12 Bibliography I. UNPUBLISHED PRIVATE PAPERS THE Private Papers of British rulers and Indian nationalists will always remain the most useful source for the Indian National Movement and British policy. The 'gaps' and the 'dark patches' of history which cannot be explained by official records and newspapers are often illuminated with the aid of Private Papers. The first phase of the National Movement from 1885 to 1910 (the birth of Congress and the growth of Muslim separatism) is fortunate to have many legacies of Private Papers. Of the five Viceroys who ruled India from 1885 to 1910 (Dufferin, ; Lansdowne, 1888-g4; Elgin n, ; Curzon, ; Minto 11, ), each has left behind a mass of private correspondence which explains his policies, prejudices, and attitude towards the national or sectarian aspirations of the Indian middle classes. Added to this are the Private Papers of two Secretaries of State for India, a Conservative G. Hamilton, , and a Liberal J. Morley, The India Office Library, London, houses the Private Papers of Duffer in (microfilm copy), Lansdowne (Mss. EUR. D558), Elgin n (Mss. EUR. D558), Curzon (Mss. EUR. FI I I), Hamilton and Morley (Mss. EUR. E233); Minto papers are in the custody of the National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh. From the Private Papers of Indian nationalists, however, emerges a somewhat fuller picture of the early national movement. The papers I have usefully consulted are of G. K. Gokhale, V. S. Srinivasa Sastri, G. S. Khaparde, R. C. Dutt, N. B. Khare, B. Tyabji and P. D. Tandon, all housed in the National Archives of India, New Delhi. The massive collection of Gokhale's papers throws new light on the working of the Congress movement from 18g8 to 1915

13 BIBLIOGRAPHY 229 and on his own role as the leader of the moderate party in Congress. Although the Letters cif S. Sastri are edited and published by T. N.Jagadisan (1963) it is rewarding to look into the original collections. The Private Papers of Tilak's right-hand-man Khaparde give an insight into the working of the extremist party in Congress up to 1920 and enable us to assess the personalities of Tilak and B. C. Pal. The Papers of Khare and, to a lesser extent, of Tandon explain in some measure the role of the Hindu Mahasabha in the 1930S and 1940S in the National Movement. The papers of Tyabji, the first Muslim president of the third Congress in 1887, are most valuable in assessing the growth of Muslim separatism and its pressure on the nationalist Muslims. 2. OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS, NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS These are referred to in the chapter references. The government publications are massive and fall into various categories. Of these the Parliamentary Debates are valuable for a study of the British policy, and the Indian Census Reports and Moral and Material Progress Reports (published annually since 1858) for some understanding of the social changes. The Indian National Congress published the proceedings of each of its annual sessions. These Reports are indispensable for a specialised study of the Congress Movement up to Among periodicals H. N. Mitra's Indian Annual Registers (starting from 1919 and turning into QuarterlY Register from 1924 to 1929) are an authentic record of the main political events up to BIOGRAPHIES, MEMOIRS AND DIARIES The works consulted may be divided into three categories according to their usefulness for the understanding of the persons, periods or subjects. The place of publication is London unless stated otherwise.

