This piece I wrote with lot of anger, disappointment and sadness. I hope to visit Jahangirpuri someday soon to meet the relatives of my friends who suffered this injustice.
While trying to identify the perpetrators of the communal rioting on Saturday, Medha Lal used a common dog whistle, conflating Bengali and specifically the Bengali Muslim residents of Jahangirpuri with Bangladeshi citizens. By @adilhossain✍️ . Read:

Are Bengal political parties even ready for this kind of political challenge?.
“If you ask for these documents immediately, even I will not be able to produce it now… look at the practicality… look at the timeline”, observes SC while hearing pleas challenging ‘Special Intensive Revision’ of electoral rolls in Bihar.

I was swimming in picturesque L’estaque a day before. Got really lucky. First flight cancellation due to ATC strike. And then after I left Marseille airport in a matter of hours this happened.
A wildfire in southern France forced Marseille airport to close and interrupted train traffic as the blaze spread rapidly to the edges of the southern French city. Several forest fires have raged in recent days in southern France, fanning out at speed due to wind and parched

No amount of letter writing by CM or Chief Secretary is helping on the matter.
Once again, atrocities against Bengali-speaking migrant workers continue in Odisha's Jharsuguda district. The BJP-ruled Odisha government recently detained over 200 migrant workers from various districts of Bengal — including Murshidabad, Birbhum,Malda, Nadia, Purba Burdwan, and

If this kind of street protests will happen or not before the 2026 Bengal assembly elections and ECI directives, the legitimacy of Bengal political parties to represent the marginalized will depend on it.

Two countries in the world have nominated Trump for Nobel prize. The answer is here.
Prof. Faisal Devji in his book, Muslim Zion: Pakistan as a Political Idea, cites The Economist of 12 December 1981 to show that General Zia ul-Haq equated Israel and Pakistan as 'ideological' nations. @sabizak @adilhossain @RizwanAhmad1 @mardood_

It should be a mass movement in West Bengal right now. The CM and other political parties should hold rallies with the people who have returned after being expelled to another country just because of prejudice and nothing else.
#Exclusive : Six people from West Bengal deported after being detained by Delhi Police on the suspicion of being “illegal” Bangladeshi. While police allege that they are from Bagerhat, Bangladesh, families say that they have been always living in Birbhum. ✍🏻 @the_hindu

In Malda Uttar Dinajpur, 2021 was called NRC vote. The best case scenario for ruling party is to divide the votes here between TMC & INC & CPM. But with deportation of actual Bengali Muslims citizens from Bengal, & now NRC notice in Coochbehar, feels like they want to lose.

এই যে রাতের অন্ধকারে বাংলার এতো ভাইবোনেদের বাংলাদেশে ঠেলে পাঠানো হচ্ছে, কটা রাজনৈতিক দল রাস্তায় নেমে প্রতিবাদ করলো ? . এটা আইনি লড়াই না রাজনৈতিক লড়াই.

It is also important to say here given the local language in Maharashtra controversy, working class learn the local language faster for the sake of their labour. People mentioned above spoke perfect Italian and Malayalam to work there. They said learnt in 3 months.

Imagine the thought of having another govt in Kolkata now. At least due to pressure from local police DM RS MP, people returned after due verification. If those who are calling them Rohingya are at the helm, people would be left to fate. Bloc voting will increase in 26.

“There is a Bangladeshi type of language…some kind of Bengali sounding language in which they were shouting slogans,” said Medha Lal of the Delhi Police in a TV interview.”. Wrote this piece in 2022 & same thing continues.
Detained on the suspicion of being “illegal” Bangladeshi migrants just by the virtue of “hearing them speak in bangla”. Some allege being beaten up, detained even after producing legitimate documents proving Indian citizenship. ✍🏻 @the_hindu

Massive respect for Rajkumar Rao, who took the effort to translate the question to Hindi, while Prasenjit hid his face. Rajkumar Rao, an FTII passout is married to a Bengali and 3 of his top 5 films are - Apu Trilogy, Meghe Dhaka Tara & Asha Jawar Majhe (said in an interview).

Fact is Tamil actors are proud to speak Tamil in front of any audience, be it in Chennai or in Mumbai or in Delhi. Rather encourages their journalists to ask in Tamil. And you can’t save Bengali film industry, if your actors suffer from inferiority complex on language issue.

This can’t go on like this. And unlike other issues, it is not discussed in political quarters and in media as it should be just because they are poor Bengalis.
Today West Bengal Chief Secretary Shri Manoj Pant wrote to his Odisha counterpart urging him to put an end to harassment of Bengali-speaking migrant workers. The Odisha authorities refused to accept any centrally issued identity documents like Aadhar and EPIC, and demanded

Making Dilip Ghosh, an OBC candidate as state president pushed some narrative on caste in Bengal. OBC Morcha was active then. Now Bengal leadership in all parties (current & future) belong to the 10 percent who always ruled the state with overwhelming representation.
Former MLA from Basirhat Dakshin & Presently, Rajya Sabha MP from West Bengal, Samik Bhattacharya is now Officially the 11th State President of West Bengal BJP. First Brahmin to be at the helm of West Bengal BJP in last 15 years.
