Nana Ronger Dinguli

Probir Kumar Ghosh's 'Nana Ronger Dinguli' presents an enthralling journey through the intricate tapestry of the Bengali community's legacy in Delhi, tracing its path from 1840 to modern times. This rigorously investigated work intricately unpacks the socio-religious dynamics and cultural metamorphosis of Bengali Hindus who journeyed from Calcutta to the lively corridors of Old Delhi and subsequently, New Delhi. Ghosh crafts an evocative narrative, capturing the community’s evolution, commencing with the establishment of the Delhi Kali Bari in 1840 and advancing through the formation of educational establishments and social associations. The manuscript provides a compelling perspective on the evolution of Delhi, transitioning from the fortified confines of Shahjahanabad to the illustrious Lutyens' Delhi, illustrating how the Bengali populace not only adapted but flourished amid these shifts. Spanning 322 pages enriched with 90 extraordinary photographs, 'Nana Ronger Dinguli' serves as an indispensable treasure trove for those fascinated by the cultural tapestry of India's capital and the lasting imprint of its Bengali denizens.
