YOUNG BENGAL MOVEMENT AND HENRY VIVIAN DEROZIO

During late 1820s and early 1830s there emerged a radical, intellectual trend among the youth in bengal which came to be known as "YOUNG BENGAL MOVEMENT" :

1. A Young Anglo-indian "HENRY VIVIAN DEROZIO" who taught at hindu college was the leader and inspirer of this progressive trend. Derozio was perhaps  also the first nationalist poet of modern india.

2.Derozio removed from the hindu college in 1831 because of his ideas of radicalism.

3.Reasons for their failure was social conditions of that time which were not suitable to adopt the idea of radicalisation at that time. Secondly movement failed to connect with the masses and got no support from any other social group or organisation.

4. Despite so many barriers Derozian demanded induction of indians in higher grades of services,freedom of press,trial by jury, better treatment to indian labour in abroad at british colonies ,revision of company charter etc.

5.Later surrender nath benarjee described Derozian as the "pioneer of modern civilisation of bengal".
