Скачать или смотреть When Kolkata was the Tech hub.

Before Bangalore coded India’s future,
Kolkata was already computing it.

India’s first steps into technology didn’t begin in glass towers they began in Bengal.
But then came a narrative that changed everything:
You don’t grow the cake. You only divide it.

Computers weren’t seen as creators of opportunity,
but as threats to clerks, to jobs, to the familiar order.
So progress slowed. Not because of lack of intellect,
but because fear replaced imagination.

This isn’t nostalgia.
It’s a reminder of what was and what could have been.
