<P> the main points are: The social boycott was an outcome of economic swadeshi movement . It was preached to go against the repressive measures of the Government . The social boycott was a very powerful weapon . A man selling or buying foreign goods or in any way opposing swadeshi Movement and helping Government in putting it down would be subjected to various degrees of humiliation . Such social ostracism would make a man quite unhappy, sometimes even very miserable and the Government could do very little to help him in his distress . But such non-violent ostracism was not the only form of persecution . Sometimes, the' renegade' would suffer material loss and bodily or mental pain . </P> <P> Students in promoting the boycott and swadeshi movement drew upon them the wrath and violence of the British Raj . Circulars were issued forbidding the students under threat of severe penalty to associate themselves in any way with the Boycott movement . Even the cry of Vande Mataram in streets and other public places was declared to be a punishable offence . Schools or colleges whose students disobeyed the order were not only threatened with the withdrawal of Government grants and even with disaffiliation, but their students were to be declared ineligible for Government Service . The authorities of the educational institutions were asked to keep strict watch over their pupils, and if unable to control them, were to report the names to the Education Department for taking necessary disciplinary action . The magistrates were asked to inform the teachers and those connected with the management of educational institutions, that if necessary they might be enrolled as Special Constables . The Direction of Public Instruction asked the principals of colleges to show causes why their students who took part in the picketing should not be expelled . </P> <P> All this produced a storm of indignation in the country and the Indian - owned Press denounced the circulars in the strongest language . The people of Bengal took up the challenge . The students of some colleges in Rangpur defied the Government orders and when they were fined, the guardians refused to pay the fine and stabled a national school for the boys who were expelled . Teachers were also asked to resign for not whipping the boys . </P> <P> The action of the authorities led to a movement among the students to boycott the Calcutta University which they described as Golamkhana (House of manufacturing slaves). At a conference attended by a large number of very eminent men of Bengal in different walks of life held on 10 November 1905, it was decided to establish at once a National Council of Education in order to organize a system of education--literary, scientific and technical--on national lines and under national control . The number of national schools also grew apace with time . </P>
