaper industry and brought profound alterations in the character of he national press. The chain newspapers are up surging and led that a few press barons decide what majority of newspaper reading public in India should be told very morning. Multiplying circulations and swelling advertising revenues now beckon the newspaper proprietors. As time passes on, the concentration of ownership in the newspaper industry steadily continues to increase. The second Press Commission also considered the ownership structure of big newspapers and accepted that where newspapers are controlled by industrial house, hey become mere instruments promoting owner’s business interest at the helm of public interest. But the Commission does not believe that the solution lies in destroying in industrial character of big newspapers. In an empirical study of Sharma (1990), it is felt that the journalists accept that if there is clash between the management’s interests and public interest, the later is always or almost subordinated. Thus newspapers constitute money making enterprises to their owners and the considerations of social service or dedication, truth, justice are irrelevant to them. Editorial Freedom The traditional supremacy of the editor is no longer in existence and holds well in vies of the proprietor. Economics play a major role in shaping information today. Therefore the control of the management is needed to sustain the economic independence of the paper. The proprietor interferes directly or indirectly in the editorial independence. The moral mission of the media takes second place. Editorial policy directly relates to the editorial freedom. In India, newspaper organizations mostly the proprietors lay down the editorial policy in view of their business interest. Journalist are compelled to follow these policies as against to their professional demands. A journalist is expected to operate within this framework of editorial policy. The Second Press Commission (1982) evaluates the controversy and concluded that the right of the owner to lay down in advance the editorial policy can not be taken away. But as long as the management states editorial policies in advance, every employee journalist has to follow. Mulgaokar (1971) stated that it is unhealthy that the adherence to a particular policy affects the fairness, objectivity and accuracy of significance to the newspaper reading community because such views are against the interests of the proprietor or a 182 x certain class or classes of people. The Constitutional protection of freedom of pres is extended not only to journalists who do the newsgathering, but also to the owners of media outlets through which information is disseminated. Media owners may or may not give enormous freedom to their editors and reporter. But that has become a matter of choice, but not law. If the media owners continue to attempt their own biases in newspaper coverage, they have to risk loosing the readers who are capable of judging balance and accuracy in reporting among the array of journalistic products available in this information market place. This tendency of viewing news as just one more “Profit Centre” among corporate board of directors certainly result out to be a great decline. Education and Training There is unanimous agreement over the need for education and training to strive for excellence in the area of journalism. The need for education and training is acknowledged by note journalist. Professional education in all possible forms and training provides a theoretical and academic basis for journalism practitioners. Education is perhaps the best monitoring mechanism. It is necessary to educate, on the way the media works and on the way in which media decisions are made and forces which act as restraints. So that a more informed discussion of media role in society and an understanding of necessity of freedom to ensure its responsibility is spread among the practitioners. Further it is unreal and unfair to expect a journalist to adhere to a moral standard when his qualifications are inadequate to the tasks he has to fulfill. The best method in which an ethical code can be maintained by journalist is when they become professionals in terms of educational levels, qualifications and incomes. The UGC status report (1981) on Journalism education stressed the need for training. The Desai Committee (1977) holds that most of the institutions do not train in the roles of a communicator and social animator and suggested that journalism departments should adopt a cluster of villages as the Faculty’s Laboratory to inculcate concern for rural, cultural and social interest. Working Conditions A journalist who does not enjoy good pay and working conditions can not help to advance the cause of responsibility and ethics, as they will be tempted to fall prey to corruption and the so called envelope journalism is going to survive. A study of the background of journalist working in Indian media organizations shows great variation in professional standards, incomes and benefit packages. While established national media maintain very high standards, the same can not be said for the small newspaper or regional language newspapers in rural Ind ia n Press tow a rd s Professiona lism : An a p p ra isa l in the Na tiona l Interest x183 areas wherein the journalist are not