Kolkata’s dark past when it exported thousands of human skeletons!
Sunday, 22 December 2024 ()
Kolkata supplied human skeletons globally for two centuries. This trade flourished during British rule and continued after Indian independence. Skeletons were sourced from unclaimed bodies and grave robbery. The industry faced bans, yet persisted. Young Brothers was a key exporter. Millions of skeletons were shipped from Kolkata until a final ban in 1985.
