He is the first Bengali to open an "Indian" (Hindustani) restaurant in an upper class area of London (Westminster) in 1810. His dress is that of contemporary upper middle class style in London at that time.

He is sporting formal white silk gloves as was in vogue at the time.

The plaque shown next to his picture exists in the spot where the restaurant existed until demolished some years later.

Yah, I figured as much but these desi goras always crack me up. Indians bho bohot hain is type ke :LOL:

You can actually go topless in India, in Pondicherry, Goa, Kovalam, even Dilli

but its generally at a small guesthouse ka rooftop and for goras only.. not at public spots.
