Title

ROLE OF GEORGE JOSEPH IN THE FREEDOM STRUGGLE

Abstract

George Joseph (1887-1938) played an important role in shaping the policies of Congress during the first quarter of the 20th century. Even though he had played a major role in the course of the National movement in India, Joseph is unknown to the present generation. The rational thinking led to religious and social reforms and it awakened dormant nationalism and patriotism among the people of India. There were remarkable changes in religious, social and political ideas. George Joseph’s first meeting with Gandhi took place on 22nd March 1919 in Madras. Gandhi was delivering a speech regarding the conducting of the hartal. On that day a group of people was called for a meeting with Gandhiji. George Joseph was one among them. Others were C.Rajagopalachari, Sarojini Naidu and T.Satyamurti. George Joseph drew much inspiration from Gandhi during his meeting with him. This meeting brought out crucial changes in the life of Barrister George Joseph. Joseph’s enthusiasm and spirit for national freedom created a strong impression among some of the national leaders like Motilal Nehru. He pointed out the importance of boycotting government schools and colleges. Thus, the ultimate aim of all programmes and policies was the achievement of freedom. In his opinion, freedom was the highest political goal. Only freedom can enable the people to have equality before the law. He again opinioned that freedom was a precious thing and it was the duty of the citizens to keep it safe. He never hesitated to express his views against the action of the government. Ineffective political programmes also influenced his decision to leave the national organization. Towards the close of 1934, he returned to the Congress and within three years he became a member of the Indian Legislative Assembly. Despite his ill health, he proved himself to be a good debater and a great parliamentarian who fought restlessly for the people whom he represented. While he was just over 50, George Joseph passed away on the 5th of March 1938.
