Muslims should not be paid back in Indian coins but American dollars. They are already getting paid back. In USD

"When India was divided many Hindus stayed back in East Pakistan"

So did muslims of India.

We are sorry for what Hindu went through in East Pakistan ,& west pakistan

Division of Bengal was not with the consensus of Bengali muslims.Significant number of them Hmayun Kabir, Mohsin of Hoogly Shah nawaz khan,A Ghani Khan Chowdhry ..& dist Muslim significant muslim populatin Murshidabad Nadia Burdwan as well many secular muslims undid bengali partition of bengal in 1930 you prolly too ignorant to know bengal partition has been on again off again event.NOT like west pakistan with you south Indians and BJP s opsessed with.
Do you know how to sing JanaGana Mana ????or if you are hindi walla why dont you sing Sare Jahan Se Acha.
Personaly i have no objection to any national anthem Bande Matram included.For convenience sake you are non bengalis of calcutta and bengals are wrapping youself in national flaglike like a scoundrel being lazy u r self.

Before criticizing any partiticular community speake for your self
is your only contribution is to bring down other community or you can any thing positive about YOURSELF

Todi a non bengali is 100% responsible from cantacting sauravs brother for access to i.G. spending lakhs of his 200 Crores to let it be known to dozen of criminal miscreants with lure of money to do the 'Necessary'

You know the actually hit man those who act so 0r drive one to voluntary klll oneself is held 'less' culpable than his financier

"but will protest if spoken to in Hindi"

Do the Tamils listen answer or speake hindi in tamil nadu i did not not find so.there more non bengali speaking in Calcutta gujrati punjabi south indians rajasthani marwari etc etc than non tamil speaking in tamil nadu.No one self immolate in bngal against hindi ,In fact all bengali these days specially outside bengal i know are fluent in Hindi which south indians are not......Only way they communicate with non tamils is thru english.Tamils hate hindi speaking majority of whome are Upites Bihar and adjoining more than 5 staes like jharkand m.p. chatisgarh ,arunachal pradesh himachal pradesh.Yes Bengalis are parochial so is Shev Sena,DmK TDP Hindi belt in the form of Bihar Up Gujjurat Delhi .Do you think all indians are bhai bhai one big family singing kumbaia.And above all every body nonbengalis in Calcutta is crying foul not because of language but that interferes with there money making by locals

Einsteinwallah, I don't think anyone knows yet who killed Rizwan. The CBI says it looks like a suicide, but I don't think so.
I also think that for the last few elections, the left has won by non-democratic means, so the voters can't be blamed.

nb:

Cops know because they killed Rizwanur.

My questions about distinguishing were rhetorical. Because stuka said Bengali Muslims are "who are defacto Bangladeshis" should be "kicked in their arse".

Most Bengalis are just too full of themselves. They will feel buddy buddy with French and Chinese but will protest if spoken to in Hindi. They think that they are intellectually superior to rest of India. Bengalis never really forgave move of India's capital from Calcutta to Dilli. They hate rest of India so bad that they do not even think rationally. They think of all non-bengalis as low-caste.

Most communities will think of their self-interest first. But not Bengalis. They think of what other lowly non-bengalis are doing and then do something different just to set themselves apart. Never mind what they do will ultimately harm their interests.

They will bash Modi. But are they any different from Modi? So hypothetically let us assume you want to kick Bengali Muslims' arse, how do you do it? Ask a Bong Muslim males to lower his pants so that we can see if there is circumcision or not? Or ask him to sing Vande Mataram? I would not be surprised if non-muslim Bengalis will also refuse to sing Vande Mataram. Their heads are so screwed up that in their desire to set themselves apart they will do that. So...

So how do we distinguish between Patriotic Bengalis and non-Patriotic Bengalis? By asking them to join army may be. And deploying them at no men's land near Bangladesh border and asking them to shoot at sight of any human coming from other side.

