Bankimchandra was a stalwart in terms of his writings in the nineteenth-century Bengal. He was one of the pioneers of nationalism in India and a Hindu revivalist. Prior to the publication of his prose writings in the forms of novels, articles and essays, nationalism was not an Indian phenomenon. It had been imported from the West through English education. Such English education gave the Indians an exposure of utilitarianism and the ideologies of French Revolution. Bankimchandra’s political thought accords with the characteristic of utilitarianism and the ideologies of French revolution. He thought that like Europe the rise of India would be possible only with the help of nationalism. He was well aware that the rational element of English education, which is the basis of nationalism, independence and political liberty, could not solely revive Hindu society. There are certain differences between the European concept of nationalism and the Indian concept of nationalism. Bankim’s idea of nationalism or patriotism is based on the ideal of love for the well-being of all. His concept of nationalism took its shape in his revolutionary novel Anandamath . Both the novel and the song vandemātaram used in that novel played a crucial role in the nationalist movement in India. In this article, an attempt has been made to understand the concept of nationalism as found in Bankimchandra’s writings.

重温印度民族主义：Bankimchandra的视角

就他在19世纪的孟加拉国的著作而言，Bankimchandra是坚定的支持者。他是印度民族主义的先驱者之一，也是印度教复兴主义者。在以小说，文章和散文的形式发表他的散文作品之前，民族主义并不是印度的现象。它是通过英语教育从西方进口的。这种英语教育使印第安人暴露了功利主义和法国大革命的意识形态。Bankimchandra的政治思想符合功利主义和法国大革命意识形态的特征。他认为，像欧洲一样，只有在民族主义的帮助下印度才有可能崛起。他深知，英语教育的理性要素是民族主义，独立和政治自由的基础，不能完全复兴印度教社会。欧洲的民族主义概念与印度的民族主义概念之间存在某些差异。Bankim的民族主义或爱国主义思想是建立在为所有人谋福利的热爱理想之上的。他的民族主义概念在他的革命小说《阿南达玛斯》中得到了体现。小说和该小说中使用的范德玛拉姆之歌在印度的民族主义运动中都起着至关重要的作用。在本文中，我们试图理解Bankimchandra著作中的民族主义概念。他的民族主义概念在他的革命小说《阿南达玛斯》中得到了体现。小说和该小说中使用的范德玛拉姆之歌在印度的民族主义运动中都起着至关重要的作用。在本文中，我们试图理解Bankimchandra著作中的民族主义概念。他的民族主义概念在他的革命小说《阿南达玛斯》中得到了体现。小说和该小说中使用的范德玛拉姆之歌在印度的民族主义运动中都起着至关重要的作用。在本文中，我们试图理解Bankimchandra著作中的民族主义概念。
