I'm from Bombay and settled in the U.S. about a quarter century ago. This New Year's eve I was in Bombay and we decided to take a trip to Kolkata, which has been described as a filthy city, dying city and all of that in our media. But as far as my history knowledge goes, Cal was the political, cultural, spiritual and scientific capital of India. All of our literary and scientific giants were from Bengal (East and West). Our trip to Cal was a shocking experience because reality was quite the opposite from what we had imagined. Kolkata is beautiful, clean, beautiful promenades and vast open grounds for the public. Traffic was much smoother with no traffic jams compared to Bombay. Very little garbage strewn on the street, no building debris, Lots of cleanliness that we in Bombay are not used to. Bombay is a big garbage dump so readers please don't believe anybody that tells you that it's a lie. Other than around Park Street where we stayed at the Oberoi Grand Hotel, we took cab rides to Howrah, Hoogly, Alipore, Salt Lake. All these neighborhoods were so well maintained, inhabited by decent neighbors. I'm thinking of relocating to Kolkata because BOMBAY is the most filthy and unlivable city in India. Even the people of Kolkata were so helpful and courteous and disciplined. Bombay is the dead city...or rather the fastest dying city in India. Jackson, Mississippi.
Kolkata has changed beyond recognition which has not been projected in this video. It should have also focused on Salt Lake city with sprawling Sector V humming with IT industries, Rajarhat New Town, Second Hooghly Bridge, Sister Nivedita Bridge to cite a few. Govts. of West Bengal and India should come forward to package this great city to make it more attractive to both the foreign and domestic tourists.
+Amitabha Roy Foreign Tourists don't want to see second grade bridges and IT sectors. They have 10 times the quality of that in the states and Europe . What is unique is the character of the city
Having visited Kolkata I cannot iterate enough the dishonesty of referring to this city as clean. A westerner who has not visited this city cannot imagine how filthy it is. When you get there you will be shocked to the core. That being said I will never try to deter anyone from visiting here. I have personally gathered enormous spiritual strength from visiting India in general and this city in particular. I have been there twice and will possibly visit again.
Brian Parker sir thats true but i have lived there i would tell you sir delhi in terms of infrastructure is way ahead of kolkata and sir hygiene levels will be not up to mark for a westerner sir .sir european nations have cleanliness and hygiene though i love my nation india but i have to accept that in terms of international quality we have to achieve a lot and have to improve . sir but where kolkata is it has to improve a lot even on our national standard it is lacking but nonetheless we indians have to stay positive and hope that improves
Kolkata (Calcutta) is perhaps the most British of all Indian cities , played a major role in the freedom movement, still has a pulsating and tolerant culture and an unique understated aura.
And that is why non-Bengalis are becoming majority here as we are too accepting & tolerating. Someday they might kick out all the Bengalis from that city.
I Love Kolkatta, no matter what people say about India in General is dirty but its a place where one should take examples from.. how people work hard to earn their living .. many places in Europe are dirty as well. It really pxxx me off when i see people writing how dirty the place is..so what.. its lovely place and cultural and has it all.. so ZIP up..
Kolkata is a cleaner and a modern city. Nicknamed City of Joy. This video provides an interesting and fascinating insight into the city. The historical background to the city is well explored. Kolkata is a modern and cleaner city. I visited the city in 2013 and observed significant changes. There are shopping malls and business parks, which Salt Lake City features. I plan to visit the city next year and visit a few of the sites featured in the video.
Nobody can cover all the places of a city or state within a limited budget and time. That's why capturing photos or shooting videos of each and every places of interest is not at all possible. However, this video is well-researched, well-captured. But adding a few locations like Nakhoda Mosque, Dakshineswar Temple, Jorasanko Thakurbari, Nandan area and Saltlake(Science city or any other area) could have surely improved it.
Well presented with a few discrepancies . Love the city and its culture , although never lived there . Serampore , of course , I did have my family connections from my fathers side . My cultural affinity is Bengali and a proud Indian too .
Sincere Apologies , Just an honest opinion from a land , miles away . The cultural affinity does last long . I am sorry once again if I have been harsh on a perfectly honest question .
The video only shows the monuments made by British and have more emphasis on slums, but there is no mention of science city, Birla planetorium ,Nandan, Vidyasagar setu etc and also there is no visualisations of recent developments in the likes of skyscrappers, shopping malls ,kolkata subways, Beautified river sides and mush more. so i would rate it 2 out of 5
What can you expect from them, by India they mean European settlements, churches etc and whatever Indian are slums and poverty. Basically westerners are brain wahsed people, they have their own agenda. But don't worry, westerners can not sustain staying like this. Soon they are going to be washed out by Indians in next 50 years.
In this video many important place is missed out like DAKHINESWAR TEMPLE,Birla Planetorium etc. This video is only focused to the poverty line & slum area....... There is much more good thing beyond this video in our city... KOLKATA ....
