In India, Bengalis seek to recapture their glory as intellectuals

[Joe Shearer]

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)

The imbecile chorus in full flow.

There could not have been a more secular and humanistic person than Tagore. As you probably do not know, being an imbecile, he was a Brahmo, not a Hindu, and far removed from any parochial feeling. But to you all kaffirs probably look, sound and smell the same.

You really have a ****** mind.

The best of all, Two Bose are from Dhaka. (Jagdish and Satyendra)

I will put them above all of those nobel laureate of sub continent.

I would agree with your putting them above all the Nobel Laureates, other than C. V. Raman, who was truly a great scientist, or his nephew Chandrasekhar. And that is as far as science goes; there is little point in comparing Tagore with either of them, or Amartya Sen.

however, it is a pity that Satyen Bose could not feel secure in Bangladesh, and spent his last years in Calcutta. I remember being taken to see the great man in his north Calcutta house, shortly before his death.

By the way, although Jagadish Bose belonged to Bikrampur, like we did, he spent all his working life in Calcutta, and died in Giridih.

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!

I have a quibble with your account of Amartya Sen.

Professor Asutosh Sen was very much alive when the family shifted from Manikganj to West Bengal, and took up residency in Calcutta and Santiniketan, where Amartya Babu's mother's father, Kshiti Mohan Sen, had roots. The father built his Calcutta house in Mondal Temple Lane, in New Alipore, next to ours. Amartya Babu was born in his grandfather's house, as a lady returning to her father's house at the time of child-birth used to be the custom in those days, but was schooled in St. Gregory's in Dhaka, which was also the alma mater of people like N. P. Sen and others of his family, including Mohit Sen.

Just to keep the record straight.

Calcutta was the capital of British Raj and it was quite natural for people to migrate there to pursue their carreer. Its probably no more the case for Calcutta and so the decline.

After independence Bengalis intellectuals like Tagore or Bankim were kept with high regards by non-Bengalis in India, what was the situation in Bengali majority Pakistan.

I pray that it does. India needs the old Bengal back.

Well the thread is about Bengalis not Calcutta.

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.

1. Have you been to the Tagore Museum, Jorasakoe? Even the visitors' book entries have to be in English or Hondi! No Bangla, because it is supposed to be a Union Govt affair!! Tagore was not a Hindu. He and his entire family were Brahmos which is a social reformist revolt against the Hindu faith. But Tagore disliked, detested and looked down upon the Muslims whom he called Jabon, a derogatory term. He came out all guns against the establishment of Dhaka University which he saw as seed of a Muslim renaissance in Bengal. He was again vehemently opposed to the separation of Bengal viewing E Bengla to be a future base for the Bengalee Muslims to recover their lost glory taken away by the English Co in preference of the submissive Hindus.

2. Have you ever been to Kolkata? Go and visit its slums and ask anyone there if he/she has heard of Teressa? No one ever heard of her there. It's all a NGO B/S and a ploy to give her a Nobel. Or ask Pakistani activist Tariq Ali. He knows few things about her.

3. Amaratya is very much ours. You even mis-spell his name! Nabaneeta is history. He is very much happy with his Jewish wife, who belongs to the powerful Rothschild clan.

4. Saalam is a Qadyiani. As such he is not a Muslim.

5. Yunus is our hero. We all love him, and are hoping he will get a second Nobel. This time for economics. It is only the Indian poodle we have here who is jealous of him believing she should have got the award instead!!! She even believes her dad should have got a posthumous Nobel breaking the system to suit her tantrums.

6. Bengalees of P/bangla are down trodden, unhappy and feel second class/colonialized. The High Cast/Brahmins, the affluent, well educated and clever/smart lot are either going overseas or are settling elsewhere in India. The Low Cast are mostly left behind waiting to unite with BD and NE as well as Bihar-Orissa. The last sovereign state of the land, Bangla-Bihar-Orissa is everyone's dream.

7. An imbecile, like a loco, usually calls others also imbecile. I take no offence.

What can one say about the imbecile who objects to spellings of others but uses Jorasakoe instead of Jorasanko to transliterate a perfectly well-understood usage? Or the many-splendoured imbecility that prompts a second-class citizen of Canada to ask if I have been to Calcutta when my location says something clear and explicit? Or the genius who instructs me how to write a fellow Baidya's name?

What is Amaratya, by the way? Perhaps even imbeciles might benefit from a crash course in Kaffir names and their English renderings. And of course Nabaneeta is history; Amartya Sen's east Bengal provenance is pre-history, as is mine and that of many Bengalis from India and Bangladesh writing here, including the mad dog from the US.

If Professor Salam was not Muslim, and is not Bengali, on what grounds do you list him with 'yours'? Or are we to understand from your babbling that Raman and Chandrasekhar are also yours now?

It is pitiful to read the reality behind the rabid attacks on India, on Indians, on Indian Bengalis: that the imbecile fringe hopes and prays for a union of Bangladesh with West Bengal, Bihar and Odisha for their salvation. Clearly Sarat Bose and Kiran Sankar Roy were wrong in 1947, and the rest of the provincial Congress Committee were right. Narrow escape from being another imbecile.

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

I can't be sure if this guy is just joking or if he's serious

I can't be sure if this guy is just joking or if he's serious

Funniest thing is this guy is apparently quite old, probably around my dad's age or even older! Now imagine a dad aged person talking bs on the interwebs

Could be the onset of senility.
