| Résumé : |
Though small in extent, Chandernagore is articulate in its tradition. Chandernagore is a separate self-fulfilling chapter in the history of alien rule in India. When the whole of Bengal was under the English rule as a province of the British administered India, Chandernagore being part of it created an independent tradition under the French rule. So from the political or administrative point of view this town of Bengal was an alien land to the Bengalees. Chandernagore has developed and become total of its own even with its small area because of its separate identity; again, being an inseparable part of Bengal in natural outline, its inner nexus with Bengal is inseparable in art, literature, in all respects.
It is not that there was some town named Chandernagore on the western side of the Bhagirathi from very ancient times. No trace of this name could be found before the arrival of the French. As far as is known, the first reference to the name of Chandernagore could be found in a letter written to the then Director, French East India Company, and signed by Martin, Deslandes and Pe'le'e on November 21, 1696. It can be taken for certain from the information about this place occurring in the ancient texts that this city named Chandernagore grew up during the French regime covering mainly these three villages - Borokishanpur, Khalisani and Gondalpara just as the city of Calcutta grew under the British rule with Sutanuti, Calcutta and Govindapur. Apart from the three main villages certain other villages like Sabinara, Chaknasirabad etc were possibly included in Chandernagore. |
