Excerpt: ...the under-mentioned places; and notwithstanding the acquisitions which have since taken place, is continued under the same arrangement: --1. Coast of Malabar, which includes the whole of the western side of the Peninsula. 2. Coast of Coromandel, which includes the whole of the eastern coast. 3. Island of Ceylon. 4. Coast of Sumatra. V. That to and from the under-mentioned places comprehended in 1801, under the head of Foreign Asia; and though some of the places have since heen added to the British possessions the same arrangement is continued. Under the head of various places are comprehended the Maldive and Laccadive Islands, Mozambique, and other ports on the east coast of Africa, New South Wales, Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, &c. The whole of the commerce from port to port in India, commonly called the country trade, is in the hands of individuals, the East India Company never interfering; and from the various statements, it will be seen that there is no place of commercial note from the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope, to which a trade is not driven by the British or native merchants resident in the Company's territories, except Japan, to which country the East India Company, in the infancy of their establishment, made several unsuccessful attempts to establish a trade. For a long period, all European nations, except the Dutch, have been forbidden visiting Japan; notwithstanding which a ship has recently been sent from Calcutta, but was unable to obtain permission to trade. Until the passing of the Act in the year 1793, the East India Company had almost a monopoly of trade between India and China. No private person was permitted to trade on his own account. If any person or body of persons without the express permission of the...

Download or read book Birth of a Colonial City written by Ranjit Sen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-03-20 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before Calcutta was ‘discovered’ by Job Charnock, it thrived by the Hugli since times immemorial. This book, and its companion Colonial Calcutta, is a biographical account of the when, the how and the what of a global city and its emergence under colonial rule in the 1800s. Ranjit Sen traces the story of how three clustered villages became the hub of the British Empire and a centre of colonial imagination. He examines the historical and geopolitical factors that were significant in securing its prominence, and its subsequent urbanization which was a colonial experience without an antecedent. Further, it sheds light on Calcutta’s early search for identity — how it superseded interior towns and flourished as the seat of power for its hinterland; developed its early institutions, while its municipal administration slowly burgeoned. A sharp analysis of the colonial enterprise, this volume lays bare the underbelly of the British Raj. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of modern history, South Asian history, urban studies, British Studies and area studies.

Book excerpt: In the popular imagination, Calcutta is a packed and pestilential sprawl, made notorious by the Black Hole and the works of Mother Teresa. Kipling called it a City of Dreadful Night, and a century later V.S. Naipaul, Gunter Grass and Louis Malle revived its hellish image. This is the place where the West first truly encountered the East. Founded in the 1690s by East India Company merchants beside the Hugli River, Calcutta grew into India's capital during the Raj and the second city of the British Empire. Named the City of Palaces for its neoclassical mansions, Calcutta was the city of Clive, Hastings, Macaulay and Curzon. It was also home to extraordinary Bengalis such as Rabindranath Tagore, the first Asian Nobel laureate, and Satyajit Ray, among the geniuses of world cinema. Above all, Calcutta (renamed Kolkata in 2001) is a city of extremes, where exquisite refinement rubs shoulders with coarse commercialism and political violence. Krishna Dutta explores these multiple paradoxes, giving personal insight into Calcutta's unique history and modern identity as reflected in its architecture, literature, cinema and music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings home the story of how three clustered villages grew into a primate city, in which a garrison town, a port city and the capital of an empire merged into one entity—Calcutta. This and its companion volume Birth of a Colonial City examine the geopolitical factors that were significant in securing Calcutta's position in the light of growing influence of the East India Company and subsequently the British Empire. A definitive history of Calcutta in its nascent years, this book discusses the challenges of city-planning, the de-industrialization at the hands of British imperialists, the catastrophic fall of the Union Bank, the advent of British capital, and the rise of the Bengali business enterprise in the colonial era. It also underlines how Calcutta facilitated the development of a political consciousness and the pivotal political and cultural role it played when the movement for independence took hold in the country. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of modern South Asian history, British Studies, city and area studies.

Book excerpt: Did you know that Kolkata has the country’s largest library? The city gave India its first printing press. The first foreign-recognised educational institution was also in Kolkata. The first lift (a squirrel cage one) was inaugurated in the city of joy. A large number of Nobel-nominated people and institutions are also from Kolkata. It’s not just the Oriental connection which people link with Kolkata, it has stories of many religions, cultures, stalwarts, freedom struggle, education, architecture, nationalism, literature, sports, science, revolts and languages. This has attracted many, insiders as well as outsiders, to the city. As an outsider to the city, the history bug caught the author as soon as he landed in Kolkata. The weekend habit of discovering the city has resulted in this novel where the author cherry-picks 21 places in and around Kolkata. He expects incremental awareness and eagerness towards these facets of history in particular and a sense of respect for all-historical elements of this great city in general.
