Maoists of Nepal: Their use of Nationalism
(University of North Bengal, 2013-10) Giri, Mukunds
Nationalism is not an ideology, yet Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) used it to mobilise the masses. In using it they joined it with the programme of Mao’s New Democratic Strategy, raising the stature of Nepalese nationalism near ideology if not to full-fledged ideology. This perhaps explained their success in leading the decade-long movement which started in 1996. Suchtactics; however, lights up another area of research. If nationalism can be so changed, can ethnic movements similarly claim in their mobilising ability the presence of some form of programmes?

(University of North Bengal, 2015-03) Sarkar, Ashim Kumar
Focusing' on Maldah, a northern district of Bengal, an attempt has been made in this work to demonstrate that the complexity of the nationalist movement can be gauged through an indepth study of the localities. The study attempts to throw significant light on the different facets of nationalism. The study draws attention to the view that nationalism was not only marked by a series of urban and popular rural protests but was also a struggle where people, in a variety of positions, taking a wide range of steps, posed a severe challenge to the British 'authority and hegemony. Tile popular struggles, which converged with the Civil Disobedience movement, moved .beyond the parameter _of congress programme and threw up their own agendas. Focusing on Maldah, this study throws light on the popular perceptions and translations of nationalism: which were linked up with the desires and aspirations of the adivasi peasants.

Tales of a Distant War: The First World War and Coexisting Worldviews in Ramananda Chattopadhyay’s Prabasi
(University of North Bengal, 2020-03) Ghosh, Aryama; Majhi, Sujit
With the First World War, colonial peripheries like India experienced superfluity of news contents and general interest among the newsreaders regarding wars and world politics. The reportage style of various periodicals like the Prabasi started to base on that newfound cultural consumption market with their shift of focus towards the events and interpretation related to war. This article argues that the prior growth of cosmopolitanism in the Bengali cultural public sphere found a boost in this process. The war acted as a catalyst and started producing editorial pieces substantiating subnationalism. These nationalist and internationalist ideals, despite their innate contradiction, coexisted and furthered the future expansion of the Bengali worldview.
