    " What Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow" , not appreciating this quote at all . It is quiet demeaning to rest of all.It is also very presumptuous and audacious with lots of hints of arrogance.
    I have seen many of Bengalee's talk like this , Let me tell you this sends the most horrible signal around , especially if you out of your regional state of W.Bengal with this mindset.

    Rest discussions and everything is fine.It is appreciated but not by means of demeaning others.


    I have been around the whole India , I have seen that each state culture religion cast creed color etc etc has its pros and cons..They are very high thinkers in lowest of strata to highest. We have to have a normal down to earth mindset and behave and treat every one equal and with respect without presuming things about other or self .. neither can we generalise anybody/any culture/anything.. Lets not be part of spreading more regionalism in India.

    Let me also write this here " What Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow" - it can be just proven wrong easily by many .

    First and foremost I want to make it very clear that with no intensions of animosity or acrimony towards any of the other regions of India was this thread started or the threads which pursued thereafter. As there were very few posts in the 'West Bengal' sub-forum and in order to inspire and encourage other posters who are Bengalees or interested to discuss Bengal was this thread posted. I had quoted Vivekananda-" Arise , Awake and Stop Not Till the Goal is reached " and side by side the wellknown quotation of the renowned freedom fighter Gopal Krishna Gokhale " What Bengal Thinks Today , India Thinks Tomorrow ".A search on the internet or going through some history books will easily remind this famous quote of one of Gokhale.He was very impressed by the bengal freedom fighters and their thoughts. If many Bengalees often quote Gopal Krishna Gokhale I find no fault in it if ofcourse it is done to indicate the present status of left-ruled West Bengal or to undermine any other region of India.As it may be evident in my post that I requested all other posters to write about Bengal in English and not stick to vernacular so that other ILites can also read the posts and comment on it as it has been done in the post prior to my latest reply and thanks for someone other than Bengalee to read with interest about Bengal and comment on the post. I hope many other ILites will agree with me without any prejudice as such that there was no intention of spreading regionalism in any of the posts. I don't think not much pains need to be taken to prove the erstwhile quotation of Gokhale wrong in the present situation rather it was quoted to inspire the Bengalees to not live in the twilight of past glory but to wake up once again as in the times of Our Indian Independence and do something worthwhile.Hope I have been clear enough in my statements in this post and no ambiguity as such is still there which needs further clarifications.
