Somnath Chatterjee is my favorite Indian politician at least right now

by Amrit Hallan on July 25, 2008

The party and ideology that he has served for 40 years has expelled Somnath Chatterjee because he does not want to denigrate the position of the Speaker of Lok Sabha. This is a rare phenomenon among Indian politicians who are used to covering in front of their bosses and madams rather than taking a stand, whether they are prime ministers, finance ministers, home ministers or having any other prominent portfolio.

The people of the country shouldn’t feel surprised at the Left’s decision. The communists are nothing but stubborn kids. They never grew up, and they mainly thrive on misery and disorder. They remind me of Lord of the Flies.

    Poem By An Undiscovered Bengali Poet

    Through the jongole I am went
    On shooting Tiger I am bent
    Boshtaard Tiger has eaten wife
    No doubt I will avenge poor darling’s life
    Too much quiet, snakes and leeches
    But I not fear these sons of beeches
    Hearing loud noise I am jumping with start
    But noise is coming from damn fool’s heart
    Taking care not to be fright
    I am clutching rifle tight with eye to sight
    Should Tiger come I will shoot and fall him down
    Then like hero return to native town
    Then through trees I am espying one cave
    I am telling self -” Chatterjee be brave”
    I am now proceeding with too much care
    From far I smell this Tiger’s lair
    My leg shaking, sweat coming, I start pray
    I think I will shoot Tiger some other day
    Turning round I am going to flee
    But Tiger giving bloody roar spotting Bengalee
    He bounding from cave like footballer Pele
    I run shouting “Kali Ma tumi kothay gele”
    Through the jongole I am running
    With Tiger on my tail closer looming
    I am a telling that never in life
    I will take risk again for my damn fool wife!!!!!
