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 (10[1])from this group feared retaliation after their country of origin’s disputed Aksai Chin region was the site of clashes in the Galwan Valley along the Line of Actual Control. For 10 points, name this ethnic group that introduced foods such as Gobi Manchurian (10[1])and chop suey to Kolkata. ■END■
