Pamphlets have usually been regarded as ephemeral literature with
little permanent impact. This work demonstrates the historical
value of this genre of political literature. The propaganda
pamphlets help historians place a finger on the pulse of an
extraordinarily important historical period when new ideas
concerning the nation-state, the rights of the governed and forms
of political protest complicated the political scene and opened up
new fronts of conflict between the colonial state and the colonized
subjects. This study devises innovative approaches to reading these
pamphlets and generates new insights into the world of the
pamphleteers thus providing the readers with a more nuanced
understanding of the politics and political culture of early
twentieth-century Bengal. In the process, the book makes an
important contribution to the historical controversies that the
politics of this period has generated among scholars of Indian
nationalism.
