Rail Line body dibo, maatha dibo na. This popular modern Bengali song by Nachiketa roughly means, “I am ready to offer my body, but no I won’t give my head.” The brain, the soul is not on sale. This song comes from the Left bastion of Bengal.
The left bastion in Delhi’s heart is the sprawling campus of Jawahar Lal Nehru University, where a debate rages: Should Nestle India be allowed to open its coffee shop inside the campus.
The majority voice says: NO. WE CAN’T ALLOW MULTI-NATIONAL COMPANIES!
Their song: maatha dibo, body dibo na. They can sell their soul to foreign thinkers, but can’t have foreign coffee. They forget the fact that their ideologies — Marxism, Leninism and Maoism — are multinational with origins out of India. Now they will say no it’s Indianised. Well then it’s Nestle India, the Indianised Nestle.
