In which direction did sisir drive after leaving elgin road?
Answers
Answer:
Bidhan Roy was visiting 38/2 Elgin Road where my father Sisir had set up the Netaji Research Bureau in 1957. Roy suddenly turned to him and said: ‘Esho he, ei purono barita bhenge phele ekta bahutal bari banai. (Come, let’s pull down this old house and build a highrise).’ Roy had just presided over the demolition of the beautiful Senate House of Calcutta University with its exquisite Corinthian columns for the construction of the matchbox like Centenary Building a few years later. Fortunately, Netaji Bhawan lives on,” Sugata Bose said at a discussion on Humanizing Heritage, Connecting Histories on Friday. The convention was held by Bengal chapters of Indian Institute of Architects and Confederation of Real Developers Association of India.
