Amar Singh recounts a conversation in which Aiyar speaks of Mulayam Singh: “We belong to the Oxford and Cambridge set…your leader can’t even articulate himself in English…Oh that bloody Mulayam—he looks just like me. It could be because my father visited UP at some point. Why don’t you check with Mulayam’s mother.” Calling someone a bastard is, of course, par for the course for Cambridge set, just as the other England-educated barrister, Owaisi, called Modi a dog (kutta, sari nasal kutte ki) after the latter had become PM, and called Salman Khan “haraami” for visiting Modi, in a public speech. The gori mem, Sonia, could call Modi a very un-parliamentary “maut ka saudagar”, no doubt her proxy for Satan, with nary a call for her resignation, and TMC’s St. Columba’s and Scottish Church College alumnus Derek O’ Brien called him “a butcher.” Calling him Hitler (Satan secularized) has of course been habitual for this entire class of spectrum of political, media and academic elites. swarajyamag/politics/niranjan-jyoti-how-should-the-subaltern-speak/
