Explanation:

In 1690, an English merchant named Job Charnock arranged to lease three villages (named Kolikata, Gobindapur, and Sutanuti) by the river Hugli in order to set up a trading post.

Raja Rammohun Roy’s attempts to reform society, religion and the status of women can be taken as the starting point of nineteenth century social reform in Bengal. A decade before establishing the Brahmo Samaj in 1828, Roy undertook the campaign against “sati” which was the first women’s issue to receive public attention.

1851: Tea industry began in India.

1901: Assam Labour and Emigration Bill

1914: The All-India Muslim Ladies Conference (Anjuman-E-Khawatn-E-Islam) was founded.
