History of Calcutta

History of Calcutta pertains to the 200 year British rule. The British who came to trade took away 200 years of freedom from the people of India. It took years of slavery and oppression, betrayals and treachery to the way to liberty. The residue of years of continuous British dominance contributed tremendously to remove the ignorance of our people since education and communication brought enlightenment

and freedom. Tracing the history of Calcutta you can study the emergence

of the city of Calcutta, the first settlements, the Battle of Plassey that triggered the 200 year British rule, the urbanization of Calcutta, 19th century Bengal Renaissance which brought in reform and education and the ensuing religious reformation by Ramakrishna Paramahansa.

The city of Calcutta that has its roots in British imperialism has evolved into
	a city with myriads of colors blending the past with the present and effusing warmth that touches you the moment you step into it. Its strong cultural identity bestows it an individuality that is different from the other cities. The History of Calcutta offers you an interesting
study of the emergence of the city of Calcutta.