qualified and are low paid. The Working Journalists and other Newspaper Employees (Conditions of Service and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1955 lays down the minimum standards of service conditions applicable to journalists and newspaper employees. The Working Journalists (Fixation of Rates of Wages) Act 1958 prescribes the minimum rates of wages payable to journalists. These legislations are mandatory and cannot be argued that such laws have an adverse effect on the viability of newspapers and therefore threaten freedom of press. Accordingly, the Supreme court has held that these laws are essential social legislations. This Act made a provision for the establishment of a Wage Board for fixing basic salaries, hours of work, provident fund and regulation of service conditions. Many a not have statutory mandate. In spite of these legislations, still there is inadequacy in monitoring the strict implementation of the provisions incorporated in different legislations. In the exchange for elusive access to inside information, journalists are easily drawn into a vicious circle dominated by a culture of nepotism; patronage and money politics in which the corruption practices of gifts have been largely prominent. CONCLUSION Though codes of ethics are formulated far ahead since 1920s in India, but they don not address enforcement. It is the code of honor of professional conduct that distinguishes a profession from a mere occupation. Hence a Statutory Code of Ethics must be formulated applying to all the mass media, integrating the media personnel in different roles. And the implementation of the code shall be strictly attached to the upgraded Media Council of India in the place of the Press Council of India. Countering to the criticism leveled against the Press Council of India, there require certain modifications to this august body. The Press Council should be upgraded and restructured as the Media Council to bring all the mass media under its purview. There is a need to create Regional Councils on each language. It has to undertake the task of educating the press on its existence and secondly on its functions and powers. There is a need for multiplicity of media monitoring mechanisms in promoting ethical standards. Professional ethics be continuously upgraded and strengthened in terms of training, research and resource inputs with the view of upholding and promoting standards. Regional organizational and educational institutions should be encouraged to carryout comparative research on media ethics. The output of such a research should be widely publicized. Appropriate regional organizations should compile and circulate a recommended framework drawn from codes of ethics from various countries and invite communication practitioners to define the framework drawn from codes of ethics from various countries and invite communication practitioners to define the framework in actionable terms within their national context. There should follow regional acceptable standards of ethics on issues such as violence, 184 x horror and sex. The journalistic ethics formulated from time to time and the relevant publications on ethics and standards mist be translated to different languages and should be widely circulated to the comfort of stringers. Training is required not only for the reporter but for the whole desk. Minimum educational qualifications shall be prescribed for journalists. Licensing may be made mandatory for journalists at the entry level. A lot of the language newspaper are functioning more or less through stringers for various reasons. This has created a situation in which cases of defamation; misreporting, exaggeration and unprofessional standards surface on. And the monitoring of language newspaper is not as powerful as English language newspapers. Expert panels may be created at the level of each newspaper organization at least to monitor the coverage of the most sensitive issues such as communal or war related, health, women issues etc. More than codes, there should be constant endeavor to develop professional conscience among the practitioners. Media Council can request all of those associations to include in their constitutions or their rules, a provision that if these directions given by the media Council are not complied with, then the associations should suspend or cancel their membership till such time as they comply with their directions. Reservation may be instituted for membership for women in the ensuing Media Council, keeping in view the coverage of women related issues and problems effecting the women in different media.

