Overview

This is a unique history book about a city street and its interactions with the heterogeneous societies of Colonial Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) amidst the spontaneity of cultural changes. Dhurrumtollah Street running between the then posh English neighbourhood and the worn-out stretch of Cossitollah, Malanga, and Dingabhanga towards Talpukur of yesterdays at the east end maintained a distinctive cosmopolitan profile undivided by racial, religious, or socio-economic status. Dhurrumtollah has always been more than a place on the map; it has been a meeting point of cultures, religions, economies, and ideas. From bazaars to Brahmos and Derozians, Finding Dhurrumtollah unearths Calcutta's untold stories through the street that sparked Bengal's awakening.
