The world witnessed hundreds of death on a daily basis. In the absence of any vaccine for COVID-19, the only option is to prevent the virus from spreading through social distancing as announced by the Indian Government. In its effort to prevent the virus from spreading into the community, the State Government declared a total lock rd in West Bengal for a period of seven days starting 23 March, 2020. This was followed by a nationwide lock down order from the Central Government for a period of 14 days, which was further extended to 21 days. This lock down can be extended even further depending on the situations. As of now, the future is very uncertain. Field level activities of every project of Kolkata Mary Ward Social Centre have been immensely affected owing to the global pandemic. As a socially responsible Organization, KMWSC has to take every step that it can prevent the spread of COVID-19. To create social distancing, classes at our Brick Field Schools in Nadia, North & South 24 Parganas have to be suspended. Our Multi Activity Centres (MAC) all over Kolkata has also been shut down.

ORCID: 0000-0002-8577-4878. Email: [email protected] Abstract Indian travel writings in English exclusively on Kolkata have been rare even though tourist guidebooks such as the Lonely Planet have dedicated sections on the city. In such a scenario, Amit Chaudhuri’s Calcutta: Two Years in the City (2016) and Bishwanath Ghosh’s Longing Belonging: An Outsider at Home in Calcutta (2014) stand out as exceptions. Both these narratives, written by probashi (expatriate) Bengalis, represent Kolkata though a bifocal lens. On the one hand, their travels are a journey towards rediscovering their Bengali roots and on the other, their representation/construction of the city of Kolkata is as hard-boiled as any seasoned traveller. The contention of this paper is that both Chaudhuri and Ghosh foreground certain selected/pre- determined signifiers that are common to Kolkata for the purpose of their representation which are instrumental in constructing the ‘gaze’ of their readers towards the city. This process of ‘gaze’ construction is studied by applying John Urry and Jonas Larsen’s conceptualization of the ‘tourist gaze’.

I think it would be advisable for me to state at the outset that these reminiscences are entirely devoid of sensational elements, in order to prevent any possible disappointment and remove from the minds of those, and I know several, who have conceived the idea that I am about to disclose matters that, as far as I am concerned, must for ever lie buried in the past. There are certain startling incidents still fresh in my memory that I could relate, but they would be out of place in a work of this nature.

  • Major Attractions in Kolkata Kolkata&Rsquo
    Major Attractions In Kolkata by newsdesk Kolkata’s lungs are the vast expanse of lawns called the Maidan, bordered by the Hooghly river at one end and the elegant boulevard, Chowringhee, at the other. Towering over the northern end of the maidan is the Shahid Minar, a 48m column erected in 1828 in an intriguing combination of Turkish, Egyptian and Syrian architectural styles.Around the maidan are many of Calcutta’s historical landmarks -- the magnificent Fort William still out of bounds for visitors, St. John’s Church, the Royal Calcutta Turf Club and Eden Gardens, which has a cricket stadium to seat 100,000 persons - a site where many a great sporting battle has been contested. Eden GardensHigh Court At the southern end of the Calcutta Maidan is the imposing white marble Victoria Memorial, built by the British in 1921, modelled on the Taj Mahal. It is a treasure trove of Raj Relics, offers tree-lined walks in splendid parks, 'lakes' and houses a number of statues and busts of eminent people including that of Queen Victoria. The exhibits include paintings, manuscripts, firearms, statues, lithographs and furniture. The memorial was Lord Curzon's idea. No other location in Calcutta has more pleasing or more amply open surroundings. To the east of the Memorial is St Paul’s Cathedral, one of the most important churches of India with its impressive stained glass windows. The National Library in the stately Belvedere House, the erstwhile residence of the Lieutanant governor of Bengal, has the largest collection of books (one million) in India.

  • Betting on People: Bookmaking at the Delhi Racecourse
    9 Betting on people Bookmaking at the Delhi racecourse Stine Simonsen Puri Introduction A loud bell rings and in the background I can hear the voice of a commentator with a British accent announcing that the horses have left the stalls, and are off and running. I am stuck in the midst of a throng of Indian men, crammed together in front of a bookmaker’s booth, eager to bet on the horse that has emerged as the favorite. The odds on the horse have come down to ‘80 paisa’, or 80/100, which means that the potential returns are relatively small. Still, the men in the group are determined to bet on this particular horse and do not at any point turn their heads to the television screens to see how the horse is running: their focus is on the odds and the betting booth. At the Delhi racecourse where I conducted long-term fieldwork between 2009 and 2010, it is not the horses which matter to bettors, but the odds. I begin by describing how the odds inside the betting ring emerge from the interaction between official bookmakers, unofficial bookmakers and bettors, from the van- tage point of an employee of a bookmaking firm. The bookmaker takes bets at odds that are constantly adjusted and written on chalkboards in front of the booths inside the betting ring in the 20 minutes before a race. By describing the action that takes place in the betting ring in detail, I argue that the odds are formed by the idea that certain individuals have the ability to manipulate the future.
