Invasion

Much has been said regarding the electoral roles of West Bengal being full of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. There is a new increasing threat that came to my attention on my last visit. On the Bono-gram line (popularly called Bonga line from Sealdah) there are schools full of students from Bangladesh. And these folks typically finish their Bachelors Degrees from Bangladesh, forge a ration card and a birth certificate, cross over and come and re-enroll in Class XI or XII in Indian schools. Next thing, they become engineers and doctors by clearing the Joint Entrance. Remember, they have had 3(Bachelors Degree) +2(XI and XII at the Indian school) years to prepare for the Joint Entrance Exams. And this is the same reason why the admins of the Indian schools look the other way and admit them. These folks usually do better than the Indian kids at the board HS exams - which the school can now tout. But just think about the losses to the Indian citizens. We pay taxes so that Jadavpur and Shibpore exist so that our kids can get a decent education and get established in life. And after we put in all that hard work for years and years, these folks come and steal our right to education and eventually all our good high paying jobs. Just think !
