Perceptions of Justice Among Injured Protesters of the July Revolution 2024 in Bangladesh
The July revolution of 2024 in Bangladesh marked a significant moment in the country's recent political history, during which widespread protests and state repression left many participants injured. This study examines how injured protesters narrated justice and accountability after direct exposure to protest‐related violence. Drawing on semi‐structured interviews with 32 injured protesters selected through purposive sampling, the study explores …
Cognitive and cultural attitudes to sex educational content on social media in Bangladesh
This study investigated the attitudes of Bangladeshi social media users towards sex education by analysing user responses to posts on the Deutsche Welle (DW) Bangla Facebook page. Drawing from eight posts covering topics such as hymen surgery, menstruation and surrogacy, a total of 1,404 text-based comments were analysed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis. We identified seven principal themes: faith-driven resistance, moral panic, cultural resista…
The South Asian Spring
Between 2022 and 2025, South Asia experienced a series of rapid-onset protest movements that successfully toppled established governments within compressed timeframes. This article examines the protest waves in Sri Lanka (2022), Bangladesh (2024), and Nepal (2025) through the lens of Rauf Arif’s Flash Social Movement theory while critically extending this framework through comparative institutional analysis. These movements demonstrate both the c…
Symbolic Annihilation
This study examines the exclusion of Vanessa Nakate, a Ugandan climate activist, from a group photo published by the Associated Press (AP) during the 2020 World Economic Forum. Using the muted group theory, it explores the implications of Nakate's omission as the sole Black individual in the image, shedding light on the broader issue of symbolic annihilation faced by Black women activists in Western media. Through visual and textual analysis, the…
Dissociation and Appropriation
Legacy of a Divided Nation
This book is regarded as a personal manifesto, a statement through the history of partition and its aftermath, of the values which India's Muslims should cherish and of the national priorities they should promote. It provides the reference-point for understanding India's Partition and its legacy.
Legacy of a Divided Nation
The Myth of Muslim Unity
When Stone Walls Cry
Millions in India have long been obsessed with the vicissitudes of the Nehru–Gandhi family’s fate. Inextricably linked to the ups and downs of their lives was the future of the nation itself. It was Jawaharlal Nehru’s leadership that guided India onto the world stage as a modern nation. Despite the varied scholarship of Nehruvian studies, one important aspect—the experiences of the Nehrus in prison during the national movement—has received only s…
When the Stone Walls Cry
Focusing on a neglected aspect in Nehruvian studies, this work discusses the experiences of the Nehru family in prison during the national movement. The author charts out the significance of the prison experience in understanding the thoughts and ideas of one of the most prominent families which provided leadership during the Indian freedom struggle.
Dynasty, Biography, and History
This chapter describes the historical and political milieu of Allahabad when the Nehru’s resided there. It looks at the founding of the Indian National Congress as well as the rise of the Kashmiri Pandits in Allahabad, which the Nehrus were a part of. Unlike some of the elite Muslim families that faded away, the Kashmiri Pandits had found their way into almost all vocations in life, and set great store by education and learning. The Nehrus were n…
‘The Vessel Will Sink When the Load of Sin Is Great’
This chapter examines how Mahatma Gandhi deployed the symbolism of political prisoner in his crusade and also how he referred to jail as a metaphor depicting India’s enslavement under British rule. It begins by comparing Gandhi and Nelson Mandela in terms of their struggle for freedom based on the principles of passive resistance and non-violence, and discusses how both opted to use persuasion rather than brute force in their defiance of unjust l…
Conclusion
This concluding chapter summarizes the book’s main arguments concerning India’s political prisoners and what they had to go through under the British colonial system, which it says refused to recognize the bravest and most daring freedom fighters because it suffered from what the historian C. A. Bayly calls ‘Information Panic’. It cites the freedom fighters’ willingness to go to jail in order to make India a better place for the toiling masses. I…
Roads to Freedom
In its most brutal form, the prison in British India was an instrument of the colonial state for instilling fear and dealing with resistance. Exploring the lived experience of select political prisoners, this volume presents their struggles and situates them against the backdrop of the freedom movement. From Mohamed Ali, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the Nehru family, and Gandhi, to communists like M.N. Roy—we get a vivid glimpse of their lives within…

Food, Flowers, Travel, and Animals
The author comments on the food of the English, the flowers and animals he observed in England, as well as inns, mode of travel, and agriculture. He found thousands of roses, which were all very large, in England. The country is so well cultivated, that there is not a biswah, or even a yard of ground, on which crops are not raised. There is a large and extensive house of accommodation at every stage, where corn and hay (for the horses) and meat a…

Inside India
Adjustment and Accommodation
India's independence in August 1947 was the culmination of a sustained historical process. This cannot be said about the creation of Pakistan, founded on the principle of the 'two-nation theory'. True, one can uncover the roots of and unfold the events leading to its birth. But such an exercise cannot lend historical legitimacy to the cause or the movement connected with it. Nor can one view Jinnah's ability to rally round Muslims as a vindicatio…

I. Pan-Islamism Versus Indian Nationalism
It is widely known, though scarcely recognized, that large sections of the Indian Muslim intelligentsia have been greatly conscious of their fraternal links with their co-religionists in other countries, following their history with interest, deriving comfort in their accomplishments, and lamenting their slow but steady decline. In the nineteenth century, in particular, when Islam seemed to fall on evil days because of the convergence of European…

This chapter discusses the synthesis being worked out between the high Islamic custom-centred traditions which exist as complementary and integral parts of a common religious system and bestow upon Indian Islam a distinctive character. It has a twofold objective. First, it traces the multiple influences on Muslims in places where they have adopted many social and cultural practices of pre-Islamic origin, and indicates the intersecting identities,…
