Mr. Banerjee and the squad

Hi Prashant,

Thanks for your post and I know you're right. I immediately thought of my Indian neighbors, friends and colleagues. Also my colleagues in India whom I've always enjoyed working with. None of whom sound anything like our Mr. Banerjee. Ever.

Those of us lucky enough to live in a democracy have the great luxury of complaining about it endlessly while most of the world all but kill themselves to get out of where they are and somehow get to a democracy. Which I think two squad members actually did and they STILL complain. As though where they came from are nicer places to live (and are only a plane ride away but they're still here).
