u have heard few things & read few things but never studies or thought anything ? "a mere look at their contribution to this nation is suffice.."? you are from which state ? You are living in an independent country & have you read ever the Indian history, what are bengalees' contribution for India's independance ? Did you hear about Satyen Bose in Science or Rabindranath Tagore in all round culture ? I am not taking any more name, that will just make mewasting my time for a deaf & dumb fellow like you. It's fact that bengalee's have lost the past glory & blossom, but your comments show you live in a primitive age.
