Kolkata, known in the past as Calcutta, is India's seat of culture and intellect, because of the fact that it is home to generations of writers, film experts, and Nobel Prize winners. Rabindranath Tagore is a Kolkatan who won a Nobel Prize for his poems. The famous philosopher Ramakirshna is also a Kolkatan.
Just like any other Indian city, Kolkata has slum areas, but it also houses several shopping malls, great restaurants, and modern houses.
