India has not learnt the art of the obituary. I have now read pretty much every major English paper and watched tribute shows on three TV channels. And I have still to see anything other than overcooked, fawning, oh-what-a-great-man clichés that destroy reportage of every milestone or event.
Frankly, name one great thing that Bengal has done or achieved since independence. Yeah, not the strikes. To me, who did not personally know Basu, his name is synonymous with how stuck-in-limbo ideology can hamper progress. Somebody tell us about the real man. Especially if what he achieved is so sketchy.
