Description: The Swadeshi years in Bengal is a rich crop of plays and songs, literature and painting - richer indeed than any produced by later phases of nationalism in this part of the country. The patriotic songs composed during those years have remained a source of inspiration and are part of modem Bengal's musical inheritance. There were besides numerous essays on Swadeshi themes a large number of plays. Actually the arts during the Swadeshi years were employed to construct a political and cultural ideology, and commented back on that ideology, in a manner that was not immediately apparent. We are not done with Swadeshi yet, in Bengal or the rest of India. The word is back in our political parlance. though with a changed content But that is another story, and not set forth in song or drama.