The place has got resources and capability to develop compared to any other Indian metropolitan cities but of the people and government over there is holding back it's development. It deserves much better than what it has got now
Actually Sir what do you mean by development ? Clean super roads, Nice muli-storeyed buildings, malls, food parks, resorts, and all such things rich people look for ? But we in Kolkata has a different vision. In Kolkata even today our main mission is love for the poor , love for the down-trodden and sincere passion for helping people which was started by Swami Vivekananda. That is why it is the City for the Poor and City of Joy.We don't care how many billionaires stay here. Due to the teachings of great persons like Swamiji, Netaji, Rabindranath, Najrul, Sri Ramkrisna, Sri Aurobindo, Sri Chaitanya and many such others we always love people from anywhere. Love is our keynote, Joy is our music, which imparts on visitor a spell of passion which attracts them again and again.
Kolkata is not only the City of Joy but also a city of culture, city of humanity, city of love, and a city of spirituality. 5 Nobel laureates of India came from Kolkata. We love life. So we try to maintain everything old and new.Therefore we have hand pulled rickshaws,trams,country boats, and so on. I have been to all metro cities of India many times, and the more we see them the more I love Kolkata. Kolkata has given birth to Swami Vivekananda, whom BJP is trying to make political model without understanding him. Even recently Kolkata has given Sri La Prabhupad to whose feet the americans and europeans are sitting today. And cleanliness. I think Kolkata is now cleaner than any other metro cities in India. And CPM has destroyed all the industries in collaboration with Gujratis and Marathis. So it will take time to recover.
This video focuses more on the one side of the river and colonial buildings, However there are may more things left of like Princep Ghat, High Court, Park Street, Nandan, Academy of Fine Arts, College Streat, Cofee House, National Library.
Good narration about Kolkatta. Have been there so many times but enjoyed getting a history on it :) By the way, didnt see any travel guide on Bhutan. Anyone can share a link. Thanks
Let me say, within 25 mins. the travel videos generally show the landmarks of a certain city, not just the shopping malls and flyovers which stays at the backdrop. However, it is unfortunate that mostly the focused structures lay dilapidated and the areas nearby showed dirty, without any planned maintenance which in turn made our city look shabby
THE CULTURAL CAPITAL OF INDIA. THE CITY OF JOY, THE CITY OF FOOTBALL, THE CITY OF HAPPINESS, THE CITY EVERYONE FALLS IN LOVE WITH, PREVIOUS CAPITAL OF INDIA AND, OF COURSE THE BEST CITY MAHANAGAR OF INDIA(MAHANAGAR- THE NATIVE KOLKATA BENGALI WORD FOR MEGACITY) ALSO, A WELL-KNOWN VERY IMPORTANT CITY ALL OVER THE WORLD. #BENGALIINDIANCULTURE #KOLKATALOVE
When u are jealous of someone u complain , when that someone suddenly shows a sign of unrest in this case political. You don't complain you start negative propaganda. Kolkata was beautiful is beautiful and it was soon be the jewel among the cities across India.
hey guys.......plz stop blaming each other & kolkata might just be a dirty place....SO WHAT ...we r that city which got the strongest culture in the world & we still didn't forgot our oldest culture of touching the feets of our elders and giving them respect by all means which I bet no country or any other city in the world had, has or never will have...So just b proud of yourself & also for being a bangali by heart & by mind......... Live & let live in peace, harmony, faith, honesty & love....!!!!
Kolkata was one of the richest city in the South Asia till the mid 20th century. Thanks to the 38 years long communist rule. Now Kolkata is one of the worst in the world.
This has nothing to do with communist rule and this is not the worst city. Kolkata is the safest city with most helpful people, with the most secular enviroment, with lesser economic diversity as compared to other metro cities, On average, population of kolkata is more mordern and educated as compared to other metro cities. Europians will find a homely mindset among kolkata people However americans won't. Thats what makes kolkata different that other cities. This is a people powered tradition. You learnt nothing.
Thanks to the communists, Kolkata has been able to maintain its intellectuality, liberal thoughts, socialism, and the tag 'Cit of Joy'. Otherwise it could've been a hub of Trump supporting idiots. And if you have any problem with Kolkata, Get the f**k out of my city and go to Gujarat and stay at your Modi's fake American model.
Loaded PGun jyoti and his goons destroyed West Bengal. Most of the top factories closed down alleging workers equality. I returned home Kolkata after ten years in 2014 and Mamata in four years 2011 to 2014 had changed the very appearance of Kolkata. Cleaner roads and AC buses. Lights and water even in the poorest areas. Communists can never do anything good. They are cancer on earth.
me vivía en Bengala Occidental, Calcuta por unos años...maravillosa :)..Supuesto que fue comentado, Calcuta es un lugar para los Europeanos, todo al contrario a la gente de EE.UU que no se gusta jejeje no se porque! Por definitivo le refiero que conocerla y vivir por allí. Demás le encontraría unas gente que hablan castellano y otros idiomas europeanos jejeje :)
Indian people are hard working, intelligent , but unfortunately courpt elite class, and army officers consumed a heavy part of budget in the name defence, weapons buying deals wich made by elite class , is the major source of heavy , courption by commission, people needs food health facilities,