14 230 BIBLIOGRAPHY Max Mueller's Biographical Essays (1884) and C. Isherwood's Ramkrishna and his Disciples (1965) contain sympathetic appraisals of the ideas and personalities of the Hindu renaissance including Dayanand and Vivekananda. W. Wedderburn's Allan Octavian Hume (1913), though not critical, is the only accurate account of the life and works of the founder of the Congress movement. Similarly G. F. T. Graham's The Life and Works qf Syed Ahmad Khan (Edinburgh, 1885) still holds the field as the standard English biography of the founder of Muslim separatism. Of the many biographies of Gokhale and Tilak, the two great leaders of the first phase of Indian nationalism, S. A. Wolpert's Tilak and Gokhale, Revolution and Reform in the making qf the Modern India (Berkeley, 1962) is by far the best. Gandhi has a number of biographers each differing from the other in his interpretations of the mysterious Mahatma. His own account of his life, The Story qfmy Experiments with Truth (first published at Ahmedabad, 1927), though more reflective than factual, is by far the best source on his life and activities up to 1920S. U. N. Pyarelal's Mahatma Gandhi: The Last Phase faithfully describes Mahatma's last struggle against communal violence in the 1940s. D. G. Tendulkar's Mahatma (Bombay, ) in eight formidable volumes is the most authentic account of his life from 1869 to 1948 told mostly in his own writings and speeches. Jawaharlal Nehru's An Autobiography (first published in London, 1936; a cheaper edition published in India, 1962) is as much a story of his life as of Indian politics from 1912 to This may be supplemented with M. Brecher's Nehru: A political biography (Oxford, 1959), which surpasses previous writings on Nehru in authenticity and depth. B. R. Nanda's The Nehrus; Motilal and Jawaharlal (1962) is a brilliant and scholarly study ofthe father and son up to Rajendra Prasad in his Autobiography (Bombay, 1957) narrates his role in politics to the 1940s, in particular the Right-Left tension of the 1930S in Congress. N. D. Parikh's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (Ahmedabad, 1953) and K. L. Panjabi's The Indomitable Sardar: A Political Biography (Bombay, 1962) authentically describe the life and works of the iron man of Congress

15 BIBLIOGRAPHY 231 until his death. H. Bolitho's Jinnah: Creator of Pakistan (1954) provides a character study of the Muslim leader. M. A. H. Ispahani's Qaid-e-kam Jinnah as I Knew Him (Karachi, 1966) furnishes some intimate details about Jinnah's conquests in Bengal and the Punjab. M. H. Saiyid's Mokammad Ali Jinnah: a Political Study (Lahore, 1945), still remains a detailed record ofjinnah's political achievements. Of the works which describe periods rather than portray characters Sir Stan1ey Reed's The India I Knew (1952) is anecdotal, also containing some glimpses of the early twentieth-century social lives of the Sahebs in India. B. C. Pal's Memories of my Life and Times (2 vols., Calcutta, 1951) and Sir S. N. Banerjea's A Nation in the Making (1925) are relevant to the period from 1900 to M. N. Das's India under Morley and Minto (1964), R. S. Wasti's Lord Minto and the Indian Nationalist Movement (Oxford, 1964), S. A. Wolpert Morley and India, (California, 1967), Mary Minto, India, Minto and Morley (1934), and John Viscount Morley's Recollections, vol. ii (1917), together provide a definitive study of the Minto-Morley period of Indian history and the growth of Muslim separatism. Edwin Montagu's An Indian Diary (1930) is a Secretary of State's diary written day by day during his visit to India in The Earl of Halifax's Fulness of days (1957), Viscount Templewood, Nine Troubled Tears (1954), Marquess of Zetland's 'Essayez' (1956), S. Gopal's The Viceroyal9' of Lord Irwin (Oxford, 1957) and the Earl of Birkenhead's The Life of Lord Halifax (1965) are valuable works on the crucial period roughly from 1926 to Gandhi's civil disobedience movement of 1930, Round Table Conferences and the origin of the 1935 Act. A. K. Azad's India wins Freedom (Bombay, 1959) contains his critical analysis of Congress's attitude towards the Muslim League in and 1 940s. S. Ghose's Gandhi's Emissary (1967), though self-centred, gives some new facts on the Cabinet Mission's activities in AIan Campbell-Johnson's Mission with Mountbatten (1951) is a diary of the events and is indispensable for the last phase of the British Raj - March-

