This is true, but we cannot compare it with other states which have a
whole different set of baggage to carry (history/geography/cultural
etc).

Also the cause and effect is not clear.  Eg Did bengalis initially
become patriotic because of undue British presence there (compared to
other regions). If so, external circumstances led them to be
patriotic. Can you blame others for not showing such zeal if there
were no such external  circumstances in their place.

Can we compare Gujarat and Assam (which is sorrounded by Bangladesh on
three sides and has to put up with illegal immigration, separatism
etc.)

A lot of factors has made Gujarat what it is today and it is not just
Gujaratis put econony ahead of ego, politics etc (very simplistic,
lazy way of thinking)

I hope to expand on this later.