Because Kolkata's Chief Minister our beloved Didi grew up in a slum and take pride of it, so she did not feel yet to create proper comprehensive rehabilitation for slum people. Earlier the leaders of communist party also spoke about the rights of poor people for last 30 years, so we are, kind of habituated to take pride saying "we are poor but honest", and do not want to be corrupted millionaire. We are happy to get a rs 8000 job and still call ourself a middle class rather to take risk of being an entrepreneur. Although our state produces the largest talent pool for the rest of India, our students from Industrial Entrepreneurship program look for jobs in other companies after graduation.
@@batayangosh Have you seen Mumbai slums. Have you seen waterlogging in Mumbai. I have many Marathi friends live in Mumbai. They say your Kolkata is much better than our Mumbai.
Okay I get it. This video was made to count and praise what all buildings the British have made in kolkata and how classy those all structures are. I get it dude. But why were they in kolkata again? Did we invite them to visit India and they were making buildings for us for charity purposes? Ohhh no, they came to steal our freedom, our home, our land and all the great things we had. RIGHT !! GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT AND RESPECT OUR CULTURE THAT WE ARE STILL ALLOWING YOU ALL IN OUR HOME
Expedia drop this video or add Newtown, Vishwas Bangla, Salt Lake, Eden Garden, Royal Bengal ITC hotel and much more the street foods ..... You are only promoting your video not holding htbe culture literature of this ancient city .
few points. it seems from the video that whatever that has been created in kolkata has been created by westeners. there are plenty of other things to do in kolkata other than churches. like visit to belur mutt founded by swami vivekananda, dakhineswar temple, a walk by the ganges starting from princep ghat, visit to science city, a visit to jorasanko thakurbari - the house of Noble Lauriate Gurudeb Rabindronath Tagore, ferry ride on ganga, just to name some. And please note that kalighat temple allows non hindus also. & for ur kind info kolkata has a very very large population of middle class & not as u said very vary poor & very affluent. pl get ur facts correct before showing the city in a bad light.
Only u hv to show in kolkata is slums, poverty & clumsy market.... nobody shows developed kolkata, currently kolkata has one of the best infrastructure, show Rajarhat, salt lake, south kolkata.... i am not boasting coz i stay in kolkata, bt if u cn show the bad part of the city, thn good part has to shown.... & thanks to all western world ppl... they only picture out poverty in India... nobody ever shows developed India...... SO GUYS... IF U WANNA SEE WHT KOLKATA IS DO VISIT... U ILL BE ASHAMED THT SEEING THT UR STEREOTYPING WILL BE WRONG
Showing only the buildings of European settlements and dirty streets alone do not project true Kolkata. It is a bullshit video. There is not even a mention about New Town.

