The problem with Bengal is the mindset nurtured under Communists for nearly half a century. It has become anti entrepreneur. Bengalis today fail to grasp the concept of business and somehow related it to imagined fictitious fat dirty profiteers. Blame it on years of intellectual brainwashing thru poems to movies..add to it the irony of brilliance of Mrinal Sen or the tenacity of Jyoti Basu. Bengalis are pathetic, they have become boring and snap at you and barrage you with anti American rhetoric. Bengalis today have risen way above their cultural or ethnic ties. They fancy themselves as world citizens, as victimized proletariat and to that end they even empathize with Islamic terror. Strange breed, the new Bengalis. Communists messed up Bengal, big time.

Deepak, you must be a big time Bengali hater and obviously a Marwari. Being anti-American is not a preqrequisite towards anti-entrepreneur and anti business attitudes. Many Europeans like the French, Italians do not like the US. But they are economically developed and are known for big corporate houses that have their significant presence globally. These countries do not endorse capitalism totally. Yes i agree to some extent with you about Bengalees having a uncomfortable attitude towards entreprenership and business. Yes this blockheadedness should change and Bengalees should inculcate and develop business acumen in them. The lazy, laid back attitudes Bengalees ahould be done away with. As far as the intellect you talk about , i'm sorry to say people like you are extremely incompetent to measure the intellectual level of Bengalees.

Sudipta...regardless of what I am, where is the hate??? Bengal is not France or Italy, competing with US for markets..Bengalis are Anti American simply because it is fashionable and reinforces their Commie leanings. Bengalis lead protests of American bombing in Afghanistan, yet these idiots dont even whimper when their Bengali brethern are thrown out of Bangladesh...Bengalis are strange !
