Bengal Election Clash: ‘Swami’ Ramakrishna & ‘Bankim Da’ Ignite Cultural Battle | ON POINT | News9

Описание: As West Bengal heads toward Assembly elections, political tensions are rising over culture and identity. PM Modi’s recent references to Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa as “Swami” and Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay as “Bankim Da” have triggered sharp reactions from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and TMC leaders, who argue these icons have traditional honorifics like “Thakur” and “Bankim Babu.” The disputes highlight how cultural reverence, politics, and identity are colliding in Bengal ahead of the polls, raising questions about who gets to define the legacy of the state’s most revered figures.
