The writing discusses History of Midnapore, Part-1 by Narendra Nath Das, which introduced the author to the Chuar Rebellion. Although the book is in English and largely unknown to Bengali readers, its disorganized structure disrupts the flow of events. It also lacks an analysis of the impact of British policies on local history. The author disagrees with Das’s assessment of the Chuar Rebellion and notes that no one has sufficiently defined ‘Chuar’ from an ethnological perspective. Due to limitations in resources and living in a remote area, the author couldn’t fully utilize Das’s materials. Narendra Nath Das was the author’s maternal uncle and a key figure in the Indian independence movement in Midnapore, and his work History of Midnapore, Part-11 is considered an invaluable historical document. The author is personally indebted to him. The Chuar, a Bengali-speaking indigenous group, led the first uprising against British rule, the Chuar Rebellion, which lasted nearly fifty years but ultimately failed due to inferior weapons and military strategies. Despite its failure, the rebellion contributed to a warrior tradition and inspired literature, while showcasing the vibrant culture of the tribe through their rituals, festivals, and music. The book highlights this history and culture.
