Calcutta is the anglicized spelling and better known name of Kolkata. It is the third largest city, or urban agglomeration, of India and is one of the 15 largest in the world.

History

I do not yet have details of it in prehistory, antiquity, or classical and medieval times. Its modern history can be followed. In the 17th century, it was founded in the late 17th century (1690), by a British agent. I am not familiar with details of it through the 18th century including the early 18th century, early mid 18th century, mid 18th century, late-mid 18th century, or late 18th century. I lack details of the 19th century including the early 19th century, early mid 18th century, mid 19th century, late-mid 19th century, or late 19th century.

It has grown substantially in the 20th century. Details through the early 20th century, early-mid 20th century, and mid 20th century are lacking. The late-mid 20th century including the early 1960s, late 1960s, early 1970s, and late 1970s can be connected. The focus is on the late 20th century. Information about it through the early 1980s, late 1980s, early 1990s, and late 1990s will be added as the site develops.

Attention is being given to the early 21st century including the early 2000s. More details through 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 are not yet present. Current events of the late 2000s beginning in 2006 are the principal focus. Events in 2007 first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter including October, November, and December can be examined. Events of 2008 including the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter including October and November can be considered. Events of 2009 can be connected. 2010 including the first quarter 2010, second quarter 2010, third quarter 2010, and fourth quarter 2010 can be connected.

The early 2010s can be connected. 2011 can be connected. The first quarter 2011 can be connected. January 2011 including 2011 week 1, 2011 week 2, 2011 week 3, 2011 week 4, 2011 week 5, and 2011 week 6 can be connected. February 2011 and March 2011 can be connected. The second quarter 2011 and third quarter 2011 can be connected.

Its future including the near future, middle futre, and far future is obscure.

Other Sociology

Peoples will be significant. Connections to most nations are not clear. This city belongs to Asiatic peoples, in particular South Asian peoples, but Western civilization has been a significant influence. The connection of other cities is not yet clear. Connections to social structure and change including social structure, social types, and social change will be considered.

The institutions of family, education, economics, and government are highly important to Calcutta. Religion, including beliefs, practices, organization, and particular traditions is also significant.

Culture including material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture is also important.

Anthropology including social foundations, demography, human geography, physical anthropology, human ecology, and particular groups will be significant.

Personal studies are less useful for studies of the human body and psychology than for biographies

Science including biology, earth science, astronomy, chemistry, and physics can be connected.
