A lot of right-wing baiters are of the belief that they automatically belong to the box of progressive-minded people.
But I am sorry to say that if you lack empathy and acceptability, you just don't belong there!!
If moments of hot-headedness makes a Bengali (I am a Bengali) tell a Gujarati “Eat your dhoklas, and shut up”, she/he fails as an Indian.
If a South Indian tells a North Indian, “You belong to a land of crass gutka-chewing people”, she/he fails as a human being.

If your pride about Abhijit Banerjee is only because you share his mother tongue, then you are actually a pseudo-intellectual.
If the only way you know to reply back is with profanity, then I am sorry but your academic degrees mean zilch!!
If you believe that Tagore must be confined to Bengal, and Periyar to Tamil Nadu, then accept my apologies and start reading both of them!!
Your narrow-mindedness cannot confine the school of thought that Tagore, Periyar or other legends represent
