Being a Bengali and born and brought up in Bengal it's difficult to stay away from the fate of Bengal as an Indian. Bengal has been diligently taken to task in the post independence period by several governments of multiple political colors under state and union. The shades and process has been different.
At the age of 18 I first wrote for a Bengali Little Magazine that when my father today discusses political aspects of Bengal I find it difficult as political truth need not be debated anymore. I understood then how Bengal has been taken to task. I'm possibly a representative of the young minds then who finds the same conclusion. I understand the sentiment of the generation of my father and I also understand their sentiments regarding the theoretical debate.
The above paragraph seems to be a bit irrelevant with regard to the topic but still has a relevance with regard to the fact that understanding over time is a relevant process.
In the last 5 years we find a consistent voice in the democratic process for a change of political party. The change is not regard to any ideology but a 'consistent' frustration within people over time with regard to aspects which dominate day to day lives of people.
Is is a probable change of political color at the state very positive and would it take place? Would it change common people's lives?
What could be the effective scenario to bring in an effective change?
These are mere questions waiting for revelation and debate. Confusion in mind is backed by a mere hopelessness amidst a zeal to get some light from positive debate and fruitful thinking. Just prove me wrong and give me evidence that Bengal has some light ahead of this tunnel.
