Speeches and Writings of Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya

  • Format:

This book meticulously documents over 25 years of Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya's altruistic endeavors in elevating his homeland. His pivotal roles in Congress, the Imperial Legislative Council, and the establishment of the Hindu University in Benares underscore his exceptional stature. The compilation encompasses his renowned Hindu University Scheme, comprehensive Congress Presidential Addresses, incisive analysis of the Montagu-Chelmsford Proposal, exhaustive Industrial Commission report assessment, and a judicious selection of speeches on diverse subjects. Particularly notable are his Imperial Legislative Council speeches, spanning Press Act, Seditious Meetings Act, Education Bill, labor abolition, and Simultaneous Examinations. Inclusion of his Delhi Congress Address ensures currency, highlighting Pandit Malaviya's deep impact on India's public life, education, and socio-political fabric. Hailing from a scholarly Brahmin lineage, he transitioned through education, editing, and law, with his moderation as "Hindustani" editor earning local acclaim. Co-founding the Hindu Samaj of Allahabad, his legislative engagement from 1902 onwards championed reforms, exemplifying his eloquence and dedication to India's progress.

Madan Mohan Malaviya (1861?1946), an eminent Indian scholar, politician, and educational reformer, was a key figure in the Indian independence movement. He held four presidencies of the Indian National Congress and founded the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha. Recognized as "Pandit" and "Mahamana," he championed modern education, co-founding the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in 1916, one of Asia's largest residential universities. Serving as BHU's Vice Chancellor from 1919 to 1938, Malaviya also excelled in law, journalism, and social service. He defended freedom fighters, opposed untouchability, and advocated for the rights of the oppressed. His efforts led to the creation of the Ganga Mahasabha and the promotion of scouting in India. His legacy endures through BHU and his influence on India's socio-political landscape. In 2014, he posthumously received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honor.
