Remembered one of India’s legendary fingerprint experts - Mr PS Nayar- after reading this detailed story in The Indian Express today on Billa & Ranga.
Nayar sir lifted the fingerprints in the Fiat car in Delhi that led to the hanging of Billa and Ranga- the prints were on the rear view mirror- (must’ve been them constantly checking their tail). He was then in the CBI, & he told me it was one of his greatest cases- he was then in the CBI. He retired as Director, Central Finger Print Bureau (CFPB) in 1992.

Did you know there is a 160 yr old British clock in Kolkata that speaks only Bengali? In 1858, the legendary Bhim Chandra Nag refused a gift from London's top clockmaker because it used English numerals. He forced the British to paint a clock face in Bengali just so his workers could tell the time. This is the story of how a sweet maker made the Empire tick to his tune.

In 1858, the world-famous British clockmakers Cooke & Kelvey opened their doors in Calcutta. The founder, Thomas Cooke, was a fan of Bhim Nag’s sweets. 1 day, while eating Sandesh, he noticed something strange: the most famous sweet shop in the city had no clock. Cooke offered to gift Bhim Nag a grand, high-end mechanical clock from London.

Bhim Nag did not say thank you. He looked at the clock and said, "My workers are local craftsmen. They do not know English. They cannot read your Roman/English numerals. This clock is useless to us." Thomas Cooke was so impressed by this Sovereign pride that he took a stencil of Bengali words (এক, দুই, তিন, চার...), sent it back to his factory in London, & had a custom clock face painted in Bengali.

The clock arrived in 1858, a Swiss-machined, London-painted clock with Bengali digits. That clock is still ticking on the wall of the Bowbazar shop today. It is 1 of the only mechanical clocks in the world where a British company was forced to learn an Indian script just to tell the time in a sweet shop.

It stands as a silent monument to the time when a Bengali Moyra (confectioner) made a British tycoon bow to his language. Most people have heard of the sweet Ledikeni, but the unknown part is the level of Genocide-prevention involved.

In the mid-1850s, India was boiling with the 1857 Revolt. Lord Canning was the Viceroy, & his wife, Lady Canning, was trying to bridge the gap b/w the British & the Indians. For her birthday, she wanted a sweet that was Neither British nor Indian. Bhim Nag was summoned.

He took the Pantua (an Indian fried sweet) & elongated it, stuffed it with a secret blend of Kheer, & gave it a unique texture. Lady Canning loved it so much that she became a regular patron. It calmed the High Society tensions of the time. The sweet was named Lady Canning, which the local Bengalis, in their typical style, shortened to Ledikeni.

Everyone thinks Chocolate Sandesh is a modern invention (like the 2012 Cadbury campaign). It was actually invented in the early 1900s at at Nalin Chandra Das & Sons. A regular customer named Bishwajit Ghosh returned from England with a tin of Cocoa Powder & challenged the owner, Bhoot Nath Das, to make something European with it. Bhoot Nath concocted the 1st ever chocolate Sandesh decades before global chocolate brands even entered the Indian market. He essentially de-colonized chocolate by wrapping it in Chhena (cottage cheese).

These sweet shops were not just kitchens; they were cultural laboratories. Bhim Nag forced the British to speak Bengali through a clock. Nalin Das beat the Europeans at their own chocolate game.

We eat these sweets for the sugar, but we should eat them for the Spine. These are the only brands in the world where the Product was so powerful that the Colonizer had to change their clocks & their names just to get a taste.
