    Through the 34-year-old Left rule in West Bengal, the state came to be characterised as a “party society”, where everything from government schemes to marriage proposals was routed through the party. Under TMC, this “party society” has transformed into a “Bahubali society”.

      Relation between New Delhi and West Bengal is exactly the same as Islamabad and East Bengal prior to 1971.
      West Pakistan also used to say similar things about East Bengal.
      Today look where is Pakistan and where is Bangladesh?
      Without autonomy from India things will only get from bad to worse not only for Bengal but entire eastern region.
      This is the reason why South India too wants to separate from the over populated Hindi India.

      Just in January this year in bihar one yr old girl were killed by her maternal uncle because her mother did intercaste marriage. No one reported, search it
      Im not saying bengal is very good. Im just saying there are many evils that bengal has remove from there culture. And they need to improve. See sex ratio at birth as per NHFS statewise, u would find only in bengal female foeticide is not happening.
      In 2019 , Uttarakhand in 132 villages no girl child was born for born for three months, search it.
      Search writing "honor killings intercaste in west Bengal/bihar/Tamilnadu/Rajasthan/UP etc" And go to news section. You would be shocked that only in "anti hindu" Bengal father don't kill their daughter for marrying other caste. In other places they kill daughter for marrying other caste but they never kill son for marrying other caste.
      Bengal society is far better in many sense. But yes obviously they need to improve.
      In bengal crimes aren't committed by parents, but politicians but in other states parents doing these crime and they come in comment to pour out their bengali hatred. They never criticise themselves rather hide their crimes on blanket of being "virat hindu".

Muslim community is the rulling class of Bengal, nobody can deny it. Only big part of Kolkata, Darjeeling, Undivided Medinipur are Hindu dominated area but border districts are filled with 'Seikh Shahjahan'. They have huge amount of money, political power. 35% a important vote bank which is important for any party.
    West Bengal has no big industry and we will never get until we destroy the present system and establish healthy society.
    At the end We hope,we will achieve our goals.

    One major issue which no one concentrates on is the weakening of bureaucratic institutions....in Bengal a local panchayat or a municipality has the complete say in distribution of the funds or privileges to the people.... district bureaucracy is merely tasked with dispensation of the funds..... since decades local political powers have been given more authority than bureaucrats...this removed the checks and balances which government intuitions should bring and aided the political parties who were controlling the state to act with impunity ..... that's why it is so difficult to remove any party from power in Bengal

      Those people from UP Bihar came to Howrah and the mofussil cities of Kolkata much earlier during the heyday of the jute mills. Not many new migrants from UP Bihar come these days, whereas more Bengalis these days flock to Noida in UP. Ever come to Noida during the Pujas and see for yourself hundreds of Bengali Durga Puja committees there. If we count the total number of Durga Puja committees in the whole Delhi NCR, the number will go into thousands.

    The political history of West Bengal has been more or less the same during the 34 years under the Left and at present also. The scarcity of industrial development and organised agricultural development has led to widespread unemployment. The present Govt. has handed over the governence to the local influencers, who have grown so powerful that they gone out control of the party. Now both the party and State are being run by the these local influencers, the police and administrative machinery is also helpless.

This is only increased many-fold under the TMC. Clear from Firhad Hakim's quip: inshallah, 50% people of the state will speak Urdu very soon.

    There has been a concerted effort to keep urban intelligentsia away from mainstream politics of the state. This can partly be traced to the remnants of the zamindari + colonial revenue collection system ( which couldn't be effectively dismantled because the Centre demands it's pound of flesh every quarter, and they shall not be denied ). The other aspect is the ideological rift btwn the Left and the Congress, leading to mutual distrust`and each party working as competing fiefs. Even as Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and even Philippines moved towards one party rule.

    What has happened with West Bengal also happened to East Bengal prior to 1971.
    Economic exploitation of East Bengal by West Pakistan led to demand for autonomy of East Pakistan and eventually birth of Bangladesh.
    It is not only West Bengal but entire resources rich eastern India is suffering due to the exploitative and extractive policies of the central government in New Delhi ruled by political parties over which the eastern states have little to no influence.
    Development of eastern states will only happen when eastern states gain economic autonomy.
    Otherwise things are only going to get worse.

Secondly, even multi storey buildings did not leave car parking slots and municipality agreed with this regressive idea in a metro city. CPM said, we have provided easy bus travel, so why aspire for a car or car parking space ?
    CPM bludgeoned the society so much that wedding invitation cards were printed with different bus routes to reach the venue. I have not seen such wedding cards in any other metro city or even smaller cities.

      You have least sense about how the left rule and now TMC rule has destroyed Bengal entirely. Due to lefts anti capitalist policy, no industrial growth was there in bengal during Jyoti Basu era. Left even opposed bringing computer in the state, that caused the silicon valley project to shift to Bangalore and it became India's IT hub. Left's general strike culture and over-appeasement of the worker unions brutally ruined the state's work culture, resulting into huge fall in the amount and quality of productivity and overall economy. Left even did little every thing to stop metro rail projects in Kolkata. After Buddhadeb Babu came, he started the reforms in economic policy to grow industry by promoting capital investment even through strong opposition from his own pary and other left front allies. But it was so late to do. Mamata even stopped it, now Bengal has become industryless, kangla state, due to mamata. We will remain the same due to our so called pseudo secular nature.
