This chapter deals with Sahajanand’s life after the Bhumihar Brahmin Mahasabha held at Balia. He had been touched by the behaviour of Bhumihars vis-a-vis Maithil, Kanyakubja and Sarjupari Brahmins. He decided to prove that Bhumihars are as good as any other Brahmins. To that end, he along with some of his sannyasi friends launched massive field studies and proved that Bhumihars have matrimonial relations with all others Brahmins, and at certain places they were also engaged in Purohiti work. He settled down at a village called Kotwa Narayanpur in eastern Uttar Pradesh. Once again a new chapter of his life began as he started reading both Hindi and English newspapers published from Patna. Thus slowly but surely, he was drawn to the political movement under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi.

This is based on the assumption that Bharathiyar and Gandhiji are ideologically united in the liberation movement or in the political movement, in the radical movement and the moderate movement. Mahakavi Bharathiyar and Mahatma Gandhi lived in the same period. Particularly those who emerged during the fall of the Liberation Movement. Their ideas are the foundation of social progress and the development of the individual. Though both the writings of National Liberation are included in the writings of the people, the National Liberation Movement has pointed out many problems with the aim of liberating the people from them. In both writings, the notion that social liberation is the liberation of the nation. The purpose of this article is to identify and explain them.

In the summer of 1966, Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh provinces in India experienced one of the worst and most widespread droughts and crop failures in the history of the region during the twentieth century. Massive local, national, and international relief efforts were provided to prevent death by starvation on an immense scale. Nevertheless, the seriousness of the situation was only gradually and reluctantly accepted by the agencies, institutions, and governments that were ultimately involved in the relief effort. In order to convey the seriousness of the situation to those in a position to help the people of Bihar, local, state, and national politicians adopted a rhetoric that involved defining the situation as a “crisis” of unprecedented proportions. The Bihar Famine of 1966–1967 illustrates the importance of rhetoric and political definitions in distinguishing crises from “normal” situations and in defining the quantity, timing, and recipients of relief.

The processes of democracy in India have inter alia increased the political awareness of those who are violated to be and to remain at the margins of the body politics. The unmet aspirations are countered in multiple ways—Resistance: spontaneous violent outburst among the marginalised; Articulation: action mediated by an outside agency committed to increasing democratic space and life chances of those at the margin; Politics: Increased participation of those at the margin in the institutionalised democratic processes. Focusing on the case of a marginal Dalit community of Eastern Uttar Pradesh the paper documents the form resistances emerging from margins of society. The research charts the evolution of political aspiration amongst the Musahar community in the last two decades with its interface with development and modern politics.

Chapter 2 describes the beginnings of everyday communalism in eastern UP since the late 1990s/early 2000s. Two developments underlie the renewed incidents of communal violence in the 2000s: emergence of new patterns of communal mobilization by the BJP–RSS and the HYV; significant changes in the economy of the region, especially in Mau. Four significant, political strands underlie resulting communal tension and riots: shift from class-based mobilization by left/socialist parties to identity politics, and to criminalization and rise of mafia dons in the Mau-Azamgarh area; the emergence of the backward Muslims movement, leading to rise in political consciousness, fragmented Muslim identity, and autonomous politics; changes following globalization in the weaving industry that have affected the Muslim-Ansari community causing confrontation with Hindu traders. These have provided fertile ground for aggressive everyday communal mobilization by an independent power centre under Yogi Adityanath; the activities of the Gorakhnath Math are also examined.

This article examines the development of political opposition in Scotland from 1695 to 1701 in the context of the Company of Scotland Trading to Africa and the Indies. It is argued that the potency of the political movement inspired by Darien derived from the view that King William was directly implicated in the failure of the colony. Three episodes in the Company's history—the loss of subscriptions in Hamburg, the appearance of memorials in the new world prohibiting English aid to the colony and the imprisonment of Darien sailors by the Spanish authorities—are examined in detail. The ramification of these controversies was increasingly seen as the result not of English interference, but rather the crown's refusal to act on behalf of the Company. Because a significant proportion of the population was invested in the Company, and because the press helped to keep Darien in the forefront of public consciousness, these issues transformed Darien into a major political grievance that united disparate political factions in support of a single cause. Although the alliance inspired by Darien was temporary, it, nonetheless, played a crucial role in disrupting the political status quo.
