Unknown facts of 'Writers Building'

Writers Building

We all know that our country was under British rule for almost 200 years. We have achieved our desired independence through many struggles and bloodshed. But 200 years is not a short time, and for a foreign merchant who later became the ruler, the people of this country and for their own administrative work need to build different buildings later. Today we will look at the identity of one such building, which was built between 1777-1780 and later became known as the Writers' Building.


You would be surprised to know that Thomas Leon, an Englishman who was commissioned to build this building, was a carpenter by profession. The building was originally built for the clerks, where at first the Anglo-Europeans dominated, but later the educated Bengalis began to compete. In fact, the clerks writing with pen was called 'Writer' in English and from there the name of the building originated.


The main part of the building was built over an area of ​​about 37,850 square feet. It was the first 3-storey building to be built in the heart of Calcutta. Although the design of the building was not very popular in the English court at that time, its importance in colonial rule was immense.The architecture was a mixture of Greek-Roman architecture and French architecture. At the top of the building is a statue of Minerva, the goddess of knowledge, war and justice.


However, our Bengalis have another historical value of this building which no one can deny. Yes, you are right on December 6, 1930, the cruel and notorious N S Simpson was shot dead by the 3 dare-devil son of bengal Binoy Basu, Badal Gupta and Dinesh Gupta.The mighty British government was frightened after this incidence.


After independence, the building was renamed as 'Mahakaran' which became the main administrative center of the West Bengal government.The reform phase of Mahakaran started in 2013 which became very necessary. Today, although the people of West Bengal are interested in 'Nilbari or Nabanna' of Howrah to form the government, but the glory of this building built 250 years ago is still immortal.

Bengali Translation

আমরা সকলেই জানি যে আমাদের দেশ প্রায় ২০০ বছর ব্রিটিশ-শাসনাধীন ছিল।অনেক সংগ্রাম ও রক্তের বিনিময়ে আমরা আমাদের কাঙ্ক্ষিত স্বাধীনতা অর্জন করেছি।কিন্তু ২০০ বছর সময়টা নেহাত কম নয়, এবং এক বিদেশী বণিকদের জন্যে যারা পরবর্তীকালে শাসকের ভুমিকায় ছিলেন তাদের কাছে এদেশের মানুষ ও নিজেদের প্রশাসনিক কাজের জন্যে দরকার পরে বিভিন্ন ভবন নির্মাণের।এরকমই এক ভবনের পরিচয় আজ আমরা দেখে নেব,যা গড়ে উঠেছিল ১৭৭৭-১৭৮০ এর মধ্যে যা পরবর্তীকালে 'রাইটার্স বিল্ডিং' নাম পরিচিত হয়।


জানলে অবাক হবেন যে এই ভবন নির্মাণ করতে টমাস লিওন নামক যে ইংরেজকে দায়ীত্ব দেওয়া হয়েছিল,তিনি ছিলেন পেশায় ছুতোরমিস্ত্রি।ভবনটি তৈরী হয়েছিল মূলতঃ করণিকদের জন্যে,যেখানে প্রথমে ইংরেজ-ইউরোপীয়দের দাপট থাকলেও পরবর্তীকালে পাল্লা দিতে থাকে শিক্ষিত বাঙালী।আসলে করণিকদের এই কলম দিয়ে লেখালেখির কাজকে ইংরেজীতে বলা হতো 'রাইটার'।সেখান থেকেই পরবর্তী সময়ে এর নামকরণ হয় 'রাইটার্স বিল্ডিং' ।


ভবনটির মূল অংশ তৈরী হয়েছিল প্রায় ৩৭,৮৫০ বর্গ-ফুট এলাকা জুড়ে।কলকাতার বুকে গড়ে ওঠা এটাই ছিল প্রথম ৩-তলা ভবন।যদিও ভবনটির নকশা সেইসময়ের ইংরেজ মহলে খুব একটা সমাদৃত হয় নি,কিন্তু উপনিবেশ শাসনের ক্ষেত্রে এর গুরুত্ব ছিল অসীম ।যদিও ভবনটির মধ্যে গ্রীক-রোমান স্থাপত্যের সঙ্গে ফরাসী নির্মাণশৈলী মিশে আছে।ভবনটির মাথায় রয়েছে জ্ঞান,যুদ্ধ ও ন্যায়ের দেবী মিনার্ভা মূর্তি।এছাড়াও রয়েছে জিউস,ডিমিটার মূর্তি যা বাণিজ্য ,কৃষির উন্মেষের প্রতীকরূপে মনে করা হয়।


যদিও আমাদের বাঙালীদের কাছে এই ভবনটির অন্য এক ঐতিহাসিক মূল্য আছে যা আমরা কেউ অস্বীকার করতে পারি না।হ্যাঁ,আপনারা ঠিকই ধরেছেন ১৯৩০ সালে, ৮ ডিসেম্বর বাংলার ৩ দামাল ছেলে বিনয় বসু,বাদল গুপ্ত ও দীনেশ গুপ্ত এই ত্রয়ীর গুলিতে সেদিন নিহত হয়েছিলেন কুখ্যাত এন এস সিম্পসন যা প্রবল পরাক্রমী ব্রিটিশ সরকারকে ভীত করে তুলেছিল।


স্বাধীনতার পর এই ভবনটির নাম হয় 'মহাকরণ' যা পশ্চিমবঙ্গ সরকারের মুখ্য প্রশাসনিক কেন্দ্ররূপে পরিণতি পায় ।২০১৩ সালে শুরু হয় মহাকরণের সংস্কারপর্ব যা অতি প্রয়োজনীয় হয়ে পড়েছিল।আজ যদিও সরকার গঠনের জন্যে পশ্চিমবঙ্গবাসী হাওড়ার 'নীলবাড়ি বা নবান্ন ' নিয়ে আগ্রহী ,কিন্তু ২৫০ বছর আগে তৈরী এই ভবনটির গরিমা আজও অমলিন ।

Knot can talk Today I am going to discuss a completely different topic in front of you. we all know what a knot is and its importance in our daily life.we all use it as way to fasten one end of a string or to measure the length of something roughly.But can you imagine that various colorfull knots can reveal an entire civilization.Lets go back for a moment. We are talking about the fifteenth century, when the largest and most modern civilization in America was called the Inka civilization. The Inka Empire was stretched from Ecuador to Chile for about 5,000 kilometers. It was the Inkas who built the city of Machu Picchu, which still stands at the same height as the hills.  The town had a curved road, a stone bridge and a hanging bridge. It was still a wonder how the heavy stones were taken so high at that time. The language they spoked was not in a written form or any font. But they used to express themselves by tying different knots in the thread varying with its size and dista...

Kishor Indukuri an exceptional Let's get acquainted today with someone who, being a highly educated engineer, has engaged himself in a profession that very few can dare to do. But there are some exceptional people who take their lives beyond the traditional path. Kishore Indukuri is a man who quit his job at Intel, a multinational company in far away America, to sell cow's milk on the soil of the country. Kishore Indukuri was born in Hyderabad and spent his childhood there. He later moved to the United States after graduating from Khargpur IIT with a degree in  engineering. From 2005-2011, he worked as a senior process engineer for the company. But can a person who wants to match himself outside of a taboo life ever be held back in exchange for big money? So the Indukuri also came back to the country and he was the first to realize that there is a great shortage of pure cow's milk in our country even today. And milk is not only the diet of children but also the diet of many...
