Since I’ve never been to Calcutta, sorry Kolkata, I never had the slightest of the slight ideas, what the bhadralok find in the dreary old statesman….now after visiting the city, I have a fairly rough idea..basically the city and the paper are sort of like each other—decaying, rotting, living in the past, going high on the past glory and yes both are also utterly useless to most people on this planet..
Enough said..the paper has decent coverage of bengal/kolkata..but lacks in everything else…they also have a even worse edition in Delhi which only Delhi bongs read..ie CR Park…as for the rest u can try it out for nice culture shock
