Though the movement started in Bengal it spread all over India. Starting from Bengal the agitation spread like wild fire in cities, towns and even villages where housewives, students and people of every corner in life participated to protest against the divisive policy of the Raj which was unprecedented in Indian history. A remarkable aspect of the movement was the widespread student participation all over Bengal, and in several other parts of India. The students showed the greatest enthusiasm and created Swadeshi spirit in Bengal and also India. This movement had left a deep impact on literature, music, art, science and education of Bengal as well as India. The patriotism, sacrifice and courage of the students earned great respect from the common people. Keywords: British rule, partition, patriotism, sacrifice, swadeshi Introduction festivals, representation on consultative and legislative One of the most unpopular and terrible measure of the British organisations, education and government employment but Indian Government was the Partition of Bengal in 1905.

The lower class Muslims were looked down measures through which Curzon sought to curb the growing upon by the elite Muslims and social contact was avoided as nationalistic and patriotic spirit. One of the main objects of the much as possible. In retrospect, the elite Muslims had more in partition of Bengal was to break up the unity of the people of common with the moneyed Hindu upper class than with Bengal. Lord Curzon divided the territories of Bengal in such Muslim lower class. a way that the western part of Bengal including Bihar, Chhota In spite of the day-to-day contacts, there was almost no way of Nagpur and Orissa formed the Hindu majority and the eastern integration between Hindus and Muslims. Therefore, part of Bengal including North Bengal and Assam formed the ignorance and indifference prevailed. No conscious effort was Muslim majority area.

Natore town stands on the Narad river at the degree of latitude 24-6" north and 89-1 "east'. Natore was an important administrative central point during the reign of the Nawabs of Bengal. At the time of the British regime Natore was an important town of Rajshahi district. Natore had great importance as a business center. A great number of Europeans lived at Natore. In 1825 the district head quarter was shifted from Natore to Rampur-Boalia(Rajshahi) because the river Narod was silted up and dieses like malaria and dengu prevailed terribly^ .

    LONDON STUDIES ON SOUTH ASIA NO. 13 ANCIENT RIGHTS AND FUTURE COMFORT Bihar, the Bengal Tenancy Act of 1885, and British Rule in India P.G. Robb School of Oriental and African Studies, London This book was published in 1997 by Curzon Press, now Routledge, and is reproduced in this repository by permission. The deposited copy is from the author’s final files, and pagination differs slightly from the publisher’s printed version. Therefore the index is not included. © Peter Robb 1997 All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reprinted or reproduced or utilised in any form without written permission from the publishers. ISBN 0-7007-0625-9 Chapter Five Custom and the law We may conclude from chapter four, unsurprisingly, that the 1885 Act originated in colonial perceptions. Noteworthy in the debate was the paucity of direct justification for the favourable prognosis—the future comfort—which was promised as a result of the reforms. Instead, alongside the cases made for historical legitimacy and present poverty and oppression, an adverse trajectory was presented: the fate of tenants since the permanent settlement. This appeared as a professedly factual account, but contained an implied counterfactual (what would have happened if tenant rights had been preserved by law), which reduced the need to verify either the past ruin and its causes, or the future pro- mise and its means. At issue, instead, was the subject of this chapter, the role of law and custom—as explanations or as remedies for present conditions, and in relation to a goal of improvement.

  • Saga of Bengal Partition
    SAGA OF BENGAL PARTITION *Dr. Mohammad Abu Tayyub Khan Abstract Bengal in ancient literatures is mentioned as a distinct region of South Asia, and throughout the first millennium A.D. it was governed by a succession of Buddhist and Hindu rulers. Muslim armies arrived in the region in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, and gradual their conquest culminated in Mogul rule after 1576. During the 1500’s, British, Dutch, French, and Portuguese traders competed for control of profitable trade between the East Indies and Europe. By the 1600’s, European trade settlements had cropped up in Bengal. The English government in 1600 to develop trade with India and the Far East chartered the East India Company (a mercantile company of England). By the mid-1700’s, the company had become the strongest trade power in Bengal. Later, England took- over Bengal Administration in 1757. At first, the Europeans met strong resistance from Nawabs who were in command of the territories. They demanded taxes in return for trade privileges. But after the Mogul Empire weakened towards 1700’s, the Europeans increased their influence. Ambitious Mogul Nawabs, nobles, and generals competed for power. The Europeans took sides in many of these conflicts, offering their support in return for monopoly trade privileges and other rewards. East India succeeded in buying the Diwani (financial instrument) of huge Bengal state that comprised Bihar, Orissa and Assam from Emperor Shah Alam for Rs.26 lacks, sealing off the Muslim hold on the state for ever. Nawab Sirajudowla, (1756-1757), was the last independent Nawab of Bengal.

  • A Village in the Bishnupur Subdivision, Situated 7 Miles North-West of Bishnupur
    CHAPTER XIV GAZETTEER Ajodhya— A village in the Bishnupur subdivision, situated 7 miles north-west of Bishnupur. The village contains a charitable dispensary and the residence of one of the leading zamindars of the district. Ambikanagar— A village in the Bankura subdivision, situated on the south bank of the Kasai river, 10 miles south-west of Khatra, with which it is connected by an unmetalled road. This village has given its name to a pargana extending over 151 square miles, and was formerly the headquarters of an ancient family of zamindars, whose history has been given in the article on Dhalbhum. Bahulara— A village in the Bankura subdivision, situated on the south bank of the Dhalkisor river, 12 miles south-east of Bankura and 3 miles north of Onda. It contains a temple dedicated to Mahadeo Siddheswar, said to have been built by the Raja of Bishnupur, which Mr. Beglar has described as the finest brick temple in the district, and the finest though not the largest brick temple that he had seen in Bengal. He gives the following account of it in the Reports of the Archaeological Survey of India, Vol. VIII. "The temple is of brick, plastered; the ornamentation is carefully cut in the brick, and the plaster made to correspond to it. There are, however, ornaments on the plaster alone, but none inconsistent with the brick ornamentation below. I conclude, therefore, that the plaster formed a part of the original design. The mouldings of the basement are to a great extent gone, but from fragments here and there that exist, a close approximation can be made to what it was; some portions are, however, not recoverable.
