Armenians in India - Behind the Scenes Forgotten History

Highlighting some of the lesser known, but just as important past Armenian characters in India. Those Armenians who have some sort of connection, or maybe simply buried in Calcutta and other locations in India, I re-create their lives and put them into short stories, at least as much as I am able to. The Armenians of India are unique and their stories need to be told. I hope this blog goes a little way to telling those stories. Armenian graves in India www.chater-genealogy.com.

An English Version of An Armenian Hymn of Saint Nierses Clajensis, Surnamed The Graceful

I am fortunate to have a small but unique personal collection of Armenian related memorabilia and ephemera with connections to Calcutta and Dacca. One of the items from my book collection is “An English Version of An Armenian Hymn of Saint Nierses Clajensis, Surnamed The Graceful”. It is inscribed to Joachin Pogose a brother of Peter Nicholas Pogose of Dacca and a cousin of J.G.N. Pogose founder of the Pogose School in Dacca.
