The life and works of Ram Mohan Roy highlights India's intellectual response to the West on the eve of the colonial era. The Indo-British encounter is not simply one of capitulation-reaction-transformation, but much more complex both ideologically and historically.

Militant trade unionism and political turmoil are the main factors behind the lack of industry in Bengal.

However, I think the problem is much deeper and needs some analysis.

@promzzz Take for example the problem with Jute.

Jute industry bloomed during the 2nd world war.

But partition had a devastating impact on the industry.
India and Bangladesh( then East Pakistan) became competitors rather than collaborators.

Karl Marx was baptized a Lutheran, and throughout his life he spoke of Jews in third person- and seldom complimentarily.
