Ravishankar (and his Sitar Recitals), Sri Ramakrishna - Swami Vivekananda, Victoria Memorial, antique electric trams which by themselves are running museums, a well maintained Metro railway and not the least the the most dynamic, varied Kolkatans which in itself are apt miniaturization of the 'Unity-in-Diversity' of India.