Wilson’s singular achievement and literary legacy is a cycle of ten plays known as the Pittsburgh Cycle. Each play is set in a different decade depicting the comedy and tragedy of the African American experience in the twentieth century. As a descendant of the black slave family, Wilson always felt the need to recognize the struggles that his forefathers endured in their journey towards emancipation. Snodgrass in August Wilson : A Literary Companion remarks, “Wilson divulged that his parents concealed the wrongs and indignities they suffered in their early years “(215) . Wilson found this position disturbing and Savran quotes Wilson’s perspective on his parents’ attitude in the book entitled Their Own In Words : The fact of slavery is something that blacks , do not teach their kids –they do not tell their kids that at one time we were slaves.That is the most crucial and central thing to our presence here in America.It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Why is it, after spending hundreds of years of bondage, that blacks in America do not once a year get together and celebrate the Emancipation and remind ourselves of our history?(295) Through his writing Wilson endeavours to illuminate the past of those unspoken African American people. This paper demonstrates how he aims to teach that the history must be shared and accepted and then valued for the lessons that it teaches before the future can be achieved. The play taken up for analysis is The Piano Lesson, which fetched the second Pulitzer Prize for Wilson, the doyen of twentieth century American Theatre. The action of the play centres on an old family piano. Berniece lives in * Research Scholar, Department of English, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar-608002, Tamilnadu Email : jose.soumya686@gmail.com Lib era tion a nd Rec og nition of C ultura l Roots : An Ap p ra isa l of Aug ust ... x 187 Pittsburgh with her uncle, Doaker and her daughter, Maretha. Her brother Boy Willie comes from the South to sell the piano to gather enough money to buy a piece of land owned by the son of their former slave owner, Sutter. Berniece keeps the family piano, with its beautiful carvings and dark past in her parlour. She keeps it clean and dusted, but will not touch its ivory keys. She sees blood on those keys. The piano represents a family history that Berniece can not cope with and so it remains untouched by her. Berniece can not deal with her family’s tragic past. She can not let go off the memory of the father who died retrieving the piano from the slave owning family that possessed it. She can not see past the sweat of her slave grandfather who carved the faces of her family on its wooden surface or the tears of her mother as she played it , mourning over her lost husband. Wilson portrays Boy Willie as a character who sees the piano as a means to achieve his life goal. Boy Willie’s approach towards the much revered family piano springs up from his utilitarian attitude. As an unemployed youth in his early thirties, Boy Willie dreams of a prosperous future by selling the piano which is a reminder of their days of slavery. Boan, in the article entitled “ Call and Response : Parallel ‘Slave Narrative’ in August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson” comments , “No one seems to require psychological reconstruction through material means more than Boy Willie”(265). Boy Willie believes that land ownership will provide an equal footing with the whites. As Boan notes, “Boy Wille embarks on an archetypal quest for selfrealization by attempting to purchase the very land that his family had been forced to work as slaves, and working it himself for his own profit “ (268).Boy Willie explains to Berniece, “If my daddy had seen where he could have traded the piano in for some land of his own, it wouldn’t be sitting up here now. He spent his whole life farming somebody else’s land. I ain’t gonna do that”(46). Boy Willie tries to achieve what his forefathers have not even dared to dream of. He yearns to attain the social and economic mobility which was denied to his ancestors. For Boy Willie, the prospect of selling the piano and buying Sutter’s land is, according to Elam, “a counter claim on what constitutes ownership and the right of property”(147). Berniece can not agree with the reasons that Boy Willie projects to justify his plan to sell the piano.According to Berniece : BERNIECE : Money can’t buy what that piano cost.You can’t sell your soul for money.It won’t go with the buyer.It’ll shrivel and shrink to know that you ain’t taken on to it.But it won’t go with the buyer.(50) Boy Willie considers piano as a property left by his grandfather for him to start life anew. He says : 188 x BOYWILLIE : I ain’t talking about selling my soul. I’m talking about rading that piece of wood for some land. Get something under your feet. Land the only thing God ain’t making no more of. You can always get you another piano. I am talking about some land .What you get something out the ground from….You can’t do nothing with that piano but sit up there and look at it.(50) Berniece’s approach to the piano is sentimental where as Boy Willie’s is pragmatic and practical .According to Boy Willie, if he could sell the piano and buy Sutter’s land it would be something quite worthwhile in comparison with the foolish sentimental reverence that his sister confers on the family piano. But Berniece has her own justifications for the reverence that she pays to the piano: BERNIECE : Mama Ola polished this piano with her tears for venteen years. Seventeen years she rubbed on it till her hands bled. Then she rubbed the blood in. . .mixed it up with the rest of the blood on it . Every day that God breathed life into her body. She rubbed and cleaned and polished and prayed over it. (52) Boy Willie tries his best to convince Berniece of the prospects that a piece of land would offer : BOY WILLIE : If you got a piece of land you will find everything else fall right into place. You can stand right up next to the white man and talk about the