'BOYCOTT' this is a word we use mostly in our day to day conversation but few people know the origin of this word.
It was named after Charles boycott. Most people dont know sir Charles but he is famous.
Sir charles boycott was a land agent in Scotland. He managed the land on behalf of the rich aristocrat living far away in england. He had peasants who worked the land and payed rent.

Due to the economic downturn of the 18th century, most people could not pay their rent.
So they approached charles boycott to ask for a reduction in rent but he refused.

So they decided to get back at boycott by disassociating with him. Nobody was to talk to him, buy from him, sell to him, nobody even wanted to sit with him in church. The peasant excommunicated him. No body agreed to work for him. He had to do all his chores. Nobody agreed to help him harvest his crops.

Where does the term “boycott” come from? Many might be surprised it originates from Ireland in the time of Charles Stuart Parnell. Charles Cunningham Boycott (March 12, 1832 – June 19, 1897) was an English land agent who became infamous after he was ignored and ostracized by his Mayo Irish community in Ireland after treating them very badly. Their actions gave the English language the verb to boycott. Boycott was a former army officer and had served in the British Army 39th Regiment, which brought him to Ireland. After retiring from the army, Boycott worked as a land agent for Lord Erne, a major landowner in the Lough Mask area of County Mayo who lived off the exorbitant rents he charged tenants. Evictions by Boycott were many and bloody.

In 1880, as part of Charles Stewart Parnell and the Land League’s campaign for the Three Fs (fair rent, fixity of tenure, and free sale) and opposition to evictions which were numerous and heartbreaking, action was taken against money grabbing landlords. When Boycott set about evicting 11 tenants the locals had had enough. The Mayo branch of the Irish Land League urged Boycott's employees to withdraw their labor and began a campaign of isolation against Boycott in the local community. This campaign included shops in nearby Ballinrobe refusing to serve him, and the withdrawal of services. Boycott found himself a marked man, not fearing violence but even worse the scorn, silence and disdain of simply everyone he encountered..

Furious, he made a fatal mistake by informing the all powerful London media of his plight. The campaign against Boycott became a huge issue in the British press after he wrote the following letter to The Times. “Sir, The following detail may be interesting to your readers as exemplifying the power of the Land League. On the 22nd September a process-server, escorted by a police force of seventeen men, retreated to my house for protection, followed by a howling mob of people, who yelled and hooted at the members of my family

“On the ensuing day, September 23rd, the people collected in crowds upon my farm, and some hundred or so came up to my house and ordered off, under threats of ulterior consequences, all my farm labourers, workmen, and stablemen, commanding them never to work for me again. “My herd has been frightened by them into giving up his employment, though he has refused to give up the house he held from me as part of his emolument. Another herd on an off farm has also been compelled to resign his situation. “My blacksmith has received a letter threatening him with murder if he does any more work for me, and my laundress has also been ordered to give up my washing. A little boy, twelve years of age, who carried my post-bag to and from the neighbouring town of Ballinrobe, was struck and threatened on 27th September, and ordered to desist from his work; since which time I have sent my little nephew for my letters and even he, on 2nd October, was stopped on the road and threatened if he continued to act as my messenger. “The shopkeepers have been warned to stop all supplies to my house, and I have just received a message from the post mistress to say that the telegraph messenger was stopped and threatened on the road when bringing out a message to me and that she does not think it safe to send any telegrams which may come for me in the future for fear they should be abstracted and the messenger injured. My farm is public property; the people wander over it with impunity. My crops are trampled upon, carried away in quantities, and destroyed wholesale. “The locks on my gates are smashed, the gates thrown open, the walls thrown down, and the stock driven out on the roads. I can get no workmen to do anything, and my ruin is openly avowed as the object of the Land League unless I throw up everything and leave the country. I say nothing about the danger to my own life, which is apparent to anybody who knows the country. CHARLES C. BOYCOTT
