West Bengal is an Indian state in the eastern part of the country, and the only one in India with an incumbent woman Chief Minister — Mamata Banerjee.
The region, which was the political heart of the Bengal Presidency during British Rule, was divided into East and West Bengal in 1947. Bengal was a hotbed of the Indian Independence movement and has remained one of the country’s great artistic and intellectual centres, being home to Nobel laureates Rabindranath Tagore, Mother Teresa, Amartya Sen and Abhijit Banerjee as well as freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose and Oscar winner Satyajit Ray.
Geographically, the state is happily situated with the Himalayas in the north and the Sundarbans in the south. It shares a roughly 2,200-sqkm border with Bangladesh (East Bengal at the time of Partition).
For the first 30 years, the Congress ruled Bengal, but made way for Left domination for the next 34 years. In 2011, Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress — a breakaway from the Congress — came to power.
This article talks about everything except answering why RaGa is fascinated with the left. The answer is simple. RaGa is an entitled princeling, to whom everything was handed over on a platter. He never really had to work for anything. This explains his inclination to the left that believes in taking resources from the hard working and handing it over to the hardly working. Possibly some kind of guilt for having been born with a silver spoon. The fact that most leftists are from economically or socially privileged backgrounds, who never had to earn their own living, confirms this.
