College Street in Kolkata is the throbbing home of a maze of old book shops and stalls and this traditional place of learning and trading hosts the largest non-trading book fair in the world every year. But encroaching globalisation, in the form of a modern and fancy book mall being built opposite, casts a shadow over this traditional and treasured place. Is it a threat or an opportunity for the traditional book traders? While India embraces globalisation, what does it mean for ordinary people and the intellectual traditions of this city?

Location of College Street at Kolkata
It is placed between Bowbazar and Mahatma Gandhi Road.
History of College Street of Kolkata
The inception of the name ‘College Street’ goes back to the time when The Hindu College was first established in 1817. The Hindu College was the brainchild of David Hare, who wanted to set up ‘an institution for giving a liberal education to the children of the members of the Hindu Community.’ This noble idea of the British man found admirable acceptance from eminent figures of the Hindu community. Babu Buddinath Mukherjee along with the support of the Chief Justice, Sir Edward Hyde East, and some European and Hindu gentlemen helped Hare to establish the college. With unanimous approbation finally Hare successfully established the Hindu College with twenty scholars. Thus, the street on which the Hindu college was located came to be known as College Street under the Governorship of Lord Wellesley. Lord Wellesley first introduced the construction of planned roads in Calcutta. It was under him that College Street formerly known as The Great Arterial Road found its name.
Coffee House
The famed Coffee House is located at College Street. It has been the rendezvous place of many illustrious and notable personalities like Rabindranath Tagore, Subhas Chandra Bose, Satyajit Ray, Manna Dey, Amartya Sen, Mrinal Sen, Shashi Kapoor and Aparna Sen etc. Many talented geniuses have penned down pieces of lyrics, poems, story scripts or exchanged brimming ideas related to the world of art and culture in this cafeteria. The Coffee House is a part of the Indian Coffee House restaurant chain in India, run by a series of worker co-operative societies. Presently, the place is regularly thronged by students from nearby premiere institutions, literary intellectuals and enthusiastic tourists.

COLLEGE STREET - THE MOST ALLURING DESTINATION FOR INTELLECTUALS
Located near the most renowned academic institutions like Presidency College, Kolkata University, Kolkata Medical College, and the Sanskrit College, 'College Street' in Kolkata has made its reputation as the most alluring destination for intellectuals.
College Street: The book hub of Kolkata
College Street, in the eastern Indian metropolis of Kolkata, remains a favourite for visitors and locals looking to stack up their libraries.With stalls dating back over 150 years, the old world charm of this hub of books, locally known as the boipara or book lane, is undeniable.Second-hand classics, rare editions and everyday academic books can be found in boipara, which at one point was also the kernel for the intellectuals of the city.There goes a saying in Kolkata, If you cannot find a book in College Street, there is hardly any chance you'd find it anywhere else in the world.
