“Jai Shri Ram!” for a while that cry has been creeping into my consciousness beginning with when the first Hindu Rashtriya workers began materialising in the Lakes and teaching children to repeat the slogan. I heard it in a narrow lane early in the morning when a durwan (guard) greeted a Hindi-speaking friend and then again when the chant seemed to march outside my window down Gariahat with determined defiance only to slip into a more normal ‘Inquilab Zindabad!’ “Don’t worry about it,” a friend advised me, “it’s a North Indian greeting which they are trying to introduce here,” but I wasn’t quite sure about that because it seemed to be brandished more and more as a provocation and if you did not say it, you were against it. Something that seemed strange in Bengal where, according to legend, Ram had called on Ma Durga for help against Ravana and started Bengal’s beloved Autumn Durga Puja as a result. In Ma Durga’s and Ma Kali’s land then can Jai Shri Ram hold forth?
