Mc Cluskieganj is a small village near Ranchi. It evokes nostalgia and one gradually discovers that the place was once popular with the Anglo-Indian community. Film makers have taken note not only of its spectacular natural beauty, clean air and extravagant greenery, but also of the village itself, an invigorating mix of the untamed and the sophisticated.
Some of the houses here have retained their English names together with the epitaph of ‘haunted house’. During the 1950s, there were no less than 100 Anglo Indian families with their typical cottages, clubs and shops. |
