bengalis are neck deep in films, books, music, religion (the fervour fo durga puja), into emphasis on education, into all the things marxism is against.

Hey,after doing music, books, religion, dance, films and intellectual discussions when there will be time to talk business, ........on a lighter side (not to be taken seriously).
On a more serious note, unwillingness to take risk is one factor. Another factor after spending enough on education (middle class perspective) there will always a need to recover the cost so unwillingness to take the risk.
Leftist thinking discourages capitalist thinking and associate them with something how they call it an 'elite' class. Commerce got associated with being crass. Business man became as not too acceptable form of manifestation after doing a couple of Masters.
But then some NRIs have done well.....Bose, PC.
Remember Enterpreneurship is also about risk taking and flexibility to adjust.....but then sometimes with a glorious history to look at, flexibility, alliances do not come easily.
I also think early socio-religious thinkers did contribute to some extent in dematerialization of the society. However newer gen is much more flexible and willing to take risks.
