Answer 1

During the British rule, in Calcutta, hundreds of people were herded together in one room, hence leading to the death of many due to suffocation. The narrator compares the crowd to the Black Hole of Calcutta saying that so many people who had come to see Ranga, would have turned the place into a black hole if they had all gone inside.
