atho ghat kotha (an unfolding enigma)

had events been inscribed upon the steps, how many untold tales of how many bygone days could we have read upon them” – rabindranath tagore in his short story ‘ghater kotha’. the countless ghats of kolkata remain cloaked in silence, are absent from history books and public memory. statistics alone testify how integral those steps by river once were to kolkata’s civic and cultural life.
