This paper is all about a historical survey on colonization and its impact on the Bengali entrepreneurs. It shows mainly the decline of Bengali entrepreneurship in the second half of the 19th century. During the pre-colonial and early colonial period, Bengal had a long and rich tradition of commodity production and trade and commerce. But this tradition witnessed a sharp decline from the second half of the 19th century. It shows its impact mainly on the indigenous business enterprises in Bengal. This paper seeks to explore the colonial economic domination over Bengal trade and commerce. The colonial domination caused the destruction of handicrafts, independent business and ruined agriculture.
