Publisher's Synopsis
The mosques of Calcutta occupy an integral part of the city's religious ambience. This book is the result of visits to the mosques and personal interaction and interviews with the imams, descendants and other authorities of the mosques. The major population of Calcutta has been the Hindus and the Muslims who have been living here in mutual trust and brotherhood. Prayer houses of different faiths including mosques came up in the city in close proximity to negate the distorted pictures of religious intolerance. The history of the mosques in Calcutta will speak for itself to testify.
