Calcutta Diary

I

   I was pained to read the Calcutta  Diary by AM in your issue of March 4. Does the editor of Economic and Political Weekly, a public institution of some standing, have no responsibility to avoid giving publicity to writings in appallingly poor taste? Or, are we to believe that the editor sees nothing wrong in this piece? If that is not the case, we are bound to conclude, despite your protestations against K L Krishna and S D Tendulkar in your issue of April 8, that you seem to be guided by some sense of duty or obligation to AM. Please spare us such outpourings in future.
