From the beginning of the 18th century to the 1940s, Calcutta was a strong attraction for the British Sahibs for various reasons. The craze of young British Sahibs to come to Calcutta after Palashi, with the immense attraction of shaking the pagoda tree once, dried up before the curtain fell on the 18th century. In the pre-Palash and post-Palash periods, the two pictures of the lives of Sahibs have sometimes moved away from each other, and sometimes remained in the same color. The Sahib society of Calcutta during the Company's period is not framed in the same way. The class distinctions within the Sahib society, the different lifestyles of the older and younger Englishmen, the tendency of Sahibs to have ?bibis? due to the lack of unmarried Sahibs in Calcutta in the first half of the 18th century, the opposite picture in the second half ? the influx of virgin Sahibs in search of grooms, the failure of many to return or the marriage of minors to an older man, etc., are almost unexplained and humorous topics that cannot fail to arouse both surprise and pity in the reader?s mind. Although some Sahibs hated Calcutta, some loved the city and either came repeatedly despite the hardships of long sea voyages, or some stayed in love with it until their death. Various colorful and colorless pictures of the lives of Sahibs in Calcutta during the Company?s rule have emerged in this book.
