The Harshacharita is a biography of Harshavardhana, the ruler of Kanauj,
composed in Sanskrit by his court poet, Banabhatta (c.seventh century CE). This is an
excerpt from the text, an extremely rare representation of life in a settlement on the outskirts
of a forest in the Vindhyas.
The outskirts being for the most part forest, many parcels of rice-land, threshing ground and
arable land were being apportioned by small farmers.....it was mainly spade culture.....owing
to the difficulty of ploughing the sparsely scattered fields covered with grass, with their few
clear spaces, their black soil stiff as black iron....
There were people moving along with bundles of bark...countless sacks of plucked
flowers,...loads of flax and hemp bundles, quantities of honey, peacocks' tail feathers,
wreaths of wax, logs, and grass. Village wives hastened enroute for neighbouring villages,
all intent on thoughts of sale and bearing on their heads baskets filled with various gathered
forest fruits.

Rules for monks and nuns
These are some of the rules laid down in the Vinaya Pitaka :
When a new felt (blanket/rug) has been made by a bhikkhu, it is to be kept for (at least) six
years. If after less than six years he should have another new felt (blanket/rug) made,
regardless of whether or not he has disposed of the first, then - unless he has been
authorised by the bhikkhus - it is to forfeited and confessed.
In case a bhikkhu arriving at a family residence is presented with cakes or cooked grainmeal, he may accept two or three bowlfuls if he so desires. If he should accept more than
that, it is to be confessed.
Having accepted the two or three bowlfuls and having taken them from there, he is to share
them among the bhikkhus. This is the proper course here.
Should any bhikkhu, having set out bedding in a lodging belonging to the sangha - or having
had it set out - and then on departing neither put it away nor have it put away, or should he
go without taking leave, it is to be confessed.

seed pearls, and cloths, and every other sort of thing there is on earth and that you may

wish to buy. Then you have there every evening a fair where they sell many common horses
and nags, and also many citrons, and limes, and oranges, and grapes, and every other kind
of garden stuff, and wood; you have all in this street.
More generally, he described the city as being "the best provided city in the world" with the
markets "stocked with provisions such as rice,wheat, grains, India corn and a certain
amount of barley and beans, moong, pulses and horse-gram" all of which were cheaply and
abundantly available. According to Fernao Nuniz, the Vijayanagara markets were
"overflowing with abundance of fruits, grapes and oranges, limes, pomegranates, jackfruits,
and mangoes and all very cheap". Meat too was sold in abundance in the marketplaces.

Declining a royal gift
This excerpt from a sufi text describes the proceedings at Shaikh Nizamuddin Auliya's
hospice in 1313
I (the author, Amir Hasan Sijzi) had the good fortune of kissing his ( Shaikh
Nizamuddin Auliya's) feet....At this time a local ruler had sent him the deed of ownership to
two gardens and much land, along with the provisions and tools for their maintenance. The
ruler had also made it clear that he was relinquishing all his rights to both the gardens and
land. The master...had not accepted that gift. Instead, he had lamented: What have I to do
with gardens and fields and lands ? None of...our spiritual masters had engaged in such
activity".
Then he told an appropriate story: ... Sultan Ghiyasuddin, who at the time was
Ulugh Khan, came to visit Shaikh Fariduddin (and) offered some money and ownership
deeds for four villages to the Shaikh, the money being for the benefits of the dervishes
(sufis),and land for his use. Smiling, Shaikh al Islam (Fariduddin) said: 'Give me the money.
I will dispense it to the dervishes. But as for those land deeds, keep them. There are many
who long for them. Give them away to such persons."
(i) Explain the contents of the deed sent by the king to thr Rev. Shaikh Nizamuddin auliya.
(ii) Why did the Shaikh Sahib decline to have the gift ?
(iii) What did the shaikh advise to do with the gifts ?
21. What should the qualities of a national language be ?
A few months before his death Mahatma Gandhi reiterated his views on the language
question :
This Hindustani should be neither Ssanskritised Hindi nor Persianised Urdu, but
a happy combination of both. It should also freely admit words wherever necessary from the
diffrent regional languages and also assimilate words from foreign languages, provided that
they can mix well and easily with our national language. Thus our national language must
develop into a rich and powerful instrument capable of expressing the whole gamut of
human thought and feelings. To confine oneself to Hindi or Urdu would be a crime against
intelligence and the spirit of patriotism.
HARIJANSEVAK,12 October 1947

