Amjhupi Nilkuthi in Meherpur — A Symbol of Exploitation and Struggle in Bengal II Oct 13, 2025

Описание: Amjhupi Nilkuthi in Meherpur stands as a powerful reminder of Bengal’s painful past — a relic of the indigo era when British colonial rulers exploited the farmers of Bengal. Built in the early 1800s, this indigo factory witnessed untold suffering, resistance, and the spirit of defiance that fueled Bengal’s struggle for freedom.

Once home to British officials who profited from the blood and labor of local people, the Nilkuthi now survives as a protected heritage site under the Department of Archaeology. Each year, a sapling of the indigo plant is planted beside it — symbolizing remembrance and resilience.

From its colonial origins to its modern-day restoration efforts, Amjhupi Nilkuthi tells the story of exploitation, endurance, and the unbreakable will of Bengal’s people.
Join us as we explore this historic landmark — a silent witness to both oppression and courage.
