the one-horned rhinoceros in wonderful wildlife reserves, then
dream of a forgotten age in the ancient holy towns on the plains
of rural India.
Discover the Soul of Kolkata
(Calcutta) is the largest
city in India, indeed one of the largest in the world. Established
as a British trading post in the 17th century, the city rapidly
grew, acquiring a life and vibrancy of its own. Its glory is still
reflected in the buildings of Chowringhee and Clive Street, know
as Jawaharlal Nehru Road and Netaji Subhash Road respectively.
It is a city which leaves no-one indifferent-fascinating, effervescent,
teeming with life, peoples, cultures. The impact can be a shock
at first; the rickshaws, cars, brightly painted lorries, trolley
buses, the cries of the street vendors, labourers hard at work
on the construction of the vast underground railway, the noise
and colour of the huge New Market, the bustle of the crowds...but
soon the jumbled impressions will sort themselves out.
