  1. Economists, are people who have never sold anything in their life. Those who can't do anything, teach. If PM's claim of selling tea in railway station is true, then he needs to ask himself how economy has gone so wrong under his more than 8 years rule. What has been happening to the nation's economy under Modi as PM, is complete opposite to what happened to Gujarat under him as CM.

  2. After Punjab, there'll be two more breakaway factions in Kerala and Karnataka.

  3. Captain like Mayawati, has sold himself to BJP. He has weakened himself by allying with BJP and not forming a political party consisting of former members of Congress. Through Captain Amarinder, BJP wants to stop the farmers' protest.

  4.  @sayanpal2192  if Hindi government loots India to develop UP Bihar and other BIMARU states then they will develop to the detriment of non Hindi states. Which is why entire South India is up in arms against Modi government. Unfortunately, Bengal is still in sleep mode over this matter.

  5.  Shivam Sanatani  by not doing anything against the British while marching with lathis and worshipping Adolf Hitler. Also read Savarkar's letter imploring British to release him.

  6. Mayong is a Sinic name and not an Indic name. The original name of this place will be something else replaced by a Sino/Burmese name. The idol of devi and black magic which is associated with these parts were those of Australoid or Dravidian people who inhabited these parts of India prior to arrival of Indo Aryan followed by Chinese and Burmese people during close to 600 years of Chinese and Burmese occupation of NE. The Dimasa are Burmese origin people who have adopted these native customs.

  7. BJP is basically an anti Bengali political party. A BJP politician from Odisha, can only speak for his state, not Bengal. Let BJP leaders from Bengal say they won't allow Bengali Hindus refuge in Bengal.

  8. Ahoms are ethnic Chinese from Yunnan, China. Entire North East was a Bengali kingdom known as Kamrupa which was invaded by Chinese Ahoms in circa 1200 AD and renamed to Oxom which has been anglicized to Assam after occupation of East India Company and the British. Oxom aka Assam was invaded and occupied by the Burmese from circa 1400CE to 1832 when East India Company liberated these lands from Burma and returned to india but with overwhelming ethnic Chinese and Burmese origin people who have never accepted themselves as Indians. Neither has Burma reconciled to loss of NE and China coveting these lands almost immediately after occupation by the communists. Both have been supporting separatist movements in NE. This is the crux of insurgencies and unrest in NE which no amount of negotiation is ever going to resolve. Government has also completely erased the history of north east from our history books. Those whom we call tribals of NE are not even of Indian origin as they are found in Burma and China as well.

  9. BJP is not going to do well in Bengal for the simple reason that Modi Shah are afraid of strong regional leaders within BJP who can pose a challenge to Modi Shah hegemony. WB BJP has very weak local leaders as strong BJP leaders have deliberately been marginalized just like Congress did resulting in complete decimation of Congress in West Bengal. West Bengal also has 30% Muslim population who are solidly behind Mamata if not TMC. The Hindu Bengalis are also more left leaning. BJP has support among the large Hindi and Nepali speaking population of West Bengal. In Odisha Jay Panda is a strong capable leader. Odisha has a large tribal population but it is largely Hindu and non tribal who will vote for BJD and not BJP even though Odiyas as a people are extremely religious and devout Hindus. Nationally BJP in the last more than 8 years has been a bigger disaster than UPA2 on every front. Only on the basis of India Pakistan, Hindu Muslim it cannot hope to get elected when the masses are seriously hurting.

  10. @SG With a per capita GDP below Bangladesh, hunger index below many African countries, lowest in freedom of press index, lowest in democracy index, lowest in even passport power and the list goes on. How are we a global power when we cant even feed, house, clothe let alone educate our population?

  11. TMC are rank amateurs in this game. Repeatedly they get caught making foolish mistakes. They need to learn from BJP how to launder money. No one sits on piles of cash. Just imagine how much interest they are losing out per month?

