Through the 34-year-old Left rule in West Bengal, the state came to be characterised as a “party society”, where everything from government schemes to marriage proposals was routed through the party. Under TMC, this “party society” has transformed into a “Bahubali society”.

All credit goes to people and politicians of Bengal for systematically destroying their own state
Yes. Bengal and UP are the 2 of the worst governed states. As Indians, we are ashamed
Add U.P, Bihar, Jharkhand to the list too
@@legendslog3911 they were always poor, bengal went from top to bottom
Let Bengal gain autonomy.
Then we will see who is to blame.
West Bengal, NE, South India, Maharashtra, Punjab and Kashmir have to be given autonomy if they so desire.
Hindi India needs to be governed separately.
@@truelordg9sx how will Bengal be rich if it is looted by Hindi government and Hindi political parties for last more than 77 years?
Relation between New Delhi and West Bengal is exactly the same as Islamabad and East Bengal prior to 1971.
West Pakistan also used to say similar things about East Bengal.
Today look where is Pakistan and where is Bangladesh?
Without autonomy from India things will only get from bad to worse not only for Bengal but entire eastern region.
This is the reason why South India too wants to separate from the over populated Hindi India.
Communists in alliance with Islamic extremist destroyed Bengal 😢
The level of honor killing of daughter, and female foeticide happen in other state, those still don't happen in bengal. U rarely bengali hindu as rapist. Mostly rapist are muslm Or hindus from up bihar.
cumminism one type extreme idiology like islam
ur a typical self narcistic bengali thinking urself as some superior ppl, no doubt why the intellectuals of bengal still support TMC/CPM, its just like rahul gandhi, he thinks hes the most intelligent and smatest guy where in reality he can even win elections but still doesnt accept it and keeps running, like bengali inteeluctuals bhadralok who keep on voting communist parties and when they will fall in future will migrate to other state leaveing the poor ppl forever trapped in hellhole created by the intellectuals @sumitabose4780
Same way bjp in alliance with hindu extremists is destroying India
Yes, absolutely 🤮
At the end the Muslims are oppressed and it's all commulnal. The professor is back to absolving the Muslims of any criminality. If its a Muslim gangster he is oppressed.
Were you surprised?
Chup andh bhakt
It seems West Bengal has completely different political power structure compared to rest of India. Almost like different country 😢
My brother, Bengal is the North Korea of India...in quite literally terms in some aspects
The level of honor killing of daughter for intercaste marriage, and 2-3cr female foeticide happen in other state, those still don't happen in bengal. U rarely bengali hindu as rapist. Mostly rapist are muslm Or hindus from hindu belt.
Just in January this year in bihar one yr old girl were killed by her maternal uncle because her mother did intercaste marriage. No one reported, search it
Im not saying bengal is very good. Im just saying there are many evils that bengal has remove from there culture. And they need to improve. See sex ratio at birth as per NHFS statewise, u would find only in bengal female foeticide is not happening.
In 2019 , Uttarakhand in 132 villages no girl child was born for born for three months, search it.
Search writing "honor killings intercaste in west Bengal/bihar/Tamilnadu/Rajasthan/UP etc" And go to news section. You would be shocked that only in "anti hindu" Bengal father don't kill their daughter for marrying other caste. In other places they kill daughter for marrying other caste but they never kill son for marrying other caste.
Bengal society is far better in many sense. But yes obviously they need to improve.
In bengal crimes aren't committed by parents, but politicians but in other states parents doing these crime and they come in comment to pour out their bengali hatred. They never criticise themselves rather hide their crimes on blanket of being "virat hindu".
I take offence on your Spelling mistake. This state i's called "WASTEbengal" not West 🤬

The dustbin of history awaits
Return to Bengal of rammohun and Bankim and have ur renaissance
Try to be something u r not and you have what u see
Prof Abdul Matin conveniently ignores the religious angle. Of course there is a religious angle, there is major radicalization happening in Bengal in remote Madrassas….. Hindu women were targeted in Sandeshkhali, only issue is these Hindu women were subalterns hence the upper caste dominated TMC didn’t care about them but they cared about Muslim vote.TMC is a Muslim party with a Hindu face 😊
its not muslims i fear i fear leftist librandus more then that there are many bongs will defend islamist knowing very well what muslims are upto thats bigger cause of worry
He had to stay loyal to his ummah.
