At 65/2 Baghbazaar Street, Basu Bati is a tale straight out of Bengal's own book. The historic mansion was formerly owned by one of the city's first prominent families. The brothers Nandalal and Pashupati Basu, as well as their elder brother Mahendra Lal, lived here. They are thought to be descendants of Dasrath Basu, the first recorded man to bear the surname 'Basu,' which has since become so widespread in Bengal. They originated in Shyambazar, in the centre of north Kolkata, from the well-respected Basu family of Kantapukur. A well-known contribution to the struggle against British rule was made by the Basu family. After speaking out against the Partition of Bengal in 1905, Tagore's protest came to an end in Basu Bati.
