I have had lived in Calcutta, WB (1998 - 2005) and some more cities in India. Calcutta is the ultimate, amazing and the most beautiful city to live in. The Armenians, BENGALIS (THE DOMINANTS) , Parsis, Jews, Anglo Indians, Chinese. Nahum's, China town, Coffee House and thousands more to add on. The perfect blend of Europe and the United Kingdom ..I have had never felt home alone. The best place in India to be. No wherein India I could find all of these!
I'm not an Anglo Indian, I was a Chinese Indian but now i consider myself as Chinese Canadian. I lived in bow barracks till I was 11, this is the first time in 50 years I looked at where I was from And i must say I'm blown away by the vid, lots of memories. Btw , what happened to the elementary school not far to the north? I remember wearing blue and gold.
though im a bong ..born in Punjab.. never gotta a chance to visit Kolkata..but it feels good to see this part of bengal through your lens and perspective! good job !
Calcutta isn't just a city it is an emotion ! it is the city of joy, city of lights , it is the heart of many people like me who is mad for this lovely city but unfortunately I didn't Know about bow barracks. 😟
steelnerve thanks to mamata, not stopping any Muslim from Bangladesh and biharies that that come here for job but make it dirty paste their non Bengali culture which doesn't respect other cultures
The country of birth and where one has lived his entire lifetime is what one should claim and reserve the right to address himself as to be called an “ INDIAN “one should always be proud of his national status and respect his fellow citizens and his country , we are proud of our nation and our motherland “INDIA “ JAI HIND !!!
Calcutta still hold that true cosmopolitan charm from the heart of the people just the economy and government that harming calcuttas cosmopolitians roots..
Yes I was thinking the same, to be part Anglo one has to have at least some English ancestry, may be half or even one fourth..... half Indian and half some other ancestry other than English would not justify as Anglo Indian...
@@priyankeebordoloi6676 yeah well it happens and a lot of malayalis and tamils do the same with us anglos. You're obviously not anglo either and i can tell from your long invented name but you would know as well that a lot of people try to fit in society as an anglo and its disrespectful.
Its said most Anglo Indians who were worth their salt left India by late eighties and early nineties, similarly many Goans left to Portugal and took up citizenship there. The anglo Indians left today are the poor ones who couldn't manage to migrate, if you notice most of them are not rich, the rich ones are already in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and some Caribbean islands.
I am an Anglo Indian And I don't think that All the Anglos are poor....Like me and my family my great grand father and grandfather had the chance to migrate but they didn"t infact they decided to stay in India because they were doing great in India.....And my entire family are very much happy to live in this wonderful Country India....
Not all Anglo-Indians are poor...It like any other community you have both the rich and poor....But the sense of togetherness that existed in the Anglo-Indian community is slowly dwindling and getting lost.
When the British finally packed their bags to leave India for good, Many Anglo Indian families were also struck with insecurity. However, they didn’t leave the country due to a sense of endearment they had developed with their birthplace.
calcutta or today's kolkata is a charming place where you will find anglo Indians, parsis, jews and armenians all these small communities have contributed something to the city. without these communities the charms of kolkata will lost.
where people like me don't get to see all these indigenous places in India. may be I cannot afford to travel so much. thanx to the team giving all the viewers a great visual pleasure and a rundown of lost history
It great to see your channel and these short film. You all are doing a fantastic job and looking forward to new ones. Here are few ideas - Club Culture in Calcutta - Football As A Way of Life (World Cup time) - Monsoons in Calcutta Cheers
Anglo community is dying its slow death. I have lived among the Anglo. Almost all of them migrated to Australia and England. Very few left. They are not finding matrimonial match in their own community hence stepping out of the bound to marry Bengalis and the offspring becomes like the men in the commentary. Indian Government gives lot of respect to this fleeting community. If not protected, this community will vanish for good.
@@smeetb01 Wow, you're going to blame them for the actions of their male ancestors from 200 years ago? What about the fact that they're of Indian descent in the female line?
I love anglo indian who mostly lived in Elliot road.. My st Dominic school mostly staff belongs to anglo indian.. I love kolkata mix culture.. Kolkata city of joy...
Good video. Made me feel nostalgic. I am from Vizag, we too have a similar area called Thompson street where many anglo indians live. I had my primary schooling in Richards nursery then shifted to St.Aloysius anglo indian high school.
It's true !! It's a real beauty in the City of Joy !! I have gone there several times during Christmas with my Parsi friend, unfortunately he is no more, but the Tradition in Bow Barracks remains same !! Merry Christmas to everyone 👍🍁

I don't know much about this channel and the cities you guys are working, although I have a suggestion for u.. Kerala have Jew community and also many other community of people leaving there who came from different land and leaving there for many years, mainly in Fort Kochi area and Mattancherry in Ernakulam District. If possible please make a video like this on it.. Thank you.... And great job guyzzzz....
I think your channel should have more than million subscribers.i thought its just a channel of some fake news covering all the news papers until i watched the transgender festival video.After that video i started watching one by one and came to know that i should subscribe to your channel and share your videos. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME...GREAT WORK
India would owe the development of the Railways to the Anglo-Indian... Then how about the Customs Departments, the Posts and Telegraphs, the English medium schools, colleges and kindergartens, the beautiful air hostesses, the fashion shows, dance schools, stewards and hostesses in most upmarket establishments, and the Hockey and Cricket teams... How about the acting and film schools, the dress designing and tutoring schools, the anglo-indian cuisine and administrative services? We can keep naming a dozen more of Indian infrastructure first established and nurtured by Anglo-Indians. We cannot miss the army and air forces, the sea faring anglo-Indians and the air line pilots that grew these service industries...
If any body who is not aware what an Anglo Indian is let me know...I will be glad to share WHAT AN ANGLO INDIANS...WERE AND ARE... I have been ( studying) my COMMUNITY for nearly 20 years now...And also to add I am from the family AND blood line of HERBERT ALICK STARK ...One of the best writers!

They are barely even Anglo, on of their great grandfathers was a white dude and they are walking around thinking they are Anglo-Saxons.
Nilesh Nath There paternal ancestors are British, so their ancestors probably were crusaders, knights etc.
When the British finally packed their bags to leave India for good, Many Anglo Indian families were also struck with insecurity. However, they didn’t leave the country due to a sense of endearment they had developed with their birthplace.
I'm an Anglo-Indian myself

mono7891 they are migrating on their own will,nobody is forcing them to leave,like Pakistanis and Bangladeshis forced the Hindus to leave!
Oh no
What a real tragedy
So sad
Surely there can't be other people who actually suffer in India
But no
Let's help the white colonizers feel cozy in the land they turned destitute

Hope you could make longer duration films. will certainly follow. And compliments to the beautiful host :-)

great channel already subscribed really riveting story and not too long either.
seems like everyone is leaving that place. no opportunity
Kolkata is inviting Bangladeshi immigrants for vote banks it's now a mess
Not really, they are all muslims, muslims don't celebrate durga puja.
Once before partition bangladeshi muslim celebrated durga puja but now radicalisatin of islam fuked it up
Save Calcutta from Illegal Bangladeshis then!
How is Bangladesh even related to this video? stop blaming us for everything