price of cotton. . . .The weather and anything else you want to talk about. If you teach that girl that she living at the bottom of life, she’s gonna grow up and hate you. (92) Like Wilson’s parents, Berniece does not divulge the stories behind the carvings on the piano to her daughter, Maretha. When Boy Wille asks Maretha whether his mother told her how that pictures got on the piano, she replies, “She say it just always been like that since she got it”(22). On another occasion Boy Willie points out the necessity to reveal the history of the piano to Maretha. Boy Willie asserts : BOY WILLIE : If you want to tell her something tell her about the piano. You ain’t even told her about that piano. Like that’s something to be ashamed of. Like she supposed to go off and hide somewhere about that piano. You ought to mark Lib era tion a nd Rec og nition of C ultura l Roots : An Ap p ra isa l of Aug ust ... x 189 down on the calendar the day that Papa Boy Charles brought that piano into the house. You ought to mark that day down and draw a circle around it . . . and every year when it come up throw a party. . . If you did that she wouldn’t have no problem in life. She could walk around with her head held high. (91) Boy Willie and his friend Lymon make a futile attempt to move the piano out of the house. When he tries to lift the piano everybody in the house feels the presence of Sutter’s ghost which disturbed Berniece earlier in the play. Wilson, here exploits the dichotomy between Christianity and African traditional beliefs to establish his point that a return to their cultural roots is inevitable for the complete liberation of African Americans from the shackles of slavery. In the beginning of the play, Berniece vehemently voices her disagreement with this faith in the ghosts of the Yellow Dog. “I don’t want to hear that nonsense. Somebody down there pushing people in their wells” (5). At the same time Berniece does believe in the Holy Ghost and actually sees Sutter’s ghost. She, more than any other character, on some conscious level, recognizes the presence, the coexistence of the ancestors within the world of living. She confesses to Avery, “I used to think them pictures came alive and walked through the house” (70). Her decision not to play the piano is a deliberate attempt to avoid waking these spirits. The Christian image in the play comes to the limelight when Berniece makes an arrangement with Avery to exorcise the ghost of Sutter from their house. Avery represents the force of Christianity in the Black world: “Thirty eight years old, dressed in a suit and tie with a gold cross around his neck. He carries a small Bible. (22)” Avery carries the “written word” (22) with him, which serves as the white man’s God. Avery represents the Christian way in the play. He is a minister and feels he has been “called”. Avery has a dream in which the Lord speaks to him. He relates : AVERY : I had a peace about myself that was hard to explain. I knew right then that I had been filled with the Holy Ghost and called to be a servant of the Lord. It took me a while before I could accept that. But then a lot of little ways God showed me it was true. So I became a preacher. (25) The conflict between African traditional beliefs and Christianity reaches its climax at the end of the play. Berniece asks Avery to bless the house so that the ghost of Sutter will flee. After reading the Bible, the previous night, Avery comes to the house and begins the ceremony as follows : 190 x AVERY : O Holy Father we gather here this evening in the Holy name to cast out the spirit of one James Sutter. May this vial of water be empowered with thy spirit. May each drop of it be a weapon and a shield against the presence of all evil and may it be a cleansing and blessing of this humble abode. (104) The entire act of exorcism is reliant on the words in the Bible. Avery’s blessing and exorcism do not work. Christian words fail in front of the demons of the past. Boy Willie does not believe in Christianity. He sees that religion is useless against the ghost, and he takes on the ghost physically. Berniece knows that she cannot win by herself. She knows that the power lies with the ancestors within the piano. She begins her own exorcism; she plays the piano and sings: BERNIECE : I want you to help me. . . Mama Berniece . . . I want you to help me Mama Esther. (107) Thus she helps Boy Willie and they begin to win over the ghost that haunts them. Berniece accepted the past and her ancestors and drove away the ghost of Sutter. Berniece, by accepting the tenets of African traditional beliefs was able to accomplish something Avery could not do with all his words and the Bible. Wilson chose the African way to overcome the obstacles in The Piano Lesson. With the final scene of The Piano Lesson, Wilson reifies the African oral tradition and questions the validity of African American faith in conventional Christianity. Western culture has embraced the miracles of saints, the appearance of angels, the power of otherworldly forces within the testament of the Bible, but has dismissed traditional African Religion’s magic and worship of invisible spiritual beings as primitive and unreasonable. Wilson’s juxtapositioning of ghost, religious traditions and spirituality within the narrative of The Piano Lesson argues against such