Barrackpore

I found this name to be interesting and after some research I found out that Barrackpore is an old and famous administrative territory of India. It was a British controlled military center and was a scene for rebellions against the British during the 1800s. Barrackpore got its name from the English word "barracks." It got this name because of it being a British military center. The region is located 25 km from Calcutta and is 115 km from the border with Bangladesh.
Just like in White Teeth, Barrackpore in real life is talked about in terms of fighting and military actions.
