| PEOPLE OF CALCUTTA | BENGAL'S HEART | CITY OF JOY |
People of Kolkata India can be divided into a number of categories, namely, Ghotis from West Bengal and Bangals from East Bengal, Biharis, Marwaris, Oriyas, Anglo-Indians, Chinese, Tamils, Telegus, Malayalees, Gujaratis, Assamese, Marathis, Parsees, Nepalese and Caucasian Europeans.
Punjabis form a major part of Calcutta's population.
They have made an incredible contribution in the fields of irrigation, warfare, technology, arts & crafts, commerce, and business.
Chinese people deserve the credit for promoting the religious values and practices of Buddhism and Confucianism. Marwaris today hold high positions in the cotton, jute and banking industry.
Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta, is the educational, commercial and cultural centre of the Eastern part of India, and is the third most populous metropolitan city of India.
Kolkata is a pioneer in the field of drama, arts, theatre and literature with several nobel laureates contributing to the Kolkata culture.
Kolkata is a city with soul; in its every little coffee house squabble, haggling for the best ilish, delightful bites of sondesh or the exultant sindur khela in Durga Puja,
the city celebrates life. ... They rightly say, you can take a Bengali out of Kolkata but you can never take Kolkata out of a Bengali's heart!
From the stunning colonial-era Victoria Memorial to the ever-busy Howrah Bridge, Kolkata's architecture will no doubt impress. With a variety of historic churches, synagogues, temples, old mansions and colonial buildings, Kolkata's structures pull off old-world charm unlike few other cities can.
