Kolkatta was once a crucible of civilisation and social reform and industry. In 1950, 20% of india's industry were based in Kolkatta...
But last 30 years of CPM rule has destroyed the city in every sense. Most educated bengalis work in other states/cities and visit this city during pooja only.
So how is Kolkatta a hotspot? Only for strikes and bandhs, which they seem to be a hotspot in every sense.
Only when bengal gets rid of its CPM rulers, Kolkatta can get back to its glorious past
