Once the centre of modern education, science, culture and politics in India, Kolkata witnessed Economic Stagnation in the years following India's independence in 1947. However, since the year 2000, an economic rejuvenation has led to a spurt in the city's growth. Like other metropolitan cities of India, Kolkata continues to struggle with Urbanisation problems like poverty, pollution and Traffic Congestion .
Kolkata is noted for its revolutionary history, ranging from the Indian Struggle For Independence to the Leftist and Trade Union movements. This vibrant city, with a distinct socio-political culture, is considered by many as the Cultural capital of India.
