The dude writes an obituary of Ivan Fernandez but it ends up disgracing him rather than honouring him. He writes that Fernandez was a "fraud" aristocrat at St Stephen's, because although he was at St Stephen's he did not belong to one of the following ICSE schools: Doon, Mayo, St Columba's in Delhi, and La Martiniere and St Xavier's in Kolkata 🙄
- St Xavier's Kolkata: Kaushik Basu, Shashi Tharoor
Now, barring Swapan Dasgupta, can you guess the connection??? 😂😂😂😂 And even then, Swapan Dasgupta is embraced by the Lutyens elite because of his posh accent.
Now read what Shekhar Gupta has to say about this. ...
FYI here are some Stephanians from these schools:
- Doon: Prannoy Roy, Amitav Ghosh, Mani Shankar Aiyar, Karan Thapar, Ram Guha, Rahul Gandhi
- St Columba's: Rahul Gandhi as well, AM Singhvi
- La Martiniere Kolkata: Swapan Dasgupta,
- St Xavier's Kolkata: Kaushik Basu, Shashi Tharoor
Now, barring Swapan Dasgupta, can you guess the connection??? 😂😂😂😂 And even then, Swapan Dasgupta is embraced by the Lutyens elite because of his posh accent.
