There will be many in the City of Joy celebrating Kolkata’s birthday today. After all, on this day in 1690, British trader Job Charnock landed in Kolkata and he has been regarded by many as the founder of the city. However, whether Job Charnock should be regarded as the ‘Father of Kolkata’ or not is laced in controversy. It is widely known that he bought three villages from the then zamindar Sabarna Roychowdhury and set up an establishment here. As per British records the area that Charnock bought was marshy and unsuitable for living and it was he and other East India Company officials who built a planned city in its place by removing the marshes.