western cultural superiority. Berniece’s invocation of the ancestors in conjunction with Boy Willie’s call to battle exorcises the ghosts of the past that threaten the present. Her action strengthens the bond of familial ties and reaffirm “the African” in American experience. Boy Willie does not feel ashamed or afraid of his past, but he ignores its significance ,not truly understanding the value in its teachings and how it passes a story on to the future. In the end Boy Willie understands how powerful the preservation of the past is, as Berniece uses the piano itself to exorcise the ghost of Sutter,the son of slave owners and the cloud of darkness that hung over their family tree. When Berniece plays the piano, Boy Willie understands that preservation of the past is inevitable and it is something that can not be measured Lib era tion a nd Rec og nition of C ultura l Roots : An Ap p ra isa l of Aug ust ... x 191 in money. Wilson truly shows that understanding the past is valuable and worth more than monetary things ,something that should be cherished and understood, especially in the African American past with its constant struggle for self. He strongly believes that there is no future for African Americans who refuse to fully embrace their past under racial slavery.

New York : Plume, 1990. 192 x Wallace Stevens Exponency : Owl’s Clover and the Social Imagination Nisha Somarajan * The Development of the poem The Old Woman and the Statue (1934) into the fivepoem sequence Owl’s Clover (1936) was prompted by the 1935 review of Ideas of Order by Marxist Stanley Burnshaw. Owl’s Clover is anomalous in Stevens’ work in the explicitness of its engagement with contemporaneous social and political circumstances, featuring in its cast of characters Burnshaw himself, the socialist “Bulgar,” and gun-wielding Europeans in Africa. Critical attention to the poem, which initially focused on the extent to which that engagement is aesthetically successful, has recently focused on the extent to which it is politically satisfactory. The present article demonstrates that the poem contains a broader argument about art and deals with the ideal function of art in society. Owl’s Clover develops a conception of the function of art in society that can be called by adapting Stevens’ own term, “exponency.” An exponent can be one who expounds or interprets, a representative, an advocate, or a symbol. Stevens’ conception of the social role of the artist is a subtle compound of all these senses of the term. The conception endures throughout his essays on reality and the imagination and is closely related to his conception, about poetry as a source of supreme fictions. His first statement of this conception appeared on the jacket of the 1936 trade edition of Ideas of Order (Bates 192). “The more realistic life may be,” Stevens writes, “the more it needs the stimulus of the imagination”; and “in any society, the poet should be the exponent of the imagination of that society” (OP 223). The wording is significant: the poet is to be the exponent not of his own imagination but of his society’s imagination This, in concentrated form, is the central contention of “Owl’s Clover. The idea of poetic exponency that emerges in Owl’s Clover and afterwards, in Stevens’ essays is a conceptual relative of reflection theories of art and as such embroils itself in a number of the difficulties that reflectionism entails. A superficial sort of reflectionism is a commonplace in ordinary thinking about art. As Francis Sparshott puts it, “it is obvious that all art reflects the society in which it is produced, in the sense that the artist shares the beliefs and attitudes of his fellows and exploits a repertoire of themes and forms that he finds current” (268). In this sense the idea of “reflection” is indeed a truism with few implications * Research Scholar, Department of English, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar Wa lla c e Stevens Exp onenc y : Ow l’s C lover a nd the Soc ia l Im a g ina tion x193 for the understanding of the nature of art. But reflection has also been put forward as a theory of the function of art: “it is… sometimes said that it is the function of a culture’s arts as a whole to provide a sensible and emotional counterpart for the configuration of their society: that is, to symbolize it” (Sparshott 268). It is this conception of reflection as the function-that is, the social significance and importance-of art that Stevens’ principle of exponency absorbs. All forms of reflectionism implicitly rely on a conception of the connection of art to its society as somehow organic and insofar as organic, necessary of inescapable. The modernists, however, had no such comfortable confidence in the relation of their art to its age. One of their pervasive preoccupations was concerned with how to create a genuine literature of the time. A poet might easily lose years, as Pound feared, “Observ[ing] the elegance of Circe’s hair/Rather than the mottoes on sun-dials” (61). Stevens felt the threat of this spectacle no less acutely than his contemporaries, and his conception of poetry as the exponent of the social imagination seems to have developed at least in part as a response to it. His commitment to that conception was strengthened further by his consciousness of what he feared were the grievous