We left India because we were afraid of being sent to the concentration camps in Rajasthan, in 1962, not because of economic opportunities. Please set the record straight. Many Chinese people were arrested and taken to Deoli concentration camps because the Indian government thought they were spies. Not a single person turned out to be a spy. The Indian government needs to apologize for this heinous crime against its citizens of Chinese origin.

The Chinese community in Kolkata is an important part of city's history. We must acknowledge that and accept them with love and respect. This is a wonderful video and a nice tribute to the Chinese community of Kolkata.

Such a beautiful presentation.! Loved it. Please god I don't want them to fade away. We have old history with this Chinese community. These people are just amazing.

.Kolkata will always be my hometown.Even though I moved out 41 years ago.I guess I'm deeply rooted in the city's culture.Other indian cities don't come close to the diversities of kolkata's cultures in the early days.....I was very fortunate to grow up there among all the wallahs.

Thank you for the beautiful video about Chinese born and living in India. There are so many nice comments by Indians. I hope the friendship between India and China improve. No more war. Living in India during my childhood, actually, Indian and chinese get along very well in the school. The Indian teachers love Chinese students. It is only these stupid politics that made Chinese people immigrate to other countries. JaiHind.

I love ❤CHINESE PEOPLE IN CHINA TOWN CALCUTTA. Please don't fade away😢

Govt must step in to promote...n keep the heritage....of Chinatown...

I would say this documentary is a very good attempt. The narration failed horribly. The reasons for the "Fading Away" were not dealt with adequately. There is the complete silence of the India-China war of 1962. And how the Chinese community suffered from it. Many were jailed without trial among the many horrible things done to them. Till today the government of India has not apologised for its actions.

Thanks for that amazing introduction about the Hakkai there and wish them good luck after the immigration

Born in Kolkata, of Chinese descent, been back a few times, still have family there. Love the place 🙏❤️

Very well presentation looking forward to more such videos all the best

I already knew India was very diverse but I never knew India was this much diverse... 😅 India has Hakka Chinese in Kolkata and African Indians in Gujarat... Good to see this much diversity😁😁 It's so nice to see their culture here in India

I had many Chinese friends that i miss in Calcutta, i used to live near tiratii bazzar as a little kid i used to have many Chinese friends they were amazingly good human beings, they were a gem to calculatta , theres even a Chinese school over there . I really miss my Chinese friends 😢😢. Lots of love to all the Chinese family friends and community from my side .❤❤❤❤❤

Nice 👌

Thank you for your information

I am Hakka born in Calcutta in Chandni Chowk but moved to the US some 45 years ago. I miss the place dearly and my friends from St. Joseph's in Bowbazar. So much diversity in everyday school and home life. In fact I spend considerable time looking for my former classmates. On my bucket list is to go back some day but I take understand things are no longer the same. I have met Hakka people from other countries and even from Moi Yen or Mei Shen, and I cannot understand them. Hakka language is in its purest from in Kolkata so I fear the language itself is fading. I personally have not used the language having no one to use it with.

Very good

Awesome

Wow , i always wanted to know this

What is the origin of the name Tangra? Knowing the Southeen chinese are likely to call themselves the "Tang"people after the late Tang dynasty .

Love from Hakka Medan

I had the opportunity to visit Kolkata in 2018. Spoke to a few Chinese at Chinatown. I was told many had left, remaining a great many elderly folks stateless despite being born there. Is this ill-treatment of a people worthy Indian citizenry?

Is there any census, how many is the population?

Sayak Dey : Hello , I am Chinese was born in Indonesia, I live in San Francisco now. My parent from China spoke hakka, My father knew how to make shoe, so he opened the shoes & bags , luggages factury. some of my father's frends own the lather facturies too. I love to watch your video, Thank you.

Love hakka from bangka . . . Cia yau

the narrater's audio sounds really bad. I stopped watching after 1 min cos I cant hear the voice properly

I lived in Hong Kong for a few years in the early 1970’s and it is horrible at what is happening there now. Those of us who are fortunate to live abroad in freedom are the lucky ones. I am forever grateful to the British government who helped a lot of Chinese to leave India by issuing us with travel passports because we were all made stateless by the Indian government.

Do those people start eating curry?

I am a Hakka and it's good to learn about how other Hakka communities thrive or survive. It will be helpful if captions are provided. But it's an enjoyable video nonetheless.

I just found out that there is a china town in Calcutta. Is the hakka language is it same as the Hakka language in Indonesia?