Bangladeshi vote bank politics never worry about national security
No, there is no 'Major Radicalization' happening in Bengal in remote Madrassas. How can radicalization be major if it is only happening in remote Madrassas? Religious angle will always be there, but it is never The major issue in Bengal.
radicalization happening in rss sakhas.
Print should do a report on illegal immigration and demographic change across Bengal. It is scary
You expect that amount of political incorrectness ? Before that they have to find something to maintain the balance in reporting. That’s what they taught you see
Why will print do it? They have a so backward bent of mind where they support their barbarism.
Whenever anyone talks about west Bengal, they mean kolkata and it's nearer cities. Sadly Nobody think about the situation in northern or western bengal. 😢
Economic situation in this kolkata area is actually better and quite comparable to avg/developed India(but it still severely lacks infrastructure) . But the economic situation in other parts are miserable and can be compared with Bihar.
I don't know man, if you account for Durgapur, Kharagpur, Siliguri and Kharagpur, the economic situation is not that bad, the problem lies from Baharampur to Malda and near Sundarbans and Bangladesh border. Also Bakhali area. Those are really in a bad shape, but then people are also responsible, they actually have to think before voting.
Rehn de bro Kolkata's suburbs are worse than dharavi
@@optimusprime3389 dharavi is an exception bro, it's actually better than most of India economically.
Anyway here I was talking about per capita income not basic infrastructure.
@@optimusprime3389 Dude have you been to Dharavi ? From hip hop to global exports... its way ahead of most two tier cities
Firstly focus on your own state , why do u need to mention Bihar here? Yes, Bihar is a politically unstable state but not as West Bengal ,after some years u will have needed bihar because of Islamization of West Bengal and illegal rohingyas. Wait for some years
Same bahubalis will move to bjp once bjp comes in power marks my words
Yes certainly.
What do u mean to say ? Bengalis are foolish 😂 and if you can choose your leader, why u don't vote for the right person?
You can see how Abdul Matin, the professor, insidiously slips in that muslims are oppressed in Bengal thus Sheikh Shahabuddin and his ilk from the same community are right in doing what they are.
The professor apparently hasn't studied history, else he would have known that the minority muslims ruled bengal (and it was a very oppressive rule) until Mir Jaffer in his greed to become the Nawab handed over the keys of Bengal and ultimately India to the British
CORRECT.
The professor’s bias is not even subtle. I’m sure his employers love him for his erudite analysis
He has studied history but being a musIim himself he is playing the victim card even while doing crime.
Do you really think he is speaking out of his ass?
Being a resident of Bengal I know which and who are the ruling class in the Bengal elite society. The Tollywood is a clear reflection of it, there are proper ghettos of muslims in rural area and because of partition majority elite bengali Muslims left for Bangladesh, those left behind were the marginalized.
As someone who was his student, I can assure you he isn't someone afraid to called a spade.
Muslims will always be Muslims irrespective of their education, but everyone else must be secular.
Thanks to Mamta Begumjee, Tatas' shifting of The Mega Automobile Plant to Gujarat for which the land was Given in a record 3 Days has Brought Mr Modi to National Attention as a Vikas Purush who is making Gujarat a Rich Industrial Power from the shackles of Leftist Congressi Poor Socialist Land
why only Tata? Gujrat should also accept 3crore Bangladeshi refugees and 2crores bhaiya ji's. I can assure you that even some countries will collapse after this migration 😂.
By the end it sounded like an NDTV report of the 2010s
At start it sounded like a BJP funded documentary
I have been to Bengal many times mostly in asansol, durgapur,burnpur, kolkata which is considered the most industrialised regions of Bengal... Believe me if we compare it with other Major cities of India they are nowhere close to it.... Very rural & backward in character
Heavy industrialized regions tend to be backward. Very recently rourkella was not very cosmopolitan in feel . The city got a face-lift during hockey world cup . Bhillai too isnt very modern nor is vizag very state of art or Salem.
Hubs of cement industry too aren't very modern. Mining based industrial region tend to be corrupt ,polluted and backward. Jamshedpur is the only exception Durgapur as a city does look somewhat progressive.
