The senior politician, Mukul Roy, recently switched back to his old party, the Trinamul Congress, after hobnobbing with heavyweights of the Bharatiya Janata Party as national vice- president for 1,316 days — he even won from the Krishnanagar seat as a BJP candidate We love to hear stories about our past.

This shows that political ideology for the examination. Hence, memorizing is for the ground-level workers while leaders in names and dates and writing them down the higher echelons are free to change parties. during examinations become the most People like Roy have not borne the brunt of the important thing. There are a handful of post-poll violence. They should take initiative teachers and schools who emphasize meaning to rehabilitate and compensate party workers and emotion in history, encouraging us to use or their families who have been rendered the study of the past to make sense of our own homeless or lost lives in the aftermath of the elections, irrespective of party colour, to lives today.

A few months ago, BJP Chaura incident is less important than politics.

But with several turncoats a movement and asking whether movements that the party seems ready to take them back. Sir — booth committees. His efforts ensured that the BJP reportedly in line to return, the situation seems to be the should carry on even if some of their Dealing a major blow to the BJP, Mukul Roy, hitherto the performed well in the 2018 panchayat elections, inspiring other way round. But since Roy was thus far in the BJP, he participants turn violent. There is also another party’s national vice-president and one of the key faces in him to strengthen the party before the 2019 Lok Sabha had not been arrested in spite of alleged involvement in problem. The affluent and the powers that be Bengal, has returned to the TMC, along with his son. In elections. His tireless work paid rich dividends and the scams. Roy should now be ready to face the music. After don’t want to hire many historians. What they spite of the attempts of the BJP state president, Dilip BJP won 18 of the 42 seats in Bengal, and increased its all, this is how Indian politics works. Sir — In a historic want are workers, technicians, managers.

This claim is a matter of debate just like the According to some estimates, about 100 million animals political coup in Bengal in 2017. He was considered take the approach of teaching about great reported remark by Roy that the BJP’s stress on are bred and killed each year to supply fur to the fashion crucial in the 2019 elections too. But what changed when communalism irked him. If that was the case, how could sector. This is utterly unreasonable, given that faux fur people, great buildings, great events. The it came to the state elections? The answer lies in the tact of he stay in the party for nearly four years? Roy seems to be can easily be used in place of animal fur. One also hopes ‘Great Things’ approach to history shapes our the BJP’s Central leadership. In the hope of dethroning Banerjee’s first target among legislators she plans to that the political changes in Israel do not affect the identity and gives content and form to culture. Mamata Banerjee, the BJP leadership gave more bring back from the BJP, including those who switched country’s decision in this regard.
