When you are in Kolkata, when you are in India, you have
read a lot about beautiful women in history. But do you know about the most
beautiful woman in Kolkata?
The normal ans is no. No one remembered him. His name is
'The Celebrated Miss Anderson' only in the pages of history.
Lets come to know something interesting about her.
The time is in the middle of the eighteenth century. This
means that the battle of Palashi has taken place. The rule of the company is
well established in Kolkata. Hundreds of boys are coming to India to work in
the East India Company. Now think of the hundred single boys in a place, hey
dad need a little entertainment. All you need is a life partner. The company
did not stop but started "The Fishing Fleet" from England and brought
the girl to Kolkata at her own expense. No, no bad intentions, the company
said, "Find the groom you like, time is 1 years." Boy happy girl too.
Some soon found their groom and some did not find the groom and went back to
England sadly.
That's when Miss Elizabeth came to Calcutta. Elizabeth Jane,
daughter of Robert Anderson, the great owner of the East India Company. In
England he returned to his parents after finishing his college. But the story
started from here, the young Bachelor English men do not know who this
Elizabeth is. As soon as Elizabeth arrived in Kolkata, news broke that such a
beautiful girl had never come to Kolkata. So there is nothing more to say that
everyone wants Elizabeth to marry him. He didn't just stop here and say,
"I would best fit my gown if you wore a pink lace piping Pie Green color
suit." Main funny thing is all 16 boys came to party with same green suit.
Laughter is all about, but everyone took the matter sportingly. Elizabeth did
not disappoint anyone but everyone danced separately. The real sighting
happened at the Fair, when the all 16 boys lit the torch and passed by
Elizabeth's horse car to her house.
Finally, on September 16 1776, Elizabeth choose Richard barwell
as her groom . It is heard that the
gambling and the drug addiction of both the girls was very intense. What else
can be said? This is what happens to beautiful girls, Lack of luck. She did not
have to suffer much for Elizabeth on November 9, 1778 when she gave birth to a child of only 23
years she passed away.
You may not have remembered her, but still Elizabeth Kolkata
is lying in the South Parkstreet Cemetery at Kolkata. Elizabeth's tomb is one
of the tallest tombs in the South Parkstreet Cemetery. Sometime on the
horseback, his name is still read today by Elizabeth Blaine 'The Celebrated
Miss Anderson'.