You have to appreciate the region you mentioned doesn't have any private player. There is only so much a psu will do to look pretty .
It's only in recent time that psus are also looking to improve their town services
@@tanukabanerjee1731 Vizag is a very good city i don't know why you felt the contrary, Salem is not a very big industrial hub except SAIL and turmeric processing and there are many bigger industrial cities in Tamil Nadu like Coimbatore, Hosur, Tiruppur and Sriperumbudur which are very good cities.
@@user-io7sh7nx7c I have been to vizag it's not exactly very modern . It might have changed after state division given the fact that it's now probably the only city of importance in the newly formed Seemasndhra. Given the fact that vizag is an important naval HQ, port and steel city it's not that modernized. Salem is what you can compare Durgapur with . Both are steel cities. You certainly can't compare heavy industrial areas in modernity to service sector oriented new cities which began their upward mobility thanks to single status reserve currency of dollar investment.
Obviously IT cities like pune , Hyderabad or Bangalore would appear swanky compared to heavy industry city is no Brainer
Your comparison is flawed
Asansol 😂😂 worst city
Kolkata? If you come to proper Kolkata, you'd realize it is much more Westernized and intellectually superior to the rest of India. Although I doubt you'd have the ability to recognize that.
Even after devastating British rule west Bengal was still highest per capita income state in the country... Congress destroyed eastern India with freight equalisation scheme..then anti industry cpim and tmc came and rest is history...A hardcore centralised party with strong administration needed to change the fate of this state... atleast in bengal tier 3 political system cannot work
For Delhi journalists to make "national news" about this aspect of Bengal, It took 2024.
Central Congress Govt. policy of Freight Equalization policy - a national policy to strengthen the West but at the cost making the East (read Bengal) weaker. Note for first two decades both center and Bengal was ruled by the same party i.e. Congress. This national level policy discrimination is not much talked about now, but a fact most central parties would be happy to hide under the carpet. CPIM and Left parties used this opportunity fully in its advantage when the economy and industry of Bengal was in slow downward spiral.
People would never forget that one Senior Journalist had in the past urged other journalists to write lies against Modi Government. People know!!!
Who?
Bengal society and people have degraded, now beyond repair
A very accurate portrayal of current awful condition of Bengal and it's people. Kudos to the reporter for bringing forward the reality
Being from Kolkata since the past 22 years, I must say that it's the greed for money & power which has crumbled our state....
Communist destroyed WB!!! And then they romanticize it. 😂
These people still think that the second largest religious community in india is a minority snd oppressed ?
Muslims need to be removed from minority status.
They do not think so. They as usual are playing the victim card, being the isIamic radicals they are.
Minority is minority and oppressed ...
Very well made and well edited video. All the experts interviewed here have put forward their views precisely. For people from outside West Bengal who don't have that much idea about how local politics plays out here, this is a must watch.
Finally, an actual Ground documentary ❤❤❤❤
Love you to bits just for this...painting things as it really is !!!
fantastic report. would want more from this bengal series.
Bangladeshi s are enjoying all the perks that is meant for the true citizens of the state.
👌🏽 episode. Felt like Print had lost the touch. But i am happy that it's alive and seeing the quality of it, it surely is kicking.
Caste is not a ruling part of Bengal's politics and that's a very good and exceptional thing in India.
Do we have to know about das capital?
Sandeshkhali is a symbol of deep malaise that has set in deep in all aspects of bengal . From the Marxist time till today the malaise has spred like cancer and is now in its final stage. To be fair to the marxists, they were not as corrupt as the present dispensation in financial loot in every stages and govt depts. Unfortunately, national media looked the other way as there was this "holier than thou" attitude towards the marxists and now towards Mamata. National media is still the same and they can't evade their responsibility by occasionally broadcasting reports like this and washing off their hands!!
Absolutely
In depth report in all of 15 minutes. Superb work. 👌
Unfortunately politicians have brought the state to its knees. Hopefully people realise.
Thank you print for on the scene report 😊
Abdul feels moslems are oppressed in West Bengal.
Was maharashtra partitioned? NO. Bengal was partitioned. That led to the rapid decline of the region, which was NOT mentioned in this program.
Bengal rapidly declined because it sheltered millions of illegal bangladeshi musIims.
