Description
Excerpt from Selections From the Writings of Hurrish Chunder Mookerji: Compiled From the Hindoo Patriot
A literary man is best remembered by his works. But though on this account we certainly attach great weight to this collection of his writings we do not ?atter ourselves with the idea that this volume would be anything like a fitting memorial to the man who, more than any other single man, has been responsible for the inspiration of national life at any rate in Bengal. For, we do not rate the life and work of Hurrish Chunder Mookerji as a merely brilliant career. We can trace to him the source and the nourish ment of that political life in our people whose force and importance we are only beginning to appreciate and which are no doubt big with huge possibilities in the future. For of the little band of earnest men who ?ourished in the early days of English education in India and helped to drag India out of the slough of ignorance and inertia into which she was fallen, Burrish Chunder was about the foremost. And what a brilliant set of men they were One cannot recall their careers without a refreshing sense of the life and vigour that characterised them. Men deeply imbued with western thought and culture 3 whose studies in the different depart ments of learning of the day went to depths which are out of fashion in these busy days of scrappy, knowledge 3 men who felt the ignorance around them like a dense mist which must be cleared, men inspired with a lofty desire to raise their country from these depths and teach her to emulate the healthy and vigorous ideals of life and thought that England opened before them - these were the men who lived in the days of Hurrish Chunder Mookerji, - and amongst them there was none more brilliant, none more enthusiastic and none who has left a more abiding mark on the history of our people than Hurrish Chunder Mookerji.
