West Bengal is a state of emotion, expression, and electoral edge — where the street is the pulse, and political poetry bleeds into graffiti and protest posters. With Kolkata as its cultural core, the state swings between literature and labour rights, cinema and syndicates, violence and festivals. Every week brings new headlines: party switchovers, CBI raids, train derailments, communal tensions in Howrah, or teacher recruitment scams debated across para tea stalls. The BJP vs TMC battle shapes district headlines, but the state's deeper issues lie in rural joblessness, broken healthcare in Purulia, and post-cyclone recovery efforts in the Sundarbans. Darjeeling raises Gorkha identity demands periodically, while border towns like Malda or Cooch Behar face drug trafficking alerts and infrastructure neglect. The culture machine — from Nandikar to Kaahon — still flourishes despite declining state patronage. RagaDecode reads between the lines — decoding Bengal’s pain, pride, and power shifts with cultural insight and ground truth.
