Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy has delivered another shocker, commenting that Bengal's greatness is gone and Bengalis are "sweeping the floors" or "are bar dancers in Mumbai". He was offering his views on some states resisting Hindi learning.
Tathagata Roy, a former BJP leader who is from Bengal, argued in a series of tweets that the opposition of Bengalis to learning Hindi lacked substance and was mainly political.
While many among Mr Roy's Twitter followers have backed his comments, others have attacked him for his generalised statement on Bengalis and remarked that youth from many other states were in the same boat, not because they don't know Hindi but because of the lack of education and work opportunities.