Excellent- hope SG pays attention to this episode; he needs some education on this issue as he displayed monumental ignorance in one of the Headlines ke peeche episodes a few weeks back.
Main issue for west Bengal is that there is very little expenditure in surplus. If one travels in west Bengal, some basics are taken care of. However, very few buildings either renovated or under construction. Simple hotels and restaurants. To earn more money, people go outside. Salaries are low.
Great insights.
West Bengal is under TMC goons. I can write a paragraph in comment box but if I say a sentence for Sandeshkhali my family will face dangerous situation. Muslim community is the rulling class of Bengal, nobody can deny it. Only big part of Kolkata, Darjeeling, Undivided Medinipur are Hindu dominated area but border districts are filled with 'Seikh Shahjahan'. They have huge amount of money, political power. 35% a important vote bank which is important for any party.
West Bengal has no big industry and we will never get until we destroy the present system and establish healthy society.
At the end We hope,we will achieve our goals.

If there is no job no money then why everyday flock of Bihari UP people come to Howrah
Those people from UP Bihar came to Howrah and the mofussil cities of Kolkata much earlier during the heyday of the jute mills. Not many new migrants from UP Bihar come these days, whereas more Bengalis these days flock to Noida in UP. Ever come to Noida during the Pujas and see for yourself hundreds of Bengali Durga Puja committees there. If we count the total number of Durga Puja committees in the whole Delhi NCR, the number will go into thousands.

One major issue which no one concentrates on is the weakening of bureaucratic institutions....in Bengal a local panchayat or a municipality has the complete say in distribution of the funds or privileges to the people.... district bureaucracy is merely tasked with dispensation of the funds..... since decades local political powers have been given more authority than bureaucrats...this removed the checks and balances which government intuitions should bring and aided the political parties who were controlling the state to act with impunity ..... that's why it is so difficult to remove any party from power in Bengal
Nice reportage.
The political history of West Bengal has been more or less the same during the 34 years under the Left and at present also. The scarcity of industrial development and organised agricultural development has led to widespread unemployment. The present Govt. has handed over the governence to the local influencers, who have grown so powerful that they gone out control of the party. Now both the party and State are being run by the these local influencers, the police and administrative machinery is also helpless.

What is even more unfortunate is that the TMC is still carrying forwad the legacy of Left Front Governments of the past and the BJP is openly addmitting people who are coming from these parties. This makes me doubt if, even the BJP, will allow the bull spirits of Capitalism to run unhindered in West Bengal.
I have always said Bengalis have "party identity" instead of "caste identity" as found in north India. I never knew recognized anthropologists etc. also said the same. Feeling proud.
Bengal needs leaders who are truly concerned about welfare of the people. People with brains and genuine concern, to pull Bengal out of this misery ( I would like to believe that they do exist). People, for whom, making more money, is not the primary reason of doing politics. It's time we introspect and let go of the shameful past and focus on governance. If today, we are unable to do this, no political party can bring a better future for the people of Bengal.
This Dhingra girl obviously has good connections in BJB.
Regardless, great story, puts so many things into perspective.
Liked your earlier piece on BJB as well.
Very wrong. Caste is hidden under the carpet of party in Bengal. No OBC or middle caste CM ever emerged from Bengal. Entire political control across party lines is a stranglehold of upper castes -Brahman, Baidya , Kayastha.

Last one to report but I will take solace in the fact that atleast you did report. Although Bengal sees the most violence around elections, it is fighting for the last economic spot and yet is amongst the few states to provide a strong opposition to the central juggernaut - yet Print doesn't often find it worthy for national discourse
although my local political party is stabbing me in the back with knives, its protecting me against an invading army. therefore, i am happy.
- this is how you sound like.
This is a good campaign video.
The kind of maturity Bengal shows in terms of societal values far exceeds many states that are economically ahead. Also, the state rejected economic upliftment for miniscule few at the cost of others.
West Bengal is a small shop economy, as state has failed to generate jobs for last few decades, small shop gives the livelihoods
In short, the state is fucked up😢
Only bjp is the party that goes for developement
The Print, as usual, playing down the communal angle. However, if the amount of illegal migration under the Left-front govt is taken into consideration, you will be able to immediately identify patterns where the settlement percentage under patta-schemes is increasingly given to people from one community to keep their vote bank intact. This is only increased many-fold under the TMC. Clear from Firhad Hakim's quip: inshallah, 50% people of the state will speak Urdu very soon.
