Summary: The book "National Awakening and the Bangabasi" sheds light on the significance of the Bangabasi newspaper in Bengal's history during the late 19th century. The publication played a crucial role in the national awakening of India by advocating against imperialistic oppression. The book details the editorship of Krishna Chandra Banerjee and his bold editorials that challenged the British government and promoted nationalism. The Sedition Case against the Bangabasi in 1891, under Sections 124A and 500 of the Penal Code, marked a historic event that highlighted the government's attitude towards the Indian press and public. The book restores this lost episode of national history, emphasizing the newspaper's importance in the struggle for freedom. Through the accounts and recollections from prominent figures of that era, the book offers a glimpse into the cultural invasion by imperialists and the role of religious unity in promoting nationalistic movements. The editor's renunciation of the newspaper assets for the welfare of the Bangabasi showcases his dedication to the cause. The book serves as a tribute to the editor and the newspaper's contribution to India's national consciousness and remains a valuable addition to the literature on the Indian Freedom Movement.
