Originated rural Bengal, rooted in the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny as a satirical, low-cost toy representing British soldiers. Handcrafted from sun-dried palm leaves, these puppets are designed with moving parts, often depicting soldiers, gymnasts, or dancers.

Lets Question ourselves
what will happen if TMC again forms government this time
we all really dont discuss how worse are the condition of all rge colleges and schools are in kolkata
our state technical university is one of the worst filled with scams
our health system is filled with scams
school exams, job exam literally for gettiing the most simplest thing we need to pay to the party goons, officees or political netas
and I'm not in favor of any political party and speaking this things
roads are worst suddenly they started digging every part just before elections.
1/3 mp mla's are celebrities who just want to be relevant
are we bengalis becoming dumb ?
have we lost the spirit of questioning?
raising voices against what's wrong
don't forget when India was under British rule we protested so much,
don't forget we faced famines, partition bit we still stood above everything
we're not weak
start questioning
or else after few years half of us have to leave our praner Shohor, State to work on any foreign states faving gradual taunts and everything

Quiet Saturday Night Dinner With The Folks At Mocambo.
I got a classic Ham steak for the mains, with peppery mushroom sauce.
And for dessert, I got a baked Alaska.
For starters, we went for spinach-stuffed cheese pillows, asparagus on toast and devilled peppered crabs.
The Folks chose to stick to an Indian affair for their mains.
All in all, Mocambo never disappoints.
This quality of food, at this price point, is only possible in Kolkata.

Urgent Help Needed for My 73-Year-Old Mother Who May Need a Pacemaker After Stroke Complications
Approved Moderator Post
Hello Reddit Family ,
I’m Suparna Maiti, seeking urgent help for my mother, Ratna Maiti (73). She suddenly lost consciousness on 17th January 2026 and was rushed to Eskag Sanjeevani Hospital.
All medical documents, hospital bills, and reports are available for verification : - https://drive.google.com/drive/u/4/folders/1s9ngBABj4G7JfvbtKsMsXX8iz6jr43xa

She previously suffered a major stroke in 2023 and is partially paralyzed. Doctors now found dangerous heart rhythm issues, low sodium, kidney stress, and inflammation. She may urgently need a permanent pacemaker to prevent another stroke or cardiac arrest.
We’ve already spent nearly ₹30,00,000 on her treatment and have exhausted all savings. We now need ₹20,00,000 to continue her care.
Any help or sharing would mean everything to us.
Thank you for your kindness and prayers.
--Suparna Maiti (Daughter and Primary Caregiver)

TCS gito bitan
Does anyone know if there's any facility to keep bags or belongings at tcs gito bitan, sector 5? I have an exam there on sunday and I'm not sure if we're allowed to carry stuff inside the center or if there is any storage option available.
would really appreciate some info on this from someone who's been there before
