though well written, I have serious reservations regarding the statement: "The truth is that Bengal has very few heroes left today" Well, Amartya Sen, Satyajit Roy (not long ago), Soumitra Chatterjee, Aparna Sen, Subroto Roy Sahara (no need for him to stay in Kolkata), Leander Paes, Laxmi Niwas Mittal (no need for them to be Bengalees but they are from Bengal), and innumerable others whom the Benagli youth can emulate.
