RE:not all of them are India
by Somik Roy on Jul 16, 2008 07:00 PM

Lets see. Don't be abusive. It only shows of what cultural background you belong to. I stay at Salt lake very near to the palatial Gorkha Bhavan opposite to city Centre in Kolkata. I know what life style your leaders enjoy, not even the Japanese in the nearby Japanese Cultural Society building have such life style. There are many Nepalese from Darjeeling and Kalimpong who are staying at Salt Lake as paying guests in Bengali households. Nobody disturbs them. The beautiful Nepalese girls roam more freely and peacefully here at Salt Lake. Today I read in the newspaper a Sikkimese girl suffering from a serious kidney ailment have come to Kolkata for treatment. She had no money. Do you know a Bengali from Taratala have appraoched to help her financially so that she gets her dialysis until she gets a Kidney from her mother. You abuse the Bengalis, but it is the Bengalis and no other Indians would come forward to help you without asking for anything in return. Remember there are many Nepalese who stay in Calcutta. Even the Indian Idol Prashant Tamang is in the Calcutta Police and has refused to leave the job even after he got his Crores as prize money and fees. Prashant speaks Bengali fluently and he was guided by the Bongs not any Nepali, not even Udit Narayan a Nepali (whose second wife is from Darjeeling)and was a judge at Indian Idol was of any great help to him.
Bengalis are most tolerant community in India. There are many Nepalese staying in Kolkata, ask them.
