Through the lens of primary sources and historical records, Bidisha Chakraborty delves into the complex social fabric of Calcutta, examining the interplay of colonial rule, indigenous traditions, and the influence of the burgeoning modern world. The work sheds light on the lives of the people, the city’s infrastructure, and the intellectual movements that helped shape modern India.

Through its meticulous archival exploration, it brings to life a city that was a melting pot of ideas, cultures, and aspirations during the nineteenth century.