Calcutta Chinese is a good thinking and good about wonder and do not hurt

The Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong is a Hakka Chinese.

Kolkata is the real asian town. Mix of west and east asian cultures

India China people culture is a very beautiful jab aap Calcutta treaty market mein jaaoge injoy Baki bhai aapki samajh ke upar

Calcutta/kolkota India China shall always be intact, the way they shared their many traditional manners, food, designs, as well as culture. The way Chopsticks are from China to India, and so as Wrappers and leaves from India for food. Planted by the waters by the word. KJV 1611. In all righteousness be it left and right. Qui lai Gong Xi ni Kolkota.

Hakka of Mauritius

such a good video but why did you mess up and mess with the audio so much!!!

shit thats me in the video Jesus Christ 😂😂❤️

It would be very sad to hear of the dwindling community. I hope they will stay on and be protected. By right, their settlement should be safeguarded, allowin only ppl of their community to live there, so as to protect its cultural heritage value. Indian government should do something concrete about this, or they stand to lose out in tourism prospective income.

The south Hakka came to Jamaica and now we are mixed and a lot of us Jamaicans looking for our family it’s from south China Hakka . A lot of others that’s not in Chinese don’t even know the history still and they messed a lot of history too . My Jamaican great grandmother was a quarter south Chinese Hakka . People need to look more before starting to tell us about my ancestors

..it would not be long before there are all gone.

Background music is too loud; cannot hear the narrator's voice.

Can't believe they are still bringing up another human being into this country, knowing the economy is not that great. I feel bad for the babies being born and live their forever, hope they're moving out.

They must be hakka mostly

There're lot of people mix up the terms of Chinese and Hakka. In fact, the term 'Chinese' is quite similar to the term 'Indian', it means those who live in or come from China. Chinese is not a particular ethnic group, it is an identity of nationality. Hakka people themselves have their own identity, culture and custom which are very diverse with the northern Chinese (Mardarin). The relationship between Mandarin Chinese and Hakka is similar to the relationship between Hindi and Tamil.

Unfortunately most of them do not speak Chinese. I made a trip there and spoke to some, none of the traders could read Chinese. They speak Bengoli & Hindi like the Indians do. Maybe the older generations could still do.

The audio is very bad .. so hollow n soft

You are born my India culture and India is a love you do not think anything

This video about Hakka in Chinatown seems really shallow, and lacks the real understanding of the Hakka people living in Kolkata Chinatown. It doesn't carry the voice of the Hakka living in this city, and it is surprising that the sociologist, Dr Ananda can blatantly say that he wishes to see Chinatown becoming a tourist spot. The question is: Without the Hakka (or Chinese) living in Chinatown, there is nothing for tourists for tourists who come here to see or hear. There could be many more reasons why Hakka are leaving for other parts of the world besides the reason given that these people are going for more developed countries. For instance, are the Hakka people in Kolkata being discriminated against? Do they feel a sense of belonging in this city? Does India-China relationship have an impact on these Hakka people living in Kolkata? Hakka leaving Kolkata is certainly a loss for this city; you have only the shell of Chinatown, not the people living in Chinatown and the culture they bring to enrich the city.

Who say you out of India

A

Mostly old generation....their future don't know....

The Sociologist man needs vicks tablet for his Throat when he speaks in english accent he is struggling alot 😁

Ya lumaya

I have visited Kolkata twice but I didn't know there is a Chinatown there, why didn't the Indian government promote it? It will attract more tourists. Which other place in India has a Chinatown?

I don't think they speak Mandarin . Hakka is a dialect of Gan language . There are other languages in China like Wu (Shanghainese), Min (Hokkien, Hainanese,Teochew) and Yue (Cantonese).

Bro please fix your sound ...it's terrible...seriously we love your videos ...but the sound is killing mate

Sad for india usa and other foreign countries making nice china town that why nowadays we saw many Chinese people too play for their country if india did as that same they also would join in sport for india.

It's our negligence that , we are losing our cultures .

我們客家人苦了！ 到那時才可找到自己的”家“？ Hakka people endure no Homeland 🏡. When Are we going to find our own?

They are not chinese people .They are people of chinese origin and very much part of our bengali culture. We should make them feel comfortable as much as possible and see that they donr move away ...Their culture of togetherness and warmth more or less similar to us....If they move out of kolkata it will be great loss to us in terms of food culture etc.Its a ridiculous statenent that tangra be made tourist spot .Either leave them alone or treat whole of kolkata as a tourist spot.

Which people mind wash you not indian you born all India people
