“…Serampore became also commonly known as the ‘Gretna Green’ of Bengal, as eloping couples used to escape from forced marriages arranged by their families in order to get married by registration in Serampore ( The Asiatic Journal and Monthly Register , 1833(12): 249). The Danish government levied charges for such marriage registration, making considerable profits, but the Danish officers did not permit Europeans to marry local women (Pettigrew & Gopalan, 1998: 187; Yuel, 1888: 264). Contemporary Church Registers and other sources document marriages between Danes and English or French partners, but never mention any marriage between Danes and native people, as Lorentz Bie (1933: 22–5) confirmed.…”

Serampore, a small town of West Bengal, today virtually a suburb of Kolkata, has an unusual history and heritage as a Danish trading post/colony between 1755 and 1845. Creating a bustling, well-organised town, the Danes introduced various reforms which prepared the nineteenth-century awakening in Bengal. While the history of this Danish involvement at Serampore awaits fuller archival research, this article feeds on a range of local sources and contemporary travel accounts to discuss details of the Danish engagement in Serampore. The article also illustrates how, beyond the dominant British influence, colonial India experienced other foreign interventions that remain pertinent today, not just regarding trade but also missionary activities and some local sub-structures that have become almost invisible.

How can business leaders navigate through a world of polycrisis? This work blends historical lessons, firsthand accounts, and ethical perspectives on crisis to fill a key gap in our understanding of effective, ethical leadership through settings of crisis, conflict and/or fragility. Pulling from historical events and contemporary research, this Element looks past individual crises and explores a world of overlapping, permanent crises, or "polycrisis." It contrasts traditional leadership responses with values of community and authenticity, emphasizing the necessity of ethical and servant leadership when conventional business strategies fail. This work offers insights for anyone interested in understanding and navigating the complex landscape of crisis and strategizes enduring leadership for constant crises. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