16 232 BIBLIOGRAPHY August, Lord Ismay's Memoirs (1960) is relevant for the same period though it yields very little. M. R. Jayakar's The Story of "VI Life, 2 vols. (Bombay, 1958) is essentially an account of Maratha politics from 1895 to 1922 and the rise of Hindu Mahasabha from 1922 to See also C. H. Setalvad's Recollections and Reflections (Bombay, 1946). India's leading businessman and industrialist, G. D. Birla, in his work In the Shadow of the Mahatma: A Personal Memoir (Calcutta, 1953) gives an account of his association with Gandhi from 1916 to 1945, and provides glimpses of economic nationalism. Aga Khan's Memoirs (1954) describes his role in Muslim politics especially in the nine troubled years of 190o-g and again during the Round Table Conferences in the 1930s. 4. GENERAL WORKS Hindu Renaissance r828-r90o On Ram Mohan Roy the best study is S. D. Collet's Life and Letters of Raja Rammohun Ray (3rd ed.) (Calcutta, 1962). The English Works of Raja Ram Mohan Ray (Allahabad, 1906) is the primary source. On Arya Samaj movement the basic work is Dayanand's Satyarth Prakash (English trans. by Dr. Bharadwaja, Allahabad, 2nd ed. 1915). Lajpat Rai's A History of Arya Samaj (rev. ed. Calcutta, 1967) and H. B. Sarda's Dayanand Commemoration volume (Ajmer, 1933) are the standard works. The primary source on the thoughts of Vivekananda is The Complete Works of Vivekanand, 8 vols. (Almora, ). A critical appraisal of his ideas is provided by D. G. Dalton in his unpublished University of London Ph.D. thesis, 'The idea of freedom in the political thought ofvivekanand, Aurobindo, Gandhi and Tagore'. For general works covering various aspects of Hindu renaissance Charles H. Heimsath's Indian Nationalism and Hindu Social Reform (Princeton, 1964) is excellent. T. de Bary's edited Sources of Indian Tradition (Columbia University, 1958) can still be used as a source book. J. N.

17 BIBLIOGRAPHY 233 Farquhar's Modern Religious Movements in India (New York, 1918) remains a standard general work. Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics, vol. ii (New York, 1909), provides authentic accounts of Arya Samaj and Brahmo Samaj movements. Indian Social Riform (ed. C. Y. Chintamani) (Madras, 1901) contains standard articles on individual social problems, and also some of the speeches of Ranade. There is no standard work on the impact of renaissance on Hindu society though S. Natarajan's A Century of Social Riform in India (Bombay, 1959) is a modest attempt. British Policy and &onomic Development Documentation on policy and change is adequately provided by C. H. Philips et al. (eds.) The Evolution of India and Pakistan: Select Documents, (Oxford, 1962), and M. Gwyer and A. Appadorai (eds.), Speeches and Documents on the Indian Constitution ,2 vols. (O.V.P., 1957). T. R. Metcalf's The Aftermath of Revolt: India (Princeton, 1965) is an excellent standard work on the period its title suggests. S. Gopal's British Policy in India (1965), mainly based on the Private Papers of the Viceroys, is a mine of valuable information. The standard works on economic development are Vera Anstey's The &onomic Development of India (1957), R. C. Dutt's &onomic History of India, 2 vols. (19 1-5) and D. R. Gadgil The Industrial Evolution of India (1934). Indian Nationalism General B. B. Misra's The Indian Middle Classes (Oxford, 1961) is a pioneer scholarly work. K. Dwarkadas's India's Fight for Freedom 191:r1937: An eye-witness story (Bombay, 1966) is a critical and invaluable study of Congress and the League to 1937 when they drifted apart. S. R. Mehrotra's India and the Commonwealth (1965) is an authentic and scholarly interpretation of British-Congress-League policies. Anil Seal's The Emergence of Indian Nationalism (Cambridge,