Nobody wants to talk about that.
YES
You mostly showed politics of Kolkata and it's adjacent places.
But politics in Medinipur-Jangalmahal area is very different we people of Bankura Purulia West East Medinipur and Jhargram wants seperation from Kolkata.
There has been a concerted effort to keep urban intelligentsia away from mainstream politics of the state. This can partly be traced to the remnants of the zamindari + colonial revenue collection system ( which couldn't be effectively dismantled because the Centre demands it's pound of flesh every quarter, and they shall not be denied ). The other aspect is the ideological rift btwn the Left and the Congress, leading to mutual distrust`and each party working as competing fiefs. Even as Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and even Philippines moved towards one party rule.
If kolkata develops it'll cataclyse growth of other cities like Bhubaneswar & Ranchi
What has happened with West Bengal also happened to East Bengal prior to 1971.
Economic exploitation of East Bengal by West Pakistan led to demand for autonomy of East Pakistan and eventually birth of Bangladesh.
It is not only West Bengal but entire resources rich eastern India is suffering due to the exploitative and extractive policies of the central government in New Delhi ruled by political parties over which the eastern states have little to no influence.
Development of eastern states will only happen when eastern states gain economic autonomy.
Otherwise things are only going to get worse.
Other way round. East should start participating in economic activity like rest of the country. Being idle and want everything to be taken care by the establishment is perfect recipe for what we see today.
Bihar is divided into half to reduce its influence

Remember TATA factory? Bengalis are to be blamed for their backward thinking, why blame others?
I am from West Bengal Jalpaiguri district, I would like to say The Left government and today Mamta didi doubt handedly destroyed the smartness intellectualism growth and development of Bengali Hindu culture in West Bengal . The people of South Kolkata became Vok day by day, the young generation of movie industry don't try to catch the cult demand and smart thinking of Bengali people. So as a Bengali I know if BJP will come in position in the upcoming future they will not easily bring the financial status and beautiful culture of West Bengal 😔
It was the partition of Bengal and Bengali society in West Bengal and Bangladesh, that destroyed the economy of Bengal and eastern India, and North East.
Great reporting.
There is a desperate need for change of government in Bengal. But it is doubtful if the people will do that
Entire city is painted blue and white, the toilets, the boats, the buses, the billboards, the cafeterias, the government building, the police stations. Damn a political shadow which you cannot think beyond. Only way to survive here is by staying on internet.

I am from UP and I have lived in most rural parts of WB and I found so myself awkward there bcz political party was so much valuable there while in UP, party offices and party people are rare or more to say random to be seen (while in WB they are always visible).
UP is backward but what I see the future of WB is going to be more backward, if this tolabazi continues.
The political scenario of West Bengal is different from other states as this state suffers a lot before and after independence, we Bengalis never get sufficient help either financially or socially , the great blunder was not to see Sri Jyoti Basu as prime minister , the next was exil of Nano Project , the frustration of young people made them Tolabaz , but this is our irony of fate.
Good Onw
You should have shown Mr. Dasgupta's entire interview.
Why were the identity markers like Caste Language and Religion were weak in W Bengal around late 1960s?
As per 1946 cabinet mission plan, India was not supposed to be governed centrally by one political party.
As per this plan only defense, communication, currency and foreign affairs would be governed centrally and rest would be governed by the states.
This plan was accepted by both Congress and Muslim League but vehemently opposed by business houses profiteering under the centralized British rule.
Since Congress was aided, funded and guided by these business houses it had to withdraw its consent to the 1946 cabinet mission plan.
Withdrawal of Congress from the cabinet mission plan led to the demand for Pakistan by Muslim League.
Therefore India was not partitioned for religion but to save the monopoly of few business houses over the Indian economy.
This part of Indian history is completely missing from our history books.
Both India and Pakistan are not one nation state but a union of nation states.
This is why the constitution of India defines India as a union of states and not a nation state.
Centralized rule will lead to some states capturing power in the central government to the detriment of states who don't have the numbers to gain political power.
Political marginalization leads to economic, social, cultural and nearly every other forms of marginalization.
