Industrialization of Bengal
by Rama Ganesh on Jun 10, 2008 07:45 PM

Having lived in Bengal for many years, I think I can understand the problem it's facing today. To blame the commies alone would be too simplistic. True, commies are solely responsible for the terrible work culture prevailing in bengal today, but the commies have also managed some credits. Bengal today is more or less a caste-less society, a great achievement by any stretch of imagination, which is unthinkable in any other part of this country. This is also partly due to the commies. An average bengali is easy going, laid back to the point of being lethargic, bit of a cynic, and revels in arm-chair intellectualism. The commies have only capitalized on these traits of a bengali and used it to their advantage. The Bengalis have only themselves to blame for the mess they find themselves in. Having said that, I must also say Bengalis are great thinkers and creative artists, and culturally are miles ahead of most Indian states. I am sure Bengalis would rise to the occasion and one day get rid of these negativities plaguing their society... commies included. That would indeed be the beginning of a golden period for Bengal. I love bengal!!!
