So the University was founded on the 4th of July and yesterday they had
the foundation day and convocation for the graduating students. The
Minister of Education, and Mamata Banerjee, who's the Chief Minister of
West Bengal was there. Banerjee is like the Governor of the state, and
she's famous for ousting the Communists out of power a couple of years
ago, so it was cool to see her. So you can see how big of a deal the Ramakrishna
Mission is here, there's over 91 million people in West Bengal, and they
can get the Chief Minister to come to some convocation. But
pretty much the entire the program, except for a little at the beginning
and bits and pieces here and there, was in Bengali, so everyone was
clapping and laughing and stuff at parts, and I had no idea what was
going on.
