  • The Most Lasting Impact of the Imperial Rule in the Jalpaiguri District
    164 CHAPTER 111 THE BRITISH COLONIAL AUTHORITY AND ITS PENETRATION IN THE CAPITAL MARKET IN THE NORTHERN PART OF BENGAL The most lasting impact of the imperial rule in the Jalpaiguri District especially in the Western Dooars was the commercialisation of agriculture, and this process of commercialisation made an impact not only on the economy of West Bengal but also on society as well. J.A. Milligan during his settlement operations in the Jalpaiguri District in 1906-1916 was not im.pressed about the state of agriculture in the Jalpaiguri region. He ascribed the backward state of agriculture to the primitive mentality of the cultivators and the use of backdated agricultural implements by the cultivators. Despite this allegation he gave a list of cash crops which were grown in the Western Duars. He stated, "In places excellent tobacco is grown, notably in Falakata tehsil and in Patgram; mustard grown a good deal in the Duars; sugarcane in Baikunthapur and Boda to a small extent very little in the Duars". J.F. Grunning explained the reason behind the cultivation of varieties of crops in the region due to variation in rainfall in the Jalpaiguri district. He said "The annual rainfall varies greatly in different parts of the district ranging from 70 inches in Debiganj in the Boda Pargana to 130 inches at Jalpaiguri in the regulation part of the district, while in the Western Duars, close to the hills, it exceeds 200 inches per annum. In these circumstances it is not possible to treat the district as a whole and give one account of agriculture which will apply to all parts of it".^ Due to changes in the global market regarding consumer commodity structure suitable commercialisation at crops appeared to be profitable to colonial economy than continuation of traditional agricultural activities.

  • Chapter 2 Geo-Historical Profile of North Bengal
    Chapter 2 Geo-Historical Profile of North Bengal “North of the main branch of the Ganges, now known as Padma and west of the Brahmapurta lies the extensive region” of North Bengal “which embraces the modern Rajshahi Division and the state of Cooch Behar.” 1 The present-day taxonomic geography of North Bengal is not only a geographical expression but a historical development of a geo-historical concept which came to being (as North Bengal) in a process of transition in different forms like Poundra or Poundrabardhan, Gouda, Varendra, Uttariya, Uttardesa, Kamtabihar. Professor Ananda Gopal 14 Ghosh showed the process of terminological transition of North Bengal in his monumental work “Uttarbanga Namer Sandhane”2 In the early phase of colonial rule the term ‘Northern Bengal’ was used geographically, which later on changed into ‘North Bengal’. However, during the middle phase of colonial rule it took intellectual conception. During post-colonial or post- independent phase it came to be used as a geo-cultural entity. The territorial geography which hovered in our sight with the name of ‘North Bengal’ is the six districts of northern part of our present-day West Bengal such as Malda, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, N. Dinajpur, S. Dinajpur and Cooch Behar. But as the period of my discussion is up to 1991 and till then instead of North and South Dinajpur, West Dinajpur was there for which I shall use West Dinajpur. It may be mentioned here that ‘Darjeeling’ and ‘Jalpaiguri’ as districts were not in existence during pre-British period in Bengal, as they were created during British rule in a transitional politico-administrative process of the period.

  • Land Tenure and Forest Conservation in the Dooars of the Eastern Himalaya Govinda Choudhury*
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Land Tenure and Forest Conservation in the Dooars of the Eastern Himalaya Govinda Choudhury* Abstract: Reservation of forest land led to the loss of community rights and impoverishment of forest communities in the Dooars of Eastern Himalaya. The Forest Rights Act 2006 is the first piece of legislation meant to undo the historical injustice done to forest communities. However, the manner in which the Forest Rights Act has been implemented raises questions about its role in protecting the livelihood security of forest dwellers. In the Dooars of Jalpaiguri, an argument made for denying community rights is that these forests were reserved from waste land and hence no prior community forest rights existed. This paper argues that a vibrant forest community existed prior to acquisition of these forests, and that “reserving from waste” is a colonial construct. In the Himalayan region, the livelihood needs of forest communities cannot be met from agriculture alone, but also require access to forest commons. Extraction of natural resources may be unsustainable if forests are made an open access resource. We argue that recognition of community property rights in forests can ensure conservation of the resource and also enhance livelihood security among the poor. Keywords: Land rights, property rights, conservation, Forest Rights Act 2006, Dooars, Himalaya, agrarian relations in West Bengal Introduction The focus of this paper is on land tenure and community forest rights of forest- dwelling tribal communities in the forests of Jalpaiguri Dooars in Eastern India, and their implications for forest conservation in the region. The Dooars refer to the narrow stretch of densely forested land along the Indo- Bhutan border.

A large section of them possessed a substantial amount of land commonly known as Jotedars, Zamindars. Unfortunately, a very small section belonged to this landlord class showed much interest in the field of tea plantation industry in spite of having land on a large degree. Interesting to say, other Indians had to set up a large number of tea estates on the land owned by the Rajbangsi landlord once. Instead of assuming initiative in this economic field the Rajbangsi jotedars and other affluent personalities of the same community remained aloof them from the tea plantation industry. This factor actually drew me to make a study in this field of the economic history of colonial Bengal. Keywords: rajbangsi, entrepreneurship, tea plantation industry, jotedar, terai – dooars.

Tapas K Roy ChaudJ^ry 01.01.2005 Preface The history of the Jalpaiguri District is a relatively neglected field of research investigation. Whatever writings have been done so far have been either reiteration of the position held by the official chronicler employed by the local chieftains or the positions held by the British officials. Both of them do not qualify for any guidance for contemporary policy decisions after serious academic scrutiny. Besides, they do not appear to be tenable in many areas in whatever micro-study we have already done.

  • 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).
