History

Subhasgram has a legacy of rich history starting from the early years of British rule in Bengal. Subhasgram, named in honour of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, was earlier known as Changripota. Modern day Subasgram encompasses the localities of Changripota, Kodalia, parts of Harinavi and Chanditala. Subhasgram has been the home of numerous personalities, engaged either in social reform movements during the period of Bengal Renaissance or the Independence movement. Subhasgram houses the ancestral home of Dwarkanath Vidyabhsan and is also the birth place of Ramnarayan Tarkaratna, Shivnath Sastri and M.N. Roy. The ancestral houses of Sarat Chandra Bose and Subhash Chandra Bose are at Kodalia. Both of them were members of the first 24 Parganas District Committee of the Congress Party, which was formed in 1921.
