'''Nagerbazar''' is a locality of [[North 24 Parganas district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[West Bengal]]. It is close to [[Kolkata]] and also a part of the area covered by [[Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority]] (KMDA).

==History==
[[File:Clive's House Side View.JPG|thumb|Clive House, Ramgarh, Nagerbazar|alt=|left]]
'''Clive House''' is located on Rastraguru Avenue at Ramgarh, Nagerbazar. It is mired in controversy. It is thought of as the first ''pucca'' brick and cement building in the Northern fringes of [[Kolkata]], possibly built by the Portuguese. Now, some people are saying that it was the hunting lodge of an Indian prince or noble man (and so where was the jungle?) What is definitely known is that it was used by British soldiers when they first started coming into the country and then [[Robert Clive]] took it over, renovated it, added a floor to the single-storeyed building and made it his country house (Some people refer to it as his residence, which appears doubtful) around 1757-60. The house is located on a raised ground. In the otherwise flat surroundings it is even thought of as a mound or a hill. The more interesting part of the story is that "on excavation of Clive House, coins, terracotta figures, sculpture, potteries etc. and information of a Portuguese Fort were found." The articles found could be of the [[Sena dynasty|Sen period]] but some people think that it could have links with the 2,000 years/ more older civilisation unearthed earlier at [[Chandraketugarh]]. Clive House is under the [[Archaeological Survey of India]] since 2004, but squatters inside and outside Clive House have hindered restoration work.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.ordnancedumdum.gov.in/history/history.php | title = Ordnance Factory Dum Dum | work = Dum Dum Story | publisher = Indian Ordnance Factories | access-date = 29 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://calcutta-kolkata-asim.blogspot.com/2011/11/heritage-of-kolkata-clive-house-under.html | title = Heritage of Kolkata – Clive House – under dilapidation | publisher = Asim Kumar 2011 | access-date = 29 July 2018}}</ref><ref name=censushandbook>{{cite web| url = http://censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/19/1911_PART_A_DCHB_NORTH%20TWENTY%20FOUR%20PARGANAS.pdf |title = District Census Handbook North Twenty Four Parganas, Census of India 2011, Series 20, Part XII A |work = Places of religious importance, Page 123 | publisher= Directorate of Census Operations, West Bengal| access-date = 29 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.telegraphindia.com/1030523/asp/calcutta/story_1991198.asp | title = Old house on the hill | publisher = The Telegraph, 23 May 2003 | access-date = 29 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.telegraphindia.com/1060124/asp/calcutta/story_5757213.asp | title = The two faces of Clive House in Dum Dum – Squatters inside or outside building still impeding Archaeulogical Survey's restoration project | publisher = The Telegraph, 24 January 2006 | access-date = 29 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/Dum-Dum-mound-may-rewrite-Kolkata-history/articleshow/45244284.cms | title = Dum Dum mound may rewrite Kolkata history | publisher = The Times of India, 23 November 2014 | access-date = 29 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://vivatheritage.co.uk/clive-of-indias-house-at-dum-dum-calcutta/ | title = Clive of India's House at Dum Dum, Calcutta | publisher = Vivat Heritage, 2012 | access-date = 29 July 2018}}</ref>
