Dadabhai Naroji's Contributions to Freedom Struggle

Dadabhai's love for nation and his contribution to the nationalist movement may be studied under the following headings:

1.            India's Unofficial Ambassador in England: In 1866 Dadabhai founded the East India Association in London. Its object was to inform the British of the true state of affairs in India. During his long stay in England, he made friendship with eminent Englishmen like Gladstone, Bradlaugh and Bright. He was the first Indian to have won a seat in 1892 in the British House of Commons. As member of British Parliament he rendered admirable service to the cause of India and the people of Indian origin in South Africa. It was due to the efforts of Dadabhai and Bradlaugh that the British House of Commons passed a resolution recommending that the ICS examination be held simultaneously both in England and in India. The Resolution, however, could not become an Act.

2.            One of the Founder-Members of Indian National Congress: Dadabhai was one of the founders of the Indian National Congress. Thrice he presided over the sessions of the Congress in 1886,1893 and 1906. His Presidentship of the Congress in 1906 was memorable in many ways. The partition of Bengal in 1905 had very sadly disillusioned the early nationlists. Their power and prestige were on the decline. They, therefore, persuaded Dadabhai to preside over the Kolkata session of the Congress in 1906. Dadabhai's name and fame made it difficult for the assertive nationalists to oppose his candidature, although they would have liked Tilak to hold that office.

CAUSES OF THE RISE OF ASSERTIVE NATIONALISM IN INDIAN FREEDOM MOVEMENT

The rise of robust nationalism cannot be attributed to any single factor. The major contributing factors to this were as follows:

1.            The Famine and Plague: Drought led to a countrywide famine in 1896-97. It affected crores of people and caused nearly 45 lakh deaths. The government machinery was slow in providing relief— money, food and clothing—to the people. Tilak, through his writings, explained to the peasants their right to relief under the Famine Relief Code. Plague followed in the wake of famine. The soldiers were deputed to take the plague infected people to isolation camps. They behaved like a gang of invaders, insulting women and throwing household goods on the streets. This angered the people. Two sensitive young men, Damodar Chapekar and Balkrishna Chapekar, killed the Plague Commissioner, Mr. Rand. Bal Gangadhar Tilak, who was not at all connected with the murder, was also arrested. He was tried for having written explosive articles in the 'Kesciri' and sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment. It was greatly resented by the people throughout the country.

It laid emphasis on the salvation of the individual by directly observing the Eightfold Path. It used Pali for its scriptures. The Hinayana is confined to India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Siam, Cambodia and Laos.

Today, it has a greater number of followers in the world. It has spread to central Asia, China and many other countries of Asia.
