What if the entire architecture of a society-from its streets to its social clubs-was designed to keep people apart? In colonial India, this wasn't a thought experiment. It was daily life. Chandrapore sprawls along the Ganges, its native quarters a maze of mud-walled houses and narrow bazaars that seem, from below, chaotic and formless. But climb to higher ground where the British civil station sits, and suddenly the city transforms into a "city of gardens"-manicured lawns, whitewashed bungalows, eucalyptus trees screening out the reality below. This wasn't accidental urban planning. It was empire made visible: the colonizers literally looking down on the colonized, their elevated position reflecting their assumed superiority. Above it all stretches an enormous sky, indifferent to human divisions, and in the distance loom the Marabar Hills with their ancient caves-a primordial presence that will soon expose the fragility of every certainty these people hold.
