How Bengal fell from glory to ruin:

>In 1963, Bengal lost its greatest visionary, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. Under him, Bengal flourished: industrial growth, world-class institutions like IIT, IIM, and ISI, and iconic companies like Birla, JK, Thapar, and Tata thrived in Calcutta. >Bengal was the crown jewel of India. Engineering hubs, Chittaranjan Locomotives, Durgapur Steel Plant, Kalyani Satellite Town, and Digha Beach Resort bore testament to Dr. Roy’s vision. Calcutta was the HQ of foreign firms and India’s industrial giants. >Calcutta was once the gateway to the world. International flights landed here, clubs were the best in the country, and it was a global city. The culture, education, and work ethic were unmatched. Bengal was unstoppable—until 1968. >February 1968: Ashok Kumar Nite became the tipping point of Bengal’s destruction. The event turned into a nightmare of chaos. Mass molestation, sexual violence, and murder followed. Dead, naked bodies of women were found around Rabindra Sarobar Lake. >Communist leaders, including Jyoti Basu, justified this horror as “the rise of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie.” The world watched in disbelief. Bengal’s descent into lawlessness had begun. It was the start of the Communist rise to power. >The aftermath: Bengal’s industrialists fled. Aditya Birla was publicly humiliated, stripped, and beaten near Writers’ Building. He left for Bombay, never to return. Birla, JK, Thapar, and others pulled out, triggering an exodus of industries. >Once the industrial hub of India, Bengal turned into a graveyard of factories. Communist-led trade unions killed work culture. Violent strikes and political unrest became the norm. Entrepreneurs abandoned the state, taking wealth and jobs with them. >From the Sain Bari killings of 1970 to the Marichjhapi massacre of 1979, the Bijon Setu massacre of 1982, and the Nandigram massacre of 2007, the Communists left a bloody trail. Bengal was gutted, its pride reduced to rubble. >The “Bhadralok” culture eroded. Teachers, scientists, doctors, artists—Bengal’s brightest minds—migrated to the US, UK, and Europe. What remained? Beggars. Bengal now has the highest number of beggars in India—89 per 100,000 people. >Even today, Bengal suffers from corruption. Cut money, syndicates, para-teachers, civic volunteers—these are the new buzzwords. Lakhs of workers have fled to other states in search of dignity and work. Bengal is a shadow of its past. >Today, Bengal’s politics is a battleground for appeasement and anarchy. Communists, Congress, and TMC have ensured Bengal remains stagnant. The present generation doesn’t know the golden Bengal that once was. >Can Modi fix this in one election? Impossible. Bengal will only revive if Hindus rise against the political forces that destroyed it. The only hope is BJP—but the revolution must begin with the people of Bengal. Time is running out.
