Cyclone Amphan has hit Kolkata where it hurts. It has brought the city's iconic College Street to its knees. Hundreds of tiny book stalls that line both the street were flooded on Wednesday night and books, wet and soaking, have been reduced to raddi or waste. Students and alumni of the iconic street's premier institutions - Presidency and Calcutta University to name few - have started a global campaign for funds to save "boi para" or Kolkata's book street.
