Question

4. Describe the growth of cacutta from a fishing hemlet to the capital of British India?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Calcutta did not become the capital of British India until 1772, when the first governor-general, Warren Hastings, transferred all important offices to the city from Murshidabad, the provincial Mughal capital. In 1706 the population of Calcutta was roughly between 10,000 and 12,000.
