The British relentlessly pursued their policy of consolidating their hegemony. By attempting to destroy the traditional arts and crafts, industry and commerce besides the systems of education.Lord T.B Macaulay's educational policy gave rise to a new urban elite bemused by the British lifestyle and practices and employed by the British to man their administration.

The same year, ie,1897 on January 23, by a quirk of history, was born Subhas Chandra Bose, who was to shake the mighty British Empire to its foundations and help hasten its liquidation.Bose possessed a rare combination of qualities, viz., indomitable courage, utter disregard of danger, unflinching devotion to the cause of India's independence, selflessness and disdain of worldly pursuits traceable in his family background and upbringing.
