Old Dumdum Road is still behind the history


DUMDUM
Does anyone know how old the mosque is at Nagerbazar Mora in South Damdam Pur area? History says, the mosque that survived was of the Mughal period. Sirajuddaula was also traveling there. But that information is asleep in the dark.

In this way, the history of Damdam, a city even older than Kolkata, has gone to sleep forever. But there is a lot of storytelling to wear in Damdam. Some time before the Battle of Palashi. East India Company Officer Robert Clive was marching along the army towards Jessore Road towards Kolkata. When he reached Damdam, he saw two houses on the left side of the road. Within a few days, Clive's troops occupied the two houses. Named one of the Clive House. Clive also renovated the old house.

The other house was a few hundred meters away. Which Nawab Alibardi Khan created. Clive also renovated the house. The name was 'Fairy House'. Clive's wife, angry at the groom or started living there. Now, of course, that house doesn't exist. During the left period, the house was replaced by an aluminum factory. A few years ago a huge residence was built there digging graves of history.

Eighteen years ago, archaeological surveys of India existed in excavation, spreading to Dumdum, which was older than the Mughal period. Before it all came to an end, it was destroyed by the historic building of Damdum, the monastery.

The first clerical building of the city or the Writers' Building was built in the Dumdum area. The Writers' building in the Damdam-Kolkata area built during the company's tenure has now been demolished. The film, based on Rabindranath Tagore's 'Malidan' story, was shot at the Taj Mahal studio in Nagerbazar. It is heard that Rabindranath himself went to see the shooting. The studio no longer exists. No one even knows his old address.

Experts say that sometimes the history of the unconscious is important to save. 'Old Damdam Road' is probably one such road. The road from Northern Avenue down to the Seven Tanks stop at the current Damdam Road, which stretches up to Barrackpore Trunk Road, was built during the Mughal period. Most people do not know.

According to Drumdum researcher Gaur Mouliik, the road was identified as 'Old Dumdum Road' on maps in the year1830 and 1870 . It is likely that the road is marked as 'Old Damdam Road' for the last time on the map of in the year 1836 . The road covered by the big trees is now known as Umakant Sen Lane. In the words of Gauravabur, Clive decided that the old paved road would be replaced by a straight and wide road. Later, the new Damdam Road was built by Thomas Dean Pierce.

The ancient Damdam still survives on the shoulder of history, such as the Ordinance Factory, Kashipur Gun and Shell Factory, a few churches, Thomas Dean Pierce's mausoleum in Gorabazar, the military barracks (now the Central Jail), the Mosque at Nagerbazar.
Author Amit Chowdhury has been campaigning for the protection of heritage in Kolkata for a long time. His statement regarding Damdam, "The laws regarding heritage protection in this state are not clear. The Heritage Committee also has no headaches. There will be a movement for a new law. Understand, heritage does not mean protecting one or two homes, but maintaining one time. This is the situation in Dumdum today because of that. "
