Anglo Indians have today moved from traditional places of residence like Elliot Road and Rippon Street to South Kolkata localities like Picnic Gardens and Behala.

For a lot of them, this change of residence signifies the long and often difficult journey that made since 1947.

And then there’s the Chinese in Kolkata’s very own China Town – Tangra. Here Monica Liu is not only one of the most influential Chinese women around but also a cook par excellence.

Her ancestors came to Kolkata decades ago to set up businesses here. Today Monica is a world traveler – but returns to Kolkata every time.

“Saying this is home and no place is as wonderful as Kolkata,” says Resident, Tangra, Monica Liu.
