The Ruffian unbuttons history and lore lurking in Kolkata’s long, overlooked underbelly. As seen through the lenses of an old ruffian– here unheard voices hold hands with the shrieks in the forgotten alley, strangest of lovers wander away, street loonies whisper in the ears of failed leaders, and abandoned children curl up into the bosoms of unloved women and together they weave a timeless memoir of the city and its moonshines.
