by way of explanation
This article is in need of some explanation.


 * Chittaranjan Park was initially called the East Pakistan Displaced Persons Colony, presumably being an area for refugees relocating from Bengal following the 1947 Partition of India.
 * In the 1980s, it was renamed Chittaranjan Park after Chittaranjan Das. However, it is most commonly referred to as "C.R. Park", my speculation being that "C.R." represents a shortened form (i.e. an abbreviation) of "Chitta-Ranjan".  (I guess this abbreviation is obvious to Indians, but not so obvious to English-speaking individuals in the rest of the world.)
 * As noted in the article, C.R. Park is a posh area to live. It is not really clear whether there is a specific park within C.R. Park that is considered to be the C.R. Park park.
 * You'll sometimes notice references to "Bong ... this" or "Bong ... that" with respect to this neighborhood; evidently, "Bong" is a reference to the local Bengali community.

The explanation provided here has not been subjected to verification, so there's no reason to believe that it's accurate. Feel free to boldly edit, expand, and otherwise improve on this little explanation.
