The critical focus of much of the Indian 'middle class' (that lot which imagines itself to be moving now towards affluence while actually remaining exactly where they were decades ago in terms of purchasing power) in matters political invariably settles time and again on the leftist movement and governments in India. Whatever the considered criteria, the left is always in the wrong and whatever the left does cannot but be inimical to public interests. And so Bengal and whatever happens in Bengal cannot but be seen only through this prism of the leftist govt. in power !!
Such a stand on the part of the middle class commoner must be considered in order by everyone else. After all, it is the given thing that other states in India, notably those like Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa, Bihar, U.P and Rajasthan are such models of modern, enlightened, developed, egalitarian and fully just societies that a state like Bengal must always be condemned as 'backward', 'corrupt' and 'regressive' !!!
