Many Anglo-Indians left the city from Bo Barrack after independence for many reasons. But, Kolkata is their birth place, so, they felt urge to visit again Kolkata. They used to reside at Reapon Street, Eliot Road, Park Street or Taltala area. Some of them became famous as surgeon of Kolkata Police or centre forward of Hockey team.
