Amjhupi Neelkuthi: Meherpur
Amjhupi Nilkuthi, a well known or for the most part is known as infamous archeological site set up during the English rule, is arranged at Meherpur, Khulna.
At the bank of waterway Kajla, this nilkuthi was worked for indigo development, of late utilized as court office of East India Company.
The kuthi bears declaration of torment and abuse of Kenny, Simpson, James Heel, Fergun Crawford, Warts, Hamilton, and a lot more English rulers.
There is a fantasy with respect to Amjhupi Nilkuthi. It is said that before the skirmish of Plassey, backstabbers directed their last gathering here. Be that as it may, in his chronicled book 'The History of Meherpur', Aminul Islam didn't concur with this reality. It is without a doubt genuine that Amjhupi has a dim past about indigo development. Murder, assault, abducting all sorts of torments are recorded here. In any case, it has nothing to do with the Plassey scheme.
The clash of Plassey occurred on 23rd June 1757. In any case, the first Nilkuthi was set up between the long stretches of 1800-1815 in Bengal. Indigo development and business was first presented here by French pilgrim Louis Bonnaud. In this way, it is very unthinkable for Robert Clive, Mir Jafar, Rai Durlabh, Ghaseti Begum, or some other schemers to design connivances at Amjhupi Nilkuthi which was not set up at that point.
During the freedom war, the ostracize Bangladesh government was framed in the Baidyanath floor under the Amrakanan which is situated close to this fortress. At present, Amjhupi Nilkuthi has become a mainstream archeological site. Turning out to be the observer of all the authentic occasions, two indigo trees are as yet remaining before the kuthi.
