Kolkata

Kolkata

Kolkata / koʊlkɑːtɑː /, connu historiquement en anglais comme Calcutta / kælkʌtə /, est la capitale de l'état indien du Bengale occidental. Situé sur la rive est de la rivière Hooghly, c'est le principal centre commercial, culturel et éducatif de l'Inde orientale, tandis que le port de Kolkata est le plus ancien port d'exploitation de l'Inde et son seul grand port fluvial. À partir de 2011, la ville avait 4,5 millions de résidents; L'agglomération urbaine, qui comprend la ville et ses banlieues, abrite environ 14,1 millions, ce qui en fait la troisième région métropolitaine la plus populeuse de l'Inde. À partir de 2008, sa production économique, mesurée par le produit intérieur brut, s'est classée troisième parmi les villes sud-asiatiques, derrière Mumbai et Delhi. En tant que ville métropolitaine croissante dans un pays en voie de développement, Kolkata affronte une pollution urbaine importante, la congestion du trafic, la pauvreté, la surpopulation et d'autres problèmes logistiques et socio-économiques. À la fin du XVIIe siècle, les trois villages précédant Kolkata étaient régis par le Nawab du Bengale sous la suzeraineté de Mughal.

Kolkata /koʊlˈkɑːtɑː/, known historically in English as Calcutta /kælˈkʌtə/, is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal. Located on the east bank of the Hooghly river, it is the principal commercial, cultural, and educational centre of East India, while the Port of Kolkata is India's oldest operating port as well as its sole major riverine port. As of 2011, the city had 4.5 million residents; the urban agglomeration, which comprises the city and its suburbs, was home to approximately 14.1 million, making it the third-most populous metropolitan area in India. As of 2008, its economic output as measured by gross domestic product ranked third among South Asian cities, behind Mumbai and Delhi. As a growing metropolitan city in a developing country, Kolkata confronts substantial urban pollution, traffic congestion, poverty, overpopulation, and other logistic and socioeconomic problems. In the late 17th century, the three villages that predated Kolkata were ruled by the Nawab of Bengal under Mughal suzerainty.

9 CITATIONS EN ANGLAIS AVEC «CALCUTTA»

Citations et phrases célèbres avec le mot Calcutta.

1

Pico Iyer

The poverty one still sees in America today is more shocking to me than anything I have seen in Ethiopia or Calcutta or Manila, and has made me, as someone living in a society of great wealth and someone who's never had to worry about the next meal, think seriously about what universal responsibility really means.

2

Zubin Mehta

In Bombay, we have a fine concert hall. I think it is high time we built venues in Delhi and Calcutta, not only for western music, but also Indian music. It doesn't matter which party is in power; don't you think the capital of India should have a concert hall?

3

Bharati Mukherjee

I flew into a small airport surrounded by cornfields and pastures, ready to carry out the two commands my father had written out for me the night before I left Calcutta: Spend two years studying creative writing at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, then come back home and marry the bridegroom he selected for me from our caste and class.

4

Bharati Mukherjee

I had never walked on the street alone when I was growing up in Calcutta, up to age 20. I had never handled money. You know, there was always a couple of bodyguards behind me, who took care if I wanted... I needed pencils for school, I needed a notebook, they were the ones who were taking out the money. I was constantly guarded.

5

Bharati Mukherjee

As a bookish child in Calcutta, I used to thrill to the adventures of bad girls whose pursuit of happiness swept them outside the bounds of social decency. Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina lived large in my imagination. The naughty girls of Hollywood films flirted and knew how to drive.

6

Bharati Mukherjee

Lepers were a common sight all over India and in every part of Calcutta, but extending help beyond dropping a coin or two into their rag-wrapped stumps was not. As a child I was convinced even touching a spot a leper had rubbed against would lead to infection.

7

Taslima Nasrin

I was well acquainted with the Calcutta literary circle since I was 17, when I lived in Bangladesh and published and edited a little magazine called 'Sejuti,' for which young poets from both Bengals wrote. If you look at my life, there is no question of using anyone for anything. I have only got banned, blacklisted and banished.

8

Frederick Pollock

Have you ever found any logical reason why mutual promises are sufficient consideration for one another (like the two lean horses of a Calcutta hack who can only just stand together)? I have not.

9

Donald Wuerl

Confession is something we will never outgrow, even if we become the saints God made us to be. Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa of Calcutta were revered even during their lifetime; but both made frequent use of the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
