Question
Who among the following was the founder of
Calcutta?Solution
Job Charnock, the head of the Kasim Bazar factory, chose Sutanuti or Sutanouti (the site of Calcutta) instead of Hooghly for the business center of the British. He is considered the founder of Calcutta. However, in its decision given in May 2003, a division bench of the Calcutta High Court, not considering Job Charnock as the founder of Calcutta, said that Calcutta (Kalikata) existed before the arrival of Job Charnock, and on this basis the establishment of Calcutta ( 24 August 1690) day (Foundation day) also cannot be considered.
