        abstract = {Nationalism is one of the key features of the novels of Bhabani Bhattacharya who is considered to be the major political and social novelist of the age. It is felt that nationalism is a weapon for a dominated community to fight with a foreign rule of an imperialist country. India is a very fine example where various people of different races and religions, castes and sub- castes speaking a number of languages and dialects. He has depicted the socio-political and economic changes in India on the background of the contemporary historical events and social events. He is seriously concerned with the plight of the destitute and the low class people. It can be said that there is unity in diversity in India. The development of national movement was marked by the birth of the Indian National Congress in 1885, Bhabani Bhattacharya points out that by 1875, the seeds of nationalism sown by the British rule itself had germinated in the soil of India and the erstwhile geographical term had acquired a new meaning and a new significance. The Indian National Congress played a very important role to oppose all official acts by constitutional methods. Influenced with the idea of nationalism, eminent moderate leaders held the British Government responsible for the economic ruin of the country. There were some extremists in contrast to the old leaders. Bhattacharya focuses on the idea of nationalism in his novels. He protests and revolts against selfish and orthodox communities who drag always the civilization in the backward direction and they remain as hurdles in the growth of nation. Bhattacharya’s educations, travels and experiences as a journalist shaped his vision of life. The present paper is a depiction of the presentation of the Indian Social, Economic and Political situation during the period of Imperial rule.},
