GOAT: Gopal 'Patha' Mukherjee, the Meat-Shop Owner Who Saved Kolkata written by Abhijit Majumder and Debdutta Bhattacharjee

In August 1946, Direct Action Day turned Calcutta into a killing ground. This episode looks at GOAT: Gopal 'Patha' Mukherjee, the Meat-Shop Owner Who Saved Kolkata by Abhijit Majumder and Debdutta Bhattacharjee. The book credits a 33-year-old College Street meat-shop owner with organizing the counter-attack that ended the violence and, in the authors' telling, kept Kolkata in India. We cover what the book argues, what reviewers praise, and where its hero narrative meets a much messier record.
