:lol: I was not questining the patriotism of bengalis. Sad that you took it that way. [/QUOTE]
I didn't read what you wrote. I replied to [MENTION=3698]bose about his apologetic tone where he insists that Bengalis are patriotic!
The problem, is the the Bengali Hindus like any civilized and thinking group of people do not vote en block and supports who the individual thinks to be fit to represent him. But the Muslim population are a wholly different bowl of soup. Particularly, the illegals as they depend on the political parties so much, the parties can count on their en block vote.
there seems to be a view circling in web community that the average Bengalis do not mind the illegals coming from BD. Actually, we mind and mind quite a bit! I personally hate it, and in my childhood I hated even the Hindus coming from that side - and still dislike. But the Muslims coming are more trouble and we definitely want them gone - and most around me do too. But there simply is NO political will to it!
Just imagine how worse the situation in Bengal is that people are forced to elect the govt. headed by a loony like Mamata!
And, bro don't worry. WB is never going to unite with BD, ever. Fact is, I wonder why such a wild suggestion might even come to anyone's mind, as not a single bengali - from WB - have even given a single thought about such a stupid idea!
have you heard of famous bengali Adda? We, the Bengalis, love to argue intellectually - and that love has gotten us here. We are too much ideologically motivated than to look into the pragmatic side of the things.
