VO ৰংশ পরিচয় "The Ranee's feeling of hostility against the British rule is pardonable. Her husband, for twenty years reigned almost as an independent prince, After his death, her brother Janokiran had mantained an equal Estate. Suddenly her brother was called upon to pay his revenue with a punctuality never known before and, in default, was sent in custody to calcutta, and she never saw him again. The collections of the Estate were entirely taken out of the hands of the family and even the expenses of repairs of the Rajbari and the monthly wages of the servants were defrayed by Government officers without reference to her wishes. The Ranee was not even allowed to take care of her adopted son, nine or ten years old; but he was made over for education to the manager Rankanta Roy for whom she had a strong personal aversion. At the same time the incone of the Zanindary was being de creased by the abolition of all the illigal taxes and cesses which the Rajas had collected as long as she could remember, and by the determination of the Government that the family charities were to be paid out of the privy purse and not out of the imperial revenue as heretofore. She was naturally in no longer to look on Mr. Hatch's reforms as benificial or to acquise in the action of Government.'
