Ok i will not take too long, coming on point, Kolkata is also known as Calcutta, is the capital of Indian state of Westbengal and it's located in eastern India on the east bank side of river hoogly. It was a colonial city developed by the British East India Company and then by the British Empire. Earlier Kolkata is the capital of British East India Company, until 1911 when the capital was relocated to Delhi. Even kolkata had shown a great revolutionary part on the struggle towards the Independence of India such as Ram Mohan Roy, Rabindranath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda, Sister Nividita, Subash Chandra Bose etc. These all are the name of those respected person who where known by their struggle towards their Country (India) there are lots of thing's which make Kolkata not only a city, it gives a felling of heritage place not only for local people's it is also famous towards tourist also.
