==History==
Ariadaha-[[Dakshineswar]] situated close to [[North Kolkata]] carries a glorious past in the Bengal Renaissance that still remains largely unacknowledged in the mainstream historical accounts. Once it was under the jurisdiction of [[Kolkata District|Calcutta (Kolkata) District]]. Within [[24 Parganas]], [[Kolkata]] was one of the Parganas and Ariadaha-Dakshineswar was under it.
Like other ancient parts of Rarh Banga (adivision of ancient [[South Bengal]]) this place was full of the ancient inhabitants of Bengal like the Hanri, Dome, Nishad, Kahar who
originated from the Proto-Australoids according to [[Anthropology]]. Other casts like the [[Brahmin|Brahmans]], [[Kayastha|Kayesthas]] and the [[Vaidya]]s etc. entered later. However, with the tide of time a
mixed culture grows and inherited by the peoples of this region though there were two groups of people were in the frontline of the cultural scenario. One was liberal and other was certainly conservative. The conservatives constituted the most powerful sections of society with the liberals lagging behind as their opposition could hardly cause flutter in the [[Orthodoxy|orthodox]] socio-cultural matrix. The scenario did not show any
significant change even after the introduction of colonial British education and culture in this region as happened in the other parts of [[History of Kolkata|old Calcutta]]. During the last half of 15th century, from almost about 1690 A.D., [[Kolkata]] began to reorient itself towards colonial culture under the leadership and colonial tutelage of [[Job Charnock|Job Charnak]]. But little did change in the region of Ariadaha-Dakshineswar—the old society beset with inhuman superstitious practices. Ariadaha-Dakshineswar as a part of old Calcutta as it witnessed a cultural interface between both conservative and liberal forces. From the medieval period, highly educated and economically enriched families began to enter this region (Ariadaha-Dakshineswar), effecting significant changes in the socio-economic patterns.

Ariadaha-Dakshineswar was primarily the motherland of highly educated middle class. One of the [[janapada]]s (a big unit of 20 or more villages in ancient India) of Calcutta could not become a big city and that was Dakshineswar (Sen: 2004). Famous Historian [[Claude Martin|Martin]] mentioned Dakshineswar as the Capital of Bengal (Mullick: 1403, Bengali Year). The cultural sphere of Ariadaha-Dakshineswar was patronized and encouraged by the Maharajas the regional rulers of [[Krishnanagar, Nadia|Krishnanagar]] of [[Nadia district|Nadia]]. The educated liberals were in the leading part of the protest movement by the [[Vaishnavism|Vaishnavas]], [[Shaivism|Shaivas]] and [[Shaktism|Shaktas]] against the [[Brahmin|Brahmanism]]. Thus a new line of thought spread across this area. One of the opinions regarding the origin of the name of
Calcutta was the word Kalikhetra and it denotes the place from [[Kalighat]] to Dakshineswar (Dey: 1989).