electorates for the Depressed Classes :
Separate electorates to the "Untouchables" will ensure them bondage in perpetuity...Do
you want the "Untouchables" to remain "Untouchables" for ever ? Well, the separate
electorates would perpetuate the stigma. What is needed is destruction of "Untouchability",
and when you have done it, the bar-sinister, which has been imposed by an insolent
"superior" class upon an "inferior" class will be destroyed. When you have destroyed the
bar-sinister to whom will you give the separate electorates ?

from either one side or the other collects there ; and, beside this, water comes to it from
more than three leagues (approximately 15 kilometres) by pipes which run along the lower
parts of the range outside. This water is brought from a lake which itself overflows into a
little river. The tank has three large pillars handsomely carved with figures ; these connect
above with certain pipes by which they get water when they have to irrigate their gardens
and rice-fields. In oeder to make this tank the said king broke down a hill...In the tank I saw
so many people at work that there must have been fifteen or twenty thousand men, looking
like ants...

grain, and kut, estimates...If any doubts arise, the crops should be cut and estimated in
three lots, the good, the middling, and the inferior, and the hesitstion removed. Often, too,
the land taken by appraisement, gives a sufficiently accurate return. Secondly,batai, also
called bhaoli, the crops are reaped and stacked and divided by agreement in the presence
of the parties. But in this case several intelligent inspectors are required; otherwise, the evilminded and false are given to deception. Thirdly, khet-batai, when they divide the fields after
they are sown. Fourthly, lang batai, after cutting the grain, they form it in heaps and divide it
among themselves, and each takes his share home and turns it to profit.

20. "The real minorities are the masses of this country"
Welcoming the Objectives Resolution introduced by Jawaharlal Nehru, N.G. Ranga said :
Sir, there is a lot of talk about minorities. Who are the real minorities ? Not the Hindus
in the so called Pakistan provinces, not the Sikhs, not even the Muslims. No, the real
minorities are the masses of this country. These people are so depressed and oppressed
and suppressed till now that they are not able to take advantage of the ordinary civil rights.
What is the position ? You go to the tribal areas. According to law, their own traditional
law,their tribal law, their lands cannot be alienated. Yet our merchants go there, and in the
so called free market they are able to snatch their lands. Thus, even though the law goes
against this snatching away of their lands, still the merchants are able to turn the tribal
people into veritable slaves by various kinds of bonds, the ordinary villagers. There goes the
money lender with his money and he is able to get the villagers in his pockets. There is the
landlord himself, the zaminder, and the malguzar and there are the various other people
who are able to exploit these poor villagers. There is no elementary education even among
these people. These are the real minorities that need protection and assurances of

protection. In order to give them the necessary protection, we will need much more than this
Resolution...

Ranga ?

(ii) Do you agree with Ranga ? If not, mention who are the real minorities according to you
and why ? 2

"I believe separate electorates will be suicidal to the minorities"
During the debate on 27 August 1947, Govind Ballabh Pant said :
I believe separate electorates will be suicidal to the minorities and will do them tremendous
harm. If they are isolated for ever, they can never convert themselves into a majority and
feeling of frustration will cripple them even from the very begining. What is it that you desire
and what is our ultimate objective ? Do the minorities always want to remain as minorities or
do they ever expect to form an integral part of a great nation and as such to guide and
control its destinies ? If they do, can they ever achieve that aspiration and that ideal if they
are isolated from the rest of the community ? I think it would be extremely dangerous for
them if they were sehregated from the rest of the community and kept aloof in an air-tight
compartment where they would have to rely on others even for the air they breathe...The
minorities if they are returned by separate electorates can never have any effective voice.
(i) How will separate electorates prove suicidal to the minorities ? Explain the views of
G.B.Pant.
4
(ii) Will the creation of separate electorates solve the problem of minorities ? If so,
how ?
3
(iii) Suggest any one way to solve the problem of
minorities.

