Bengalis who’ve settled themselves in Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Hyderabad and Bangalore are compelled to explain to the locals why the “superior intellectual race” has to earn its living in their cities because back home their state is run by certified nincompoops.



Why do the Bengalis settled in Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Hyderabad, and Bangalore take so much pleasure in bashing Kolkata and Bengal? Is this their mechanism for getting accepted by their non-Bengali colleagues and neighbours who look down on them (defensive assimilation) or coping with corporate culture where being seen as too attached to one's roots is read as parochial (performative cosmopolitanism)?
