There was no Kolkata or Sutanuti village before English came in and made Kolkata people their tambedar.
Nothing! It was a backward village in the sticks.
The real power and vibrancy (agriculture, wealth and trade) was in East Bengal. Always.
Sycophants of Hindi-speaking banyas now criticizing our language in East Bengal. Obviously a BJP shill trying to drive a wedge between EB and WB folks.
Trying to go viral by being controversial. BJP Hindi culture pa-chata Indiot.
In any case this is pointless pissing off Bangladeshis, because ultimately WB is 100% dependent on trade and tourism from Bangladesh. And will be more so in the future.
The GDP per capita of their impoverished state is half that of ours (why? Marwari Business folks). Their economy is all in the hands of Mumbai businesses and Marwaris. Sad situation.
Instead of spewing venom against Bangladeshis, they should identify the people who are sponsoring and bank-rolling this Bangladeshi-hatred in their WB media, namely
- Marwari businesspeople,
- Cow-Belt Bihari Hindutva politicians and
- BJP Hindutva idiots from Gujarat and other cow-belt states.
WB is a de-facto buffer state between India and the sovereign nation of Bangladesh. It will remain that way.
