Politicizzazione del sacro e identità in Aurobindo Ghose (1872-1950)
No full textThe present contribution analyzes the political thought of philosopher and revolutionary Aurobindo Ghose in the wider scenario of Indian nationalism, highlighting the peculiar hermeneutics of hindū philosophical and religious tradition that he expressed through many articles on the main nationalist magazines. Furthermore, Aurobindo’s thought analogies and differences with the main exponents of anti-British interventionism will be contextualized. Some peculiar interpretations of the broad philosophical and religious tradition of India as theorized by Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar are particularly relevant, ideas through which an attempt was made to create a form of religiously legitimated ethno-nationalism stressing on the cultural, ethnic and spiritual primacy of hindū population. Finally, the paper will briefly discuss the influence of Aurobindo Ghose’s legacy on Rāṣṭrīya Svayaṃsēvaka Saṅgha’s political perspectives and on current Indian Prime Minister Narendra Damodardas Modi’s agenda

Economic, Social, and Political Protest in Indian Nationalism: Writings and Speeches of Dadabhai Naoroji, Aurobindo Ghose, and Bipin Chandra Pal
No full textThis history thesis analyzes the economic, political, and social ideas of Dadabhai Naoroji, Aurobindo Ghose, and Bipin Chandra Pal, as shown through their writings and speeches. Dadabhai Naoroji was part of the generation of
nineteenth-century nationalists who petitioned the colonial government with
economic policy critiques, including his own drain of wealth theory. Ghose and
Pal were extremist leaders of the Swadeshi Movement in Bengal who advocated
for boycott of the colonial system and independence from Britain. My paper looks
at the similarities and differences between the ideas of Naoroji, Pal, and Ghose
and analyzes Pal and Ghose s use of Naoroji s arguments and their evaluation of
the early nationalist period. I seek to answer questions over the linear progression
of Indian nationalism and the relationship between economic critiques and social
reform. By further analyzing early Indian nationalists, one can better understand
the course of the nationalist movement as well as the ideas that were central to the
latter part of the movement led most notably by Gandhi.
Through analysis of primary sources as well as historical scholarship, I conclude that the relationship between Naoroji, Pal, and Ghose shows the selective appropriation, modification, and rejection of different ideas by each nationalist generation. I also propose that the Swadeshi Movement holds a central position in the combination of economic and social critiques into a comprehensive political movement during the course of Indian nationalism.HistoryFrenc
