GOODBYE "ME LORD" I used to laugh at our lawyers adressing the judge in court scenes in Indian movies. It has taken 56 years for the Bar Councils and the Judiciary to drop these vestiges of the Raj. Now when will the rest go! The Governor is still called your Excellency and his entourage, with a waiter, dressed in starched uniform at public functions, and the "Honourable" MLAs/Ministers and so on? When the first citizen of the country can be called, with all due respect, as Mr President, why cant we do away with all these ridiculous titles and maharaja pomp that demean the citizen? It gets jarring when people doing "dishonourable" deeds and some even with criminal records/cases filed against them are compulsarily referred to as honourable so and so!
