An introduction to Barrackpore

Barrackpore is part of a larger industrial belt but it also has interesting historical links with the past. In 1772 the East India Company built its first cantonment in the nation at Barrackpore. The place was used for many years as a summer retreat by senior British administrators. In 1857 and the first spark of mutiny flew here. The tree from which Mangal Pandey and Ishwari Pandey, two young sepoys, were hanged is still there. Then came the independence movement and again Barrackpore played an important role.
