KOLKATA, India -- It is dawn in the New Market in central Kolkata, and hundreds of men are hauling live chickens onto bicycles and motorcycles, setting up vegetable stalls or shuttling animal carcasses into labyrinthine market halls.
As the sun rises, the rush of activity spreads through the lanes around tourist-centric Sudder Street, seeps into highbrow Park Street, and spreads in an endless wave of energy across this bustling metropolis of 4.5 million people.
