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.
Matuas must remember the forces that drove them out. SAME FORCES ARE BACKBONE OF MAMATA. They should remember , those forces even drove out their supporter Taslima Nasrin from both Bangladesh and Kolkata.
MATUAS must remember the real fight is for “SECULAR VOTES ” and the main contenders are two “SECULAR PARTIES ” AIMIM AND TMC.
MATUAS must vote for a party which will not discriminate against HINDUS and protect their progressive culture from RIOTERS and FORCEFUL CONVERSION they encountered in Bangladesh.
