Uttam's dragging East Bengal refugees into this is not acceptable. The Hindus in East Bengal fled to what is now West Bengal and India - not because of their own will - but because India was patitioned based on religion.
From penury - by virtue of hardwork - they rebuilt their lives. It is a fact that they outperformed and outshown the indigenous West Bengalis. The anger displayed by Uttam ( who obviously is from West Bengal if he's native to Nandigram) is misplaced and not acceptable.
Just to rejig memories of East Bengalees who made it big - they are 1. Rabindranath Tagore - Silaidaha - the original place from where the Tagore family comes is now in Bangladesh 2. Amartya Sen 3. Satyajit Ray - and of course his father Sukumar Ray. 4. Debabrata Biswas - the noted Singer 5. Chuni Goswami - the footballer and pillar of the Mohunbagan 6. Nirod C Chowdhury
Between them - we have 2 Nobel Winners and 1 Oscar winner. Take the East Bengalees out - and you lose 2 Nobel prizes and an Oscar!
So have balance - and for your info - Budhha Babu is from good old West Bengal. So is Mamata Banerjee ( Birbhum). So if you look at the two trouble makers - neither have any connection with East Bengal.
