Polarization of radiation in the UBVRI spectral bands of the stars in the vicinity of four Bok Globules/dark clouds is observed with 1.5 and 1m telescopes. Moderate to high degree of polarization and alignment of polarization vectors indicate the possibility of frozen magnetic fields. Other possibilities for retarding the cloud collapse have also been pointed out.
