Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calcutta, the centre of British imperial power in India, figures in scholarship as the locus of colonialism and the hotbed of anti-colonial nationalist movements. Yet, historians have largely ignored how the city shaped these movements. A Hygienic City-Nation is the first academic work that examines everyday urban formations in the colonial city that informed the broad global forces of imperialism, nationalism, and urbanism, and were, in turn, shaped by them. Drawing on previously unexplored archives of the Calcutta Improvement Trust and neighbourhood clubs, the author uncovers hidden stories of the city at the everyday level of neighbourhoods or paras, where kinship-like ties, caste, religion, and ethnicity constituted new urban modernity. Ghosh focuses on an emergent discourse on Hindu spatial hygiene that powered nationalist pedagogic efforts to train city dwellers in conduct fit for the city-nation. In such pedagogic efforts, upper-caste Bengalis were pitted against the lower-caste working poor and featured as ideal inhabitants of the city: the citizen.

Excerpt: ...the under-mentioned places; and notwithstanding the acquisitions which have since taken place, is continued under the same arrangement: --1. Coast of Malabar, which includes the whole of the western side of the Peninsula. 2. Coast of Coromandel, which includes the whole of the eastern coast. 3. Island of Ceylon. 4. Coast of Sumatra. V. That to and from the under-mentioned places comprehended in 1801, under the head of Foreign Asia; and though some of the places have since heen added to the British possessions the same arrangement is continued. Under the head of various places are comprehended the Maldive and Laccadive Islands, Mozambique, and other ports on the east coast of Africa, New South Wales, Cape of Good Hope, St. Helena, &c. The whole of the commerce from port to port in India, commonly called the country trade, is in the hands of individuals, the East India Company never interfering; and from the various statements, it will be seen that there is no place of commercial note from the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope, to which a trade is not driven by the British or native merchants resident in the Company's territories, except Japan, to which country the East India Company, in the infancy of their establishment, made several unsuccessful attempts to establish a trade. For a long period, all European nations, except the Dutch, have been forbidden visiting Japan; notwithstanding which a ship has recently been sent from Calcutta, but was unable to obtain permission to trade. Until the passing of the Act in the year 1793, the East India Company had almost a monopoly of trade between India and China. No private person was permitted to trade on his own account. If any person or body of persons without the express permission of the...

TWENTIETH CENTURY CALCUTTA. Calcutta, the chief city of Bengal, the seat of the Supreme Government, and the Metropolis of India, stands in Lat. 22 33' N., and Long. 88 23' E. It is situated about 100 miles from the sea on the left bank of the western branch of the Ganges, called by Europeans the Hooghly and by the people of the country, who reverence it as a holy stream, "Mother Ganges" or the Bhagiratti. The main stream of the Ganges has, as a matter of fact, long since deserted this part of its delta, and now reaches the sea through the Hurringotta and the Megna, far to the eastward. But according to native tradition, the Hooghly was once the sacred stream, and an old temple which, till a few years ago, stood near the tank to the south of the Aliporc Jail, and was believed to be 600 years old, is said to have been built on the bank of the Ganges, which at that time followed the line of Tolly's Nullah past Kalighat. The width of the Hooghly at Armenian Ghat is about 600 yards, but at other parts it widens to nearly a mile. Calcutta occupies a space along the bank of the river of about 4 miles, estimated from Chitpore on the north, to Kidderpore on the south, and with an average width of a mile and a half from east to west, that is, from the river bank to the Circular Road, which forms the eastern boundary. The area may be put at seven square miles, and the length of roads in the town is about 120 miles. The ground on which Calcutta is built is a part of the alluvial deposits of the Gangetic delta, and is elevated not more than 16 or 18 feet above the mean sea level. Excavations that have been made for tanks and foundations shew that to a depth of about 40 feet the surface formation is an alternation...
