RE:RE:not all of them are India
by Somik Roy on Jul 16, 2008 04:20 PM

Here is a correction - The Indian Medical Corp is full of Bengali Doctors and Medical staff thats why its called Indian Mukherjee and Chatterjee Corp.

There are many Bengali Lt. Generals and Major Generals in the Indian Army too.

Bengalis make excellent Airforce pilots too, some of them are legendary names like 2nd Lt. Indra Lal Roy, DFC an ace pilot of World war I and great grand father of Pronnoy Roy of NDTV.
2/Lt. ESC Sen also an ace pilot in World War I, Air Chief Marshal PC Lal of 1971 war, Wing Commander K K Majumdar who fought three wars including World War 2nd, I have already mention Air Marshal Subroto Mukherjee father and first Air Chief of Indian Air Force, Group Captain Suranjan Das a world famous test pilot and grandson of Deshbandhu Chittarnjan Das. There were two Bengali pilots who were decorated with Vir Chakra and Maha Vir Chakra for their role in the Battle of Longowal (have you watched Border) and Karachi bombings in 1971. Even today we have highly skilled Bengali pilots in the Indian Airforce. Do you know the first woman skydiver from IAF she was a Bengali and a Doctor. When you make comments you have to study hard and then give your opinion. don't be superficial or shallow in your knowledge when you speak against Bengalis. Bengalis are pioneers in everything, including two Noble Laureates , First Miss Universe from India, music - Ravi Shankar, R D Burman, Kishore Kumar, Kumar Sanu, Babul Supriyo of Kahona pyar hai, Santanu Moitra of Parineeta.
