Kolkata is indeed the blending pot of the world, a haven for academics, scientists,
artists, the research students of the human race. All types and sizes of
sample groups are available in this one city for any kind of
humanity-oriented study. Nowhere else will you see such a fascinating congregation
of extremes and everything in between: the rich and the poor, the famous
and the unknown, the educated and the
ignorant, the powerful and the weak, the modern and the ancient, the fast and the slow,
the dark-complexioned and the fair-complexioned, the liberals and the conservatives,
all literally share the city with each other.
