Title

Darjeeling in 1937

Description

It shows the arrival of Sir Stanley Jackson, former Governor of Bengal, and Lady Jackson to Government House in Darjeeling, the 'summer seat of the Bengal government'. Shots of the church, town hall and a building with 'God Save the King' emblazoned upon on it show just how anglicised some parts of India had become. Look out, too, for Darjeeling's famous 'toy train'.
