We forgive you Modi ji

When I used to read about the Gujrat riots I would discuss with my pals about how could the lure of ‘kursi’ make a human go down so much that hundreds of lives are sacrificed. I have fought vehemently with some of my ardent VHP supporting friends about this communal fight being downright politically motivated by some insane people who will kill anyone for power.

But I am made to think otherwise after the protests in Calcutta over the omission of our dada dear from the side. Not that I have anything against our most successful captain, infact I used to love his aggressive game once. But that was once. Things change, and they should bloody well change if that’s the need of the hour. But that would not wash down well in kolkataa coz the person concerned here is not a non performing captain but a fellow Bengali. Accepted till this point. Favoritism is human. But I got irritated when the so called city of cricket lovers applauded to wickets of Sachin and Dravid. Both of them are the pillars of the game which is treated as religion. And defaming the gods will not go down well with me or any other Indian. Watch out kolkatta!

The point I am trying to make is, its not the BJP or the Modis which are making us fight. We are communal to the core and we don’t want to change. In the globalized era we’ll keep being a Bengali, tamil and marathi and the all that the Modi jis of this world have to do is enjoy the circus of these jokers.

Passing thought: Kapil paaji said that “dada is an Indian first and a Bengali later”. O paaji tusi great ho, how did you sense pawar ji coming in shoes of Jaggu dada this early
