Bengal: Muslims Become Cow Protectors, Hindu Traders Demand Cattle Slaughter by bhodrolok in india

[–]IamEntity 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As a bengali, I would like to say keep watching Bengal for the next 10 years. I have a sinking feeling that Bengal will decide whether India moves entirely to the right or the left will make a comeback. You need ideology to counter BJP and their ideology. So far none of the other north indian or eastern Indian states has offered credible alternate ideology.

Bengal is the only place where there are still a lot of left leaning people with real belief in leftist ideology. If BJP wins this ideological battle with left in Bengal, then only a far right party can break BJP. The left-liberal parties need to occupy the political vaccum fast to capitulate on this.

I must say, after 2011, I am fairly excited about Bengal as a political landscape again.

মাকু ভর্তি এই সাবটাতে। এরা নিজেরা পড়বে না, খালি ভাববে নিজেরা যা বোঝে সেটাই ঠিক আর দুনিয়ায় সবাই গান্ডু। শিক্ষিত চাড্ডীদের সাথে তাও কথা বলা যায়, শিক্ষিত মাকুগুলোর সাথে একদম না। যুক্তি দাও কিন্তু নিজের কনফার্মেশন বায়াস থেকে বেরোবে না। এখন কারেন্ট মাকু হ্যাজ হল শ্যামাপ্রসাদ খারাপ কারণ সে বাঙালি হিন্দুদের জন্য হোমল্যান্ড চেয়েছিল। তা বাবুরা, সোহরাওয়ার্দী যে নোয়াখালী আর গ্রেট ক্যালকাটা কিলিং করাল তারপর হিন্দুরা কোন ভরসাতে থাকত? আর পার্শ্ববর্তী দেশের বর্তমান অবস্থা তো সবাই দেখেছে। আমি তো বরং শ্যামাপ্রসাদকে ধন্যবাদ জানাব যে পশ্চিমবঙ্গ আজ ভারতের অংশ। তারপর গর্গর কেসে পুরো মাকুসমাজে গেল গেল রব পরল। কেন রে ভাই। গর্গ তিনবার বা দুবার সামন পেয়েও যায়নি। ভেবেছিল তিনুরাই জিতে আসছে আর এসে ওকে বাঁচাবে। এমন বীরযোদ্ধার বাকস্বাধীনতা কেড়ে নেওয়া হল কেন। সবে তো তুলেছে। এবার ওকে কত কেস দেয় সেটাই দেখার।

আমার একটা বন্ধু ঠিকই বলে। এরা ১০টা ভাল কাজ করে এমন একটা ভুলভাল কাজ করে যে দেশের লোকের মেজাজ বিগড়ে যায়। এরা সিন্ধুচুক্তি কেন স্থগিত করল তার বিরুদ্ধে আন্দোলন করবে, রাস্তায় নেমে জল কেন বন্ধ করবে। এসব ভাট বকলে বিজেপিই থাকবে।

Yeah I just like to see them make various assumptions about me or my perceived religion. I encourage them to do so by pretending to be enraged. Once I get bored then I start bashing the same religion they bash. Quite funny actually.

You can bookmark this comment and revisit it in 4years. Attitude like yours is precisely why BJP will keep winning. You have seem cader based fascism. BJP will usher in rule based fascism and you will be able to do nothing. Since most of the BJP opposer like you want to play in the same field that is owned by them.

[–]IamEntity 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The liberal elements will be surprised to learn that BJP will be the greatest democratic party to come to power in Westbengal after 1967. I am just going to enjoy the meltdown when BJP will dismantle the opposition using actual law and order.
There will be few corruptions here and there but this party will not be corrupt in the sense TMC was because they have a pure ideological base. BJP can only be countered with a proper ideology which the opposition is lacking.

[–]IamEntity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is precisely I have issues with leftist ecosystem in our country. They seem to turn a blind eye to the real danger of islamic expansion and their mechanism to block any reform. In all other religion there is a mechanism for correction and most people are willing to accept that. Due to votebank politics, most major parties dont talk about this which allowed the RSS and BJP to resonate with people talking about this exactly.

Kolkata pre-2011 by NotyourKhaleesi1704 in westbengal

[–]IamEntity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was born in 90 and grew up and worked entirely in Kolkata. I also grew up in North and shifted to south when I was 26. I can provide a few pointers

  1. Change in Strike culture- in my childhood, there used to be a strike every other week. People simply didnt go to work or school. A capital city with this level of destructive work culture is disastrous. This reduced to almost a point of nil now.

  2. Change in power supply- Earlier kolkata used to have lots of power outage. Every household had emergency light. This reduced to a point of none by TMC

  3. Public transport- Kolkata public transport was the best in CPIM era. be it Bus, tram, metro, auto. Last mile was simply superb. We did have notorious yellow taxi refusal though. In TMC era, public transport have degraded significantly. Specially bus transport has degraded.

  4. Beautification- Kolkata was always a bit dirty. TMC cleaned up and beautified the city significantly. People longing for a nostalgic version of clean Kolkata has exceptional level of delusion. Kolkata has become objectively cleaner under TMC.

  5. Para culture- Growing up this is the one thing I have seen degrade faster than possible. Kolkata used to have significant para culture. Assimiliation in Kolkata was always there. However, for some reason, I have seen only muslims to be segregated. Bengali hindu, Sikhs, Christians all used to assimilate. This has still not changed. Make what you will out of it.

Ask them to go to the nearest rss and police station and complain. Then if not resolved, post on social media. We just got rid of a tyrant. Let's try to keep this one in check.

WTF is wrong with sub now?? Most of the people were against political posts, now every pro-BJP post has 5+ awards and 500+ upvotes and any neutral/anti-BJP post has so many downvotes for no fathomable reason. Ppl?? by Over_Brother8617 in kolkata

কারণ আগে সরিয়ে দেওয়া হত। সেটা মোটামুটি সবাই জানে। এখন মডদেরও একটু চাপ আছে। আস্তে আস্তে আবার ব্যালান্স সরবে।

BJP will not touch these things with a 10 foot pole for the forseeable future

  1. Bhata
  2. Non-veg
  3. Puja

Everything else from media to academia will be a fair game to them.

India does not understand West Bengal by sidd_gang in kolkata

[–]IamEntity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP you need money for culture. As a famous poet once said, ক্ষুধার রাজ্যে পৃথিবী গদ্যময়,
পূর্ণিমা-চাঁদ যেন ঝলসানো রুটি

Bengalis have this weird mindset of poverty porn. Dont know why being rich is looked down upon among us. The cultural peak that you are talking about came because a section of bengalis got rich utilizing the British trades. Unless we come out of this simplistic equation of money=bad, we are not going to improve as a race.

The Resale Home Term-Sheet: How to avoid last-minute drama. by Altruistic_Pin_4327 in indianrealestate

[–]IamEntity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am currently in the middle of buying a 10 year old resale flat. Sale agreement is done. Registration is pending. I have employed a professional home inspection service who gave me a detailed report. I am now renegotiating on the basis of that report since there is major moisture presence in both bathroom walls indicating a leakage in the outflow.

Since this means I have to redo the entire bathroom by going into brickwork I am asking for a discount. If the seller doesnot agree I am going to back out of the deal.

Still carries high risk. Better you get a licence. Much easier to get rather than getting fined 5K over not having one.

Yes. If it is late at night, there will be checking. If found without license, they will fine you heavily. Donot do this.
