What's in a name? Kolkata

I'm still struggling to remember not to call it Calcutta. And what happens to Cal? Does it become Kol? And why the name change anyway? History and general facts about Kolkata

Whatever you call it, Calcutta is difficult to describe. One website calls it
"A city of love and warmth, sorrow and despair, dreams and hopes, poverty and squalor, grandeur and glory, Calcutta is compelling, effervescent, teeming with life and traditions a medley of moods, styles, cultures, politics, industry and commerce."