Centralized rule is basically continuation of colonial rule.
In a diverse disparate subcontinent like India, at least economic power needs to rest with the states.
The central government needs to be formed with representatives from every state in the union of India and not one political party representing only certain ethnic, religious, linguistic groups in the subcontinent.
Tum kuch be nautanki kar lo . . . ayega to Modi hi.
Anyway, what an idiotic idea you are propounding. Thank GOD for BJP.
Terrible idea. If this was the stage by now we would have Taliban marching on Delhi. India was always strong with a strong central government like the Chinese. Every state would pull the country in their own way and people would be questioning why are we paying to defend Punjab and Kashmir. China and west would be playing divide and conquer games within India.

The fall of Bengal has nothing to do with how duffer or corrupt its leaders are, they are just as much as others.
The fall of Bengal is only the result of systematic deprivation right from the time of independence.
Why this has been so is a question that could be extracted truthfully only by a psychotherapist of India's mind.
You are speaking deprivatiin of bengal? What you did to TATA itself shows that bengalis infested with millions of illegal bangladeshi muslims themselves are to blame.
You have least sense about how the left rule and now TMC rule has destroyed Bengal entirely. Due to lefts anti capitalist policy, no industrial growth was there in bengal during Jyoti Basu era. Left even opposed bringing computer in the state, that caused the silicon valley project to shift to Bangalore and it became India's IT hub. Left's general strike culture and over-appeasement of the worker unions brutally ruined the state's work culture, resulting into huge fall in the amount and quality of productivity and overall economy. Left even did little every thing to stop metro rail projects in Kolkata. After Buddhadeb Babu came, he started the reforms in economic policy to grow industry by promoting capital investment even through strong opposition from his own pary and other left front allies. But it was so late to do. Mamata even stopped it, now Bengal has become industryless, kangla state, due to mamata. We will remain the same due to our so called pseudo secular nature.
Deprivation? 😂😂😂
Another funny aspect That couldn't understand since my childhood......why every movie, documentary, talk about Kolkata & keep showing the Howrah Bridge !????
😂😂😂😂😂
The same local bahubalis who had in the past transitioned from Congress to CPIM to TMC will take the logical next step to now transition to BJP. They keep the chakka of the local party economy rotating - thus earning their cut while staying out of jail. Propaganda aside, religion and caste play secondary roles in this drama.
Agreed all the CPM goons in Jadavpur are now all TMC netas😢
This Bahubali term is coming from UP. Bengal is going through a structural transition.
👍👍👍
Print did not cover sandeshkali for a whole month intially, somehow did not care for hindu grievances, hindus being not as important as Muslims for SG and print
Why are you hoping print will do it? They unashamedly support the musIims including SG, convenient blindness & deafness.
CPM rule changed the mindset of the people of urban gentry into regressive thinking.
Firstly, the Govt gave easy permits to new localities to come up wifh narrow roads so that single car could enter in. Secondly, even multi storey buildings did not leave car parking slots and municipality agreed with this regressive idea in a metro city. CPM said, we have provided easy bus travel, so why aspire for a car or car parking space ?
CPM bludgeoned the society so much that wedding invitation cards were printed with different bus routes to reach the venue. I have not seen such wedding cards in any other metro city or even smaller cities.
CPM rule just killed the aspirations of people and TMC has continued with it.
Trinamool should be renamed Tolabaji Mamata Congress....
INC, Communists, and TMC have been ruling WB, for many years at a stretch, since Independence and brought the economy of the state to the present level, while the voters remained busy in self destructive politics. Excessive selfishness, greed, and laziness of the people have made them gullible to the designs of the political parties ruling the state over decades. The bogey of discrimination against WB and the Bengalees hasn't helped. Continuous quarrels with the central government has resulted in perpetual stagnation. Unless the voters realise their own wellbeing, such situation may not change at all, with no extraneous factors to be blamed for.
When taxi are still ambassadors, you know how much open to transformation WB is.
Ambassador Taxi is part of Kolkata's identity. Like TX4 is for London.
Typical Print end with a summary of a minority defending the minority and blaming the Bjp of creating communal violence violence
No surprise there. I stopped the video within a minute knowing what the content will be. SG is sympathetic even to the criminals in muslims & protrays them as victims, so what did you expect?
