The three villages of Sutanuti, Govindapur and Dihi Kalikata comprised a part of the [[Jagir|jagirdari]] of Ray Chaudhury family — those territories were still owned by the Mughal emperor but the right to governance (and tax-collection, a major part of which was to be remitted to the Mughal Court) was granted to the Chaudhurys.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Banka|first=Neha|date=2021-08-25|title=Explained: ‘Calcutta does not have a birthday’, but it has some markers of urbanisation|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/calcutta-does-not-have-a-birthday-but-it-has-some-markers-of-urbanisation-7468418/|url-status=live|website=[[The Indian Express]]|language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">Nair, P.
