Another way of looking at it is that many of these dignitaries were spared witnessing the violence when their dreams of an independent India became a reality in 1947.
Even 78 years after his death, Rabindranath Tagore remains much like a God for Bengalis. Several of the poet-playwright's works still need to be adequately explored.
The face of Swadeshi artistic movement, the Bengal School of Art, Bose projected Indian subjects in his art that drew from the Bengali folk traditions.
The Italian term sprezzatura—a studied nonchalance that conceals intention—best captures the spirit of Trump’s foreign policy so far. The pattern is unpredictability, transactionalism, and disruption as diplomacy.
With 20.2 percent of its total loans in default by the end of last year, Bangladesh had the weakest banking system in Asia. Despite reforms, it will take time to recover.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
People can pass screwed opinions on Calcutta, its present state and other things as much as they wish. However, their opinions CAN NEVER change the bitter truth that it has been home to, not just one, but 6 Nobel Prize Winners.
Whoever is ranting against Calcutta, just take this fact on your face, accept the fact and move on in your miserable life!
Most Bengalis think the world revolves around them. For them, Kolkata is the best city in the world. If one makes any comments on Calcutta’s public transport, people will protest and say, ‘Are you from japan? ‘
There’s a reason behind that. The solecistic class wont understand this; otherwise the city wouldn’t have been ahoy as the Cultural Capital of India
For an uninitiated like you, let me inform you that Calcutta still has got the most diverse forms of public transport in the entire nation with affordable fares.
Accept this bitter truth and move on in your wretched life!
Amazed to read the comments of “erudite” citizens – speaking for or against the article. Can’t we do anything, rather discuss anything without polarising ourselves? An article gives information – so if there is any wrong knowledge sharing, correct the same. But this pro and against Bengali mud slinging is really unbecoming of “erudite” people. Request u all to exercise your judgement
Strange article. Not sure if all the people listed above have a Kolkata connection as the author fantasises and if so winning a Nobel prize is anyway connected. True that native Bengalis are a cerebral people and make excellent theoreticians. However when it comes to putting theory into practice, the result is Waste Bengal.
Please correct the facts about Ronald Ross. He made the discovery of Anopheles mosquito being the carrier of the malarial parasite while working in the Secunderabad cantonment in Hyderabad under the British Army medical services, not in Kolkatta.
Bengalis are desperate to stay relevant, their poverty stricken economy, massive public debt, hooligans notwithstanding, one way of doing this is to claim success and bask in others sunshine, it shows a deep inferiority complex, a need to stay relevant in a fast changing India, claiming charlatans like Teresa, who tarnished Calcutta’s name forever in the west, or even tenuously claiming links CV Raman, a South Indian . Bengal is still in denial mode, 100 years later, that it’s now a least developed poverty struck blackHole

I’m pretty sure Abhijit was born in Bombay, raised in Calcutta – no?

You’re a spectacular waste of an ovum.
@Vish, I can buy you a burnol, if you wish!

Jealous huh!! Apply some burnol!! No north Indian has half the intellect of Bengali or a Tamilian.
Let me guess, you’re a jealous North Indian who only make headlines for lynching and rapes. Keep Burnol handy. ?
@Raj, Apply burnol if you are still burning!
Kailash Satyarthi, also of Indian origin like Abhijit was Hargovind Khorana.
Well, seems like you guys have left out Kailash Satyarthi. The 2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Typical Kolkatan desire to bask in reflected glory.
agreed.
Most Bengalis feel they know the solution to every problem in the world, except their own.
@Gopal, Bengalis don’t try to solve everything by rape, lynching and female genocide.
@Udaya Bose, At least we have glory to bask in.
You guys have nothing but rape, lynching and female genocide to take pride in!
It must be all the fish they eat. Cerebral people.
Now *that* was a cerebral comment NOT !
