Kolkata's Tiretti Bazaar is India's only historic Chinatown, uniquely named after an Italian, Edoardo Tiretta, who bought land there in the late 18th century. Chinese sailors arrived in the mid-1800s, settling as traders and craftsmen. This neighborhood blends centuries of Chinese-Indian history, with families establishing shops and temples around the market area.
