If you are in Kolkata, don't forget to visit the suburbs like Serampore which was a Danish Colony and Chandannagar which was a French colony. It's a 30 min train ride from Howrah station.

Love the videos. Ancient history is 1500 years ago or more, so colonial India is not ancient. I’m a stickler for language, I find it makes communication more clear.

By the way Vishuddha I really do enjoy seeing all those beautiful architectual styles you showed us. I saw other nice architectual styles in Udaipur and Amer near Jaipur as well as in Jaipur. What to say of Old Varanasi on the ghats and alleyways. The GopRo will usually overheat as it happened to me in hot places in Mexico and Colombia.

Kolkata is a beautiful city but the problem is a lot of waste in the Mallick Ghat and surrounding areas. Also, I heard that Howrah is one of the dirtiest place in India. Truly a bad government in WB. Anyway, love from Bangladesh. Jay Shri Krishna.

Yes, the Hindi speaking people and the Bihari people always hinder the cleaning process in Howrah, because they thrive in the filth. Their deiti is called modi or something.

You came out of Mullick Ghat by Armenian Ghat. Its named so because this area was where the Armenians lived in Kolkata and are responsible for many of the old buildings in Kolkata. Kolkata was built majorly by Armenians and Jews. The British didn't care about architecture as much as them.
