Language of politics is becoming hideous in the Lok Sabha elections
In this upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the majority of our politicians are speaking in a language that is not only indecent or unpleasent, but also extremely awful and disrespectful. Many years ago, I purchased a book from Delhi's Khan Market titled "Dictionary of Slang". The dictionary of abuses. Our leaders' harsh words are not found in that dictionary. Because as much as the yardstick of profanity measures, our policymakers surpass it by a significant margin. "Gutter language" can be found in the dictionary, the ingenious minds innovating new ideas and implementing them are using expressions not found in conventional dictionaries. These respected individuals, who are adept politicians, may use language that could perhaps be found in a slang dictionary if they were to utter profanity. However, they are all skilled politicians. Consequently, I can't recall hearing of a cocktail of profanity mixed with bigotry and sectarianism in any previous election.
