This book delves into the life, culture, and history of the diverse communities—such as the Chinese, Armenians, Jews, Germans, and Greeks—who played a vital role in shaping Calcutta into a unique city. As the city developed under Job Charnock, founder of the settlement, it became a melting pot of cultures, where people from various parts of the world came to live, trade, and coexist in peace. The book explores how these communities contributed to the city's composite culture, making it a hub of harmony, as well as highlighting Calcutta's status as the "queen city" of the British Empire with its multi-structural urban planning.
