And they talk of industrialization!!

Jardine (well, not Douglas Jardine but Henry Jardine) sent out a strong message to Bengal. The US-consul general voiced what everyone already knows: a culture of bandh is not conducive to industrialization. If Bengal is to court foreign investments (and Indian investments for that matter), they should cut out bandhs and all "adda" and no work culture. Wonder if the political hooligans will hear this message. probably not.
