Calcutta, Whether known as Kolkata or Calcutta, India's largest city is a pulsing metropolis of over twelve million inhabitants. Once known as the "jewel in the crown of the British Raj," this former capital of British India is a nexus of culture in Bengal, its cosmopolitan streets buzzing with English, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, and a range of local dialects. The city's eastern suburb of Udayan is a popular residential area, home to the Satyajit Ray Film Institute, many new schools and hospitals, and an array of sleek, modern high-rise residential projects. One of the more ambitious of these is Calcutta Metropolitan's Hiland Park, a massive development of nine residential towers, each between 17 and 28 stories high.
