The place which has more exposure to literature will always be the first to raise voice in case of any oppression or anything of that sort
The elections this time proved it as well
Apart from that when any revolt starts, it’s always the writers who are made prisoners and are banished from the country, because they are the ones who have the capability to enlighten the public.
But one thing which I hear people call is ‘lazy’ specifically for people residing in West Bengal which I do have a objection but can’t help much with it
