Once upon a time, 12% of the World’s GDP came from this part of North-East India: Bengal. Merchants came from across the world and settled to access silk, muslin, chintz, indigo, jute, tea and spices produced here. 18th Century’s European battles were fought to control the rivers here, as controlling the trade of Bengal meant controlling the world. 19th century was the one of Bengal Renaissance with some distinctive architecture encompassing Greek, Roman or French features. Today Bengal is a place of many festivals, where communities and religions colive, where intellectual debate last over endless cups of chai. This is the extraordinary history of Bengal that our hosts want to share with you through this journey.
