@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
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!

Today I spent almost 1/2 the day at Land Registry office in #Kolkata. As someone who has spent career in process consulting the inefficiency and corruption is just appalling. First off the entire office takes you back by 500 years and it literally looked like a cattle (1/n)
(2/n) market. I was there giving a family member, the seller of the property, company. This property is valued (govt valuation) at 70L. Every past record, every deed, stamped Site Plan with the family and in the govt record shows that the front road is 7 ft. The system data....
(3/n) which some half brained govt sloth has plugged in is 30 ft. Just imagine the shock to the Seller and the Buyer. Huge implications - the valuation goes up as do taxes. This is purposely done by this inept and corrupt govt to fleece money from people. There were 2.....
Something is really wrong with this country. I was invited to the house of S.P Mukherjee today. When I was driving through the driveway only one thought came to my mind. Why is the house that produced the greatest sons of India falling apart while the thugs looting India (1/2)
(2/3) are splurging and toying with public money living in posh centrally controlled air conditioned mansions? I realised that the difference is pedigree. These great people from Jirat (where I am visiting on 15th) worked their ass off with a single pointed focus in mind...
(3/3) to build a great country. The latter bottom feeding political class were devoid of any pedigree or talent and like Somalian pirates they found looting easier. When I walked into the house, this picture of SPM stood there full of dust & cobwebs. My heart was just crying!
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...
( kpax72.blogspot.com/2022/02/the-ge… ) I had mapped out the family lineage tree, of which, SP Mukherjee was a part of. Like all the great ones of Uttarpara, SPM was wiped out from our history books. Today I am meeting the nephew of SPM who is also my great grand uncle. He is 93 &...(1/2)
called on to meet me to discuss my blogs & see how we can remove the political debris around SPM & present a true picture of the man who died for the cause of Kashmir & hpns to be the only reason why Hindu Bengalis still have home in India & are not house pets of Islamic.....
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....
There are 3 #Hindu cohorts in the #HijabControversy. Hindu 1: In support of Hijab : Hindu 2: Against the idea of face cover: Hindu 3: The sitting on fence quiet Hindu apparently politically neutral with several Muslim friends and @Twitter followers. The 3rd kind is dangerous!
Most of my youth was spent in Park Circus, hard core Muslim dominated neighborhood in #Kolkata. 30% of my class mates were from the neighborhood & some were my best buddies. Most folks who comment on Muslims have never really mingled with the community at the depth. Let's (1/2)
(2/n) clear the air. There are 2 types of Muslims. The bloodline of the invaders & converts. There are sub divisions. Those that speak Hindu, those that speak Urdu and those that speak Bengali. They all hate each other to the core as much as they hate other clans within their....
