Editor 's Note

It is both pleasure and privilege for me to present the Volume -8 of Karatoya, Journal of History, University of North Bengal. Writing history or 'Itihasa' is an extremely difficult work where both subjective and objective perspectives are active simultaneously. Historical research as a constant reaction between the historian and facts has today changed its dimension in interpreting facts. In fact, history no longer restricts itself to build a bridge between the past and the present but has taken a contemporary attitude. The historian seems to be now like a light house on the bridge whose main aim is to train the present by sighting the past to the contemporary society and to guide to a happier and richer future. History today is interdisciplinary sharing knowledge with its sister disciplines like political science, geography, sociology, anthropology and others. Karatoya , the Journal of History , Volume -8 has undertaken this difficult task of preserving the 'Itihasa ' in forms of research articles in the various arena of history. It has adopted an interdisciplinary outlook and maintaining the importance of period and time has arranged the articles in sequence of time.

The volume consists of articles of the aspiring researchers of the department.

    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.
