I have seen nationwide agitation over corruption when Anna Hazare was on fast. Entire nation was on boil. Every networking page was full of strong sentiments towards corruption at the highest level. But I am not having statistics how many people of Bengal participated in it.How can be a state of India India Bengal has always witnessed since the time of independence is on the departure. A community feelings has set in.Seems little bothered about how the other part of the country is progressing. This state has produced maximum number of revolutionaries. While people like Netaji had tormented morale of British by mere strategy, people like Sir Ashutosh Mukherji always saved thousands freedom strugglers from shroud British by staying within the system? His son Late Shymaprashad Mukherji carried on that sentiments and preferred being a martyr in Kashmir . Is the ecucation system of Bengal is missing the core issue of Nationalism?
People will remember Mr.LK Advani repeatedly raised the issue of blackmoney stashed abroad during last Loksabha election. Before that we have seen even a Government illegally winning trust vote by only money power.Who was the speaker at that time? Shamefully a Bengali Mr.Sometnath Mukherji. Arguably the best Lawyer in the recent time.He made little effort to investigate the matter. When Mr.Julian Assange off Wikileaks,whose revelations caused downfall of Governments of Australlia,England
After winning last election of Loksabha it seems Manmohan Singh has given free licence to his cabinet ministers to practice corruption. CWG,2G,Adarsh and Swiss bank accounts holding almost budget of nearly four states? One minister is behind bar but his earned black money floated around freely during election of Tamilnadu recently. Each voter rewarded for voting for ruling alliance.Most surprisingly the media channels showed footage only after completion of election. It gives clear indication that most channels are bought by the huge money earned by the corruption.
Today Julian Assange has declared that he has seen Indian names in the list of A/c holders in Swiss bank.He has also said that attempts are being made to shut his mouth by Indian authorities. But Pranab is desperate not take suitable action.It only shows that number of prominent names who are very close to his party are in the list.Country has seen Anderson being flown out of the country after Bhopal tragedy.Country has seen wrong full playing with law during Reliance sponsored Cricket world cup but the fun is that every time when there is massive corruption in country we had only one Finance Minister Mr.Pranab Mukherji.
Today we have witnessed kind of anger in the common people when Kalmadi received a shoe on his face. It happened twice before on ministers of UPA govt. They enjoy shoes being thrown at them. But the question remains same. We have seen Shanglu committee report.The report clearly implicated Chief Minister of Delhi
I hope people of Bengal will proactively react in this election and resist these corrupt people come into the power.
Please ensure BJP Government rules Bengal to ensure smooth governance, industrialization and most importantly corruption free environment.

ReplyDeleteThe article is well written and reminds us the yeomen service Bengalis rendered to Nation for its emancipation from alien rule. We do wonder with the author then how come Bengal stooped so low as to lead the other end of the spectrum?
Of selfishness and aggrandisement and avarice that are the root cause of Corruption.
The answer is in the direction that Bengali youth took, under the misguidance of its Leftist ideologues.
Materialism had to displace Bengali Spiritual Nationalism- for Scientific Socialism alias Dialectical Materialism to become her credo.
Therein came the down slide.
What was best about Bengal is not that it has pretty parrots that rhyme the prosaic notes of an obsolete Guru of Marxism. But this militant spiritual revolutionary in the steely young man who was Naren. Later he captured the imagination of hordes of Revolutionaries who paved the way for political emancipation.
The minute this spiritual Nationalism was dropped and the macabre dogmas and grotesque logic of Marx, Engles, Stalin and the Naxalbari Cult of messianic monstrosity of chairman of China were articulated as the Road to Heaven, and millions of paralysed intellects that could deviate not from mouthing such inanities, the doom were sealed.
This is one feature that Bengali youth must now re acquire. A vigorous intellectual culture based on what are truly Bengal's genius and not some 19th century fungal mould from the coffins of long dead Anglo Saxon Marx and Engels.
Which fortunately is not altogether wiped out no matter how much this demented comrades had laboured- which is her Bengali Spiritual ethos, and its inseparable and unique gift to India which is that of the Rishi Bankim?
Just give me 100 men without any ego. And I will upturn the world said Swami Vivekananda.
Even if you could get just 10 among Bengalis such men, who would start the Renaissance, the rest shall spring forth from India.
Go and drink to the very depths and dregs of her Ganges, that is Bengali Hinduism and therein you shall have all you need to topple this Asura Rajya.
Come and sprinkle those holy waters and the Revolution had begun.
We have had enough of violent Revolutions that change nothing.
What we wait is a Revolution of Thought. All they need are in the complete works of Swami Vivekananda.
If Bengalis had devoted a millionth of time taking excerpts from Vivekanda's words, instead of Josef Stalin and Mao Tse Dung, they would have not been this pathetic spectacle of a fallen race and a failed people.
No one who lacks self respect and confidence can deserve a successful ending, and least the Bengali who spurns Bankim, Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo and keeps as priced treasures the dung of wastes of a cemetery of Marx where no thinking man would venture save cattle on lazy afternoons, and deem himself to be the most wise but plain to the world as so many vacuous craniums.
Return to your founts and return with the conquering vigour of a Bageeratha.