Please visit again... perception needed to be changed... be the pioneer of the change..
Kolkata is not this dirty also... It is very clean and awesome city.. Bring some positivity in life man.. Crazy
Kolkata has changed beyond recognition which has not been projected in this video. It should have also focused on Salt Lake city with sprawling Sector V humming with IT industries, Rajarhat New Town, Second Hooghly Bridge, Sister Nivedita Bridge to cite a few.

There's something about Kolkata that pulls me to go visit. And Yes I will be there soon god willing and maybe stay. I love India.

sir you are right i had been there and it is a dirty place but most of the indian cities like new delhi are way ahead and are ok if not fine
Unfortunately New Delhi is the world's most polluted city.

Kolkata is a city of heritage. Kolkata means city of culture.
I Love Kolkatta, no matter what people say about India in General is dirty but its a place where one should take examples from.. how people work hard to earn their living .. many places in Europe are dirty as well. It really pxxx me off when i see people writing how dirty the place is..so what.. its lovely place and cultural and has it all.. so ZIP up..

Good narration about Kolkatta. Have been there so many times but enjoyed getting a history on it :)
By the way, didnt see any travel guide on Bhutan. Anyone can share a link. Thanks
Let me say, within 25 mins. the travel videos generally show the landmarks of a certain city, not just the shopping malls and flyovers which stays at the backdrop. However, it is unfortunate that mostly the focused structures lay dilapidated and the areas nearby showed dirty, without any planned maintenance which in turn made our city look shabby
THE CULTURAL CAPITAL OF INDIA. THE CITY OF JOY, THE CITY OF FOOTBALL, THE CITY OF HAPPINESS, THE CITY EVERYONE FALLS IN LOVE WITH, PREVIOUS CAPITAL OF INDIA AND, OF COURSE THE BEST CITY MAHANAGAR OF INDIA(MAHANAGAR- THE NATIVE KOLKATA BENGALI WORD FOR MEGACITY) ALSO, A WELL-KNOWN VERY IMPORTANT CITY ALL OVER THE WORLD. #BENGALIINDIANCULTURE #KOLKATALOVE
Kalighat can be accessed by any religion. I have seen that with my own eyes. If you don't have a fact to degrade the city, just don't make it up!
... The West Bengal is most dense population... but...!, Nice videography, thanks to Expoza Travel

Our video about history of kolkata #loveyoukolkata
When u are jealous of someone u complain , when that someone suddenly shows a sign of unrest in this case political. You don't complain you start negative propaganda. Kolkata was beautiful is beautiful and it was soon be the jewel among the cities across India.
hey guys.......plz stop blaming each other & kolkata might just be a dirty place....SO WHAT ...we r that city which got the strongest culture in the world & we still didn't forgot our oldest culture of touching the feets of our elders and giving them respect by all means which I bet no country or any other city in the world had, has or never will have...So just b proud of yourself & also for being a bangali by heart & by mind......... Live & let live in peace, harmony, faith, honesty & love....!!!!
and also dont think kolkata is under developed it is also developed.

Funny guide....showing only former European settlements and churches, which Indians do not give much importance.. The author has his own agenda...
Nice video, but many more places are not covered.
Kolkata was one of the richest city in the South Asia till the mid 20th century. Thanks to the 38 years long communist rule. Now Kolkata is one of the worst in the world.
This has nothing to do with communist rule and this is not the worst city. Kolkata is the safest city with most helpful people, with the most secular enviroment, with lesser economic diversity as compared to other metro cities, On average, population of kolkata is more mordern and educated as compared to other metro cities. Europians will find a homely mindset among kolkata people However americans won't. Thats what makes kolkata different that other cities. This is a people powered tradition. You learnt nothing.
Yes. Thank you.
Thanks to the communists, Kolkata has been able to maintain its intellectuality, liberal thoughts, socialism, and the tag 'Cit of Joy'. Otherwise it could've been a hub of Trump supporting idiots. And if you have any problem with Kolkata, Get the f**k out of my city and go to Gujarat and stay at your Modi's fake American model.
Thanks to the Communist Kolkata is the most tolerant city in the World.
Loaded PGun jyoti and his goons destroyed West Bengal. Most of the top factories closed down alleging workers equality.
I returned home Kolkata after ten years in 2014 and Mamata in four years 2011 to 2014 had changed the very appearance of Kolkata.
Cleaner roads and AC buses. Lights and water even in the poorest areas. Communists can never do anything good. They are cancer on earth.
yo quiero conocer kalkuta. la suerte dira!!!!!!
me vivía en Bengala Occidental, Calcuta por unos años...maravillosa :)..Supuesto que fue comentado, Calcuta es un lugar para los Europeanos, todo al contrario a la gente de EE.UU que no se gusta jejeje no se porque! Por definitivo le refiero que conocerla y vivir por allí. Demás le encontraría unas gente que hablan castellano y otros idiomas europeanos jejeje :)
wow thats super

Indian people are hard working, intelligent , but unfortunately courpt elite class, and army officers consumed a heavy part of budget in the name defence,
weapons buying deals wich made by elite class , is the major source of heavy , courption by commission,
people needs food health facilities,
I don't care about westerners' lectures about Calcutta. I love my Calcutta
Awesome
After British and Communist rule the city lost its essence. What left is the ruins of the British slavery. Kolkata is just a dying city.
But Kolkata flourished only in British time. But selfish communists destroyed it.

