I understand your sentiment -- but bear in mind that Bengalis such as you constitute only a fraction of the Bengali population. We need to pursue all-round development, and generating employment for the lower economic classes is the first imperative. And as pointed out by many people, the apparent "development" in Maratha and Gujrathi land is illusory -- it benefits only one section of the population, while leaving the interiors of these states in the starkest poverty.
