@rahulbh12 Thank you so much. I see the abuse hurled at Bengalis all the time. We bongs accept those hurls and reply with cheap unsubstantiated come backs. I am just trying to do my bit here telling stories about some phenomenal Bengalis who have been the architects of new #India .....(1/2)

What's common between India's greatest scientists - CV Raman, Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy, Megnad Saha, Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose, Satyendranath Bose, P.C Mahalonobis et al. They went to #CalcuttaUniversity. Who proposed setting up India's first autonomous University?..(1/2)

This will be a #Burnol moment for many. I will give you proof that all the history we are taught in schools & colleges in pure junk. They were all written by a certain vested political class. We need to fix it now. This tweet is about who founded the great #CalcuttaUniversity +

Is this guy @devduttmyth for real? Remains of #GautamaTheBuddha were stored in an urn for decades in our house in #Uttarpara. The bones were forensically analysed by Madame Curie. They were later handed over to @mbsi1891 through Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee through and elaborate..(1/2)

Despite my deep despise for the party & what it stands for, I am thankful to the @AITCofficial Councillor Mr. Tapas Mukherjee & 3x Ex MP & 2x MLA Mr. Santashri Chatterjee from @INCIndia to put your differences & pay homage to one of the greatest sons of #Bengal & #India (1/n)
(2/n) #RajaJoykrishnaMukherjee on his 215th birth anniversary on 24th August. He single handedly put Hoogly District on the global map & is only the 2nd person in India after #SirAshutoshMukherjee who had the audacity to refuse to meet King Edward VII & the Queen. The...
(3/n) between the 2 was the Queen & King themselves traveled to meet Joykrishna Mukherjee at #Uttarpara. That's the power the man held. Anyone who has lived in #Uttarpara & Bally would have heard about the Crown Gate. That's the history of it. It's an open challenge to any...
@IndiaArtHistory Great thread @IndiaArtHistory. While most of what you penned down is absolutely true, Bidhan Chandra Roy was a dick. Sorry! Here's he with my GG father Raja Bhupendranath Mukherjee at our House in #Uttarpara. If you really wish to know the history on #Bengal from 840 AD ..(1/2)
@IndiaArtHistory (2/3) to its absolute downfall, suggest you read these blogs. Long reads but if you can read those in their entirety u will get the drift

@IndiaArtHistory (3/3) Blog 4 of 4 - Rise of Left
kpax72.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-pr…
The Left came about because of the utter failure of @INCIndia very much in line of what we are seeing now. History repeats itself. In 1940s it was because of Gandhi-Nero now its because of Mano-Pappu. BC Roy is a cheat!

Everytime I want to take a long break from @Twitter a curve ball arrives with precision. My next mission is objective disclosure of who SP Mukherjee was & how his name was strategically used by each and every political party to gain political upmanship. In my 2nd Blog : 2 of 4...

There is no cure for stupidity & nonsense & @Expedia epitomizes it. The crap they have on their site on #BallyBridge connecting #DakshineshwarTemple & #Uttarpara. Again, I have to fix the false narrative. If you are interested read on. Anyone who has traveled to #Kolkata (1/n)
(2/n) and been to Dakshineshwar Temple must've stumbled upon the famous Bally Bridge. Here is a history of the engineering marvel that you may not have known. Believe it or not, #Crowdfunding was not invented at #PaloAlto. Kolkata was separated from Hoogly District by.....
(3/n) Bhagirathi (Ganges) river. It was expensive and cumbersome for people to travel between the 2 sides. #RajaJoykrishna put a proposal with the British government to build a bridge in 1842. After pursuing it over 2 years the government sanctioned the construction under the....
