The Partition of India in 1947 tragically ripped Bengal apart with a large proportion of the Hindu population departing Dhaka for India. The borders of the newcountries were to follow religiouslines: India would be for Hindus, Pakistan for Muslims. What is now known asBangladesh, previously East Pakistan, sawmany of it rajbaris or mansions abandoned,a situation further compounded by the independence war of 1971. In Kolkata, andregional Bengal the family owners of lavish colonial housesalso experienced dramatic upheaval and a loss in fortunes following Independence.Both the nation of Bangladesh and the Indian state of Bengalare a treasure store of little visited architectural wonders that seem lost inan earlier time. Photographer Kip Scott, noted for his architectural images,here captures the lavish mansions of Bangladesh and Bengal in all their glory.Ruined, restored, lost and found, the magnificent mansions are an often eclectic blend of Moghul and Classicalstyles. And here those images are so often accompanied by thestreet life, work or nature thatsurrounds and sometimes threatens to encompass them.
