Who is this?




 

I saw this interesting statute on my way in the city of Kolkata. 

Just had the time for a quick click as i was passing by in my car. A man with his hands on his chin in a sad thinking pose. Wonder who he is? Is he a Brit from the colonial past or a Bengali from recent past ? Is he a philosopher, a politician??

May be on my next trip I should checkout...

  1. Hello :=)
    Without reading what is written under the small bust sculpture it's impossible to know, but at a guess I would think that because of it's location, perhaps the man in question had something to do with the community, a philanthropist perhaps!
    Thank you for passing by, have a good day.

  3. At first glance, I thought it was a statue of Shivaji Ganesan—a look from his early days in cinema.
