# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Calcutta in the World War II walking tour
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 14 Dec, 2025 at 08:00 am – Sun, 14 Dec, 2025 at 10:30 am
- **Event Description**: The Second World War came to Calcutta slowly but surely in the winter of 1942. Japanese bombers were flying regular scouting missions to destroy Calcutta’s industrial sector in an effort to harm the Allied war effort in the China-Burma-India Theatre. Air-raid sirens were becoming an everyday reality, and finally bombs started to be hurled on the city. War also brought worker strikes, food shortages, heightened surveillance, oppression, and terrible famine. The experience will explore this contested “inbound” space through eyewitness accounts and forgotten tales from a city divided. 

The walk will be conducted in English.
