Calcutta

Anita Rani journeys through Calcutta, the creative hub of West Bengal. As the first capital of the British Raj it is a city with a unique history, but with India's economy booming the government has ordered a modernisation. Anita traces the impact of this development on the local population, and asks whether Calcutta is moving in the right direction. Although the city is changing rapidly Anita explores some traditions still deeply ingrained within Bengali life.
