Kolkata

Kolkata is the one of the most important cities in India.
Kolkata was a classic example of a city that had little stature in the early 21st century that emerged as a major global city by the mid 21st century.
The dominant language in Kolkata remained Bengali although most of the population was also fluent in Hindi or English, a sign of India's diversity. Kolkata was a center of the Bengali language radio and film industry and exercised cultural influence over neighboring Bangladesh. Kolkata gained international recognition as a culture, finance, education and technology center in the 21st century and became rivals with Mumbai.
