"Mamata got angry when she proceeded out of the gate no 1 but could not place her car as it had to find its way through a crowd."

I guess she hasn't yet taken fully to being a desi VVIP. The other VVIPs around all of Desh would not have had this problem of the car having to "find its way through a crowd". Traditionally, the world stops and have to wait even Ambulances, Fire Engines for the VVIP and his/her entourage to pass. I experience this practically everyday in Bangalore for some strange reason.

The fomer Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya has, in a television interview, alleged that the present Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee is corrupt.

Do we hope Prof. Ashis Nandy is listening cacophony over the scenario of his incorruptible utopian state  among the politicians who have successfully kept the SCs, STs and OBCs getting near power over 100 years?

How did he conclude the desert of  sonar Bangla and its rulers since 1947 are corruption free, though they look angelical and divine? Let him do some ground work.

Let me record  my own personal observation: Till 1970s we would see beggars, who knocked  at the door beg alms for marriage of his daughter, annaprasan for his son, or study of his son as well as daughter declaring his caste, which invariably the top most one. Men of no other caste would dare to declare his caste to beg. Besides if any does, he does not impress to person approached if he comes from lower social strata. Anybody from the top would be hounded out with a full throated abuse as ' bloody chhotalok'.

For last 40 years this class of beggars have ceased to exist in Bengal seeking alms declaring caste identity any longer.

The Left Front Government has taken good care of them in various ways. Corruption alone could bring the change.

But we are sure to know more about the ways of corruption between the rulers in the true spirit of the proverb: When two theives querrel, truth comes.

abusing the ones who protect her?

forgot indira gandhi?

Mamata is proving unworthy of her post and title, with her abusive behavior of people whom she lords over.  She is put in her place by the people who can take her out anytime tomorrow.  But her current position does not allow her to treat like animals, those working for her and but paid by the tax payers.

Let her continue to treat them this way, and a day will come when these same body guards will find it very convenient to turn a blind eye to her when she will need them the most. And that will be some poetic justice.

Oh the queen now wants to whip her servants! No issues really - she owns them, she can do what she wants.
