Crónicas de Howrah
Howrah began as a cluster of villages on the Hooghly River's west bank, but its fate changed with the 1787 foundation of the Bengal Engineering College (now IIEST Shibpur). The city grew explosively as a rail and industrial hub after the 1854 opening of Howrah Station, India's oldest and busiest railway terminus. The iconic Rabindra Setu (Bally Bridge, 1943) and Vidyasagar Setu (1992) now link it to Kolkata, while its contemporary identity remains gritty, industrial, and defined by tramp steamers, jute mills, and a sprawling market. Howrah still feels like the working-class engine room of the Kolkata metropolitan region, less polished but more direct.
