Résumé :
This article focuses on the Sealdah railway station in Calcutta, West Bengal, as a site of refugee ‘settlement’ in the aftermath of British India’s partition. From 1946 to the late 1960s, the platforms of Sealdah remained crowded with Bengali Hindu refugees from East Pakistan. Some refugees stayed a few days, but many stayed for months, even years. Relying on newspaper reports, autobiographical accounts and official archives, this article elaborates how a busy railway station uniquely shaped the experiences of partition refugees. Despite severe infrastructural limitations, the railway platforms of Sealdah provided these refugee residents with certain opportunities. Many preferred to stay at Sealdah instead of moving to any government facility. However, even for the most long-term residents of Sealdah, it remained a temporary home, from where they were either shifted to government camps or themselves found accommodation in and around Calcutta. The article argues that by allowing the refugees to squat on a busy railway platform for months and years, the state recognised a unique right of these refugees, their right to wait, involving at least some agency in the process of resettling.

Résumé :
In 1911, the Government of India transferred the imperial seat of government from Calcutta to Delhi. The decision initiated an ambitious colonial building project that consumed massive human, material, and financial resources for the next two decades. The new city was meant to be not just a site of government but also a symbol of a new direction in British rule. As such, the transfer and building of a new capital caused tremendous debate in parliament, in the press, and in the worlds of art and finance. This paper examines one of these debates: the precise location of the new capital in the Delhi area. When news reached London that the Government of India planned to build the new capital in a largely rural area with little connection to Delhi's existing European community, Sir Bradford Leslie, an eminent railway engineer with long experience in India, prepared a town plan that placed the capital back within Delhi's European civil lines. His plan, the controversy it created, and its eventual rejection by the Government of India highlighted arguments over the meaning of British rule in India and who should benefit from it.

Résumé :
Alan Gibson was born in Calcutta on 30 May 1923. He was the only child of Heseltine Gibson, a metallurgist, and Ruby Margaret, née Wilson, who had been a dispenser before marriage. His more distant ancestors were mainly farmers from the North Riding of Yorkshire. Heseltine Gibson graduated from Birmingham University in 1914 with first class honours. He was awarded the Military Cross for his service in World War I. At the end of the War, in 1918, he went to India to work for the heavy engineering firm of Martin-Burn and Co. in the town of Howrah, across the Hooghly River from Calcutta. The firm made railway rolling stock, boilers, and the like, and it was later involved in the building of the massive Howrah bridge. Heseltine Gibson rose to become General Manager and he remained in India after the partition of 1947, with its attendant inter-racial strife, during which he was locked in his office while the firm’s furnaces were used as human incinerators.
