That is how Kipling described Calcutta, a city in which one in four people live in registered slums or insanitary housing, and 200,000 sleep on the streets.
Recently, Mother Teresa of the Missionaries of Charity, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Most Westerners know of her work. Much other work is being done for Calcutta by the Government, the Local Authorities and other relief and development agencies. How do they view the pioneering work of Mother Teresa ? Colin Semper explores the city in which Mother Teresa 's problems seem insurmountable, but where many see signs of hope.
