The hundred years of Indian National Congress in Bihar was edited by
P. N. Ojha
The volume was edited by P. N. Ojha — option 2.
What the book is. The Indian National Congress completed a hundred years in 1985, having been founded at Bombay in December 1885, and the centenary produced a series of state-level histories tracing the organisation’s work province by province. The Bihar volume, covering the Congress in the province from its earliest committees through Champaran, Non-Cooperation, Civil Disobedience and Quit India to the years after Independence, was edited by P. N. Ojha.
| Historian | Best known for |
|---|---|
| K. K. Datta (Kalikinkar Datta) | A leading historian of Bihar; author of works on the freedom movement in Bihar and co-author of the standard Advanced History of India with R. C. Majumdar and H. C. Raychaudhuri |
| P. N. Ojha | Editor of the centenary volume on a hundred years of the Congress in Bihar |
| A. R. Desai | Sociologist, author of Social Background of Indian Nationalism, a Marxist analysis of the national movement |
| B. B. Misra | Author of The Indian Middle Classes and of studies of the administrative history of India |
Why this is a difficult question. All four are real scholars, and two of them — K. K. Datta and B. B. Misra — wrote extensively on Bihar and on the national movement, which makes them very natural guesses. The question turns on the specific editorship of a specific centenary volume rather than on a general association with the subject.
Why Bihar matters in Congress history. The province gave the movement the Champaran satyagraha of 1917, Gandhi’s first campaign in India; the Quit India upsurge of 1942, which was more intense in Bihar than almost anywhere else; and leaders of the first rank in Rajendra Prasad, Anugrah Narayan Sinha, Sri Krishna Sinha and Jayaprakash Narayan — which is why a separate centenary volume was thought worth compiling for the state.
Hence, the answer is P. N. Ojha.
