A skirmish between MaCauley Putras and Anglophiles can be seen here. "MaCauley putras" is a term referred to those elites of India who take pride in speaking flawless English. Furthermore, they thank British for coming to India, and enslaving (ooops. educating and hence civilizing) them. On the other hand, "Anglophiles" are those who speak fluent English but refuse to accept that British brought education and hence civilization to India. They also put a bad light on British crimes during British raj.
Bose family politics and the great escape, but no mention of what Nirad babu said about it in Thy Hand, Great Anarch! outlookindia.com/article.aspx?2…

@nesoron @patrickfrench2 As long as Nirad babu tops the list, I would feel no anguish

@patrickfrench2Many candidates but only fewwilling 2 come out of closet. One 'Lord" Sarkar of Calcutta would qualify, as would K.Thapar

I included this post in blog to show that sledging can be done in a respectful manner. This skirmish also show how Anglophiles are countering MaCaulay Putras in India.
