History


On the northern side of Barijhati there was a Neel Kuthi. Neel (indigo) cultivation started in Hooghly district from 1780 A.D. Gradually this type of cultivation spread to other places like Bansberia, Balagarh, Melia, Khanayan, Gopiganj Rajpur, Sitapur and also Chanditala. At the time of the indigo revolt, one Englishman named Mr. Castle[2] had been murdered in 1835 A.D. That place now is familiar in the name of Kuthir Para. The tank used for indigo processing is now popular as Kuthir Pukur at Barijhati. Some relics are still now visible under the water of this tank.[citation needed]
