Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 5
Abstract
The spread of English education in the second half of nineteenth century resulted in the emergence of a purposeful and organized national consciousness in the divided Orissa. The famous Woods’ dispatch and the establishment of the Calcutta University in 1857 provided necessary impetus for the growth of public interest for English education.Further, the establishment of the Ravenshaw College at Cuttack in 1868 provided great incentive for the spread of higher education among the aspirants of Orissa who were deprived of the college education due to the distance from Orissa to Calcutta and high cost of living in the Calcutta city Educated Oriyas and the domiciled Bengalis constituted the elite class in the society of Orissa.This elite class collaborated together in the socio-political activities of the seventies of nineteenth century. Chandramohan Maharana, Ganapati Das, Mani Mohapatra, Gopal Chandra Praharaj, Madhusudan Das, Abhiram Bhanj, Nandkishore Bal, Gopabandhu Das, Radhanath Ray, Gourisankar Ray, Ramsanker Ray, Pyarimohan Acharaya, etc., were the representative of both communities of the elite class. They played significant roles in the growth of Oriya nationalism in an inspiring manner.