psychological consequence-individual and social-of the collapse of that edifice of the Western imagination, the Christian heaven. Stevens ascribes to an essentially reflections conception of the sustaining function of art in society, but, in an attempt to forgo reflectionism’s untenable organicism he proposes that function as a normative, rather than a natural, principle. In the form of the principle of exponency, he maintains a version of reflectionism as an ethical imperative-the sole ethical imperative of the artist. This ethical imperative is dramatized in The Old Woman and the Statue, which begins by confronting the specter of an art out of all spiritual alignment with its age. The section opens with an image of a statue in a park-a group of winged marble horses pushing off into flight. What is described is the sculptor’s vision of how his creation would spring to life surrounded by a ring of trees in the shifting light of a windy autumn sky. Trees and light the sculptor envisioned, but no human beholder other than his own disembodied consciousness implicitly on the scene of its own imagining. So imagined, the marble is dramatically alive: white forelegs taut To the muscles’ very tip for the vivid plunge, The heads held high and gathered in a ring At the center of the mass, the haunches low, Contorted, staggering from the thrust against The earth as the bodies rose of feathery wings... (OP 75) That living force is abruptly obliterated at the entrance of the consciousness 194 x that does not respond to it. At the appearance of the eponymous old woman, The mass of stone collapsed to marble hulk, Stood stiffly, as if the black of what she thought Conflicting with the moving colors there Changed them, at last, to its triumphant hue….(OP 76) The old woman is generally understood as a casualty of the Depression, her obliviousness to the statue a consequence of that, and this section of the poem as an account of art rendered impotent or irrelevant in the face of material exigency. Material poverty is accompanied by depression of spirit, and it would be wrong to discount either Stevens’ intentions or the Depression-era context of the poem. But as the woman is presented as suffering from material poverty, that poverty is figured largely metaphorically, through terms of spiritual or psychological distress. Introduced as a “bitter mind,” the woman walks: with chalky brow scratched over black And black by thought that could not understand Or, if it understood, repressed itself Without any pity in a somnolent dream. (Op 76) In cantos III and IV the woman’s mind is described in terms of darkness, isolation, fear, and inarticulate straining-her trouble is the vast and shapeless night in which her mind endures; she walks “search[ing] for clearness” (OP 76). The strongest indication of material poverty in these cantos is the word “destitute” (“She was that tortured one,/So destitute” [OP 76]), but “destitute” in this context is at least as easily understood spiritually as materially. Two further possible indications of material poverty appear in canto V, which speaks of “a need that pressed like cold,/Deadly and deep” and of the “Suffering, which fate assigns /To the moment” (OP 77-78). In the first case the “need” is conveyed in terms just as abstract as the terms of the earlier “destitution” and just as readily interpretable in spiritual terms. From the latter instance, with its indication of external forces, of circumstance, the best case can be made for representation of the Depression. But this indication does not shift the emphasis of the preceding cantos away from the psychological suffering-the repressed thought, the mental night, and the search for clarity. The emphasis on the psychological is a sign of the tension between Stevens’ undertaking to write a poem that would respond to social and political circumstances and his other, not wholly incompatible but somewhat distracting, undertaking to discount the need for that response by articulating his conception of art as the exponency of the imagination. In canto V the narrative voice breaks into what Helen Vendler calls “a nostalgic crescendo,” “an apotheosis, irrelevant in its way, of evening untroubled by suffering” (104-05)-untroubled, by the old woman. Though the narrative voice is not distinctly differentiated from that of the preceding cantos, there is a Wa lla c e Stevens Exp onenc y : Ow l’s C lover a nd the Soc ia l Im a g ina tion x195 discernible distance between the poet’s voice and this rueful vision. The vision is aligned with that of the sculptor in canto II, the descriptive vocabulary here being but a subtle variation on the first. the legs Would flash in air, and the muscular bodies thrust Hoofs grinding against the stubborn earth, until The light wings lifted through the crystal space Of night. How clearly that would be defined! (OP 78) The sculptor’s cry for clarity lost is as abortive as the woman’s search for the same. As the artist’s work is inert, so is the woman destitute. Woman and artist by their failure to connect are mutually forsaken. “The Old Woman and the Statue” does not make explicit the cause of the statue’s failure to prevail against the darkness of the woman’s mind, but it does suggest two possibilities, not mutually exclusive: that the sculptor, fashioned the statue for the audience of