I happen to have a couple of Calcatian friends who surprisingly agree with this "kipta" tag. They however seem anxious to make some qualifications in this matter. It turns out there are two distint kinds of West Bangalis. The "Bangals" and the "Ghotis". The Bangals originate from what is now Bangladesh, and Ghotis are indigenous to the Indian side of the border. If my Bangal friends are to be believed than it is the Ghotis who have given Calcatians their miserly reputation. So far, from my personal experience I have to say I find much to agree with this opinion. Ghotis living in Bangladesh have quite the reputation as well
I hope everyone will take this discussion in the light manner that it was intended.

These posts are reminding me of that famous 'Goru rochona' where that student would turn any essay into an essay of cow. Can't be sure whether that was prodigious or not.
