We visited Serampore on 10th of October, 2021 for a day trip. This suburban town 25 km north of Kolkata has a enchanting history. It was Danish occupied colony and has deep relationship with Denmark, it all started in 1755 when Danish Asiatic Company got permission for settlement here from the then Nawab Alaverdi Khan for the purpose of Business. Unlike their British and French counterpart, these Danish people concentrated only in business and not in any military adventure. However, in 1777, this area was annexed with Denmark under the direct rule of king of Denmark and an Administrative head was introduced. Serampore was known as FrederikNagore after Frederic V, King of Denmark.
Due to suprimacy of Britishers, Denmark king decided to sell Serampore to Britishers in the year 1845.
In the year 1800, Baptist Missionary William Carey came to Serampore, he was a social reformer and established a press, a college and educated local people with western education.
