Review of Kolkata by Musharaf Hassan

Fort William built by English East India company is a fortified structure for secure transactions of the Company." The Black Hole of Calcutta" episode which took place in side the fort changed histor (Read More)y of India for ever. It was just not the defeat of nawab of Bengal at the hands of Clive,but It was the beginning of the end of Muslim rule in India that paved the way for establishing British Paramountcy in India.The central characters Clive,Siraj-Ud-Daula and Mir Jaffer will all be remembered for their wrong deeds by generations of Indians. I cannot comment on the design or the concept of the structure.The British built so many structures in India that ,this one structure is not a marvel. This is one of the oldest constructions of British in India that changed the history of India which arises some inquisitive ness. This historical fort is out of bounds for ordinary Indians like me for it lodges the sensitive Eastern Command of the Indian army.
