In the true sense the Europeans were the harbinger in this field.

WEST BENGAL Retreats Offer Bhutan, Nepalandtibet
© Lonely Planet Publications 516 West Bengal Emerging from the tempestuous Bay of Bengal in a maze of primeval mangroves, West Bengal stretches across the vast Ganges plain before abruptly rising towards the mighty ramparts of the Himalaya. This long, narrow state is India’s most densely populated and straddles a breadth of society and geography unmatched in the country. As the cradle of the Indian Renaissance and national freedom movement, erstwhile Bengal has long been considered the country’s cultural heartland, famous for its eminent writers, poets, artists, spiritualists and revolutionaries. Overshadowed perhaps by the reputation of its capital Kolkata (Calcutta), it is nonetheless surprising that this rich and diverse state receives so few foreign tourists. In the World Heritage–listed Sunderbans, the Ganges delta hosts not only the world’s most extensive mangrove forest, but also the greatest population of the elusive Royal Bengal tiger. On the Ganges plains a calm ocean of green paddies surrounds bustling trading towns, mud-and-thatch villages, and vestiges of Bengal’s glorious and remarkable past: ornate, ter- racotta-tiled Hindu temples and monumental ruins of the Muslim nawabs (ruling princes). As the ground starts to rise, the famous Darjeeling Himalayan Railway begins its ascent to the cooler climes of former British hill stations. The train switches back and loops its way to Darjeeling, still a summer retreat and a quintessential remnant of the Raj. Here, amid Himalayan giants and renowned tea estates, lies a network of mountain trails. Along with the quiet, orchid-growing haven of nearby Kalimpong, once part of Bhutan, these mountain retreats offer a glimpse into the Himalayan cultures of Sikkim, Bhutan, Nepal and Tibet.

Chapter 3 Growth and Development of the Bengali Entrepreneurship In
Chapter 3 Growth and Development of the Bengali Entrepreneurship in the Tea Plantation Industry Bengal being the nucleus of the British Empire with its capital at Calcutta its habitants was the first to come under the influence of Western education through English education. The middle class which emerged here as a result was destined to play an important role in the history of Modern India. It was both the creature and the creator of modernity. These middle class people virtually monopolised the subordinate services in the new administration and other learned professions. Commerce and industry which could give material prosperity did not attract them much. Intellectual persuits and white collar jobs were their forte and they took pride on them. Taking advantage of their early start in English education they spread out in all directions. In contrast to it, Prince Dwarakanath Tagore was really an exceptional one1. A growing body of scholarship argues that the advent of the Bengali entrepreneurship began under the tutelage of Dwarakanath Tagore. Born in a Zamindar family of Bengal he pioneered the Bengali entrepreneurs of various field in mid – nineteenth century in his own unique ways. Kling has identified Carr, Tagore and Company (1834) as the first equal partnership between European and Indian businessmen, and as the initiator of Managing Agency system in India. In between 1836 to 1846 six Joint – Stock Companies came into existence under the initiative of the firm such as the Calcutta Steam Tug Association (1836), the Bengal Salt Company (1838), the Calcutta Steam Ferry Bridge Company (1839), the Bengal Coal Company (1844), the Bengal Tea Association (1839), and the India General Steam Navigation Company (1844).
