Jorasanko is a neighbourhood of North Kolkata, in Kolkata district, West Bengal, India. It is so called because of the two (jora) wooden or bamboo bridges (sanko) that spanned a small stream at this point.

History[edit]

Apart from the distinguished seat of the Tagore family, traditionally known as the Jorasanko Thakur Bari, it was also home of the Singhas (including Kaliprasanna Singha), the Pals (including Krishnadas Pal), and the families of Dewan Banarasi Ghosh, Gokul Chandra Daw, Narsingha Chandra Daw, Prafulla Chandra Gain, and Chandramohan Chatterji. "The area thus became the cradle of Bengal Renaissance."^[1] It was earlier known as Mechuabazar.^[2]

The earliest list of thanas (police stations) in Kolkata was prepared in 1785 for both police and municipal administration. Jorasanko was one of the 31 thanas then recorded.^[1]

Amongst the institutions in Jorasanko are – Adi Brahmo Samaj, the Jorasanko Bharati Natya Samaj, the Kalikata Haribhakti Pradayani Sabha, the Minerva Library and Oriental Seminary.^[1] The Oriental Seminary, founded in 1829, was one of the earliest privately-run, modern educational institutions in Kolkata. It was open to middle and lower middle-class Hindu boys only.^[3]

Rabindra Bharati University, the third university in Kolkata, was set up in 1962 in the Tagore family's house at Jorasanko, primarily as a centre for music and fine arts, but extended subsequently to arts and humanities.^[4]

In 1888, one of the 25 newly organized police section houses was located in Jorasanko.^[5]

Jorasanko was historically an important centre of the shell industry in Kolkata, but it has been on the decline in recent years.^[6]^[7]

Rabindra Sarani[edit]

Jorasanko is located on Rabindra Sarani (earlier Chitpore Road).^[8] Some people refer to the entire stretch through which Chitpore Road ran as Chitpore or Chitpur; that also includes Jorasanko.

Theatre[edit]

A pair of theatres, both named Jorasanko Natyashala, were established in Jorasanko by the Bengalis in the 1800s. The first only lasted for a single play, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, which was staged on 3 May 1854.^[9]

The second was established in the home of Ganendranath Tagore in 1865. The first significant play staged there was Krishnakumari, written by Bengali playwright Michael Madhusudan Dutta. Playwright Jyotirindranath Tagore acted in the production.^[10] When the theatre was first established, female roles were played by men, although this practice gradually died out.^[2] Finding a dearth of Bengali-language plays to stage, Ganendranath held a contest to promote Bengali playwrights. He offered a prize of 200 rupees (then a large sum) to the winner, and paid for the printing of 1000 copies. Nabanatak by Ramnarayan Tarkaratna won the first prize.^[11]^[12]

 ==Rabindra Sarani==
-Jorasanko is located on Rabindra Sarani (earlier Chitpore Road.) "The great thoroughfare, which commencing in the extreme south, assumes the various names of Russa Road, Chowringhee Road, Bentick Street, Chitpore Road, and Barrackpore Trunk Road, forms a continuation of the Dum Dum Road and was the old line of communication between Morshedabad and Kalighat. It is said to occupy the site of the old road made by the [[Sabarna Roy Choudhury]]s, the old zemindars of Calcutta, from [[Barisha, India|Barisha]], where the junior branch resided, to [[Halisahar]], beyond [[Barrackpore]], which was the seat of the senior branch." <ref>Cotton, H.E.A., ''Calcutta Old and New'', first published 1909, revised edition 1980, p 283, General Printers and Publishers Pvt Ltd.</ref> Some people refer to the entire stretch through which Chitpore Road ran as [[Chitpur|Chitpore or Chitpur]]. That includes Jorasanko too.

-There were two Jorasanko Natyashalas. The earlier one was organised by Peary Mohan Bose at his house on Banarasi Ghose Street, in Jorasanko.

-[[Ganendranath Tagore]] established the second Jorasanko Natyasala, a home theatre, in 1865 and staged ''Krishnakumari'' written by [[Michael Madhusudan Dutta]] that year itself.

-As there were few good plays in Bengali, which could be taken up for staging, Ganendranath announced a prize for writing plays. ''Nabanatak'' written by Ramnarayan Tarkaratna won the first prize. He awarded the playwright [[Rupees]] two hundred (a large sum in those days) and promised to bear the cost of printing a thousand copies of the play.<ref>Bannerjee, Hiranmay, p. 219.</ref><ref>Sengupta, Subodh Chandra and Bose, Anjali (editors), 1976/1998, ''Sansad Bangali Charitabhidhan'' (Biographical dictionary) Vol I, {{in lang|bn}}, p. 127, {{ISBN|81-85626-65-0}}</ref>
