It was initially young working population leaving #Kolkata, now it's the elderly. My in laws, like many, had it enough in #Kolkata after spending their entire lifetime left the city after ~ 74 yrs. Like many, they can't relate to the city & it's culture anymore. Couple of (1/n)

(2/n) developments in the past few years.
1) Security- My FIL was the President of one of the oldest Durga Puja Committee in Central Kolkata. He is well revered & well connected. Despite his local reputation, there was an attempted break in. Something unheard of in his hood.

@narendramodi

2) When he put his property up for sale he spoke & met 96 prospective buyers. 94 were Muslims while 2 Hindus. All 94 wanted to buy the property in cash. Now clearly @narendramodi #demonitization was a failed venture that put the country through misery for nothing. Moreover....

(3/n) Muslims are occupying Hindu belts at alarming rates, changing the demography of the city. Another interesting observation. There is suddenly a huge trust deficit between the 2 communities. The moment my FIL sold his property some of the neighbors have already started...

(4/n) exploring options to move out. They are perceiving Muslim neighbors as threats that is working to the benefit of the M community. They are able to buy good properties on a distress sale.

3) Healthcare - has completely collapsed in the city. We all are aware of it.

Million $ question
Will Bengali Hindus in #Bengal over time see the same fate as Jews in Israel? Fighting an existential battle to retain their identity & land?

There are 365 Likes to this tweet & 149 RTs, several blaming my FIL for selling his property calling him anti BJP & anti Hindu. Quick Q for all of them. Why hasn't @BJP4India fixed this history @INCIndia has wiped out from our history books & deprived Indians of the truth? 👇

On the 214th birth anniversary of #JoykrishnaMukherjee, a message for all Bengalis in & outside #Bengal from our family historian Debasish Mukherjee. He has authored 4 books on our family that are available at #JoykrishnaPublicLibrary & the government of #WestBengal has
(1/n)

(2/n) assured us that these books will be made available at all major public libraries and school libraries across #Bengal. Let's hope they'll follow through. He is also the architect of world's largest genealogy chart having 4600 entity relationships mapped over 1100 years.

@BJP4Bengal

@BJP4Bengal @BJP4India will not win #Bengal for 2 reasons
1) It's a spineless party that respects the self interest of only a few core members. It gives jackshit about reviving #Bengal. They operate like modified pseudo dynasty
2) It doesn't even want to control #Bengal. (1/2)

(2/3) Given the state of #Bengal, BJP cannot possibly see any RoI in the CAPEX over the next 20 yrs. As a business class, they understand investments. Plus Didi plays well as a party in their #GameTheory based strategy. Now why does BJP gives a rats ass about Bengal? I'll give...

(3/4) 2 proof points
1) Which party with any sense of decency allows its members to get into a full blown street war at the house of its founding member on the day of #SyamaPrasadMookerjee s birth anniversary

@AITCofficial

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...

The discussion on #MaaKaali is so petty & so silly. No wonder we humans have not been able to evolve much from our primates. You idiots are trying to define & give form to someone who is infinite & formless. No wonder the civilisation is in the brink of destruction. Take a look..

(2/n) at the pond above. The earliest settlers in #Bengal were indigenous tribes belonging mostly to fishermen community. They prayed to nature in many forms. Then there were kings like Adi Sur & Sen Dynasty. They brought 5 Brahmins from Kannauj (UP) to perform yagnas....

(3/n) Ours was 1 such family. These Brahmins were given vast tracts of land to develop civilizations. These Brahmins became Zamindars and Rajas.

Probably the last living humble legend from the house of the Mukherjees. Ex Chief Justice of Mumbai HC, ex Governor of Goa, grandson of #SirAshutoshMukherjee, nephew of #SyamaPrasadMukherjee, the current custodian of Ashutosh Memorial Institute & my uncle Shri Chittotosh....(1/2)

(2/3) Mukherjee. He was visibly upset at the turn of events in front of his house just before the memorial service at 77 Ashutosh Mukherjee Road. A man who closely saw and lived with #SyamaPrasadMookerjee in the same house describes SPM as " a true son of Bengal who felt that...

(3/3) quality education is the only way forward towards building a progressive India".

@BJP4Bengal

When Hindu Mahasabha & @BJP4Bengal guys get into street brawl at the house of #SyamaPrasadMukherjee on his birth anniversary doesn't really bode well for BJP in #Bengal. It's a not a weapon you can afford to hand over to your opponent. As SPMs family we are very very upset (1/2)

(2/2) with this childish behavior. It was not a political event. Keep your cheap politics to yourselves & your homes. Don't bring it to the hallowed halls of Sir Ashutosh Memorial Institute.
