For an extended period, the history of ‘Sahebsubo’ (European colonialists), ‘Rajagaja’ (Feudal Lords), ‘Bhadralok’ (The gentry), and ‘Babu’ (The gentlemen) has been documented, chronicling the evolution of this city since the colonial era. However, the narratives have predominantly focused on the affluent class, neglecting the marginalized, impoverished, and the underprivileged who congregated here, along with the criminals and miscreants drawn by the city’s development. This book unveils the often overlooked history of these individuals, shedding light on a concealed chapter of the city’s past.
