Bankim ‘Da’ or Bankim ‘Babu’? How PM Modi responded to Trinamool MP’s objection New Delhi, Dec 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address in the Lok Sabha, opening a discussion on the 150th anniversary of the national song 'Vande Mataram', briefly detoured into a linguistic debate on Monday. The exchange occurred after the Prime Minister referred to the song's composer and iconic Bengali writer Bankim Chandra Chatterjee as "Bankim Da". Trinamool Congress MP Saugata Roy immediately objected, saying that "Da" -- a shortened form of Dada, commonly used by Bengalis to address peers or older brothers -- was too informal for a cultural figure of Bankim Chandra's stature.
