- Sacred Heart Church - The Portuguese influence in Bengal is still evident in Kolkata, though it often goes unrecognized. Interestingly, an attempted murder, or at least a street altercation between two Europeans in colonial Calcutta, indirectly led to the construction of the Portuguese Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
In 1821, near the Old Chowringhee Theatre in Calcutta, Luis De Souza fired a gun inside a horse carriage, seriously injuring Joseph Gonsalves. De Souza was arrested and charged with attempted murder.
Upon hearing this, his mother prayed for his life and vowed to build a church if her prayers were answered. Her son avoided capital punishment but was imprisoned for ten years.
After De Souza’s release, she laid the church’s foundation stone on February 12, 1832. The church was completed in two years, and its consecration took place on Easter Sunday, March 30, 1834.

Tipu Sultan, the ruler of the South Indian Deccani Kingdom of Mysore, engaged in several wars with the British East India Company. After the final war, Tipu died on the battlefield, and six years later, his entire family was exiled to Calcutta by the British Government.
