'''North Dum Dum''' (also known as '''Uttar Dumdum''') is a city and a municipality 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==
North Dumdum Municipality, established in 1870, comprised villages known as Birati, Nimta, Kadihati, Jangalpur Patna, Gouripur and a large area of what is now [[Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport]]. In 1998, Bisharpara gram panchayat and half of Sultanpur gram panchayat were merged with the Municipality.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://northdumdummunicipality.org/ | title = North Dum Dum municipality | work = About us | publisher = NDM | access-date = 11 June 2018}}</ref>

With the [[Partition of Bengal (1947)|partition of Bengal]] in 1947, "millions of refugees poured in from erstwhile [[East Pakistan]]."<ref>Chatterjee, Monideep, "Town Planning in Calcutta: Past, Present and Future", in "Calcutta, The Living City" Vol II, Edited by Sukanta Chaudhuri, Page 142, First published 1990, 2005 edition, {{ISBN|0-19-563697-X}}</ref> In the initial stages bulk of the refugees were non-agriculturists. A few of them made their own arrangements, but "it was squatters who made the [[East Bengali refugees]] famous or infamous." Squatting (''jabardakhal'' in Bengali) ranged from the forcible occupation of barracks to the collective take-over of private, government and waste land. By 1949, there were 65 refugee colonies in the Dum Dum and Panihati zone. The squatters were in a way “self-settlers” in the absence of adequate official arrangements for rehabilitation. Within a very short time the refugees (quite often with government/ administrative support) not only found a place to stay but developed a society with markets, schools, temples and sometimes even colleges, hospitals and recreational centres.<ref>Chatterjee, Nilanjana, "The East Bengal Refugees: A Lesson in Survival", in "Calcutta, The Living City" Vol II, Edited by Sukanta Chaudhuri, Pages 72-75, First published 1990, 2005 edition, {{ISBN|0-19-563697-X}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271664458_The_Myths_Refugees_Live_By_Memory_and_history_in_the_making_of_Bengali_refugee_identity |title =The Myths Refugees Live By Memory and History of the Making of Bengali Refugee Identity |first=Uditi|last=Sen|work = 2014, Page 48 | publisher= Modern Asian Studies, 48, doi:10.1017/S0026749X12000613 | access-date = 5 March 2018}}</ref>
