Bow Barracks Kolkatas ANGLO-INDIAN Community On Christmas

#bowbarracks #angloindian #kolkata
Today I am going to talk about the Anglo Indian community living in Bow Barracks Kolkata. They are the descendants of British and Indians who married during the colonization period in Kolkata. This is the last big community of them and we are going in to check it out.

Love your videos as they are so honest, and you are so tolerant of all cultures and food and you are not afraid to try anything. Happy travels and blogging - be safe!

    English is not our Mothers Tongue. But we can try to speak English. If anybody can not speak properly his or her Mothers Tongue it will be shamefull but if anyone can not speak English properly where is funny on that? Try to respect people you British Bulldog. It is DD BANGLA not DD ENGLISH. It does not mean that I hate English language.I love English language and always try to learn it. But it does not mean that I should feel shy if I can not speak or write English perfectly. If a German don't know English he never fell Shy, Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel can not speak English. If a Russian can not speak English properly never feel shy, Russian President Vladimir Putin don't know English. If a Spanish speaking person can't speak English properly he never fell shy, Leo Messi can't speak English. If a Portuguese speaking person cannot speak English he never feel shy. Neymar Jr. can't speak English. If a French can't speak English he never feel shy. If a Chinese can't speak English he never feel shy. Then why does Indians? They does feel shy because of the status symbol made by the society of two hundred years slavery. Fuck this status hypocrisy.

It’s like seeing Calcutta through your lens, and remembering what I love about the place! You are spot on when you said that Calcutta doesn’t like to change, it remains the same! Yes there are lot of things to improve, but the love for football, biriyani, gulab jamun, fish, sense of community and occasionally a little surprise of a home made ginger wine from the amazing Anglo indian community makes me remember my childhood ! The best thinks about the place is the diversity ! Thank you and your channel needs to get to a million subscribers fast !!

    im a chinese indian and i grew up in bow barracks in the 4th unit ground floor facing Nalanda Udyan Park but left 58 years ago with my family to canada. at the time there werent any Christmas event like its now (at least i dont recall), nice that they are doing that. as im getting on age I been searching for my roots online but had no idea the neighborhood i grew up in was famous, they even made a movie there. I've seen a few videos but i must say your coverage is the best, interviewing the vendors, the residents and even going into their home has brought back alot of memories. i now want to go back for a visit and enjoy Christmas there. many thanks.

    Anglo Indian in the US. I am proud of my roots. My family is from Calcutta and Asansol. Did my dna test and I am the perfect blend of the term Eurasian…that term was coined for us initially. My great grand parents worked in the coal mines and also served in the British military. Have photos of great-great-great-great-grandfather (early 1800s) in Lahore. He was a merchant with his English wife. Then his kiddo, who all the boys in the family resemble. He was in the military. Looking at all the old photos from the 1800s and trying to understand how they lived their lives away from their home and everything they knew. They went on a wild and unknown adventure and now we have roots all over the globe. Thank you for this!

    Bow Barracks was originally a housing set up for American soldiers stationed in British occupied Kolkata during the period of WW2. The American soldiers didn't want to live there (i forget why) and then it was passed down later as residence for the Anglo Indians. Thank you for covering this important part of history.

I was born in Bangalore and growing up there in the 80's and 90's, I had a lovely time interacting with a few Anglo-Indians during Christmas, visiting churches, singing carols, trying their home-made wine...this video brought back some pleasant memories.

    Hey Carlos from your English Subscriber brilliant video mate, the Bow Barracks Anglo-Indian community is a proud one, not many people could capture what you did. Though i will say this most of their British ancestors weren't military leaders or engineers, but blue-collar workers who settled in India for a better life. Their food and drink reflects their Anglo roots, sausages that looked like cumberlands and ginger wine love it, can't wait to go to Bow Barracks and Drink wine, eat BBQ and go to Anglican midnight mass with my Anglo-Indian brothers and sisters.

    ✨🎄Thanks Carlos for giving us a glimpse into our own Community's celebration of Christmas. I have yet to see Calcutta but if I ever I do get a chance post COVID to travel to India in the future I will put it on our family's itenary. We emmigrated to Australia from our home town in Bangalore. Your story about home made wines took me down memory lane to some cherished memories of my dad. He was a champ at making home made grape wine, sherry, OT which is a type of ginger wine etc. Christmas cake and pudding, rose cookies, sweet coconut puffs, coconut sweet or burfi, kul kuls, Dhol Dhol frosted diamond cuts and halwas were some of the traditional regular home made favourite sweets in Eurasian and Anglo Indian homes at Christmas time. Carol singing was yet another cherished Anglo Indian activity during the Christmas season. Thanks again for bringing us a snippet of life in a community that has and continues to cherish its traditions over the years. Enjoyed your post. Cheers and Good Luck. 🍀 Geraldine Gonsalvez
