EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Chitpore Road in Calcutta, India, as it appeared in 1935. The scene is a vibrant tableau of activity, with horses and their carts dominating the narrow, dusty road. The traffic in this bustling Indian city moves at a leisurely pace, as horse-drawn carriages and carts loaded with goods make their way through the crowded streets. The historical significance of this image lies in its documentation of a time before the automobile revolutionized transportation. Horses were the primary mode of transport for people and goods in Calcutta, a regional hub of commerce and culture. The city's streets were filled with the sounds of clattering hooves and the cries of vendors hawking their wares. Chitpore Road, located in the heart of Calcutta, was a major thoroughfare that connected different parts of the city. The photograph captures the essence of the area, with its mix of traditional Indian architecture, bustling markets, and the daily life of the people. As you gaze at this image, you can almost hear the cacophony of sounds that filled the air – the clanging of metal carts, the chatter of vendors, and the occasional call to prayer from a nearby mosque. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Calcutta, a city that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. This evocative image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in Indian history, culture, or urban development. It offers a unique perspective on a bygone era and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our historical and cultural heritage for future generations.
