There is an old Bengali storybook written in 70's or 80's, "Brajadar galpa samagra" or "Brajadar Gulgalpa" that I read when I was a kid, Brajada (Brajaraj Karfarma) was a character like Ghanada telling fake stories (gulgalpa) of his achievements to his fans & followers, Sunil, Sunit, etc. in some office. Brajada once told Sunit bitterly, "Bujhli Nite, Bangalir brain ar Kolkatar drain, dutoi atit, ekhon shudhu namei ache"! In the last page of the last story, Brajada said that he went for hunting (and training Jim Corbett) and there a very clever tiger ate him! Everybody protested; but you are still alive!! Brajada sighed in frustration, reminded them about the glorious past of the Bengalis, and concluded that Bengalis have already died and got eaten....'ei bacha ke ki ar bacha bole', he said!

So @LaBong , Brajada told us long back that Bengalis are dead, and if you compare our current work in literature, cinema, music, science, education and politics with that of the Bengali renaissance period, and up to our grandfathers' generation, then Brajada was not very wrong...someone like Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay is among the last of the remaining legends! Unfortunately, a resurrection of the lost glory is not in sight, I am not sure if this decay is because Bengalis have chosen to live in their glorious past, or a massive brain drain in Bengal, or the rampant politicization of every single institution of importance that are now producing lackeys of one political party or the other...but lackeys don't make legends. The 'Bengali pride' you are talking about is like the great Roman empire, all in the past! Considering the current situation in Bengal, I can't feel pride in our glorious past without being ashamed of our hopeless present. Maybe we can ask @scorpionx and @MilSpec about how they feel.

-------------------------------------------------
Coming to the petty politics, we Bengalis have made someone like Jyoti Basu our CM for five consecutive terms, someone who diligently destroyed everything of value in Bengal during his tenure, be it industries, scholarly institutions, or the democratic system itself. Then we got a Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, who, rather surprisingly, showed some promise to bring about some change. But that didn't suit us...and we kicked him out and rewarded a half-brained politician in opposition for her great work in driving out a high profile project like Tata small car plant (thereby destroying our chances of becoming another auto hub like Tamilnadu, Gurgaon or Pune), and eliminating the prospects of building world's 2nd largest petrochemical hub even in an almost no man's land like Nayachar.

Jyoti Basu once broke into the BBD Bagh office of HSBC Bank and threw away the first consignment of computers on the road, probably in 1981-82, a later course correction put us somewhere in the bottom of the IT hubs in India, Mamata understood the mistake and a further course correction has blocked all the new entrants in the Sector-V & New Town IT hub including the high profile companies like Infosys and Wipro (2nd campus). The IT hub of Kolkata is dying, along with it the real estate sector of Rajarhat is also dying, investments are already dead, and there is barely any new development in the once-fast-growing Rajarhat-New Town in last 4 years. Pride? No. I feel disgusted.

And which wing the opposition political parties belong to? Which political party in India doesn't play communal cards? I would rather choose a Modi, even at the cost of having to bear with the nuisance of certain yogis and sadhwis, if the alternative option is a Mamata, or a Lalu, Mulayam, Mayavati, or the Gandhi-duo. I won't make a void moral stand like "All political parties are bad" when choosing one is an inevitability.

You know, one of my professors was very active in fb during the Bihar election and I was also participating in his posts, and after the election result he posted about the "Bihari pride" and declared that now he feels very proud as a Bihari for the 'achievement' of the Biharis for routing the BJP in the election. I had to point out to him that Biharis have only voted in their traditional caste lines and the result was just political arithmetic (check the vote percentages of the last few polls in Bihar), and Lalu is now the biggest political force in Bihar. I wanted to tell him that to hell with such Bihari pride that makes someone like Lalu the single largest party and makes a learned IIM professor proud about it, but I didn't...he was my professor after all.

Btw, I remember how you and @Joe Shearer were making long arguments rejecting any political agenda behind the award-wapsi episode during the Bihar election, I went silent at one point thinking that I would rather dig up these threads a couple of weeks after the Bihar election; knowing that award-wapsi will stop right after the Bihar election, but later I decided to let it go. But @LaBong , let me tell you now why I was calling it a political campaign...the award-wapsi with massive media coverage was started by Nayantara Sahgal just FIVE DAYS before the 1st phase of the Bihar election, and the last of the high-profile award-wapsi with equally massive media coverage was concluded by Arundhuti Roy just A DAY BEFORE the last phase of the Bihar election, there were a few who might have returned their awards due to peer pressure or herd mentality during the period or maybe a a few days after the election also, but that was the gross timeline, and agenda. Now, I would have to work very hard NOT to see a obvious political agenda behind the whole episode, I chose not to work so hard and rather preferred to see what was the simple truth!

I do not agree with parts of your analysis, but there is no doubt whatsoever that it is brilliant and fundamentally correct in its analysis of the past of Bengal.

Your thoughts on the reasons for the award wapasi, if that is what it is being called nowadays, are hopelessly wrong, and based entirely on a jaundiced view of the reasoning and motivation of those involved, a view that I disagree with completely.

Let me leave it at that.

Tableau rejected, Telangana won't take part in R-Day ever - The Times of India

@Bombermanx1 Anna, how do you think KCR is doing as CM? [By the way are you @wolfchannze?]

Not something to laugh about bro, they were just karyakartas & not the leaders. & they were not karyakartas from the goodawadi parties.

I hope they are all right. @fsayed Are they out of danger, bhai?

At present KCR is doing somewhat ok with virtually no Opposition.He is pandering to Minorities for vote bank in future GHMC elections.Whatever Opposition TDP had put up before its now gone or finished.
regarding your other question,yes

Wonder what would you say if Pappu and his company had taken the same decision........

Pappu would never do it, the thinking itself is very different you see, lemme explain in simple terms

During UPA rule when oil prices go down they increase spending.

In NDA when prices go down they increase taxes to mop in more revenue and rein in fiscal deficit.

Areyy why is everyone ignoring poor chap @Rangila here :hitwall:

83% of total MPs are core patis . So naturally ministers will also be core patis in that proportion.

You posted Crore pati as well. Your master gandhi familiy comes in most richest politicians of earth. They have faked their educations and given false affidavit. Let those criminal cases to be proved first. Anybody can sue anybody. All ministers are reasonably clean. There is no charge of corruption on any minister in Modi government.

Congress lost because of that.
You want BJP to get finished off this way?
Then keep on ranting to your own peril.

But Modi is dishonest, thats why he is losing election after election.
Today he lost one more election.
Shame....
