\nRepression and Unity
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nOne of the most encouraging signs of the present times is the effect of repression in bringing together men of all views who
\nhave the future welfare and greatness of their country at heart. At this time last year the great fight between the old and new parties was just beginning to pass from the stage of loose occasional skirmishes into a close and prolonged struggle. The emergence of
\nNationalism as a self-conscious force determined to take shape and fight for the domination of the national mind was indicated
\nby the appearance of the Bande Mataram <\/i>as the first out-and-out Nationalist daily in the English tongue published in India.
\nFor the first time a gospel of undiluted Nationalism without any mitigating admixture of prudent concealment or diplomatic
\nreservation was poured daily into the ears of the educated class in India. At first the
\nBande Mataram <\/i>and the cause it came to
\nchampion had to make a hard fight for existence and for a voice in the country, and in the struggle which culminated in the last
\nsession of the Congress, many hard words were used on both sides, strong animosities aroused and what seemed incurable
\nmisunderstandings engendered. Those times are now fading into a half-remembered past. The second year of the paper’s existence
\nhas begun with a prosecution for sedition, but circumstances have so changed that in its hour of trial it has the sympathy of
\nthe whole of Bengal at its back. We note with satisfaction and gratitude that all classes of men, rich and poor, all shades of
\nopinion, moderate or extremist, the purveyors of ready-made loyalty alone excepted, have given us a sympathy and support
\nwhich is not merely emotional. This growing unity is mainly due to the action of the bureaucracy in attempting to put down

\nby force a movement which has now taken possession of the
\nnation’s heart beyond the possibility of dislodgment. This is the last and crowning blessing of British rule.
