Speaker: Kwai Li
Background : Kwai Li is a writer, an accountant (CPA), a lecturer

Title: Soya Sauce and Garam Masala: Tales from a Chinese Community in Calcutta, India.
Description: When the Chinese immigrated to Calcutta from China in the 1920s,
they brought their language, beliefs and way of life with them. Within three
decades, a distinct culture prospered in the Chinatown of Calcutta, a culture that
was Chinese, and at the same time, Indian. The Calcutta Chinatown declined after
1962 Sino-Indian Border War. In this presentation, Kwai Li will guide us on a tour
of Calcutta Chinatown that no longer exists.
