Sugata Bose : Ronita Bharatiya Thank you. I will go through it.
Sugata Bose : Ronita Bharatiya Not quite plagiarised, it seems, for she admitted her source midway through her speech, I mean, the US Holocaust Museum and the pertinent points lifted from there and cited to highlight the Indian context.
Ronita Bharatiya : Sugatada it was absolutely that..not her own thoughts..definitely borrowed..and wonder how and why she is crying fascism in the country overlooking the sorry state of her homeground, Bengal...
Sugata Bose : Ronita Bharatiya That is the predicament of politicians seasoned to predicate truths, half-truths, quarter-truths and plain lies or simply abstain from addressing issues that will catch them napping --- by deflecting discussion or refusing to answer questions posed on such by way of dubbing then as inappropriate query --- in a curious articulate mix designed to somehow project the pertinent party line as opposed to the upholding of the truth about the real state of affairs. This is the real politic played about in an unseemly manner so often by less refined politicians who resort to coarse language to attempt pulverising opposition and by suave synthetic use of vocabulary and analytical proficiency in partial and often perverse presentation of truth by more eloquent public speakers that more misguides than leads the polity towards any worthwhile directed end.
Ronita Bharatiya : That's true..but in a democracy, as responsible citizens, we need to question them in a constructive, focused manner..
Sugata Bose : That's the pity, though, for there are not too many who posit pertinent questions so that the polity throbs as a vibrant democracy. For this, though, national interest must weigh over affiliated party's profit and the citizens, educated and enlightened, must be able to articulate their views before their representatives in the legislature so that a healthy feedback goes to men and women who are empowered by the people's mandate to bring about significant changes in the affairs of the State.
