Abstract
British dominion was first established in Bengal. Calcutta was the heartland of British commercial activities and the first capital of British India. Naturally Western education first introduced in Bengal. This rationalism, which was the fruit of English education, yielded revolutionary ideas in social and religious sphere and it gradually affected the political consciousness of the educated Bengalis. During the first half of the nineteenth century educated groups of India particularly in the cities of Bengal started imitating the West. This became a yardstick of ‘modernity, progressiveness and greatness’ to them. But during the second half of the nineteenth century situation began to change. A section among the educated Bengali Bhadralok began to be disillusioned with the Liberal politics of the Congress and the British Constitutional system. As a result a critique against these dual systems began to be developed by them. They made their basis the traditional Hinduism and gave it a new shape. Bipin Chandra Pal (1858-1932), an extremist leader of Bengal, lived in the same milieu when these changes were taking place. Now the questions come before us are – How his ideas of nationalism got merged with the social and cultural transition of the period? How his nationalism varied from secular nationalism of the early congress? Was his nationalism anti-Muslim in character? We shall try to find out the answers of these questions in this article. The New Hindu Movement, The New Patriotism, Dharma, Varnashrama dharma, Social hierarchy, Indian Spirituality, Khilafat Movement, Hindu Raj, Swaraj.