his own consciousness alone; or that the statue represent not the unintelligible product of solipsism, but a vision of sublimity to which the disenchanted contemporary mind is unable to respond. Both of these possibilities are supported by the context of the poem as a whole. Several critics have understood “Owl’s Clover” as entailing and interrogation by Stevens of his own poetics, identified as “romantic.” Harvey Teres, though not on an antagonistic note, argues that in the global political crisis of the early and mid-thirties Stevens “was forced to interrogate his own understanding of the imagination his relationship to romanticism, and ultimately his role as poet” (154). The obsolete aesthetic represented by the statue does appear to be a romantic one-romantic in the derogatory sense of florid, overwrought, and impossibly transcendental. Although the first canto of “Mr. Burnshaw and the Statue” records the Marxist’s contemptuous dismissal of the status as a “jotting-down of the sculptor’s foppishness,” and the second canto opens with the poet’s call to “celestial paramours” to “Chant sibilant requiems for this effigy” (OP 79), the over-glorious, sky-aspiring statue is not an embodiment of an aesthetic that Stevens would have considered himself as having a stake in. His injunctions to the muses in Mr. Burnshaw and the Statue not to “weep for peacocks that are gone/Or dance the death of doves” and to be “No longer of air but of the breathing earth” (OP 80/83) are but reiterations of one of his already most established themes. Stevens’ conception of exponency entails, a rather drastic view of the spiritual expiration of art. In the context of “Owl’s Clover,” that the statue embodies a romantic aesthetic is less important than that it has ceased to suffice, as all creations of the imagination, eventually, will cease to suffice: romanticism is not revealed to be a falsehood, only a superannuated truth. 196 x Mr. Burns haw and the Statue, which follows “The Old Woman and the Statue,” develops this sense of aesthetic transience. It constitutes a rejection of the ancient equation of art and immortality and, by implication, the cultural and historical universalism of humanism. The idea of exponency at work in “Owl’s Clover” does slip at times into organicism, positing a connection between art and society that Stevens would later describe as “umbilical” (OP 263). If art is umbilically related to its society, it follows that art, in an important sense, is truly alive only in the cultural moment of its creation. Mr. Burnshaw and the Statue repudiates the comforts of the equation of art and immortality and its implicit universalism and replaces them with a rather uncompromising view of the recoverability of the past-a stoic embrace of the implacability and finality of change. But this view of change is one significantly constrained by the lingering organicism in Stevens’ conception of poetic exponency. The lingering reliance on organicist conceptions of both society and the relation of art to society is something that Stevens would manifest some trouble with in his essays, though without ever quite relinquishing it. In “Owl’s Clover,” that reliance, discernible in Mr. Burnshaw and the Statue, is disclosed in The Greenest Continent. Owl’s Clover begins with the images of the artist and the old woman mutually forsaken. It comes toward its end by generalizing the figure of the woman into an entire generation and her blackened thought that “could not understand/Or, if it understood, repressed itself” (OP 76) into the ominous portent brooding over the heads of that generation “that does not know itself” (OP 98). When Stevens began developing his conception of poetry as a source of supreme fictions in the early 1940s, he was reformulating the sense of the function of art in society he had expressed in Owl’s Clover. Like the principle of exponency, the supreme fiction idea holds the poet to the rather exalted and grave position of responsibility for the imaginative, which is to say, the psychological, wellbeing of his society. Also like the principle of exponency, the notion of supreme poetic fictions embroils itself in positing (or tries to will into existence) both a connection between the poet and society that is somehow organic and a society that is somehow an organic unity. Stevens’ principle of exponency, like reflection, conceives of psychological or spiritual change as an alteration in a unified sensibility, but not as a change from unity to irreducible plurality. A supreme fiction, a we know, “Must Change”; but Stevens seldom considers seriously the idea that it might shatter. The “incalculable difficulty” of writing “the poetry of the present” (NA 115) is rendered incalculably more difficult if there is no coherence of present sensibility: the exponent of the social imagination must have a coherent social imagination to represent. At least as late as 1951, Stevens was still treating America almost as though it would produce poetry in the way Wa lla c e Stevens Exp onenc y : Ow l’s C lover a nd the Soc ia l Im a g ina tion x197 that ancient and tribal societies one produced gods: “the gods of China are always Chinese; ….the gods of Greece are always Greeks” (OP 263), and if “there is such a thing as an American [,] …. the poems that he writes are American poems” (OP 315).
