Sharat Chandra was a very powerful novelist, despite having written some tear-jerkers. What is not widely known that he was adept at polemical writing, and could be bitterly sarcastic. So he wrote of a man who was publicly insulted in a panchyat. His wife was inconsolable, and cursed those who maltreated her husband. The man, however, was insouciant. He said, "Why do keep on saying that they insulted me? I was never insulted. Only, one or two boxed my ears." Disclaimer: Any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is wholly coincidental.
