From colonial-era narratives to local folklore and political movements, the collection is a treasure trove of knowledge. The stall caters to very different audience. Professors, Educators or History enthusiasts are the main consumers from this stall. “We believe history should be accessible to everyone, that is why we have curated a selection of books that highlight the uniqueness of every corner of Bengal,” said the stall owner. Many of these books are rare or not easily available in mainstream bookstores. The stall also features biographies of key historical figures, memoirs, and books on Bengal’s art, architecture, and freedom movement.