We want a video of Bangladesh.

I want to visit a Synagouge in Kolkata
KOLKATA
really I want visit Kolkata
it was very squalid once
Why the govt don't improve this slum of city
Because Kolkata's Chief Minister our beloved Didi grew up in a slum and take pride of it, so she did not feel yet to create proper comprehensive rehabilitation for slum people. Earlier the leaders of communist party also spoke about the rights of poor people for last 30 years, so we are, kind of habituated to take pride saying "we are poor but honest", and do not want to be corrupted millionaire. We are happy to get a rs 8000 job and still call ourself a middle class rather to take risk of being an entrepreneur. Although our state produces the largest talent pool for the rest of India, our students from Industrial Entrepreneurship program look for jobs in other companies after graduation.
+Jaydeep Ghosh However, the city's exterior is changing fast under the new government after communist party left.
Such a dirty city u have. love from the great Bangladesh lol :p
@@batayangosh Have you seen Mumbai slums. Have you seen waterlogging in Mumbai. I have many Marathi friends live in Mumbai. They say your Kolkata is much better than our Mumbai.
@@ranajitbanerjee291 We should not compare with those who are inferior, should we?
Hi fellow peoples
Kalighat is not a shiva temple. Its a kaali temple
Okay I get it. This video was made to count and praise what all buildings the British have made in kolkata and how classy those all structures are. I get it dude. But why were they in kolkata again? Did we invite them to visit India and they were making buildings for us for charity purposes? Ohhh no, they came to steal our freedom, our home, our land and all the great things we had. RIGHT !! GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT AND RESPECT OUR CULTURE THAT WE ARE STILL ALLOWING YOU ALL IN OUR HOME
Uff please don't use that dreadful background music. Doesn't match with the vibe of Calcutta
Expedia drop this video or add Newtown, Vishwas Bangla, Salt Lake, Eden Garden, Royal Bengal ITC hotel and much more the street foods ..... You are only promoting your video not holding htbe culture literature of this ancient city .
few points. it seems from the video that whatever that has been created in kolkata has been created by westeners. there are plenty of other things to do in kolkata other than churches. like visit to belur mutt founded by swami vivekananda, dakhineswar temple, a walk by the ganges starting from princep ghat, visit to science city, a visit to jorasanko thakurbari - the house of Noble Lauriate Gurudeb Rabindronath Tagore, ferry ride on ganga, just to name some. And please note that kalighat temple allows non hindus also. & for ur kind info kolkata has a very very large population of middle class & not as u said very vary poor & very affluent. pl get ur facts correct before showing the city in a bad light.
IF A MAN HAS EVER BEEN 2 INDIA AND HE DOES NOT VISIT KOLKATA....ILL CALL HIM A DUMBO
Only u hv to show in kolkata is slums, poverty & clumsy market.... nobody shows developed kolkata, currently kolkata has one of the best infrastructure, show Rajarhat, salt lake, south kolkata.... i am not boasting coz i stay in kolkata, bt if u cn show the bad part of the city, thn good part has to shown.... & thanks to all western world ppl... they only picture out poverty in India... nobody ever shows developed India...... SO GUYS... IF U WANNA SEE WHT KOLKATA IS DO VISIT... U ILL BE ASHAMED THT SEEING THT UR STEREOTYPING WILL BE WRONG
Kolkata is the largest city not 2nd
Well , it's the 3rd largest city in India after Bombay and Delhi
@@abhishekchakraborty6492 Kolkata is very small by size Bangalore Hyderabad and Chennai are after delhi and Mumbai.
Hii

It's pollution infested dumpster that has suppressed the character of the city
What’s up with all the churches 👹
...
Showing only the buildings of European settlements and dirty streets alone do not project true Kolkata. It is a bullshit video. There is not even a mention about New Town.
Dirty city but it's foods are great. Jakaria street ki O. adrak ki jaiqa wala chaye. Ekdam se jehen me bath gaya.
Why can't you write in English.Not all Indians understand Urdu
Very poor city....( From Bangladesh 🇧🇩 🇧🇩
