Natural reflection of one of the gate of
the Raj Bhavan (Governor House) on Hindustan Motor showroom. During the
British Raj it was official residence of Governor General - Load
Wellesley
Calcutta was a British creation.
They founded it, occupied it, build it, regulated it and used its
people
European style Neo-classical architectural
buildings - Governors House, clubs, government offices, churches and
museum reflect their colonial antecedents
Even post-independence effort has not been able to entirely obliterate
the mark
left by the British Raj. Companies still use the word 'Imperial' in their names
and streets like Shakespeare Sarani, Middleton Row, Russel
Street and
many more reminds us of British presence
