Politics and culture are organically related in the city of
Calcutta. The period (1940s to 1950s), was chaotic and turbulent,
yet, this was also a time of significant creativity in literature,
art, films and music in the city. This is an unusual feature of any
city but is interestingly characteristic of Calcutta. The
originality of the work lies in blending poetry with historical
writing, retaining the essence of both forms against the backdrop
of the tumultuous events of the critical decades, as against the
entire historical period of a city. This historical method together
with twenty-one papers give the reader a sense of the pulse of this
complex city 'emerging creatively and chaotically from its colonial
past'.
