I feel the best candidate is Chinmoy R Gharekhan. He may be too senior for the role but is a very highly respected diplomat and a man of unimpeachable integrity.

No Bengalee Chauvinism required to prove the worth of three handsome men-Netaji, Tagore and Swami Vivekananda. Three main left parties were founded by Bongs -Congress by Banerjee,Jana Sangh by Mukherjee, CPI by Roy and Forward Block by Netaji. So dubbing Bengalees as leftys will only riducule Indian heritage. In Calcutta, Bengalees are outnunbered by non-Bengalees but locales never respond to the call of Amra Bangali kind of actions. Yes, the saddest part is that Bengalee political leadership never ever rose to the occasion to really convert the intellects of thousands of brilliant young minds into wealth for the society. The CIRCUS and political acrobatics right from Singur to Padma award to Mr. Pranab Mukherjee (who has been bereft number of times of his actual worthiness)bear testimony to the fact that WEST BENGAL HAS BECOME REALLY A HAPPY HUNTING GROUND FOR GREEDY UNPRODUCTIVE politicians. No Atulya Ghosh's voice is heard in Congress nor Ajay Ghosh genre is found within the CPM. I am no great admirer of Tasleema Nashrin, she smacks of Jaseemuddin, Adyita Mallabarman and many other highly talented literary figures of Bangladesh, however, the way Bengal succumbed to the pressure of Fundamentalists for electoral gain is really unbelievable. So, Bengal is sinking, the lost pride of bengalees now are rested with Prabasi Bangalis, who live outside Bengal and India. Certainly, chauvinism is no answer, what Bengalees should prove with example is to foster a CULTURE OF DEVELOPMENT
Whosoever replaces the present incumbent is on prevogatives of the Govt.But if persons like Vinod Sharma(who forgot to carry his I/Card in recent Asssembly Elections i H.P. leading to unsavory situation ) and S.M. Krishana (who proved a failure in Karnatak-as proved by verdict) will be a mockery of the post considered to be crucial) A knowledgeable and a cute bureacrate is needed for this covetal post. Why not person like M.K.Narayan -the present National Security Advisor who has the necessary expertise and capability to deal with such powerful ally. But my suggetion will go in vain, as narrow political will prevail.

so what! If we can have a Khalistani for a PM and an Italian for an adviser what;s wrong with a Bengali. At least we fought for independence of this country, while lots of kumars were cleaning toilets of goras.

If comments by Mr. Prabal Biswas is devoid of any sense then those by Mr. Ariel is complete nonsense. There is, it seems, a competition going on between them to prove who is more idiot. Carry on.

Are you bent upon to prove that you are a disgrace to whole Bengali community. Keep those absurd remarks to your self and relate them to your siblings in the cosy comfort of your home. You are the greatest fool I have ever come to know.
