The problem with Bengal is the mindset nurtured under Communists for nearly half a century. It has become anti entrepreneur. Bengalis today fail to grasp the concept of business and somehow related it to imagined fictitious fat dirty profiteers. Blame it on years of intellectual brainwashing thru poems to movies..add to it the irony of brilliance of Mrinal Sen or the tenacity of Jyoti Basu. Bengalis are pathetic, they have become boring and snap at you and barrage you with anti American rhetoric. Bengalis today have risen way above their cultural or ethnic ties. They fancy themselves as world citizens, as victimized proletariat and to that end they even empathize with Islamic terror. Strange breed, the new Bengalis. Communists messed up Bengal, big time.
