June 07, 2016 12:11 am | Updated September 16, 2016 11:07 am IST

Both Odisha and West Bengal deserve to receive the intellectual property tag for the iconic sweet rosogolla for the simple reason that while Odisha invented the sweet, West Bengal popularised it (“Odisha wages a literary struggle to claim rosogolla as its own”, June 6). Such a step will respect the feelings of both States while ensuring that the reputation and quality of the pan-Indian sweet will remain the same.
