1, The West Bengal that I have known , coming after 17 rears outsde, seems to me . I think, more a waste- bengal now. Also it reminds me of T.S Eliot's 'Waste Land'
2.Of course the word ' West Bengal ' is a fragmented name of genetic mutation and aftermath of Imperial Chess-game with political bankrupcy.
3. Following sriramakrisna, I say -if there is a West Bengal , there must be some East Bengal also . ( Like Matter-antimatter of Science). But there is no East baengal now but wholesome BANGLA DESH, bigger with hr National song from Rabindranath and better cultre , perhaps.I think, than that of some 'Waste Bengal'.
4. Dont believe ! Then listen tthrough some of the language of some pilitical stalwarts of this Land like;
i. "cupon porabo , -tatey tore kee?" {this 'tui-takari' coming from an educated , top-class brahmin political leader !
ii. 'Mattha guriye Debo ' - from another Brahmin Top -Class !
iii Or' O - to pagole hoye -gechhey' . iv. or 'Uni to Khokababu . Iv . 'Setto ekta Caricature'.
Iv.Won't mention some Mr A. Basu I think his jestures were worse than his words.!
In stead of raising politico-Economic Crisis of a State and discussing them with mature back-ground data , I heard and learnt more abusive words and slangs in my octogeneranian living.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Better I don't mention about some TV-Channel talks/ debates. For, they were really modern enlectronic device or Noise-making machines , 90% of which were , rather , shouting -game , drowing each others voice with rotthen material and 0-grade debating skill. And the noderator or Conductor of such shows also novice, - with no skill to control a debate and alloted time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Of Course I I know Rabindranath came here 150 years back. And his original home was in East Bengal ( jessore ). Those who are genetically programmed to dance and sing without back-ground information may go back to history/ biography again or now.
Even Msdhusudan dutta was a 'a Banngal'i.e from Jessore and Jibananda das from Barisal.
So , it seems West Bengal is now turned to Eliot's ,Waste Land, (or Waste Benal) and without its other half (anti-matter) i.e 'East benga'l.And for more than six decades, after1947 , 'buddhijibis' have not noticed the way they are slipping black.
So ! what more can grow 'here ' except political verbal slang and Mud-slinging sport!! ong with gun-fire, burning and killing !
