Just as the Portuguese settled in Goa, the Jews in Cochin and the Parsis in Bombay, the Armenians had rendered a special fragrance in Calcutta. Being the best of commercial minds, the Armenians came to India as merchants and prevailed on Eastern India’s commerce long before the British. Their commercial acumen won them great dividends in the Bengali trade, which they linked with the world trade network. They loved Bengal in their own way and made Calcutta their special home forever.
The author has inked the five-century-old stories of the Armenians including the golden period of Indian foreign trade in the present work. Armenians had settled in different parts of India. Combined with boundless energy, they raised themselves to the stiff ladder of fame. They shined from the early Mughal period till the British periods as able administrators, clever diplomats, military commanders, skilled artisans, renowned poets, eminent lawyers, Judges, surgeons and merchants. Present work has scripted all these roles the Armenians adopted and touched every Indian heart.
Maintaining social culture was an integral part of their life. Socially they remained closely knitted. Culturally they were strictly abided by Christianity. They always made their own beautiful Churches. Mortal remains of many great Armenian personalities lay buried in the Church graveyards of Saidabad, Chinsura, Chandannagore, Calcutta and many other places. Many of their monuments stand today as silent witnesses of the once vibrant commercial India, and many of their beautiful Churches stand forgotten today. The Forgotten Church – Remembering Armenians of Saidabad is centered on one such Church, which was built at Saidabad and has since been forgotten.

Murshidabad played a significant role through the 17th and 18th century, which turned the fate of the Indian history— however much of it has been fading away fast. Reconnecting people with social changes that accompanied the Mughal rule there is chosen as the subject matter of this work. It is about the governance of the Mughals, which was founded by a few great emperors through their administrative acumen and foresights. They, through pragmatic methods, resolved the complex socio-political need of a vast country like India. This distinct approach made them unique rulers to reign for a relatively longer period and build the country that we are living in today.
Mughals occupied Bengal in 1574 AD and directly governed till 1717 AD when Murshidabad became the capital. It was then that Bengal got her new identity termed ‘Nawabat’ in which Nawab was the independent ruler of the Mughal Subah. Their sozerinity was merely on paper—this was made possible by a hero named Muhammad Hadi, a Mughal officer who rose from the post of a Diwan to become the first Nawab of three Mughal Subahs. Mughal’s Murshidabad Connection is about his passage into Mughal history.
