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 +

@Primrose

The 1st ever letter drafted towards establishing a state of the art University in India in lines of Oxford and Cambridge was drafted than none other than my GGGG grandfather #RajaJoykrishnaMukherjee in 1846. @Primrose, you wanted it, I got it. The entire proposal! Earlier I ++

Since the capital of India moved from #Calcutta (Kolkata) to #Delhi, for some reason the hatred for Mukherjees became evident. I can guess why #RajaJoykrishna was wiped out, but why his younger cousin #SirAshutoshMukherjee? If you are a student of #Mathematics, have u ever (1/n)

Trivia: There is a debate whether Rashbehari Avenue is named after Rashbehari Bose of Rashbehari Ghose. Their GGG Grandson is a good friend of mine and interestingly there is rift in the family over this. Bose was from his mother's side while Ghose.....

Close your eyes, get on the time machine and imagine the period between 24th August 1808 and 1900. Elder cousin brother #RajaJoykrishnaMukherjee sets up 59 schools in 1 month in #Bengal, a record no has broken globally, sets up Indian Cultivation of Science & Calcutta (1/n)

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....

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

(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
