<\/a><\/p>\nPlaces to visit in Kolkata and Things to Do !<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\nWe all have learned how Britishers had invaded this place first and then they started capturing the other parts of India. Here, the interesting fact is why did they invade this specific part first? Because they found it to be unique and were extremely astonished by the belongings that were present in the past and for that reason Kolkata was the first capital of India before Delhi. Tracing back to the past, we very well know how things were then and now it\u2019s different but still, Kolkata has preserved its history, heritage, and culture which welcomes thousands of visitors from other places of India and also from foreign.
