Without proper rendering support, question marks, boxes, or other Kolkata (/k'l'ké/[15] or /k'l'k't/,[16] Bengali: [kolkata] (listen), also known as Calcutta /k'l'kékét/,[16] the official name until 2001) is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal, located on the eastern bank of the Hooghly River, about 80 kilometers west of the border with Bangladesh. It is the main business, trade and financial centre of East India and the main communication port for the North-East Indian states[17] and has the third largest urban economy in India. [13] According to the 2011 Indian Census, Kolkata is the seventh most populous city in India, with 4.5 million inhabitants within the city limits and a population of more than 14.1 million people in the Kolkata metropolitan area, making it the third most populous metropolitan area in India. The port of Calcutta is India's oldest operating port and the only major river port. Calcutta is known as the Cultural Capital of India for the historical and architectural importance of the city. [1] In the late 17th century, the three villages that preceded Calcutta were ruled by the Nawab of Bengal under Mughal Suzerainty. After the Nawab granted the East India Company a trading license in 1690,[18] the area was expanded by the company into an increasingly fortified trading post. Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah occupied Calcutta in 1756, and the East India Company recaptured it the following year. In 1793, the East Indian company was strong enough to abolish rule and assumed full sovereignty of the region. Under corporate rule and later under the British Raj, Calcutta served as the capital of Britain-held territories in India until 1911, when its perceived geographical disadvantages, combined with growing nationalism in Bengal, led to a relocation of the capital to New Delhi. Calcutta was the center of the Indian independence movement. After independence in 1947, Calcutta, once the center of Indian trade, culture, and politics, suffered from decades of political violence and economic stagnation. [19] The culture of Calcutta is a demographically diverse city and offers peculiarities that include unmistakably tightly knit neighborhoods (paras) and freestyle conversations (adda). Kolkata is home to West Bengal's Film Industry Tollywood and cultural institutions such as the Academy of Fine Arts, the Victoria Memorial, the Asiatic Society, the Indian Museum and the National Library of India. Among the scientific institutions, Kolkata is home to the Agri Horticultural Society of India, the Geological Survey of India, the Botanical Survey of India, the Calcutta Mathematical Society, the Indian Science Congress Association, the Zoological Survey of India, the Institution of Engineers, the Anthropological India and the Indian Public Health Association. Four Nobel laureates and two Nobel laureates are associated the city. [20] Although Kolkata is home to the most important cricket venues and franchises, it differs from other Indian cities in that it focuses on football and other sports. Etymology Main Article: Etymology of Calcutta The word Kolkata (Bengali: [Akolkata]) derives from the city (Bengali: [K'likata]), the Bengali name of one of the three villages that preceded the arrival of the British in the area where the city was finally founded; the other two villages were Sutanuti and Govindapur. [21] There are several explanations for the etymology of this name: Kolikata is believed to be a variation of Kalikkhetré (Bengali: কালীে, which means field [of the goddess] Kali. It can also be a variation of 'Kalikshetra' (Sanskrit: कालीे, lit. area of the goddess Kali). Another theory is that the name derives from Kalighat. [22] Alternatively, the name may have been derived from the Bengali term kilkila (Bengali: ) or flat area. [23] The name may have its origin in the words khal (Bengali: খাল )), which means channel, followed by Kaa (Bengali: কাটা [ˈkaʈa]), which can mean dug. [24] According to another theory, the area specialized in the production of Quicklime or koli chun (Bengali: চু ন) and coir or kata (Bengali: [Kata]); therefore it was called Kolikata). [23] Although the name of the city was always pronounced kolkata or Kalikata in Bengali, the anglitized form of Calcutta was the official name until 2001, when it was changed
