Portuguese fortress or Sahibganj Nilkuthi!!

The identity of Chandpur is basically 'the country of the Hilsa'. However, there are some signs in Chandpur that do not know much about the new generation! Nilkuthi in Sahebganj is such a place.Chandpur was called 'Gateway of Eastern India'. Chandpur is famous from the British period as a trade center. It was normal for the Portuguese, the English here to come to trade here. When they come to trade they need to build different structures. Many of the structures have disappeared in the womb but there are still ruins of Sahebganj Nilkuthi.

Sahebganj is an important township of Rupsa Union of Faridganj upazila of Chandpur, which is a famous habitation of Sahebganj. Sahebganj upazila headquarters is only five kilometers away. It is believed that the Portuguese first came to this region. Then Sahibganj township was known as 'Bangshal'. Later the English came. At that time, the English had to be called 'Sahib' and the name of the place has been recorded as 'Sahebganj'. The Bengalis used to earn tribals from the blue peasants sitting in the blue light. In 1866, indigo cultivation was a major development. However, in 1873, the cultivation of indigenous farmers was stopped by the cultivation of indigenous people. Now, though there is no indecency of indigo cultivation or English, the ruins of old red brick houses still remain in view of history.

Sahebganj has some more strange history behind the sapphire. Neelkuthi But Neelkuthi But The English Have Not Created Basically, it was a fortress. About 200 years ago, this fort was built 500 years ago by Portuguese commander Antonio de Silva Manzis. At that time, the location of Faridganj was near the sea. Portuguese known as pirates therefore built a huge fort for their safety. Although they used to call it a commodity. Their piracy continues in the vicinity of the trade. About three hundred years after the construction of the fort, the English started using the castle as sapphires. Today, everyone knows this fort as Nilkuthi. In this area there are still some families whose native male Portuguese is still living.

Many parts of Sahebganj Nilkuthi today are in the way of Bilione due to lack of maintenance. Here is a monitoring tower or tower. This monastery is the only intact structure. It is known that inscriptions were once in the inner part of this minen at 45 feet high. In addition to the minarets, there are many foundations in the houses of the underground, elephant and Ghorashal, to keep valuable items here. There is the English Nilkar Charli Saheb Dighi.At present, there are bushes, forests, and plants that cover these structures. Many places are being occupied again. Some are stolen from archaeological materials. If this is going on, it may not be possible to tell the future generation of Bangla early history. The history of blue cultivation or sapphire may be lost, by losing these patterns. So arranging for the maintenance of Sahebganj Nilkuthi and its history is now time demand.