  12. In politics, leaders have to be elected and not parachuted. Current leaders in Congress, cannot get elected within Congress which is why Congress, is leaderless for more than 2 years. India I.e. Bharat is a union of 30 states and not a nation state. Congress or any political party that wants to be pan India, can only do so through elected strong leaders from the states and not a family which has no connect with India and Indians.

  14. There was never any country called India prior to arrival of British East India Company. Today's India is only a post 1947 creation by forced merger of British India with 565 independent kingdoms. We need to ask was exit of British from the subcontinent truly independence or another form of colonization? 1947, the British handed over power to those who were helping them colonize the subcontinent both in India and Pakistan.

  15. @Praveen Swamy and Rahul Sagar It was not Britain but a masala company called East India Company from London with a mercenary army consisting primarily of natives of South Asia who defeated these south Asian kings and created what we call India named after their company as prior to arrival of East India Company there was never any country called India. What the Greeks called India was the region today we call Pakistan. We never called ourselves Indians just like the natives of Americas never called themselves Indians or red Indians. You are looking at this issue through western lenses.

  16. The fact that all news channels are doing Modi bhakti is the best proof that India the largest democracy in the world has become a closed society. Instead of questioning GS, why media is spectacularly silent about India ranking so low in press freedom index? How India the world's largest democracy falls in the flawed democracy category in democracy index?

  19. @Guptaji HAL or DPSUs cannot pay bribes to netas and generals through multi million and multi billion dollars arms imports. This is where Tata, Adani, Ambani without even a product of their own but who give lakhs of crores of funding to political parties comes in. C295 is not in the class of AVRO but in the same class as AN32 and HAL's RTA. IAF has been successfully flying AN32 for last few decades. Latest AN32 costs only 15 million dollars then why government is importing similar aircraft for nearly 48 million dollars? When HAL is manufacturing RTA which will be cheaper than AN32 and made in India then why this make in India government importing foreign aircraft at over inflated price through a private company which doesn't has even one aircraft? Who will pay 22,000 crores Tata or the public like what happened with 200,000 crores Air India which was gifted to Tata merely on payment of 2,500 crores?

  20. @basedperson1409  Yo, you forgot to mention tantric form of Buddhism went from Bengal to Tibet and China which is evident in the artwork in the Buddhist monasteries in Tibet and China. Today's China is Han Chinese version of USSR. Today's China includes East Turkestan, Inner Mongolia, Tibet, Manchuria which are very different from Han China in the South East Coast of China. More than 4/5 of China is not Han China.

  21.  @dr.anandarokiaraj868  show me one thing from Tamil Nadu in South East Asia?? You think a Tamil king will give names like Kamboj aka Cambodia, Ayudhaya aka Thailand, Srivijaya aka Malaysia and Indonesia, Champa aka Vietnam? Will a Tamil king give the name Ma Ganga to a river in South East Asia which is today known as Mekong? Will a Tamil king name a river in South East Asia after the elephant of a purely Indo Aryan God Indra? The list is endless friendo.

  22.  @kumar.193  Sanskrit didn't reach South India?? The ancient Tamil script is not the same as the one used today which came from north India. The Cholas were not Tamils. Look at the ancient names of South East Asia Kamboj for Cambodia, Ayudhaya for Thailand, Srivijaya for Malaysia +Indonesia, Champa for Vietnam. Mekong is actually Ma Ganga. Ramayana and Mahabharata two north Indian epics have significant influence in South East Asia. If Cholas invaded and occupied South East Asia then they would spread Tamil epics not Ramayana Mahabharata. Ramayana is all about a king from UP vanquishing a South Indian king.

  24. @adwaitvedant3297  Biharis themselves claim that there are more than one crore Biharis in Bengal. If we include other Hindi speaking people, it'll easily cross 2 crores. If you are a Bengali living in Bengal and not under a rock, then you'll hardly see anyone speaking Bengali in Kolkata which wasn't the case prior to 1980s. Bengalis have become a minority not only in Kolkata but in many other large cities of Bengal. Which is why TMC had to import a Bihari Shatrughan Sinha to win in Asansol another city which has more Biharis than Bengalis.

