Why want industrialisation?
by Fried Yakov on Sep 03, 2008 07:50 AM

What is the need for all this industrialisation in Bengal? If the Bengalisthemselves do not want it, let Bengal remain an agricultural state. It may also be desirable to close down the few remaining industries in Bengal too so that the industrial land may be reclaimed for agriculture. Yes and all the educated youths, even those with PhD's should brace for a career in tilling the soil- there is no shame in 'dignity of labour'- it is a well accepted doctrine. And then have we realised how the name "Bongo" rhymes with "Congo"- may be soon there will be no difference between the two. And educated Bengali youth who are so "egoistic" as not to like cultivating the earth, may migrate to more salubrious climes to pursue there intellectual passions (I believe millions have already done so and those who still hold on to Bengal because of family reasons shall soon be forced to do so for reasons economic). Let this serve as a warning for other potential "miscreants" (aka investors) thinking of turning their capitalistic eyes on the red fortress of Bengal- do not try ever to break into this impregnable red fortress of medivialism and regression, or your doom is assured.
