So who is better ? I would rather have a steak and a glass of beer with Buddhadeb and discuss Kurosawa with him.

You can also discuss how to kill millions with Buddha. Whether the Stalin approach (sending people to Gulags) or Mao approach( starving millions to death using artificial famines) is better.
Keep chatting and drinking, rest of India is progressing and we dont want to become a B-Team of China like you and your CPM masters want to be.

Why do you want to reveal your ignorance over here?
Ok tell me, why is that with all those nobel prize winners, Bengal is today behind most Indian states in many things? Bengal has the third biggest no of illiterates after UP and Bihar. Are you not ashamed?

I told you - uncontrolled immigration from Bangladesh and a huge minority population ( nearly 25% ) which is ill educated due to their cultural issues. And that will continue to be a problem forever.

You have revealed your communal mindset here....
I think there is no point talking with a bigot like you.
PS- The 100% literate Kerala has 48% minority population. Turkey, a 100% muslim country is also 100% literate. Your attempts to defend yourself make you sound like a joker. Take care

Mr Anurag Srivatsava, I call a spade a spade. Your statement just reveals ur communal mindset. What else? Infact VHP folks are better, atleast they are open and honest in admitting they dont like minority people, not like you folks who pretend to be communist, intellectual but hate some people.
Even if we agree that infiltration is a problem, what was the CPM doing last 30 years to stop it? 30 years is a long period. Police, intelligence is always a state subject. 30 years what were you doing? There is no infiltration in Meghalaya, another state having bangladesh as border . Why? And as far as tearing fabric is concerned, Bengal's CPM has done it the best way by destroying all enterprise and business in the state.

I suppose MGR fan - you use communal word according to your convenience. This is a conclusion from Sachchar committee report on Bengal and some other states. Look at the stats and then talk here- and that has a lot to do with Bangladeshi migrants and tearing of the fabric of minorities in that state.

Well MGR Fan ... I don't support communists anyway so you are barking at the wrong tree. I support Calcutta and Calcuttans not the dregs from Bangaldesh. India is a democracy and unfortunately these migrants are huge votebank none can ignore. Modi does not have to worry about this votebank and hence can say whatever he feels like. Politics is an art of winning elections and making money. Nothing more. Nothing less. Bengal is suffering because of immigration which none can stop.

And just for your knowledge - read page 32 and page 160 of the Sachar report on demographics and poverty levels. In Bengal - while the general population has a poverty level 0f 6% ; that for muslims is 27% in urban areas. gap elsewhere in rural areas is more. This is because the Bangaladeshi migrants form a big % of minorities in Bengal and they are poor and illiterate. Comparison in Kerala is silly because everyone there is fully educated local people.

To MGR Fan; unlike some hardcore Tamilians like you, the rest of us are not inward-looking, nepotism-oriented, Hindi-hating religious hypocrites. Thank You.

You're talking of electricity? Water? I've been in Kolkata this year itself and lived in suburbs - we had 24 hour electricity (without blackouts) and also 24 hours water supply. None of the locals ever had complaints in this regard. I've also been to Hyderabad (last month) and Bangalore (two months back) and both these cities face electricity blackouts almost on a daily basis (including sundays). Not very appealing is it? I won't comment about Chennai as I haven't been there since so many years but Chennai does have water shortages.
Moral of the story: please don't talk about human development. Truth is Kolkata has a high living standard that can be afforded at 1/2 the income of Bangalore/Mumbai. It does have its sore spots (as Anurag mentioned about immigration from Bangladesh and local minorities which refuse to integrate).
No Bengalis have EVER supported communal/caste/regional feelings. It simply doesn't exist. In the 1960's Kolkata invited Marwaris and Gujaratis to set up businesses in its heart (an area called Bara Bazar) and they have flourished ever since. True, Communist rule stagnated growth for almost 30 years but today, Bengal is looking up silently.

Bengal is better than gujarat in human index. Bengal is better in overall development compare to gujarat , though gujarat is very very rich with naturak resource compared to bengal ( 1 : 20). the govt has not used it.it lags in most recentlty compared to 10 years back in percentage

Forget Gujarat. Bengal is no match before south indian states when it comes to Human Development.
bengal has the 3rd largest number of illiterates in India. 40% of houses in Bengal dont have electricity connection.
Also Bengal is one of the blessed states in India w.r.to water resources, but has the worst governemnt ever

Srivatsava, you simply cannot answer my points, so try to sideline them by teling somethine silly.
Agree that you cannot disprove my points, and give up... carry on drinking beer and whisky and feasting on steak and dont forget taking health insurance with United india Insurance (a Kolkatta based company), you will surely need it some day.

True - Indians have the highest heart problem rates in the world and that has direct relationship with high calorie food eaten such as rice , chappati, puris, sweets and the like and not having sufficient proteins. And our sports records is a good evidence of the poorness of our diet.
RE:RE:Modi and Buddha
by MGR Fan on Dec 11, 2007 12:09 PM Permalink
Why is the sports record of Pakistan and Bangladesh no better than India? (both countries have high per capita beef consumption)
Sports records have nothing much to do with diet. it is all to do with sporting facilities. The facilities are non existent in India. The facilities are poor in many countries and their records are bad.
Why is that most performers in Winter Olympics come from cold countries? Because winter sports facilities dont exist in tropical countries.
So try to do logical reasoning, instead of blindly memorising the script written by Mao, Marx, Stalin and Buddhadeb

When you grow 75 years old - you will have cardiac problems and Americans live a little longer than that. Do some studies on cardiac issues and then comment.
Bengalis do not eat enough non-veg everyday due to poverty - maybe a small piece of bony fish everyday. And so also Bangladeshis. A good example of sporting prowess of non-vegetarians are the keralites....but still not good compared to other countries which have similar race but better diet than us.
