three out of six; Amartya sen, mother teressa, and Robindronath tagore,

1. Tagore's estate was in BD.

2. Teressa's Nobel is a curious case. Unless it was to promote Christianity in SA, it doesn't really square out. Anyway, she wasn't even married to an Indian like Rajiv.

3. Amaratya Sen is ours. He was born and brought up here and later carried a British passport.

4. Dr Abdus Salam of Pakistan had also studied, lived and worked in Calcutta.

5. And we have our own Mohammad Yunus. It is rumored he might get another Nobel. For economics this time.

 

[Skallagrim]

^^huh..don't think Amartya calls BD his home... be content with Yunus.

Bangladeshis never cease to amuse! Amartya was born in Shantiniketan, did his graduation from Presidency college and an Indian citizen. Only thing Bangladesh has ever done to him is to confesticate his ancestral property using Enemy Property Act.

Eventually they want to unite with BD. They are fed up of being treated as second class by the Delhi Govt.

Actually bro, we have nothing to do with these guys. They are all very patriotic indians and very hindu nationalists at that. Rabindronath kintu communal chilo , jotoi sha communal harmonir khoto boluk na keno. Sha bharotiyo jatiotabade bisas korto, suckular sell out bangali jatiotabade noi. Amartaseno hindu jatiotabade bishashi. Khali BDer khetre , ora aktu apar bangla opar banglar git gai ,ar behai-a awami Indian dalal gula tota pakhir moto ta repeat kore. They are inherently cunning. For us they are just Indians who only happen to speak our language.

( for Indians: relax , I didn't use any rude slanderous language toward your west bengali brothers)

These guys belong to a jamati alternate universe, this particular poster consider mukti bahinis as terrorists. Tagore was no doubt communal to them.

mate who told you that Mr.Atmartya Sen is a bangladeshi!he was born in undivided bengal but his upbringing was done in Shantiniketan,West Bengal as he migrated to W.B. with his mother after his father's death!so in no way he is a bangladeshi.his mother and his entire maternal family live in W.B. so he's ours and he accepts it too.and regarding Tagore,well he is a thorough kolkatan and also a proud kolkatan!so it speaks about him.you guys should be happy for Mohd. Yunus,he is really a great guy who has done a lot of things for Bangladesh!

 

[Mike_Brando]

but they were Kolkatans for their entire lives.i think you are missing the fact that at that time there was no W.B. and Bangladesh,it was only one Bengal,so we all should be proud of them(because brother is religion matters that much!).at the end of the day we are all the same

What a display of exuberant jamaati behaviour. They say about such people that those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it. The epigram might have been designed for the Bangladeshi razakar lobby.

 

[Joe Shearer]

He didn't say anything involving Bangladesh/Bangladeshis. Your perception of Bangladeshis is based on posts of Bangladeshis here condemning the Indian politicians and their policies regarding Bangladesh which you automatically translated into hatred for Hindus.

Not here, not now, maybe. But you are in a slim minority of Bangladeshi posts which are reasonable, no, wait, not virulent attacks on India, Indians, Indian Bengalis. It is that trend in posts that we resent and dislike, not condemnation of Indian politicians or their policies regarding Bangladesh.

More imbecile maunderings.

Tagore's work was not concerned with his estate or its location; it was his personal creativity. The world, certainly the Bengali world, knows him as a Jorasanko resident with his main sphere of work being Santiniketan.

Again, Mother T was a curious case only to religious bigots like you. She was not awarded a Nobel for conversions; you might like to re-read her citation, in case you have actually read it before. She never 'promoted' Christianity, unless to you, leading a Christian life amounts to evangelisation. I would not be surprised if it does, you being you. She was given a prize for her work with the poor, which was largely, but certainly not exclusively, in Calcutta.

About Amartya Sen, you are really being dense. He was educated and lived in Santiniketan; he was advised to pursue his career and his professional future by those who saw his leftist sympathies blocking his further progress. His former wife, Nabaneeta Dev Sen, is still an active cultural figure in Calcutta, and his daughters by that marriage are doing very well in India, thank you very much.

Nobody ever counted Dr. Abdus Salam as an Indian, leave alone a Calcutta nominee for the Nobel. Since you mention that he was Pakistani, you might also mention that the authorities defaced his tombstone to remove the word Muslim from it. After winning the prize, he flew first to Pakistan, where he was received with cold propriety by Zia. He then flew into Delhi, where he was greeted with joy and adulation. My brother-in-law used to travel to Trieste every year, and this was a pilgrimage made by very many of the best Indian, and Bengali, physicists, who loved Salam and his intellect, and his all-embracing humanity.

It is a great honour for any nation to have Mohammad Yunus for a citizen. Congratulations on the way you have shown your respect for him and his work.
