A Drop of water on the dessicated one

Odd hours I will come back to you.
Rains will pour down. We have to move fast.
Rusty windows, muddy roads, Melancolic heart.
At the Odd hours I will come back to you.


Land lying east of India,the state of West Bengal is considered as a very politically vigorous one.Time and time people have looked down the state in a negative way as it is plagued and hammered by strikes, political violence and other dysfunctional activities. But have we tried to dig out the rationale behind it, does anyone care what mayhem this state has undergone, do they sympathetize for it. I would take this small opportunity to pacify the biased thoughts.

The crux reason dates back to the era and political turmoil of partition. To think of Calcutta now known as Kolkata used to be compared with the cities like Edinburgh and London. People used to take pride in the charming vibes of the city. That aestheticism and the aura of the city were totally devastated by the sin called the partition. People were forced to leave their homes, their birthplace. They had to squander the dreams which they carried all along their lives. Same intolerable scrape happened with people from Bangladesh.

The plight and the insufferable quandary faced by them in India are never told again; that populace had to come here and faced many hardships and destitutions. Those days the disparity between rich and poor was increasing alarmingly again coupled with the ignorant government residing in Delhi. That enforced these poor and food-ridden people to align and put their belief with the Communist party. It was not with only the Refugees who faced the problem but also other poor and unfortunate people like peasants, laborers also were undergoing the same hardships.

As they say, there are only two categories of people, the torturers and the sufferers. Sufferers are all those people who suffer the pain of poverty and who doesn’t have power to stand against the torturers. Rich always take advantage of the system and annoy the poor.

Communism rose to the power and caught the beacon inspired by Lenin and Mao Zedong. Communist ideology did give the consolation and solace which these poor people were seeking for. The flames were ignited and the dying hopes of poor people were rejuvenated again. As Trotsky would surmise ‘No War No Peace’.

So the present political turbulence does attribute its cause to the incidents happened in the past of Bengal. Did any other state had to suffer like this? It’s important to understand the hardships and trauma which these people have undergone.

The worst part is that some obnoxious weeds still talk vouch about Communism, these people who doesn’t fully understand the conception of Communism; they start to preach about communism. They are the people who try to distract people to other blasphemous causes. They take advantage of the past and hoodwink people .I know Communism is not a very pertinent theory at present times, but people will always ascend whenever the need is there.