21. The wealthy Shudra
This story, based on a Buddhist text in Pali known as the Majjhima Nikaya, is a part of a
dialogue between a king named Avantiputta and a disciple of the Buddha named
Kachchana. While it may not be literally true, it reveals Buddhist attitudes towards varna.
Avantiputta asked Kachchana what he thought about Brahmanas who held that they
were the best caste and that all other castes were low; that Brahmanas were a fair caste
while all other castes were dark; that only Brahmanas were pure, not non-Brahmanas; that
Brahmanas were sons of Brahma, born of his mouth, born of Brahma, formed by Brahma,
heirs to Brahma.
Kachchana replied : "What if a shudra were wealthy...would another shudra...or a Kshatriya
or a Brahmana or a Vaishya...speak politely to him ?"
Avantiputta replied that if a shudra had wealth or corn or gold or silver, he could have as his
obedient srevant another shudra to get up earlier than he, to go to rest later, to carry out his
orders, to speak politely; or he could have even have a Kshatriya or a Brhmana or a
Vaishya as his obedient servant.
Kachchana asked : "This being so, are not these four varnas exactly the same ?"
Avantiputta conceded that there was no difference amongst the varnas on this account.

A mother's advice
The Mahabharata describes how, when war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas
became almost inevitable, Gandhari made one last appeal to her eldest son Duryadhana :
By making peace you honour your father and me, as well as yuor well-wishers...it is
the wise man in control of his senses who guards his kingdom. Greed and anger drag a
man away from his profits; by defeating these two enimies a king conquers the earth... You
will happily enjoy the truth, my son, along with the and heroic Pandavas...There is no good
in a war, no law (dharma) and profit (artha), let alone hapiness; noe is there (necessarily)
victory in the end - don't set your mind on war...

Read the following extracts (questions no. 19 to 21) carefully and answer the questions that
follow.
19. The child sati
This is perhaps one of the most poignant descriptions by Bernier :
At Lahore I saw a most beautiful young widow sacrificed, who could not, I think, have
been more thantwelve years of age. The poor little creatre appeared more dead than alive
when she approached the dreadful pit; the agony of her mind cannot be described; she
trembled and wept bitterly; but three or four of the Brahmanas, assisted by by an old woman
who held under the arm, forced the unwilling victim toward the fatal spot, seated her on the
wood, tied her hands and feet, lest she should run away, and in that situation the innocent
creature was burnt alive. I found it difficult to repress my feelings and to prevent their
bursting forth into clamorous and unavailing rage...

Nuts like a man's head
The following is how Ibn Battuta described the coconut :
These trees are among the most peculiar trees in kind and most astonishing in habit. They
look exactly like date-palms, without any difference between them except that the one
produces nuts as its fruits and the other produces dates. The nut of a coconut tree
resembles a man's head, for in it are what look like two eyes and a mouth, and the inside of
it when it is green looks like the brain, and attached to it is a fibre which looks like hair. They
make from this cords with which they sew up ships instead of (using) iron nails, and they
(also) make it cables for vessels.

