Migration and urbanisation problems in Calcutta.
This paper discusses the massive migration into Calcutta when India was divided in 1947 and afterwards. Assimilation of these refugees into the city's social structure and its effect on the living pattern, crime and mental illness are discussed. The process of urbanisation is found to be unique due to the nature of this city.
