The Bengalee tea entrepreneurs of Jalpaiguri of colonial period can be described as a ‘distinct class’. The tea entrepreneurs of Jalpaiguri included both Hindu and Muslim entrepreneurs. They have difference of opinion regarding Indian National Movement. But in worth mentionable that majority of them could not keep themselves aloof from the movements of Indian National Congress. The Swadeshi and Boycott movement, the Civil Disobedience movement and the Quit India movement touched Jalpaiguri along with the Bengalee entrepreneurs. They also published several magazines to spread nationalist propaganda and thus became a part of India’s Struggle for Independence.
