we already have a very sizeable north indian population in calcutta as well as bengal in general.
and for all the population of muslims have have crept in, we dont see appeasement POLICIES (like say ysr promising muslims reservations) in WB yet.
as an aside, andhras, tamils etc are NOT real hindus.
hinduism is entirely of north indian manufacture. everything from vedas, to puranas, to ayurveda, to yoga and other shastras to salbha sutras to ramayan and mahabharat to astronomical and mathematical treatises - everything thats hindu was written by north indians (ie. from ved vyas, puru tribe who wrote the rig veda, aryabhatta, bhramagupta, charaka - everyone) and in sanskrit. also we never ever called ourselves hindus, but "arya". hindu is just the iranian word for the arya (north indian) people living on this side of the sindhu river.
