During the period when India was under British colonial rule, particularly during the 19th and early 20th centuries, there was significant emigration from Calcutta (now Kolkata) to various parts of the British Empire. This emigration had several key reasons:1. **Indentured Labor**: One of the major forms of emigration from Calcutta was indentured labor migration. British authorities recruited Indian laborers, often from Calcutta and other parts of Bengal, to work on plantations in various British colonies, such as the Caribbean (Trinidad, Guyana, Jamaica), Fiji, Mauritius, and South Africa. These laborers were often subjected to harsh working conditions and were indentured under contracts, but their migration contributed to the economic development of these colonies.2. **Trade and Commerce**: Calcutta was a major center of trade and commerce during the British colonial period. This led to the migration of Indian traders, merchants, and professionals to various British colonial outposts, including British Africa and Southeast Asia, to engage in business activities and contribute to the colonial economy.3. **Administrative and Government Officials**: The British Raj had its administrative and government apparatus in Calcutta. British officials and civil servants, as well as Indian officials, were often transferred from Calcutta to other parts of the British Empire to serve in various administrative roles. This led to emigration from Calcutta to regions where the British had established colonial rule.4. **Education and Academia**: Calcutta was home to prestigious educational institutions, and many students from other parts of the British Empire, especially Southeast Asia, came to Calcutta for higher education. After completing their studies, some chose to remain in Calcutta, while others returned to their home countries, often contributing to the fields of education and academia.5. **Missionaries and Religious Migration**: Missionaries and religious workers from Calcutta often emigrated to other parts of the British Empire to spread their faith or engage in social and religious work.Emigration from Calcutta during the British colonial period was diverse, with people from different backgrounds and professions leaving the city for various reasons. This migration played a crucial role in shaping the cultural, economic, and social landscapes of the British Empire and its colonies. Free eBay listing template designed by © dewiso.com.
