Streetwise Kolkata: Red Road A tarred road from which once Spitfires took off © Provided by The Indian Express The two-kilometer-long Red Road that slices the large expanse of the Maidan in Kolkata and one part of the heart of the city, is not really red. In fact, it is more asphalt black than grey. The only patches of the colour one would find along that stretch of the city are the flaming blooms of gulmohar and palash when both start flowering within days of each other, in late spring. Yet, the road is one of Kolkata’s more iconic thoroughfares, very much like Park Street, immediately associated with the city’s history. Like many other Kolkata roads and neighbourhoods, there are varying stories about how the road really got its name. Nearly four decades ago, the stretch was renamed Indira Gandhi Sarani, after the country’s former prime minister, but this nomenclature is rarely used, in official communication or when instructing taxi drivers in the city.