When India was divided many Hindus stayed back in East Pakistan thinking that as long as Gandhiji was alive and his ideology was respected Muslims would not kill Hindus. When Gandhiji was assassinated many Bengalis had to flee. Many of these people are still alive or their children are alive. So why Bengalis are electing election after election a communist government? The answer is: Bengalis think they have to elect a party which rest of India does not even spit on. Never mind it harms them. There aint no marxist reasons. Marxism is hardly understood by those who claim they understand it. It is plain and simple naak-oonchu pompous behaviour of Bengalis who think that they are intellectually superior than other Indians. I have to agree with #1 Posted by mohar11. Bengalis are intellectually lazy. Contrary to the self-image Bengalis have of themselves. To maintain that self-image they can do violence. Physically they may of may not lazy. When provoked by a contrary opinion they will come out on street and do a frightening tandav nritya. In all that there will be no thinking.

Eisnsteinwallah, how come you know who killed Rizwan and the cops don't??
For someone who has spent years in Calcutta-as it was known then-you should know there are many differences between East and West Bengalis. Between Bengali Hindus and Muslims? You'll just have to ask.

How do we distinguish between migrant Muslims from Bangladesh from local variety? For that matter how do we distinguish between Muslim Bengalis and non-Muslim Bengalis?

Rizwan was killed by a bengali and not by a marwari. Proves my point. These people are violent. Violence breeds violence.

Those who claim to undrestand abstruse and obtuse marx theories cannot distinguish between tenant and owner. Okay who wants to believe that?

sou bat ki ek bat. these people are violent and unpatriotic.

my dear Torsa Ghosal -- your article is well written but too diffuse -- going in too many directions at the same time -- are you mad at the minority forum fundos, or on strikes, bandhs and road congeting traffic-blocking processions. Calcutta is one of the most crowded, dirtiest, smelliest, poorest most anarchist cities of the entire subcontinent -- so what else is new.

I wish you had stayed a little more with Tasleema Nasreen's plight in the land of the free and the abode of the freedom of expression.

The leftists have betrayed her -- the congressites are going to do another shah-bano on her as well -- India has gone to dogs whether in Calcutta or in Delhi.

They should be ashamed of themselves -- bouncing her like a soccer ball from Calcutta to Delhi -- Delhi to Jaipur -- of all the places Jaipur! -- and from Jaipur back to Delhi. what has happened to India -- in that goddam country there is no place for an iconoclast -- everybody has to be either a goddam Hindu Hindutva or a Muslim jihadi bastard to be able to live in that godforsaken country -- where the rest of the people are dreaming of the hydrogen bombs while defecating near the railway lines.

Don't humiliate a wrtier like Tasleema Nasreen for having the guts to scrape the bottom of Muslim mental, social, cultural, educational, and political backwardness. Let her live in India in peace and with dignity -- don't take away her pen -- let her write whatever she wants to say about her own crummy community -- and hang the forum fundos by the nearest lamp post -- of course with due process of law -- if any of them criminals harm the Muslim Joan of Ark in anyway.

12 head, anyone but you can see I am not saying it was a good thing, merely pointing out why it happened, and I keep saying it should never have happened, and the Todis should be punished.

Re: # 53
Jasvinder, arshad manji, hirsa ali, have all one thing in common they’ve seen how the white girls in the west, live and behave, boyfriends, drinking, partying etc. they blame their families, religion, culture for denying them these pleasures. They then go on to write a book denouncing their families, religion etc, their books become bestsellers and they are laughing all the way to the bank, I wonder who is taking who for the ride here.

I know money can buy lot of things including love ,marraige ,besids material.You can blame 90% of worlds problem on Poverty .Its a commonest denominator least controversial.

did the boy lie he was rich .Did she not frequented his 'HUT' and new fully well .
Question is of Parental acceptence
does not law give an adult to marry rich or poor as long as the parties agree to it .
For you it may be wealth for other it is religion and for other it is love. Atleast this determing factor is common in most marriages.
