Part magazine, part directory, part media gallery, this is a space for everything that's incredible about India. For the inspiring and the unbelievable, the cutting edge and the traditional, the beautiful and the bizarre. The India Tube tells you all about that nice cafe in India you are hoping to find. It's about the insight, not the information. Welcome.

The one and only Oly Pub

by Ishanee Sarkar

If you prefer your rum cheap, don't mind your beefsteak well done and have a soft spot for old-school pubs, then allow us to guide you to a place in Kolkata that might just be perfect for you. A Calcuttans' perennial favourite, this is one of those places where deadpan men sitting alone with their whiskey-and-water are interspersed with gaggles of young adults vehemently arguing about either cinema or cricket. Here freshly-in-love couples craving a bit of alone time are always interrupted by a bunch of friends and truanting college students often bump into their professors who are also playing hookey.
