“…Until a decade ago, the major pub lic celebration of the Ganesh festival lasted for ten days during August-September. The festival it self became public during India's nationalist movement as part of efforts to unite Hindus against British rule in he early decades of the 20th century (Cashman, 1970). The Ganesh chaturthi is one of the city's and the country's most popular festivals, celebrating the birth of one of the favourite Hindu gods, Ganesha.…”

“…There is ethnohistorical evidence that leaders used temple rituals to project royal authority (Dirks 1987; Eschmann et al 1978; Stein 1978). In colonial society, festivals bore a whole new set of leaders engaged in the independence movement (Cashman 1970; Freitag 1989). Today, as well, party leaders invoke deities, undertake pilgrimages, attend temple festivals, or organize devotional events as part of their (electoral) campaigns (Davis 1996; Kaur 2003; Rao 2003; Schnepel 2003).…”

In this article, I discuss recent changes in Indian leadership images. In a commercialized press, political journalists have adopted new writing styles that turn former political heroes into ambiguous human beings. This development is fueled by a neoliberal restructuring that has fundamentally altered journalists’ professional environment. By viewing press activity through the lens of a major ideological shift, I seek to contribute to an emerging debate about neoliberal practices. I contend that current transitions within the Indian press are not a smooth sail into a new ideological realm but a contradictory practice of personal empowerment through selective reflexivity.

“…This tradition had been invented by the die-hard extremist B. G. Tilak in the 1890s to fuel nationalistic sentiment. 70 The appearance of top-ranking Japanese politicians like the former prime minister Count Okuma (who allegedly turned the event into a 'Pan-Asiatic demonstration' 71 ) at the gathering caused diplomatic turbulence. The Government of India sent a strong protest note, reminding the Japanese leadership that, after all, Japan and Britain had signed a treaty of alliance in which they recognized their respective interests in Asia.…”

Indian Nationalism and the ‘world forces’: transnational and diasporic dimensions of the Indian freedom movement on the eve of the First World War

The present article takes a global perspective on the diasporic networks of Indian revolutionaries that were emerging on the eve of the First World War. It looks particularly at three important headquarters of their activities, namely London, New York and Tokyo. The narrative is centred on the ‘India Houses’ that were opened in these three cities and served as the institutional umbrella units for the revolutionary schemes. Finally, the political alliances forged and the ideological resources tapped in these three settings are sketched out and briefly analysed. The case study makes two points: to begin with, it is important to extend historical scrutiny beyond the geographical bounds of India to fully grasp the development of Indian nationalism in this first peak time of globalization; second, the existence of the sophisticated transnational anti-imperial propaganda networks that are the focus of this study raises doubts about the alleged watershed character of the First World War as the ‘global moment’ that decisively shook the imperial world order. The year 1905, it is argued, was at least as important in this regard.
