Who cares if propriety is dead?
My friend’s father is dead. Another friend’s mother is dead. Another’s uncle is dead and yet another one’s aunt is dead. A former colleague of mine is dead.
So pardon me if I don’t care for the death of propriety right now.
Has it really come to this now? In a pandemic when PM
@narendramodi
calls up a CM to enquire about the COVID situation in the state this is what a CM says? Is propriety dead? Is respect/courtesy extinct? Petty posturing more imp than human lives? PM abused for helping? Shocking

Irfan Pathan built his career through his own skill and dedication. He doesn't have to be "grateful" that he, as a Muslim, was "allowed" to represent India. He made us proud with every over he played. When he says some Indians are denied housing based on faith, we must listen.
