RE:not all of them are India
by Somik Roy on Jul 17, 2008 01:11 PM

I Love You and all Nepalis as I do of all Indians. I have never come across any Bengali till date who hate either any Bengali or of any other community. Believe me. If this is true that some Bengalis have stolen your homes, then those guys should not call themselves Bengalis. We ordinary Bengalis may not be a Rabindranath or Netaji, but surely each one of us are taught at homes by our parents to try to follow in their footsteps. We cherish the ideals of Swami Vivekanada, Ramakrishna Paramahansa Deb, who taught us all to live harmoniously as brothers and sisters. Ofcourse as Indians we are passing through very difficult times and in this Kalyug where we are chasing wild dreams and materialism plus indulge in sense gratification, there could be those who are nothing better than dacoits. I am glad that you are proud of your own culture and custom. Only those who love their family, their kith and kin can have love and respect for other community. However you too need to make great effort to make great improvement by contributing in art, literature, customs that will make the whole world notice. We Bengalis too cannot sit and bask in our past glory. We too have to work very hard so that we have many more Rabindrantah, Vivekananda, amongst us. While we are proud of our Saris and Dhotis we should not hate those who amongst us wear the Coat and pant, and vise versa. I cannot say of Nepalis but we Bengalis need to rise above petty politics and work very very hard to improve.
