The Great War and the Movement in Contai (1914-1919)
(University of North Bengal, 2015-03) Das, Shankar Kr
The War and the national movement in Contai reflects the changes which gradually took place in the colonial policy of the British rule, and also in the varying attitudes of the people of India towards the British rule. During the Swadeshi movement the · attitude of the Indians towards the alien rule remained the same as before. But during the War the Indians became very much loyal to the government. The Nihar gives a date-wise list of the meetings in which the speakers put before the people the necessity of joining the British Army, and of giving war-loans to Britain and of remaining loyal to the government. It was then expected that the War would soon come to an end and then the Indians would attain Swaraj i.e. liberty and self government, and development in all respects. This time it was found that the Indians started donating to the Imperial Relief Fund through Post Offices, and they felt eager to enlist themselves for being recruited for the Army.

Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose: A comparative study of ideology and its application in the perspective of Freedom Movement
(University of North Bengal, 2016-03) Ghosh, Gour Chandra; Datta, Abhijit
Subhas Bose and Jawaharlal Nehru come down to the national movement almost at the same lime. Both of them espoused the ideology of the left and socialism. Jawaharlal did not stick to the political ideology of the left firmly. He was, in most cases, subdued by Gandhian pressure. Subhas Bose was respectful to Gandhi and his ideology. At times; he dared to challenge the course of Gandhi which was unprecedented. As a result of that Subhas adopted the most adventurous scheme of seeking the assistance of the Axis powers during the Second World War, whereas Jawaharlal remained faithful to Gandhian ideology as a means to the achievement of freedom.

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and the Partition of India
(University of North Bengal, 2016-03) Bhattacharjee, Dhananjoy
One of the greatest scholars of Muslim culture and finest interpreters of the Quran and Islamic theology, a leading Muslim journalist, a distinguished 'servant ' of Indian nationalism, a champion of Hindu-Muslim unity and communal harmony, Maulana Abut Kalam Azad ranks together with Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru as one of the prominent and dignified leaders of Indian freedom movement and shines as a 'secular polestar' in the political canvas of India. Although he was a 'Maulana ', his religion was absolutely free from narrow-mindedness and he was the greatest among the nationalist Muslims who fought for a united India. When Jinnah was fighting for a separate homeland for the Muslims, Azad proposed a completely different plan in order to prevent the partition but finally failed to avert it in 1947. The present paper makes a sincere attempt to highlight the role of Azad in national liberation movement, analyze his mind and approach towards the partition scheme and also tries to evaluate and relate his philosophy and activities in the present context.
