Singapore’s former Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, once said:

“Missionaries did their best to convert India and China to Christianity, but their plan failed, they managed to convert only a very small number of people.”

Make sure you listen to the last two lines he spoke…

[Bitan Chakraborty @crispeconomiX]

I am a Non Resident Bengali. I was born and brought up in Delhi. Apart from yearly visits to Kolkata during summer vacations, I stayed continuously in Kolkata for 2 years only- during MBA. And that stay removed the rose tinted glasses.

There are 3 things that jolted me- generic dilapidation, civic apathy and abject urban poverty. My friends from CU/JU wore "You can travel the entire city and eat if you have 100 in your pocket" as badge of honor. You see half the people would starved as they did not earn 100 a day.

Apart from IIMC which places almost everyone outside WB , every B-School struggled to place anyone within the city that paid more than 3 LPA. There were just no jobs. The students at these B-Schools boasted of being from Xavier, Brabourne etc. and were 'koop mandook'.

Most of the people I knew of then are not in Kolkata. Some realized early, some late. But they realized. No one wants to go back. And then you see some random Bong NRIs clownishly dancing with placards saying 'Don't vote BJP'. Really? You bloody left because leftists destroyed industries and TMC appeased the peaceful folks to the hilt.

In my ancestral village, everyone from my father's gen either has a small shop or is a party worker. Their sons while away their time at nooks, smoke weed. I always thank my father who decided in '78 that it is time to leave Bengal. Visionary. Else I would be one of those guys.

I don't know if the situation Bengal can be reversed. Most Bengalis are too poor and really want that 1000-2000 every month. Elites are co-opted. Sliver of middle class wants to go out. Even if BJP comes somehow, all gundas might shift en masse to BJP. Then what?

We Bengalis need to bring changes from within. Too much of marinating in past glory and 'Amartya Sen maachher matha kheye boro hoyechhen, tuio khaa', has done us in. I don't know how. I don't see light at the end of the tunnel.

[Srishti @srishticodes]

Everyone says “AI will take all the jobs.”

If that happens… how does this future actually work?

No jobs → no income → no spending.
So who buys things? Who pays rent? Who keeps the economy moving?

What am I missing here?

@CrimsonP_ It's completely fine to not like an anime, which everybody likes. Everybody has different tastes and its completely fine. (recently watched Vinland Saga)
