Fifteen years after West Bengal scrapped an NPCIL nuclear project at Haripur following opposition from fishermen and villagers, Reliance Industries has proposed a nuclear plant at the same coastal site near Contai. The earlier project envisaged a 1,000MW unit with Russian technical collaboration and was cancelled in August 2011. A 2,000-acre plot had undergone seismic, geotechnical, hydrological and environmental surveys.
Reliance estimates the new plant could attract about ₹2 lakh crore over 6–7 years. The group is keen on Haripur, while the state has suggested Nayachar near Haldia. Reliance also proposed an AI-enabled New Town data centre, hotels in Kolkata, the Hills and Sunderbans, and coal gasification.

In the 1840s, the cunning East India Company levied a tax on the river trade routes along the Hooghly, targeting thousands of poor fishermen. The Company claimed the small fishing boats disrupted the uninterrupted flow of commercial ships sailing from the Kolkata port. Distressed, the fishermen traveled to Kolkata in droves to plead with their landlords to champion their cause, but the elites offered no firm support.
Then, one feisty lady stepped in - the widowed wife of Babu Raj Chandra Das. She did what even the most influential rajas of the era dared not imagine.
She leased a 10 Km stretch of the Hooghly River from the East India Company for 10,000 rupees. Once the agreement was signed, she barricaded her leased territory by stringing two massive iron chains across the river completely halting the Company's commercial vessels. She then invited the local fisherfolk to fish freely within her waters.
When the stunned Company authorities demanded an explanation, she replied that she was simply protecting her business interest in her leased property, as commercial steamships were harming her yield. Quoting British law back to them, she declared herself ready to face them in a British court.
With commercial vessels piling up on both sides of the barricade, an embarrassed East India Company was forced to negotiate. Ultimately, they abolished the tax on fishing, and she unlocked the river. That was the steely resolve of a lady who received no honorific titles from the British, but whom millions of common people crowned "Rani" in their hearts. She was Rani Rashmoni.
Her courage did not end on the riverbanks. When she established the iconic Dakshineswar Kali Temple, most conservative Brahmin priests refused to serve there because she belonged to the Shudra caste. Only one priest stood by her: Ramkumar Chattopadhyay, the elder brother of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, who would later turn the temple into a site of global renown.
In an era plagued by superstition and societal regressiveness, Rani Rashmoni was centuries ahead of her time. She championed the social reforms of Ishwar Chandra Bidyasagar and even submitted a draft bill against polygamy to the East India Company.
On her birth anniversary today, we remember this extraordinary woman who outwitted the British Raj and fought tirelessly for her people.

Rs 29.82 lakh cr is UPI transaction for Aug,
out of which 30% is P2M (person to merchant ).
67% the P2M transactions
are of Rs 2000 or more which qualify for MDR.
Take 0.4% of this amount to get 0.004 x 0.67 x 0.3 x 29.82 lakh cr = Rs 2397 cr for Aug.
For full year, MDR revenues alone come to Rs 2400 cr x 12
= Rs 28800 cr.
Govt will transfer 20% of this
to payment apps and this is
Rs 5760 cr.
Phone Pe with 50% market share may get Rs 2880/- cr.
This will completely erase the net loss of Phone Pe and
set it up for a $12-$15B
valuation mega IPO.

An Indian woman tried to pay her hotel bill in Rotterdam. The card was declined.
She had enough money in the account. The bank had made an error.
Players from other countries were standing there. Some of them made remarks. Not just about whether she could pay, but about India.
Her name is Dipika Pallikal.
She is one of the best squash players India has produced, and an Arjuna Award winner. She was in the Netherlands in 2011 for a tournament.
At the hotel, her Axis Bank debit card would not go through.
There was nothing wrong with her account. There was enough balance in it. The failure was at the bank's end.
But nobody standing in a hotel lobby can see that. All anyone sees is a young Indian sportswoman whose card has been refused.
She had a second card from another bank. She used that and paid.
That should have been the end of an embarrassing evening.
Then the money went missing.
The transaction had failed, but the amount was still taken from her account, and Axis Bank did not put it back.
Most people would have made calls, got nowhere, got tired, and written it off as a lesson.
She filed a case in a consumer court in Chennai.
Her complaint was not really about the money. It was about humiliation and loss of reputation. She had been made to look, in front of international competitors, like someone who could not pay her own hotel bill.
The case took about 3 years.
On 24th March 2014, the consumer court held Axis Bank responsible for deficiency in service. It ordered the bank to pay her 5 lakh rupees in compensation, and another 5,000 rupees towards her costs.
Here is why this case is worth knowing about, even if you will never play squash for India.
A bank failing your card is not treated in law as bad luck or a technical glitch. It is treated as a service you paid for, delivered badly.
And the damage the law recognised was not the amount of the bill. It was what happened to her standing in that room, in front of those people.
Your reputation is something a court can put a number on.
Hers came to 5 lakh rupees.
