The Epic City by Chandrahas Choudhury
The World on the Streets of Calcutta
A lyrical travelogue and urban portrait that roams the streets of Kolkata, weaving intimate encounters with shopkeepers, rickshaw-pullers, intellectuals and migrants into a larger history of the city’s colonial legacy, political upheavals, and cultural resilience; through vivid on-the-ground reporting and personal reflection it captures the sensory chaos and deep social inequalities of everyday life while tracing the forces—economic, religious, and environmental—that have shaped the city’s past and continue to define its uncertain future.
