We escapist Bengalis seem to delight in living in denial or look to alien ideologies to fit Indian needs. Hence the resentment, widespread mayhem and the self-inflicted violence against our people. When will we learn our lessons from history?

There are people inside the CPM (along vertical lines) that has realized that the Communists are becoming a pawn in the hands of pan-Islamism. But they really cant be vocal because that would mean 2 things 1. Ideologically ditch the reds and join the saffons. 2. Lose all the benefits of being a red in Bengal and wait forever for the saffrons to come to power which will never happen because of Bengal demographics and the fact that Trinamool is pro islamist too. Slowly the realization will come in a more effective way, but my fear is, as always it would be too late. Again. @ naiverealist WTF, Wanderer and Yourfan 2

But the communists have taken Bengal to the ditch. I wonder how institutions such as Ramakrishna Mission have survived in this land. The best medicine is not hatred but reading <i>more</i> about what Sri Chaitanya had said. the parties who mean well for Bengal should get involved in constructive work. @ yourfan2