  25. I fail to understand when pro Pakistani razakars are running amok in the streets of Bangladesh why Awami League party members and Bangladeshi nationalists are hiding inside their homes cowering in fear? Why the police, military and paramilitary are on the side of these razakars who are burning and demolishing every symbol of Bangladesh independence? If India acts tough, these stranded Pakistanis will run for their lives. What is 56 inch waiting for? If these razakars manage to hold on to power then forget a hostile neighbor in the east, entire NE and red corridor will burn. China too is going to get active in NE and North Bengal.

  27. There was no Nepal then. Nepal came into existence sometime late 1700s. These were parts of UP Bihar which the British gifted to Nepal after Nepal helped East India Company to put down the 1857 mutiny by sepoys from UP Bihar.

  28. Gandhi became completely irrelevant after 1947. He was killed not because Hindu Muslim thing but because he was a man who knew too much. Those who were profiteering under the British and were propping up Gandhi didn't want him alive with the exit of British from India which they thought could never happen.

  30. These are absolute nobodies in politics. Poaching leaders from other parties shows lack of talent within BJP. Issues of South or NE are completely different from the Hindi belt. BJP's politics and narrative of Hindu Muslim, India Pakistan and supremacy of Hindi doesn't cuts ice with the people of the south. Unlike NE, South is too big to purchase politicians and political parties with money from shady business houses.

  32. @SG Problem with private sector is none of them have any expertise let alone a product of their own. They are either reselling foreign arms under their brand at over inflated prices or selling DRDO developed technologies. This is profiteering with state support. No where in the world private companies sell technologies developed by state owned defense research laboratories. DARPA of USA supports entrepreneur only when they come up with cutting edge technologies. What Modi is doing is replacing OFB and eventually DPSUs with his crony capitalists. If competition was so important, why private companies need support of supposedly incompetent DRDO and DPSUs? When HAL is developing RTA what was the need to import foreign C295 through Tata a loss making manufacturer of mediocre cars and trucks?

  33. @SG Core ideology of Shiv Sena is Marathi nationalism, not Hindutva. By dabbling with Hindutva, Shiv Sena strayed away from its core ideology of Marathi Manoos. Eknath Shinde by focusing on Hindutva, becomes a junior partner of BJP. Uddhav Thackeray realized this, which is why he broke away from BJP.

  34. How can someone who cannot get elected within the political party hope to win elections outside the party? CWC cannot nominate Congress party president but party president has to be elected and not nominated. This is also true with members of CWC who have to be elected by members of the Congress party. Anyone who isn't elected to the post of party president, is illegally occupying the position and it's more like a coup inside a political party.

  36.  @omkumar185  true, Mamata and communists played a very big role in deindustrialization of Bengal. But, bigger culprit is Congress and political parties ruling New Delhi in which there's little to no presence of Bengalis. India is not a nation but a union of nation states. Which is why real independence will happen when India is run as a union of 30 economies with bare minimum being administered centrally by a nodal agency with representatives from every state of the union instead of a political party representing only certain parts and ethnicities of India. Due to the very nature of India, India can never have a pan India political party representing the diverse people of the subcontinent. And Tata Motors is really not a good choice. Look what happened to not only Tata Nano but Ford, GM etc which have shut their shop and moved out of India for good.

  37.  @orunabho  cut the matter short, do away with central government as was envisaged in 1946 cabinet mission plan. Vehement opposition to this plan by crony capitalists profiteering under the British led to Congress, itself a creation of the British and propped up by these business houses withdrawing its consent to 1946 cabinet mission plan of autonomous states and a central government only in charge of currency, communication, foreign affairs and defense. Congress withdrawal from 1946 cabinet mission plan led to the partition of India and not Hindu Muslim divide as we have been led to believe. So, let's conduct a referendum to see whether states want greater autonomy or more centralization. Greater autonomy to states will not only lead to end of decades long insurgencies, separatism and terrorism but unleashing the true potential of the union of India. Jyoti Babur, Mamata, Rahul Rajiv Gandhi, Modi etc are all a load of rubbish and the main reason for India's extreme backwardness and distribution of wealth as they are all belong to same power structure without which they are nobody. Don't get fooled that there's any real rivalry between Rahul, Modi, Mamata, Yehchuri, Aravind etc as they are all dancing to the tunes of same few business houses who fund them.

