Ranchi, Jharkhand, India
McCluskieganj is a small, quiet, hilly town nestled on the Chota Nagpur Plateau in Jharkhand. It was founded in 1933 by Ernest Timothy McCluskie, an Anglo-Indian businessman from Kolkata (then Calcutta), with the ambitious vision of creating a 'Mooluk' or homeland for the entire Anglo-Indian communi ty of India. McCluskie, deeply impressed by the pleasant environment and temperate climate, purchased around 10,000 acres of land on a perpetual lease from the Maharaja of Ratu. He then formed the Colonisation Society of India to execute his plan, inviting nearly 200,000 Anglo-Indians to settle. In its heyday, the town flourished, often lovingly referred to as 'Mini England' or 'Chota England'. Over 400 Anglo-Indian families settled here, building colonial-era bungalows, a church, a club, and a bakery, living a distinctly European lifestyle amidst the pristine natural beauty of the forest and rolling hills. The early years of McCluskieganj were marked by a vibrant social life, with parties, music, and the distinct culture of the Anglo-Indians. However, the dream of a successful colony began to fade after the 1940s. The remote location, lack of strong infrastructure, poor employment opportunities for the younger generation, and the mass emigration of Anglo-Indians post-Independence led to the town's decline. Many beautiful bungalows were abandoned, sold, or fell into ruins, leading it to be tragically dubbed a 'Ghost Town' for a period. A new chapter began in 1997 with the establishment of the Don Bosco Academy, which revitalized the local economy by creating demand for student hostels in the old bungalows, thus giving a new lease of life to the remaining Anglo-Indian families and restoring some of the township's former vitality. Today, McCluskieganj is a peaceful tourist destination, known for its serene nature, its colonial architectural remnants, and the poignant history of a dream that was almost realized. It offers a unique blend of Anglo-Indian and tribal cultures.
