For the first time in India, electricity came to Kolkata on July 29. After that, the first electricity in India was also set up in Kolkata. It was the same time when India made the first step in modern energy tools. For the first time in India, it was not less than a genius for the people. During that time, Kolkata (Calcutta) was the capital of British India and industrial-transport center. First of all, the bulb was installed here. But people were shocked to see that. Various rumors spread that some say that it is “like ghost eyes”, while some seemed to be “Chiri of Jinnah”. People used to visit these burnt bulbs from far away, but some were so scared that they did not dare to approach.
Prior to the electricity, coal -driven gas lamps were installed on the roads of Kolkata. Until 5, there were such lamps on large roads. But after 5, the gas lamp started to diminish and the electricity consumption began to increase. Then in Mumbai (then Bombay), electricity came in 1959. There, people thought that the British had imprisoned the glass in the glass. Even after seeing the electric poles, there are different beliefs that the iron pillars will absorb the fertility of the soil, while some believe that the British are catching the soul with the help of these pillars.
When electricity reached Bihar in the 1990s, people looked at the wires and say that the “invisible snake” was fleeing. Something similar happened to the roof fan. People were scared to see the fan for the first time, and they thought he would fall down and hurt anyone.
Thus, in the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 7th century, electricity and modern equipment created new experiences filled with eagerness, surprise and superstition in Indian society.
