Given the condition Bengal finds itself in today, whatever @swapan55 does is likely to be viewed as progress.
When you're starting with nearly ₹8 lakh crore in debt (Used primarily to fund freebies rather than development and Infra), an exodus of thousands of companies and policy priorities that seem detached from economic reality, the bar isn't exactly set very high.
At this point, the challenge isn't taking Bengal from good to great. It's taking it from worse to better.
And frankly, it would take extraordinary effort to make things worse than they already are.
@ARanganathan72@vinodsingh_75@swapan55 Swapan may be a man of liberal arts - but he is one of those rare Bengalis who have a business and industrialist genes. His family ran Calcutta Chemicals - the makers of Margo Soap among other products.
Dr @swapan55 inherits a Bengal wrecked by financial ruin (₹8 lac crore debt), anti-corporate policies (7,000 companies have taken flight), and insane mismanagement (₹5,800 crore for Minority Affairs versus ₹80 crore for Science & Tech).
But if anyone can, he can. Best wishes.
Clarification. I didn’t realise this had gone viral. Mayank is my kid. I’d sent him to give me a ground report on the CJP protest on 6th. You’re trolling him is NOT COOL. He’s a through & through nationalist. Also couldn’t you see from the smirk he was being sarcastic?

AI can make you smarter faster but AI can also make you dumber faster.
I would not encourage AI adoption too early by school or college students, until they learn the fundamentals right.
Terracotta fragment of Devi Durga, 200 BCE, Chandraketugarh, Bengal
She wears a headdress with 10 weapons (only 5 shown here because the other half of sculpture is broken off) arrayed in a fanlike fashion. Notice the distinctive Chandrabindu on her forehead,
It’s been over 2000 years yet we still worship Ma in the same form with the same symbols. And yet some charlatans want to dismiss such millennia old civilizational continuity so casually.
Time to use the old American phrase: “You ain’t seen nothing yet..!”
Despite the challenges, Indian Americans will remain as entrepreneurial as ever
But the new stage will be right here within India where the startup boom has only just begun.
And it will surprise the world…

What has Ramachandran Guha written that’s new? He been writing this same piece, every year, for the last 7-8 years. And yet every time he regurgitates it, the INC goes bonkers and the BJP goes into raptures. This Indian love of repetitive tediousness is truly depressing.
Despite the Centre’s directive to sing Vande Mataram in full at functions attended by the Hon. Governor, it was not followed in the Kerala Assembly.
This is an insult to the Hon. Governor, Lok Bhavan, and the national song in its 150th year.
The government’s decision clearly reflects its willingness to bend to the positions of Jamaat-e-Islami and the @cpimspeak, who question the place of Vande Mataram in public life.
@vdsatheesan must clarify since when Congress became uncomfortable with Vande Mataram, first sung at the 1896 session of the Indian National Congress.
Strongly condemn this disrespect to our national heritage.
@PMOIndia@AmitShah@NitinNabin@BJP4India@BJP4Keralam
@Indian_Analyzer@pkmkb_66 KERAALA MODEL GOVERNANCE !!!🤬
No respect for INDIAN CULTURE……
Enjoy HINDUS who voted for khanGRASS !🤬🤬🤬
Expect more disrespect in the coming days……❗️🤣🤣🤣🤣
🚨 SHOCKING 🚨
Vande Mataram was not sung during Kerala Assembly session despite a Centre directive🤯
=> Congress governs the state with support from the Muslim League.
This is exactly why BJP accuses the opposition of prioritising APPEASEMENT over national symbols.
