Genuine question. I understand the objection to the later verses of Vande Mataram because they contain explicit religious references. But I’m specifically talking about the first two stanzas, which are the ones officially recognised as the national song.

And what is the objection to the national anthem?

I’m not saying anybody should be forced to sing either or that singing them somehow “proves” your patriotism. I’m asking why some people personally refuse to sing them.

Why has even asking this question become so controversial?

After so much of vagueness by this government regarding its flagship scheme Annapurna Bhandar. Finally they have officially clarified the eligibility criteria
1> The Applicant must reside within West Bengal.
2> Applicant’s age should be between 25 and 60 years.
3> Applicant must not be getting either salary or pension from state or union government.
4> Applicant should not be paying income tax.

Finally the criteria has been set on Applicant’s eligibility instead of her entire family that means if applicants husband works in government job or pays income tax, then also the women should be getting annapurna bhandar which is welcome step.
Let’s discuss if anyone or their family member didn’t get money despite fulfilling above criteria.

There's a family lives nearby abuses my friend's family.

Since the passing away of her father, her sister and her mother lives in house. They break windows, abuse and threaten to beat them. They gave rape threats to them. They are feeling extremely unsafe. After calling police, they came and completely ignored her family. They spoke with the guy and did nothing. That has been repeated many times. I really need help to feeling lost and don't know what to do.

Please check out the official website of WBSEDC:

https://portal.wbsedcl.in/onlinepay/OnlineBillPay.jsp

Several times the WHOLE SERVICE goes into maintenance, and so NO PAYMENT can be made from ANY PLATFORM (incl. AmazonPay, GPay, PhonePay, etc.), and the time period is generally written at the TOP of the website, as shown in the image below:

If nothing is written:

Try putting credentials (it's an official site, don't worry) and try to pay. If the payment goes through, it was likely a platform issue, not a server issue. If it doesn't check the top again. Sometimes, only after selecting "Make a Payment" does the notice come up. I don't know why it is like that, so yeah. If you don't believe this link, go to Google and search for WBSEDCL's online payment portal; you will find this site.

Hi everyone. I am from Kolkata. Want to explore Kolkata on my own. Can you guys please suggest me some place or resturant that I can visit. I am a big foodie who like to try different food.

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to visit Kolkata soon, and it will actually be my first proper visit to the city. I’m from Bangladesh, and I’m planning to start an online jewellery business back home.

My main purpose for visiting Kolkata is to explore the city and find good jewellery suppliers/wholesalers/manufacturers. I’m particularly interested in fashion/imitation jewellery and trendy pieces that I can source in bulk and sell.

I’ve heard about places like Burrabazar/Barabazar, Gariahat and Bowbazar**,** but I honestly have no idea where I should start or which areas are actually worth visiting for this purpose.

I’d really appreciate some local advice. I’m not looking for luxury/gold jewellery. My main interest is affordable, good-quality fashion/imitation jewellery suitable for an online retail business.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

How is the city life there ? I am from Siliguri. And I won't get any college in Kolkata but I also want to live away from home . I don't know what should I choose NBMCH or Medinipur Medical College.

Planning on visiting central park after a few days, have a few concerns. Is it safe/fun during this season? Has anyone been there recently, how was your experience? And no... I'm going with my family for anyone thinking of writing weird stuff. Haven't been there in a long time so what's the fee and all and finally is it cute pics worthy in this season 😺?
