As we are celebrating our 68th independence day,so today I am going to give information based on this. Independence day celebrate in all parts of country with same ethusiam ,KGP is also not different  from rest of the country.Here Independence day maily celebrate by school,college ,central and state Govt. offices and local club. When I was in school in morning  I was going to my school in white dress and with some flowers.Most of time I was participate in speech function organized by our school .Function mostly started by 9 or 9.30A.M. with flag hosting by our principal or any South Eastern Railway officer .After the flag hosting they gave a small speech and then our principal gave speech on freedom fighter of our country.In school level all those speech were really interesting but in college level I never interested to hear that speech.Some time speech competition arrange by school committee and some years we were represent our school in speech competition in other school.

We were return back to home near 10.30 or 11A.M. At the end we were getting cholate.In our returning way to home We also collect toffy/cholate from local club celebration .Most interesting decoration was in kumarpara area. other decoration of this local club same as like other clubs from town but the most interesting part was they place small toys ,robot and toy guns in display .All the day patriotic songs played in loudspeaker. In television patriotic theme based movies telecast whole day.Kranti and Saheed was definitely telecast in this day by Durdarsh and lateron satellite channeltelecast the same.

Things were changed when I was in college,I was feel same enthu for our independence but not interested to went my college in independence day celebration.I was watching documentary on discovery or patriotic movies on TV.One big change ,which I realize on that time was that patriotic songs played in loudspeaker till 12p.m. and than filmi and bolllywood songs played.

My article was not finish, if I was not discussing about the Anglo Indian community of this area.

Midnapur was definitely played a crucial role in Indian freedom movement,but Kharagpur town area was maily calm and cool ,people basically simple and indulge in there day to day activity so there was no big revolt happen in this railwaytown.

Kharagpur was one of the main British commercial place. Due to Kharagpur location and connectivity


British officer bunglow in Bunglowside
 

Kharagpur had some unique feature .Due to one of the important train root junction ,British started Bengal Nagpur Railway establish in 1904.Most of upperleve staff were British  so, a small british colony made for them in south side of the Kharagpur.This area well known as Bunglow side lateron. They built there club house ,which is now turn into officer club . They built school for there children,Churches .The architechture and planned development of this area show that this area was part of any european country.Today  due to some new building some changes come in this area but still western architechture available in old Bunglows. Anglo  Indian community of Kharagpur were very friendly .I didin’t got any information about any British atrocity by anyone .I heard about anglo Indian and colonial people lives from my late grand father.You can get the more information about that time from my previous post of Kharagpur 1940 back.Most of the anlo  people returned to Britain after 1947 and some were not interested to went back as they accept Kharagpur as their home.But number of anglo Indian community is very small and most of them lived in Hijli .
