  • Fazlul Huq and Bengal Politics in the Years Before the Second Partition of Bengal (1947)
    6 Fazlul Huq and Bengal Politics in the years before the Second Partition of Bengal (1947) On 24 April 1943, H.E. the Governor Sir John Herbert with the concurrence of the Viceroy, issued a proclamation by which he revoked the provision of Section 93 and invited the leader of the Muslim League Assembly Party, Khwaja Sir Nazimuddin to form a new ministry. The aspirant Nazimuddin who made constant effort to collect support in order to form a new ministry, ultimately managed to have the support of 140 members in the Bengal Assembly (consisting of 250 membrs). On the other hand, the Opposition (led by Fazlul Huq) had 108 members. Following the dismissal of the Second Huq Ministry, a large number of Muslim M.L.A.s thought it expedient to cross the floor and join the League because of Governor‟s inclination towards Nazimuddin whom he invited to form a new ministry. As they flocked towards the League, the strength of the League Parliamentary Party rose from 40 to 79. Abul Mansur Ahmed, an eminent journalist of those times, narrated this trend in Muslim politics in his own fashion that „everyone had formed the impression that the political character of the Muslim Legislators was such that whoever formed a ministry the majority would join him‟1 which could be applicable to many of the Hindu members of the House as well. Nazimuddin got full support of the European Group consisting of 25 members in the Assembly. Besides, he had been able to win the confidence of the Anglo-Indians and a section of the Scheduled Caste and a few other members of the Assembly.

  • City Disaster Management Plan of Kolkata
    CITY DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN OF KOLKATA 2020 KOLKATA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION 5, S.N. BANERJEE ROAD, KOLKATA - 13 Foreword Cities are important centres of modern societies that will continue to gain in importance in the future. Today, more than half the world’s population lives in urban areas. The high density and interdependence of urban lifestyles and work, and the growing dependence on increasingly complex infrastructure systems and services, are making cities more vulnerable to a variety of hazards — natural and man-made. These can be the result of technological, natural or social causes. The populous City of Kolkata is situated in the multi-hazard prone southern part of the state of West Bengal which has considerable risk of damage/loss of lives and property due to natural hazards like Cyclone, Earthquake and Flood even if we keep aside the threats due to human induced hazards as Fire, Accidents, Industrial & Chemical hazards etc. To minimize the losses due to disasters and to have a disaster resilient society, we must have clear understanding in regard to the type and strength of each of the probable threats which may cause disasters of medium or large scale in the city. The perception about disaster and its management has undergone a change following the enactment of the Disaster Management Act, 2005. The definition of disaster is now all encompassing that includes not only the events emerging from natural and man-made causes, but even those events which are caused by accident or negligence. There was a long felt need to capture information about all such events occurring across the sectors and efforts made to mitigate them in the city and to collate them at one place in a global perspective.

  • Congress an Epic Canto National Vice President, Intuc
    R. CHANDRASEKHARAN CONGRESS AN EPIC CANTO NATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT, INTUC According to historians Indian History starts with Dravidian culture, contains the origin of Dravida, Arya, Vedic, Upanishath period. It is also the history of Budha - Jaina religion, Arab - Europen Migration and their invade and also at the end freedom struggle. This the attainment of free India. India was under various empires, Kingdom and lords. The battle and wars between these forces, lead the life of the common people in a very miserable and pathetic conditions. In 1498 when Vasco da Gama a Portuguese explorer landed at Kozhikode, Kerala, the invade of Europans started and following to Portuguese, Duch, French and British People reached for trade and business of spices. In the Trade and Business, they fought each other even with modern weapons and established each one of them the business in a big way. Economically they looted the Indian People in business and trades. Most of the empires, kings and lords were in the habit of luxurious lives as the Europans showed the way and taught. It is very unbelievable today that a private company called East India Company ruled our great nation for a century after the battle of Plassy in Bengal. Due to the atrocity of East India Company, the mutiny of Sipoy in 1857 lead the way for British rule in India. Following the company rule, another centurian British rule for 90 years existed in India that was very inhuman in nature and generation to generation the people were exploited. They treated the people as slaves and buggers.

  • Kolkata...The City Of
    Kolkata .... the city of Joy Kolkata- The Capital city, popularly known as The 'City of Joy'. The city is dipped in history, art & culture, sports and socio-cultural activities. This was the erstwhile capital of the British Raj, and thus has architectural gems strewn all around. The city has its appeal for all visitors, with a medley of interest. From architectural wonders to swanky malls, from religious places to centres for performing arts, from historical colleges & universities to state-of-the-art stadiums. Attractions & Tours Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta in English, is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal and is located in eastern India on the east bank of the River Hooghly. The city was a colonial city developed by the British East India Company and then by the British Empire. Kolkata was the capital of the British Indian empire until 1911 when the capital was relocated to Delhi. Kolkata grew rapidly in the 19th century to become the second city of the British Empire. This was accompanied by the development of a culture that fused European philosophies with Indian tradition. During the British colonial era from 1700 to 1912 Kolkata was the capital of British India. Kolkata witnessed a spate of frenzied construction activity in the early 1850s by several British companies. The construction was largely influenced by the conscious intermingling of Neo-Gothic, Baroque, Neo- Classical, and Oriental designs. Unlike many north Indian cities, whose construction stresses minimalism, much of the layout of the architectural variety in Kolkata owes its origins from European styles and tastes imported mainly by the British, and lesser extent of the Portuguese and French.
