City in a mouth hugli. Four areas

you are: the City in a mouth hugli

The city can be divided into four areas with strongly pronounced specific lines which accurately reflect a class association of the population living there. Northern part of Calcutta is a kingdom of those who was bypassed by all blessings of a modern civilisation, - working, small employees, the paupers frequently not having any means of subsistence and huddling in overpopulated hovels. Balligandzh - a suburb of so-called middle class. Here respectably there live the large retired officials, known lawyers and doctors. The centre of Calcutta is first of all business quarters of a city. And at last, the south of Calcutta where the riches and wastefulness almost near to the sea of poverty shocking it reign. The owners of English firms known all country monopolists, bankers, nouveau riches live in the magnificent country houses rolling in magnificent greens of tropical gardens. The ladies living in these quarters, try to outdo each other beauty sari, quantity of ornaments which they string on themselves. And fathers of families and their sons-habitues of rich restaurants and the former English clubs which for a long time have lost former respectability, but satisfying vanity to whom they were inaccessible during colonial times: Indians once there did not start up. And now rich Indians idle in bars, arrange magnificent dinners, play a pool or tennis, float in pools, or, having collapsed in wicker chairs, sipping beer, conduct lazy conversation on well-groomed, carefully cut lawns. When, as writer Dzhoffrej Marhaus has figuratively told in the book about Calcutta, ' somewhere is direct behind a high wall by which they were fenced off, bubbles and all groans the worst in this city '.