  38. If Bengalis are oppressing Nepalis and Jharkhandis then millions of them wouldn't settle in West Bengal. There are 20 million Hindi speaking people in West Bengal.

  39.  @helcurt2509  which illegal lands has Bengal taken from Jharkhand?? On the contrary, Bengali speaking Jamshedpur was retained with Bihar and now Jharkhand at the request of Tata during state reorganization on the basis of language. The British legally acquired Darjeeling from Sikkim and Kurseong Kalimpong from Bhutan to start their tea gardens. These places had next to zero population before the British started their tea garden. Tens of thousands of nepalis were brought here as temporary guest workers who were supposed to return back to their country Nepal with end of contract. Instead nepalis have been settling in North Bengal leading to their numbers jumping from few thousands to 20 to 30 lakhs today. From the venom you are spewing towards Biharis and Bengalis it is clear you are a namak harami nepali who spits on the very plate on which he eats. No wonder Bhutan kicked you people out from their country and large parts of NE have banned entry of nepalis.

  40.  @helcurt2509  Darjeeling, Kurseong, Kalimpong are integral parts of West Bengal where large number of Nepali nationals have settled. States can only be reorganized after request comes from the state assembly. If you are not a Bengali or Nepali or Bihari then which community do you belong to which is so anti Bengali while living in Bengal???

  41.  @a_02_prakashnayak59  you take loans for growth. And you also take loans because you have no money. The former is a good loan and latter is a bad loan. Bangladesh is in former category whereas Pakistan is in latter category. The union of India is a collection of more than 20 Bangladesh type countries so its no comparison.

  42. @rajendervallapureddy1564  India was not supposed to be governed centrally but as a union of autonomous states. Let India be governed as 30 economies and then let's see who goes where. And not only leaders of Bengal but Narendra Modi himself mentioned New Delhi imposing all kinds of hurdles to the growth of opposition ruled states. Ironically, now he is continuing with same policy.

  43. @surajs5913  let each state govern their own economy and administration. This is what West Pakistan used to say about East Pakistan aka East Bengal. Today the tables have turned. Let Bengal and other states who want autonomy do so without seceding from the union of India an illegal creation of the British.

  44. @surajs5913   @surajs5913  China kicks us around so what security? India is below Bangladesh and bankrupt Srilanka in terms of per capita GDP and HDI so what economic growth? What's the point of staying with such a union illegally created by the British where India ranks below African countries in global hunger index? How India has been ruled by few political families for last more than 75 years? What was Patel's contribution to India's independence particularly when he opposed independence of British India of which much of Gujarat wasn't a part of? Patel united India so that the monopoly of Gujarati, Parsi, Marwari business houses in bed with the British didn't end with the exit of the British from their illegal creation called India. You too agree if a referendum is held, no one would want to be part of India. So, did we gain independence in 1947 or replaced one form of colonial rule with another more insidious form of colonial rule??

Should our flawed corrupt judicial system be entangled in Mandir Masjid issues or clear millions of cases pending for years in our judicial system?

  47. Biggest problem is, India becoming more protectionist and insulated under "Aatma Nirbhar Bharat" which is return to license permit raj and Hindu rate of growth. Whereas, Bangladesh, correctly gets more integrated with the global supply chain. Modi is the biggest disaster in post 1947 India.

  48. India's army still continues with the same structure of British India Army which was created by the British to protect them from the natives and not the other way around. India's borders will truly be defended when the locals and not people from foreign country or from different parts of the country completely unsuitable for local terrain are made to guard the border. 2 years military service needs to be compulsory for those living in border states. This way we don't need to maintain a large standing army and during times of war we can immediately have a large army right in the border. The Agnipath scheme is a right step in this direction and it further needs to be modeled on the lines of Israeli and Swiss army.
