सेंट जॉर्ज किले का इतिहास || Fort St. George history in Hindi || Facts about Fort St. George
Fort St George (or historically, White Town[1]) is the first English (later British) fortress in India, founded in 1644[2] at the coastal city of Madras, the modern city of Chennai. The construction of the fort provided the impetus for further settlements and trading activity, in what was originally an uninhabited land.[3] Thus, it is a feasible contention to say that the city evolved around the fortress.[4] The fort currently houses the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly and other official buildings.
The East India Company (EIC), which had entered India around 1600 for trading activities, had begun licensed trading at Surat, which was its initial bastion. However, to secure its trade lines and commercial interests in the spice trade, it felt the necessity of a port closer to the Malaccan Straits, and succeeded in purchasing a piece of coastal land, originally called Chennirayarpattinam or Channapatnam, where the Company began the construction of a harbour and a fort. The fort was completed on 23 April 1644 at a cost of £3000,[6] coinciding with St George's Day, celebrated in honour of the patron saint of England. The fort, hence christened Fort St George, faced the sea and some fishing villages, and it soon became the hub of merchant activity. It gave birth to a new settlement area called George Town (historically referred to as Black Town), which grew to envelop the villages and led to the formation of the city of Madras. It also helped to establish English influence over the Carnatic and to keep the kings of Arcot and Srirangapatna, as well as the French forces based at Pondichéry, at bay. In 1665, after the EIC received word of the formation of the new French East India Company, the fort was strengthened and enlarged while its garrison was increased.[7]
According to the 17th century traveller Thomas Bowrey, Fort St. George was:
without all dispute a beneficiall place to the Honourable English India Company, and with all the Residence of theire Honourable Agent and Governour all of their Affaires Upon this Coast and the Coast of Gingalee, the Kingdoms also of Orixa, (Orissa) Bengala (Bengal), and Pattana (Patna), the said Governour and his Councell here resideigne, for the Honour of our English Nation keepinge and maintainneinge the place in great Splendour, Civil and good Government, Entertaineinge nobly all Foraign Embassadors, and provideinge great quantities of Muzlinge (Muslin) Callicoes (Calico) &c. to be yearly transported to England.[8]
The Fort is a stronghold with 6 metres (20 ft) high walls that withstood a number of assaults in the 18th century. It briefly passed into the possession of the French from 1746 to 1749, but was restored to Great Britain under the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, which ended the War of the Austrian Succession.
The Fort now serves as one of the administrative headquarters for the legislative assembly of Tamil Nadu state and it still houses a garrison of troops in transit to various locations at South India and the Andamans. The Fort Museum contains many relics of the Raj era, including portraits of many of the Governors of Madras. The fort is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India, with the administrative support of Indian Army[9][10].

CM Devendra Fadnavis unveils iconic Kala Ghoda statue in Mumbai
The iconic Kala Ghoda statue was unveiled by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday at the Kala Ghoda parking lot area in South Bombay. The statue has been constructed after 50 years since the original statue of King Edward VII seated on the black horse was removed in 1965 and sent to the Jijamata Udyan, zoo.
The 25-feet-tall bronze statue of just the black horse (Kala Ghoda) has been constructed by the Kala Ghoda Association (KGA) with a budget of Rs 5 lakh over a period of six months. This statue has been carved by sculptor Shreehari Bhosle and designed by architect Alfaz Miller.
Maneck Davar, chairman of KGA, told the Free Press Journal, “We did not want to restore the old statute but rather focus on the future. The area has been known as Kala Ghoda since years and we also have the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival coming up next month so the statue will serve as a symbolic art installation.” The statue known as ‘Spirit of Kala Ghoda’ will give an identity to the area and also serve as a manifestation of art and culture.
