Road and street names often have a story to tell. In Calcutta, given its long continuous
history, even more so. One of those streets is the curiously named “A” in Baghbazar
in North Calcutta.
The street name refers to an trench approximately 5 km long trench that was excavated
in 1742 along what was then the northern extremity of Calcutta.
Its purpose was to form a perimeter around the city of Calcutta, to protect the British from Bargis. Bargis
never did attack Calcutta, in all probability being paid off by the British. This trench was entirely funded
by taxes paid by Indians
Eventually the trench was filled up and partly paved in 1799 was made into what is now
“B”.

It was 1971, India were facing England at the Oval. In India, a Hindu festival was going on. Meanwhile at
the Oval Indian fans did something very strange. They brought something/someone, named Bella in the
stadium which we usually do not encounter in sports stadiums now a days. They brought him from
Chessington. And this very character had something to do with the Hindu festival. So basically, I am saying
that both the things can be correlated. Please Give me the name of that something/someone. And which
festival is it correlated with?
Talking about the same match, Chandrasekhar Bhagwat, a leg spinner of that squad recalls that he was
planning to bowl a googly to John Edrich, an English batter, But Dilip Sardesai shouted, “Hey Chandra,
bowl him X.”
Considering Dilip’s understanding of the sport, he did so and got Edrich out. Chandrasekhar’s 6 for 38
spell helped India win that match.
Now of course my question to you is about X. But I must tell you that X is nothing related to a form of
bowling. It is rather a famous animal which was extremely popular in a certain genre of sports.
Identify X and what kind of animal it is.

X was mainly an island filled with mangrove swamps in the 1700s. The Koli
community who were fishermen by profession moved to this island when it became
liveable before late 19th century.
Though in 18th century the British built a fort here which goes by the name of Kala
Quila to safeguard their territory from Portuguese invasions.
In the latter half of 1880s the tannery industry shifted here. And A certain Gujrati
community named Kumbhars came to this place making it a major hub of pottery.
The increasing job opportunities of this place attracted the Muslim leather workers
of Tamil Nadu and the embroiders of Uttar Pradesh to settle here.
But of late this place is attracting a whole lot of foreigner tourists for a very weird
reason. So, it can be classified as Y Tourism. It is believed that this place has
become the most popular tourist destination in India surpassing Taj Mahal.

A famous Bengali poet in his book “My Discovery of X and Others” recalls the funeral
of X in such a way that, “When the dead body arrived, only a few people gathered.
Our young shoulders, being very strong, we carried the body in phases. In my whole
life I touched his body only that time. And it was unresponsive. Kyaoratala
Crematorium was not equipped with electric furnace till then. So, a funeral pyre was
prepared for his last rituals. While his body was burning, we, a few, were continuously
reciting his poems and it seemed that a competition was going on regrading who had
memorized the most number of poems of him. It was the first time in my life that I
smoked a cigarette. Owing to inexperience in smoking, I was coughing a lot. And my
eyes were filled with tears because of the smoke.”

scorching heats of Delhi during summers was Kashmir.
It was when the Mughal King Jahangir visited Kashmir that X became popular to the world.
The king was introduced to several Kashmiri cuisines. He liked most of them but that this
became his favourite and was later included in the royal menu.
One most common misconception about that dish is that it is inspired by the Mughal Cuisines.

Kashmir was more connected with X cuisines.

This 71.2 cm high and 172 cm long mechanical toy features a life-sized wooden animal mauling
a European soldier. When activated, the mechanism produces sounds to mimic the soldier's
cries of distress, while the animal emits roaring noises. The figure of the soldier is depicted in
British military attire, symbolizing the defeat of British forces by X during battles in the 18th
century.

contains a concealed compartment that houses a bellows mechanism to generate the sounds,
which are then channelled through a series of pipes to create the roaring and the soldier's cries.
