About

India

There are over 1 million homeless in Calcutta alone.

The capital of West Bengal is Calcutta. The name Calcutta is derived from Kali (Hindu goddess of destruction). The official language of West Bengal is Bengali (85.8%). The minority languages include Santali (2.6%), Urdu (2.1%) and Nepali (1.3%). Majority of the population consists of Hindus (75.1%) and Muslims (23.4%). Christians comprise only about six- tenths of a percent.

When India gained independence, Bengal was divided into West and East based on Hindu/ Muslim religion. Later East Bengal became now known Bangladesh. Due to this partition, millions of refugees poured into the city of Calcutta. Today 13 million people live in Calcutta, which makes it the world’s lowest standard of living with vast slums. Now Calcutta has over one million homeless according to the recent statistics.
