Linking Madras, Cuddalore, and Calcutta
A recent visit to Fort St. David in Cuddalore, now operating as a heritage guesthouse, uncovered a surprising connection to colonial Calcutta. The link centers on Dr. H.E. Busteed, a former resident of the fort who later authored the historical work 'Echoes from Old Calcutta.' The discovery highlights the intertwined histories of the two former British outposts.