20. "A voice in the wilderness"
Mahatma Gandhi knew that his was "a voice in the wilderness" but he nevertheless
continued
to
oppose the idea of Partition :
But what a tragic change we see today. I wish the day may come again when Hindus
and Muslims will do nothing without mutual consultation. I am day and night tormented by
the question what I can do to hasten the coming of that day. I appeal to the League not to
regard any Indian as its enemy ... Hindus and Muslims are born of the same soil. They have
the same blood, eat the same food, drink the same water and speak the same language.
SPEECH
AT
PRAYER
MEETING, 7 SEPTEMBER 1946,

CWMG, VOL.92, P. 136

But I am firmly convinced that the Pakistan demand as put forward by the Muslim League is unIslamic and I have not hesitated to call it sinful. Islam stands for the unity and brotherhood
of mankind, not for disrupting the oneness of the human family. Therefore, those who want
to divide India into possible warring groups are enemies alike of Islam and India. They may
cut me to pieces but they cannot me subscribe to something which I consider to be wrong.

Gandhiji
wish

again.

What "recovering" women meant
Here is the experience of a couple, recounted by Prakash Tandon in his Punjabi Century an
autobiographical social history of colonial Punjab :
In one instance, a Sikh youth who had run amuck during the partition persuaded a massacring
crowd to let him take away a young, beautiful Muslim girl. They got married, and slowly fell
in love with each other. Gradually the memories of her parents, who had been killed, and
her former life faded. They were happy together, and a little boy was born. Soon, however,
social workers and the police, labouring assiduously to recover abducted women, began to
track down the couple. They made inquiries in the Sikh's home-district of Jalandhar; he got
scent of it and the family ran away to Calcutta. Meanwhile, the couple's friends tried to
obtain a stay-order from the court but the law was taking its ponderous course. From
Calcutta the couple escaped to some obscure Punjab village, hoping that the police would
fail to shadow them. His wife was expecting again and now nearing her time. The Sikh sent
the little boy to his mother and took his wife to a sugar-cane field. He made her as
comfortable as he could in a pit while he lay with a gun, waiting for the police, determining
not to lose her while he was alive. In the pit he delivered her with his own hands. The next
day she ran high fever, and in three days she was dead. He had not dared to take her to the
hospital. He was so afraid the social workers and the police would take her away.

girl ?

21. Life in a small village
The Harshacharita is a biography of Harshavardhana, the ruler of Kannauj, composed in
Sanskrit by his court poet, Banabhatta (c. seventh century CE). This is an excerpt form the
text, an extremely rare representation of life in a settlement on the outskirts of a forest in the
Vindhyas:
The outskirts being the most part forest, many parcels of rice-land, threshing ground and arable
land were being apportioned by small farmers ... it was mainly spade culture ... owing to the

difficulty of ploughing the sparsely scattered fields covered with grass, with their few clear
spaces, their black soil stiff as black iron ...
There were people moving along with bundles of bark ... countless sacks of plucked
flowers, ... loads of flax and hemp bundles, quantities of honey, peacock's tail feathers,
wreaths of wax, logs, and grass. Village wives hastened en route for neighbouring villages,
all intent on thoughts of sale and bearing on their heads baskets filled with various gathered
forest fruits.

devoted) to an itense study of Dhamma, to the love of Dhamma, and to instructing (the
people) in Dhamma. This is the repentance of Devanampiya on account of his conquest of
the (country of the) Kalingas.

19. How tanks were built
The king made a tank ... at the mouth of the two hills so that all the water which comes from either
one side or the other collects there; and, besides this, water comes to it from more than
three leagues (approximately 15 ilometres) by pipes which run along the lower parts of the
range outside. This water is brought from a lake which itself overflows into a little river. The
tank has three large pillars handsomely carved with figures; these connect above with
certain pipes by which they get water when they have to irrigate their gardens and ricefields. In order to make this tank the said king broke down a hill ... In the tank I saw so many
people at work that there must have been fifteen or twenty thousand men, looking like
ants ...

Cash or kind ?
The Ain on land revenue collection :
Let him (the amil- guzar) not make it a practise of taking only in cash but also in kind. The
latter i effected in several ways. First, kankut : in the Hindi language kan signifies grain, and
kut, estimates .... If any dobts arise, the crops should be cut and estimated in three lots, the
good, the middling, and the inferior, and the hesitation removed. Often, too, the land taken
by appraisement, gives a sufficiently accurate return. Secondly, batai, also called bhaoli, the
crops are reaped and stacked and divided by agreement in the presence of the parties. But
in this case
several intelligent inspectors are required; otherwise, the evil-minded and false are given to
deception. Thirdly, khet-batai, when they divide the fields after they are sown. Fourthly, lang

takes his share home and turns it to profit.

