Question

The village of Achipur is named for a member of this ethnic group who produced sugar, which is possibly named for this ethnic group in a local language spoken by the Hooghly River. This ethnic group historically owned many large tanneries in the Tangra neighborhood and also established still-extant shops in the Tiretti Bazaar area. In 1962, members of this non-European ethnic group were interned in the town of Deoli after an incident in which the (*) McMahon Line was breached. Members from this group feared retaliation after their country of origin’s disputed Aksai Chin region was the site of clashes in the Galwan Valley (-5[1])along the Line of Actual Control. For 10 points, name this ethnic group that introduced foods such as Gobi Manchurian and chop suey to Kolkata. (10[2])■END■ (10[1])
