Amartya Sen cannot be considered to be a Bengali Hero or even an Indian hero, and he has come into the limelight only after his Noble Prize.How many heard of him prior to that?If you want to show the likes of Kumar Sanu,Abhijeet and the others in the same rank of Netaji,Aurobindo,Shayama Prasad,Ashutosh,JC Bose,Satyen Bose,Chittaranjan Das or even Bidhan Roy etc, I think we are degrading the respect the whole country HAS had for Bengalis'.The fact remains that we have been living in our past,educational institutions are mentally bankrupt,politically we have deprived the already depraved lot,seeing some of the hinterland of Bengal makes me cry,compared to say Maharastra/Gujarat/Karnataka/Kerala/Punjab... the list is unending.So lets be honest..we DONT have a leader to look upto.Thats that.
