History Of Basirhat
Basirhat has a long history of farmer's movement like
'Tebhaga Andolan'. Freedom fighter Dinesh Chandra Majumder was born
here in 1907. There is a lot of controversy and debate regarding the
naming of "Basirhat". But all explanations are satisfying and are
causally related in some or other way. It implies that if we examine the
sources then it will reflect the one or other socio-economic dimensions
of the "Basirhat" region.
The sources which are considered till now behind the naming of Basirhat are as follows:
Bahurhat - market for various items.
Banserhat - market for buying and selling bamboos.
Bastirhat - low land market
According to Dr. Sukumar Sen, Basirhat is named after
a person named 'Basi'. Referring to Bengali Dictionary, the word Basi
means-Indriya Basban, Jitendriya, Apradhin, Sadhin, Swatantra. From this
it may be concluded that Basirhat was an independent tax-free business
centre. Like present day's Free Business Centres.
Basirhat is named after a person named Basir Muhammad
or Basir Khan. In spite of this if we consider Basir Khan's market then
it should be around medieval period. But from the records it is clear
that Muslim intrusion didn't take place before 1200 B.C. Basirhat's Sahi
Masjid was constructed in 1466 B.C.

Sri. Subhas Chandra Kundu
February 17, 2008 marked the beginning
of a new chapter in the diary of 'Eso Kichhu Kori'. A new
journey too, as we embarked to celebrate EKK's belated
birthday on 15th February in search of warmth
looking into the corridors of a monument.
Sri Subhash Chandra Kundu is such a
person who is more of a saint than any conventional teacher.
A teacher with an indomitable passion for education and only
education, he himself is an institution. Education is
nothing but an arduous practice to him.
A man of extreme caliber, Sri Subhash
Chandra Kundu knows no stopping. To every student
irrespective of age of Basirhat (North 24 Parganas) and
nearby areas, 'Sir' is akin to demi-god and more of a parent
than their real parents. And to the general people, he is a
living legend. The magnificent physics laboratory set up at
his home entirely by himself speaks volumes for him.
His care, dedication, diligence and
determination are a lesson for lives to come. In this
booming world of increasing glamour & glitz and diminishing
values & ethics, Sri Subhash Chandra Kundu stands tall. Life
challenged him with all its usual tricks & plays and he
could do only one thing – challenge it back!!! And he
emerged victorious to make an ideal of a lifetime.We could
not have found a better recipient for EKK's first 'Borenyo
Somman'08'.
We reached his residence at Basirhat
just to spend some time with this icon. We tried to keep the
program non-glamorous and simple in every sense, as we never
wished to let him feel uncomfortable.
The program was intended to be short
yet compact as we wished not to kill much of his time too.
EKK's theme song - 'Aguner Poroshmoni'
was the opening song of the program. At the beginning, our
beloved 'Sir' was greeted with a bouquet by Smt. Tania De
(Member, EKK). Then Smt. Sushmita Ray imparted him with a
shawl.Smt. Abira Ghosh (Secretary, EKK) followed next to
confer the memento to him.Sri Tilak Gupta (Joint Secretary,
EKK) bestowed Sir with the address of honour (Maanpotro) and
read it to the audience.
