The City History Forgot: Exploring Dutch Chinsurah | Episode 3 Dutch

The Dutch East India Company (VOC) was once the richest corporation in history, wealthier than most empires. But today, along the banks of the Hooghly River in Bengal, almost all that remains of their power is a graveyard. In Episode 3 of the series "One River, Five Country" Series, exploring the forgotten empires of the river, I take the Honda CB350 Classic into the heart of Chinsurah to uncover the hidden Dutch history of Bengal. From the remnants of Fort Gustavus and the mysterious tomb of Susanna Anna Maria (the legend that inspired Bollywood's 7 Khoon Maaf), to Dutch Cemetery, to the rise of powerful Bengali merchant families who built lasting empires in the shadow of European cannons. I have also visited the exact location where Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay penned the iconic "Vande Mataram." #chinsurah #dutchhistory #hooghlyriver #motorcycletravel #cb350hness #bengalhistory #motovlogindia #hiddenhistory Chapters: 00:43 Chapter 1: The Company even richer than a whole country 02:17 Chapter 2: Dutch arrived at Chinsurah 03:33 Chapter 3: Only one wall left of a Old Dutch Fort 04:42 Chapter 4: Old seal of a company still remains 05:30 Chapter 5: The Bengali traders took refuge at a Dutch town 07:12 Chapter 6: The river that created a bustling Dutch town 07:57 Chapter 7: Dutch lady with "Seven" Husbands 09:10 Chapter 8: Downfall 10:10 Chapter 9: Road to Indian Freedom struggle is written here 11:28 Chapter 11: The Dhaak gifted by Dutch My Gears: 360 Degree Camera: https://link.amazon/B0fG8GjEW DJI Action Camera 5: https://amzn.to/4f0OP5E Wireless Microphone: https://link.amazon/B0hyoWJ0W Mobile : https://link.amazon/B0apNO5Rn Laptop: https://link.amazon/B0dYd4ePM Mouse: https://link.amazon/B0buDdoCf Headphone: https://link.amazon/B07TRHniz Additional Monitor: https://link.amazon/B0cibkNDq Studio Lights: https://link.amazon/B0c8c54jF Light Diffuser: https://link.amazon/B0d8uFRLe Power Bank: https://link.amazon/B0c3HMlcg Helmet Bluetooth: https://link.amazon/B02wgrb7P