20. " The real minorities are the masses of this country"
Welcoming the Objectives Resolution introduced by Jawaharlal Nehru, N.G. Ranga said :
Sir, there is a lot of talk about minorities. Who are the real minorities? Not the Hindus in
the so-called Pakistan provinces, not the Sikhs, not even the Muslims. No, the real
minorities are the masses of this country. These people are so depressed and oppressed
and suppressed till now that they are not able to take advantage of the ordinary civil rights.
What is the position? You go to the tribal areas. According to law, their own traditional law,
their tribal law, their lands cannot be alienated. Yet our merchants go there, and in the socalled free market they are able to snatch their lands. Thus, even though the law goes
against this snatching away of their lands, still the merchants are able to turn the tribal
people into veritable slaves by various kinds of bonds, and make them hereditary bondslaves. Let us go to the ordinary villagers. There goes the money-lender with his money and
he is able to get the villagers in his pocket. There is the landlord himself, the zamindar, and
the malguzar and there are the various other people who are able to exploit these poor
villagers. There are the real minorities that need protection and assurances of protection. In
order to give them the necessary protection, we will need much more than this Resolution ...

" I believe separate electorates will be suicidal to the minorities"

During the debates on 27th August 1947, Ballabh Pant said :
I believe separate electorates will be suicidal to the minorities and will do them tremendous harm. If
they are isolated for ever, they can never convert themselves into a majority and the feeling of
frustration will cripple them even from the very begining. What is it that you desire and what is our
ultimate objective ? Do the minorities always want to remain as minorities or do they ever
expect to form an integral part of a great nation and as such to guide and control its
destinies ? If they do, can they ever achieve that aspiration and that ideal if they are isolated
from the rest of the community ? I think it would be extremely dangerous for them if they
were segregated from the rest of the community and kept aloof in an air-tight compartment
where they would have to rely on others even for the air they breathe...The minorities if they
are returned by separate electorates can never have any effective voice.
(i) How will separate electorates prove suicidal to the minorities ? Explain the views of G.B.
Pant.

21. The wealthy Shudra
This story, based on a buddhist text in Pali known as the Majjhima Nikaya, is part of a dialogue
between a king named Avantiputta and a disciple of the Buddha named Kachchana. While it
may not be literally true, it reveals Buddhist attitudes towards varna.
Avantiputta asked Kachchana what he thought about Brahmanas who held that were the
best caste and that all other castes were low; that Brahmanas were a fair caste while all
other castes were dark; that only Brahmanas were pure, not non-Brahmanas; that
Brahmanas were sons of Brahma, born of his mouth, born of Brahma, formed by Brahma,
heirs to Brahma.
Kachchana replied : "What if a Shudra were wealthy... would another Shudra...or a
Kshatrita or a Brahmana or a Vaishya...speak politely to him ?"
Avantiputta replied that if a Shudra had wealth or corn or gold or silver, he could have as
his obedient servant another Shudra to get up earlier than he, to go to rest later, to carry out
his orders, to speak politely; or he could even have a Kshatriya or a Brahmana or a Vaishya
as his obedient servant.
Kachchana asked: "This being so, are not these four varnas exactly the same ?"
Avantiputta conceded that there was no difference amongst the varnas on this count.

A mother's advice
The Mahabharata describes how, when war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas became
almost inevitable, Gandhari made one last appeal to her eldest son Duryodhana:
By making peace you honour your father and me, as well as your well-wishers ... it is the wise man
in control of his senses who guards his kingdom. Greed and anger drag a man away from
his profits; by defeating these two enemies a king conquers the earth ... You will hppily

enjoy the earth, my son along with the wise and heroic Pandavas ... There is no good in a
war, no law (dharma) and profit (artha), let alone happiness; nor is there (necessarily)
victory in the end- don't set your mind on war...
Duryodhana did not listen to this advise and fought and lost the war.

