Esplanade is not just a crossing point in Kolkata—it is a living archive of the city’s colonial past. As you walk through Esplanade today, echoes of the British Raj still linger. Kolkata's Esplanade also reflects the English lifestyle that once shaped Calcutta—bookshops, clubs, Cinema Halls and restaurants where British officers, Anglo-Indians, and educated Bengalis mingled. It was here that Western education, law, and urban culture slowly blended with local traditions, giving birth to the unique cosmopolitan spirit of the city.
Today, amid buses, trams, street vendors, and hurried footsteps, Esplanade still stands as a silent witness to colonial ambition, cultural exchange, and the making of modern Kolkata. A walk here is not just a stroll—it is a journey through history.
