Calcutta Diary

Calcutta Diary A M THE winter is ended, the season of discontent has however only begun.

The inert middle class has suddenly discovered the need for organised action to protect their living standards. The once-snooty attitude toward the wretched labouring sections who resort to strikes every now and then is gone. Inflation, evidently, is a great leveller.
