Chintamoni Ghosh and the making of a legacy | Anjana Basu’s The House The Press Built

Cities change with time, and in the race in making them ‘smart’, we often forget the rich heritage that they carry. One such heritage property is Ghosh Villa, nestled in the neighbourhood of George Town in Allahabad (now Prayagraj). While many might have admired it from the outside, few may be aware of its rich history and the role it has played in making the city culturally wealthy. Anjana Basu, a member of the Ghosh family, has chronicled both documented and oral histories of her family and the house in her latest book, The House The Press Built .
