The Community Party of India, Marxist  has ruled the Indian state of West Bengal since 1967 however the next state election planned for the middle of 2011 seek to challenge the reign of the CPI(m). West Bengal’s capital Kolkata was the base of Britain’s East India Company while it now harbour’s a visible population of over 15 million and the ever growing divide between India’s elite, middle class and urban poor has never seemed greater. With the elections looming there is a large call for change and 2011 could possibly see the end of to the Indian Communist Parties rule in the Bengal.
