A Scholarly Lecture on ‘Origin & Growth of International Relations As An Academic Discipline’  was organised by the Department of History, C.K.B. College, Teok. The Resource Person of the same was Ms. Ranju Devi, Associate Professor & Head, Department of Political Science, C.K.B. College, Teok. Prof. Ranju Devi in her voluminous speech elaborated very scientifically about the different aspects of the growth of the International Relations as a specific subject particularly after the First World War . Since the period of the 1914-19 , the world had witnessed the first world war where the imperialist interests of the Western nations did led to the devastations in terms of human and non-human. Another significant event of that period was the culmination of the Communist ideological revolution in Russia under the able leadership of V.I.Lenin which decided the fate of Russia in the world war through the signing of the pact called Brest litovosk in 1917 . The world after the war was not made safe and the treaty of Versailles with strict imposition of the condition of reparations ultimately encouraged to grow up fascist and the Nazi ideological regimes in Italy and Germany that created the war scenario more gloomy and imminent. The life of the League of the Nations a dream of the American President Woodrow Wilson did not last long because of such war like behaviour of the advanced capitalist nations which in turn did led to the another war through the invasion of Poland in 1939 and which ended in 1940s with the detonation of the two atomic bombs over the two Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki (6 and 9 August,1947)  and where lakhs of people died and injured for life. The second world war gave a turning point to the subject of the international relations and intensive theoretical as well as pragmatic studies have been made to establish a coherent form of a  peaceful international society.
