Abstract: The present study has been carried out to discuss the revolutionary activities taken place in the district of Midnapore in the late eighteenth century. It also discusses the different activities that had greater influence in the freedom struggle of India against the British Raj. In this study, the traditional methodology of collecting data from the government official sources, from the contemporary newspapers and from the eulogistic narration of the role of nationalist leaders by popular writers have been taken into consideration. But emphasis has been laid on the unutilized literary sources. It has been indicated that in the freedom struggle the contributions of the different districts of Bengal were of varying nature and degrees, but it must be conceded that the district of Midnapur deserves the honour of the first place.
Keywords: Freedom Struggle, Greatest Contribution, Revolutionary Activities.