The Sudarshana (beautiful) Lake in Gujarat
The Sudarshana lake was an artificial reservoir. We know about it from a rock inscription
(c. second century CE) in Sanskrit, composed to record the achievements of the Shaka
ruler Rudradaman.
The inscription mentions that the lake, with embankments and water channels, was built by
a local governer during the rule of the Mauryas. However, a terrible storm broke the
embankments and water gushed out of the lake. Rudradaman, who was then ruling in the
area, claimed to hhave got the lake repaired using his own resources, without imposing any
tax on his subjects.
Another inscriptions on the same rock (c. fifth century) mentions how one of the Gupta
dynasty got the lake repaired once again.

he could stake her.
Two, that an unfree man (as Yudhisthira was when he had lost himself) could not stake
another person.
The matter remained unresolved: ultimately, Dhritarashtra restored to the Pandavas and
Draupadi their personal freedom.

The child sati
This is perhaps one of the most poignant descriptions by Bernier:
At Lahore I saw a most beautiful young widow sacrifised, who could not, I think, have
been more than twelve years of age. The poor little creature appeared more dead than alive
when she approached the dreadful pit: the agony of her mind cannot be described; she
trembled and wept bitterly; but three or four of the Brahmanas, assisted by an old woman
who held her under the arm, forced the unwilling victim toward the fatal spot lest she should
run away, and in that situation the innocent creature was burnt alive. I found it difficult to
repress my feelings and to prevent their bursting forth into clamorous and unavailing rage ...

better understand India's past and make governance of the colony easier. He says that "it
struggled long under the miseries of bad management ... before the south came under the
benign influence of the British government." By studying Vijayanagara, Mackenzie believed
that the East India Company could gain "much useful information on many of these
institutions, laws and customs whose influence still prevails among the various Tribes of
Natives forming the general mass of the population to this day."

The jotedars of Dinajpur

Buchnan described the ways in which the jotedars of Dinajpur in North Bengal resisted being
disciplined by the zamindar and undermined his power:
Landlords do not like this class of men , but it is evident that they are absolutely
necessary, unless the landlords themselves would advance money to their necessitous
tenantry ...
The jotedars who cultivated large portions of lands are very refractory, and know that the
zamindars have no power over them. They pay only a few rupees on account of their
revenue and then fall in balance almost every kist (instalment), they hold more lands then
they are entitled to by their pottahs (deeds of contract). Should the zamindar's officers, in
consequence summon them to the cutcherry, and detained them for one or two hours with a
view to reprimand them, they immediately go and complain at the munsiff's (a judicial officer
at the lower court) cutcherry for being dishonoured and whilst the causes continue
unsettled, they instigate the petty ryots not to pay their revenue consequently ...
(16.1) Mention the various ways in which the jotedars of Dinajpur resisted the authority of
zamindars.

"The British element is gone, but they have left the mischief behind"
Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel said:
It is no use saying that we ask for separate electorates, because it is good for us . We have it long
enough. We have heard it for years, and as a result of this agitation we are now a separate
nation ... Can you show me one free country where there are separate electorates? If so, i
shall be prepared to accept it. But in this unfortunate country if this electorate is going to be
persisted in, even after the division of the country, woe betide the country; it is not worth
living in. Therefore, I say, it is not for my good alone, it is for your on good that I say it, forget
the past. One day, we may be united... The British element is gone, but they have left the
mischief behind. We do not want to perpetuate that mischief behind. We do not want to
perpetuate that mischief. (Hear, hear). When the British introduced this element they had
not expected that they will have to go soon. They wanted it for their easy administration.
That is all right. But yhey have left the legacy behind. Are we to get out of it or not?
