Kolkata city has the potential to be as like as Hongkong .. but the mentality of the city dwellers should change in a great way ...
( The simplicity and modest living of the villagers living in the 'villages' are not targets here.. .. they are our precious souls ... producing all sorts of food grains and goods with so may pains and sufferings ... for the city people)
Book Fair '08 "seminar" at Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata :
Seminar dt. 03-03-08
Some speakers were telling that ( some of the ) city dwellers of Kolkata have the mentality that of the "villagers" ...
They could never acquire the 'attitude' to be a member of a great cosmopolitan city ... 300 yrs old city of Kolkata ....and once the capital of India.. !!
They may not imagine that this city may one day become and have the potential something like "HongKong" ...? or some other (not Mumbai )....
That "villagers like" mentality is the greatest enemy for progress ...
These may be as follows :-
- to be contained with the present
- not inducing others for change
- view all changes with suspicion etc
Sorry ... I have no idea ... may be applicable for many other Indian cities alike.... !!
