As it is lots of border districts in WB have had their demographies changed due to a sustained influx from Bangladesh of mostly Muslims. For a long time the immigrants lied low & now they have probably started flexing their muscles. For heavens sake somebody hear Buddha out, else these incidents would get repeated & get out of hand.

The influx of Bangladeshi people to India has been happenning ever since the State of Bangladesh came into existence.At first it were the Hindus, then came the Muslims. It would seem that universally, irrespective of the caste, creed , religious following, the poor are unwelcome anywhere. The problem of Nandigram is depriving the poor of what little they still have. The fact remains that Communist rule has no agenda for rapid economic growth inspite of their long tenure in WB.It is not surprising, because the Communist method has ceased to be economically viable a long time ago.
