Bengal United Service Club, c. 1905

Gentlemen's clubs in India were primarily created by the British during the British Raj, however several were created after the independence of India mainly as a legacy of the empire. They were mostly built in urban cities, like Bangalore, Calcutta, Bombay, Delhi, Karachi, Lahore, Madras etc; where British Army/Civil officers went to rest after long hours of work.
