A victory of our culture and heritage: Chief Minister tweets on Bengali station name in London Underground
The Bengali language is being celebrated even in faraway England.
To honour Bengalis, a signboard in Bengali has been installed at the London Underground station of Whitechapel. An exuberant Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee tweeted about this today.
She wrote: “Proud to note that the London Tube Rail has accepted Bengali as a language of signage at Whitechapel Station, signifying the increasing global importance & strength of the 1000-year old language Bengali. It underlines that the diaspora should work together in common cultural directions. It is a victory of our culture and heritage.”
