    From Effeminacy to Revolutionary: A Historical Analysis of the Rise of the Revolutionary Movement in Colonial Bengal
    (University of North Bengal, 2022-03) Ghosh, Subir
    In India, the origins of the revolutionary movement had a long-term historical process. In the early decade of the twentieth century, the revolutionary movement was mainly confined to Bengal, Maharashtra, and Punjab. This article focuses on the origins of the revolutionary movement in colonial Bengal. In Bengal, the revolutionary movement had a historical root. It was the result of the physical culture movement in Bengal. This paper is trying to argue that the concept of the revolutionary movement was not exported from Maharashtra. However, historians like Peter Heehs, Partha Chatterjee, and Bimanbehari Majumdar have argued that the idea of the Bengali revolutionary movement came from Maharashtra. This article discusses that the Bengali revolutionary movement started against the charge of effeminacy and cowardice of Bengali people. Some Bengali intellectuals, like Rajnarayan Bose, Nabagopal Mitra, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, later Sarala Ghosal, Pramatha Nath Mitra, Aurobindo Ghosh, Sister Nivedita, and Jatindranath Banerjee, played a crucial role in forming a revolutionary organisation in Bengal.

    ‘Jallikattu’ as New Social Movement: Human Rights Vs Animal Rights
    (University of North Bengal, 2016) Debnath, Jayanta
    Once again it is proved that no community of the universe will allow anybody to take away their natural rights from them. In this case, a suitable example would be the event of ‘Jallikattu’ which is observed in South India especially in Tamil Nadu. It has been such a movement which raised variety of questions within Indian society. Jallikattu is an identity- based movement. It is infact a new social movement with old tradition and practice of Tamil people. This identity-based movement brought two different aspects of emotion and values all together that is the clash between human rights and animal rights. Both these groups wanted to be victorious, but such path of victory is not so easy. As a result both the parties choose judiciary to save their rights or ideology. In this circumstance, the role of the state both national and regional comes to the forefront. Thus, to settle this crucial issue the role of politics or political intervention has been momentous.
