Mirganj Nilkuthi

       

District  :   Faridpur
Upazila  :   Alfadanga

The British person's name in the history of indigo cultivation during the British period is much more known as Dunlop. The indigenous torture of farmers for blue cultivation was also called as 'Blue Blood of the Peasants'. Mirganj Nilkuthi has a history of the indigo dragon and the story of his torture. Under this Nilkuthi there were many small Nilkuthis. But the original blue market was surrounded by this Nilkuthi. A room of red-colored building (Mirganj Nilkuthi) was used for the oppression of non-farming farmers in blue cultivation. Although the British got huge profits in the blue business, the peasants received only a small part of it. Growing insignificance of the indigenous value of the indigo and growing oppression of the peasants once began in the peasant revolt. Which is known in history as the Blue Revolt. In 1838 Dunlop and his forces were defeated in the bloody clashes of the farmers with the indigo planters and fled from the region. When Dunlop died in 1255 BS, he was buried beside Mirganj Nilkuthi. The grave of Englishman Dunlop is still there. If you want to see the historic Mirganj Nilkuthi, you will have to go to Mirganj in Alfadanga upazila of Faridpur.
