Mr.Speaker

Never before in the annals of Indian parliament has there been a more loquacious, loudmouthed and confrontational speaker than the current speaker of Lok Sabha … His stewardship of the parliament has been marked by ugly squabbles, steep deterioration in the parliamentary standards and unprecedented animosity between the ruling combine and opposition.

Prasanna rants about the current speaker.

You have linked a post that in the guise of criticizing the Speaker takes some not so veiled attacks at Bengalis and their presumed supercillousness. Just saying.

Whether pot shots are taken at bengalis or not, Somnath Chatterjee seems to think he is the high priest in a dictatorship, willing to muzzle any criticism whatsoever.

Blogs need to take him on, as his attempts to silence MSM may succeed.

Thalassa, yeah, I know. People do seem to enjoy taking pot-shots at other (sub-)cultures. As long as its not vicious, I don’t mind linking since the rest of his writing is worth reading.

Hi Thalassa/Ash

Apologies if you guys decipher even a hint of any other antisms (other than on the speaker-which was by design and i stand by it)

Please let me know the portions you find as taking potshots at a particular region .I am willing to change it

Just on a personal note,i am married to Bengali.She too is a reader of my blog.So i might be asking for trouble on my homefront if there is anything remotely anti-Bengali in this.(:

I have only immense respect and awe for many Bengalis-their intellect,social awareness
