This book is about the history of a Bengali family from Ulpur village in Faridpur district in East Bengal , which is in present day Bangladesh . It is the history of our own family, also called the Basu Roy Chowdhury family, shortened to Bose . Our Bose family came from East Bengal, which is now in Bangladesh. Our ancestors had gotten land deeds from the Mughal emperor and had a jagir in the area of Ulpur village in Faridpur district (now moved to Gopalganj district). This continued in the British rule of India as well, and we had a large Zamidar bari or house of the landlord. During partition, most of the family being Bengali Hindus, lost their lands and fled west to India, although some remained in Ulpur . There is also a big kali temple and smaller temples there. This book is a summary of our family and its history. This book is a summary of our family and its history. We go through the surviving buildings of the Zamidar bari in Ulpur as well as discuss the history of our family in Delhi, particularly in Kashmere Gate and Chittaranjan Park localities. We hope it will be useful to people interested in Indian family histories, in particular related to Bengal.
