Tikait-isms

Self Styled farmers¿ leader Mahendra Singh Tikait¿s unsavoury casteist remarks on the UP Chief Minister, Mayawati should not come as a surprise. He is known for his patriarchal and feudal ways. Several years back he told a woman journalist who had come to interview him : "Tu ghar jaa aur roti paka " (You go home and make chapatis).
