In my previous post, I spoke about introduction of the
history of Calcutta, but this Calcutta
is not currently Calcutta, but only one part of present Kolkata. The current
Calcutta, combined of Govindapur , sutanuti andkolikata.
Let us know some history of three populations
1) Sutanuti - There is a great deal of controversy over the
naming of this section. The current northern part of Kolkata's Nimtalato jora
bogan was "Sutanuti" or "Chuthanuti". It is commonly said
that the name of this part is "Sutanuti" from the business of cotton
and nuts. Again historians have said that Jahangir donets Kolkata as JAIGIR (a
mughol rule to transfer of power to others of a villege/place) to , Barisha's sabarno
royChowdhury. "Shyamura" was the goddess of this roychowdhuri family .
There was a large umbrella in front of the temple of this roychowdhury house,
in this part prasad was distributed or looted at the end of the day.
Chattarula - Sutatali - Sutanati - Sutanuti.
Job Charnock set up the first trade kit in this area.
2) Gobindapur - The then Govindpur is the present fort
William and its adjoining areas. According to many peope, the name of this part
is called Govindpur under the name of God Gobind Jaw. But according to another,
a person named Raja Basanta Roy's employee Govinda Dutta dreamed that Bhagwan
Gobinda Jaw was commanding him "Soak
the soil, get money ". Gobind Datta got a lot of money in the place
of his choice near Kalighat. The place is named after Govindpur.
3) Calcutta or Dali Calcutta - The special mention of this
part is not known, but this part was under the zamindari / control of Subarna
Roy Choudhury, which is available from the Mughal king. This part is today's
Dalhousie Square or B B D Bug.
The history of these three settlements:
Portuguese has arrived in the sixteenth century to have the
advantage of having a convenient location for trade in Europe and East Asia in
the Hooghly river. They are on the
Hooghly river
Construction of the first commercial house in the original
Saptagram of Basin. But due to the change in the speed of the river and
repeated floods, they were forced to move their work place east of the river.
In the middle of the seventeenth century, various Bengali business families and
Jagat Sheth of Marwari used to trade cotton and cotton in this part.
In 1620 AD, Jagat Sheth and Basak's started business of
printing ink, salt and lime. After this, Mitra, Ghosh, Mallik, Sen, these family
started business in Sutanuti village. The Portuguese and the Dutch made trade
clusters in this part and run the business with the help of the agent. They
mainly collected solvents, stored in warehouses and exported.
In 1600, the East India Company received the Royal Charter
from Elizabeth-1. They came to India and started business from Surat and
Madras. In 1653, emperor Shah Shuja got the right to construct trade clusters
in Patna, Dhaka, Kashimbazar, Malda, Rajmahal etc. in order to trade in Bengal.
They started business by building a business cabin in Hughli and Kashimbazar
Job Charnock once came to Calcutta in 1686, but subadar Sayesta Khan was forced
to go back. Again job Charnak returned
in1690, he started business in Sutanuti area.
Evolution between 1690 and 1700
Although the construction of the trade clusters in 1690, the
dominance of the English was not increased. In 1695 the number of the raw house
was 6 thousand to 7 thousand and the ripe house was 8 to 10. The total
population was 4000 to 5000 and the total land area was 1850 bighas. A handful
of residents were Englishmen and the rest of the small businessmen and tribals.
The names of many neighborhoods of Kolkata come from the names of these tribes
and small business class. For example- Kumurtuli, KuluTola, dorji Para etc.
Charnock's death in January 1692, her son-in-law Charles
Ayar and other officials continued to carry on business. In 1698, Emperor Azam
Un Shan was forced to pay the full Zamindari Englishmen of Sutanuti, Calcutta
and Govindapur.
The business direction towards the Calcutta, by the hands of
Sir Gold Sorrow, has come. In 1699, the work of Fort William started. In 1700,
the farman of Faukhsiyr got the right to trade in Bangla, Bihar, Odisha for a
yearly payment of 3000 rupees and in Farukshiyar, he got the rights of more
areas east and south as lease and the creation of the modern greater Calcutta.