18 234 BIBLIOGRAPHY 1968) provides an excellent analysis of Indian politics in the three Presidencies to D. A. Low (ed.), Soundings in Modern South Asian History (London, 1968)-a collection of eleven articles-shifts the focus from the all-india to the regional politics. J. H. Broomfield's Elite Conflict in a Plural Society,. Twentieth-Century Bengal (University of California, 1968) provides an insight into Bengal politics from 1912 to Congress P. Sitaramayya's The History qf the Indian National Congress, 2 vols. (Bombay, 1946) is the official account, and is factual and accurate though provides dull reading. C. F. Andrews and G. Mooke:rjee's The Rise and Growth qf the Congress in India (rev. ed. Meerut, 1967) and B. and B. P. Mujumdar's Congress and Congressmen in the Pre-Gandhian Era (Calcutta, 1967) fills in a few gaps but lacks scholarship and depth. Dadabhai Naoroji's Speeches and Writings, etc. (Madras, 1910), G. K. Gokhale's Speeches (Madras, 1920), H. W. Nevinson's The New Spirit in India (1908), and P. C. Ghosh's The Development qf the Indian National Congress, (Calcutta, 1960) are useful for the early period to V. C.Joshi (ed.), Lala Lajpat Rai: writings and speeches, 2 vols. (Delhi, 1966) explains the reasons for the rise of Hindu communalism in the 1920S. Dorothy Norman's Nehru. The First Sixty rears (1965), the writings and correspondence of J. Nehru as contained in Independence and After (Delhi, 1949), India and the World (1936) and A Bunch qfold Letters (Bombay, 1958), S. C. Bose's Selected Speeches qf Subhas Chandra Bose (Gov. of India, 1962) and Rajendra Prasad's India Divided (3rd ed. 1947) - these are very useful for the 1930S and 1940s. On Sikhs K. Singh's A History qf the Sikhs, 2 vols. (Princeton, 1963, 1966) is authoritative and readable. Muslim Politics S. A. Khan's An Essay on the Causes of the Indian Revolt (Calcutta, 1860) and W. W. Hunter, The Indian Mussalmans

19 BIBLIOGRAPHY 235 (1871) are the basic works causing a change in British policy towards the Muslims of India. W. C. Smith's Modern Islam in India (1946) provides an economic interpretation of Muslim politics. S. M. Ikram's Modern Muslim India and the Birth cif Pakistan (Lahore, 1965) provides biographical sketches of Muslim luminaries from Hali to Jinnah. R. A. Symonds's The Making cif Pakistan (1950) is a dispassionate study. Lal Bahadur's The Muslim League: Its history, activities and achievements (Agra, 1954), based on archival materials, and Ram Gopal's Indian Muslims: A political history (1959), are biased but valuable general works on Muslim politics. Choudhry Khaliquzzaman's Pathway to Pakistan (1961) is a self-centred and apologetic work by a provincial Muslim leader personally involved in the high politics of Congress and the League. K. K. Aziz's Britain and Muslim India (London, 1963) concentrates mainly on the British attitude towards Muslim nationalism from 1857 to Jamil ud-din Ahmad's Speeches and writings cif Mr. Jinnah 2 vols. (Lahore, 1960, 1964) is an indispensable collection on the career ofjinnah from 1935 to 1948, C. M. Ali's The Emergence cif Pakistan (Columbia University Press, 1967) provides intimate details about the League block in the interim government of The author, then a financial adviser to the government, became the Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1955 to Transfer cif Power V. P. Menon's The Transfer cif Power in India (Calcutta, 1957) and The Story cif the Integration cif the Indian States (first published 1956; cheap ed. Madras, 1961) are authoritative, accurate and dispassionate accounts by a high civil servant who played an important role in the great events of the last years of the Raj. Of the three works on the same theme E. W. R. Lumby's The Transfer cif Power in India, (1954), Michael Edwardes's The Last rears cif British India (1963) and L. Mosley's The Last Days cif the British Raj (1962), the last is by far the best in style and documentation though a little biased in the interpretation of Mountbatten's role. G. D. Khosla's Stern Reckoning; a survry cif the events

20 236 BIBLIOGRAPHY leading Up to and following the partition of India (New Delhi, 1949) mainly deals with the violence in the Punjab. Most valuable are the Papers delivered by participants in the Partition of India Seminar organised and presided over by Professor C. H. Philips at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. The papers concentrate on the period from 1935 to They are to be published shortly.
