A true history of our nation's struggle for freedom has supreme importance in these days of an all-pervading renaisance throughout our country, generating potent efforts for salutary, transformations in different spheres of life, political, economic, social and cultural. Our ancient past is undoubtedly a marvelous source of inspiration for the onward march of our New India on rational lines. Our recent past also, marked by unceasing and heroic endeavours for emancipation from alien yoke, through trials, tribulations, sacrifices, sufferings and tears of the millions of our countrymen, under the guidance of our patriots and mostly under the spiritual leader- ship of Mahatma Gandhi, is full of weighty lessons for us in this period of dynamic changes in human society, which are causing a revaluation of the values of life in India as in other parts of the world.

Bihar, the classic land of Indian civilization, where human genius unfolded itself in manifold petals age after age, has played a highly significant role in the successive phases of our national struggle till the attainment of freedom. In fact, it was here at Champaran that the Father of the Nation made his first successful experiment in India's new national- ism, characterized by emphasis on Truth, Love, and Non- violence, for the relief of tormented humanity from various agonies. Response of Bihar to the country's clarion call for liberty in different periods was spontaneous, splendid and fruitful.
