Woman with Master's in English criticises Rahul Gandhi, gets grammar lesson instead

An assistant professor from Bengal questioned Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on andhbhakts in an X post. The internet, however, was more fixated on the grammatical mistakes in her post.Woman with master's in English criticises Rahul Gandhi, gets grammar lesson instead (Photo: @asliarpita/X)An assistant professor's attempt to criticise Congress leader Rahul Gandhi backfired after social media users corrected her grammar despite her claiming to hold master's degrees in both English and Education.Arpita Chatterjee, who identified herself as an assistant professor from West Bengal, shared a post on X claiming that she held two master's degrees and was pursuing a PhD while questioning Rahul Gandhi over his remarks about "andhbhakts."In her post, Chatterjee wrote, "Dear Rahul Gandhi, I am a proud Andhbhakt and an assistant professor, having two master's degree (English and Education), having B.Ed. Degree too and pursuing PhD. According to you an Andhbhakt is an IDIOT. Am I an IDIOT! Are you sure?"While the post was intended as a criticism of Gandhi, it quickly garnered attention for its language and phrasing instead. Take a look at the post here:Dear @RahulGandhi , I am a proud Andhbhakt and an assistant professor, having two master’s degree(English and Education), having B.Ed. Degree too and pursuing PhD.According to you an Andhbhakt is an IDIOT.Am I an IDIOT ! Are you sure ?— Arpita Chatterjee (@asliarpita) July 29, 2026Several users focused on Chatterjee's grammar rather than her criticism of Gandhi. Some pointed out that, despite claiming to hold master's degrees in both English and Education, her post contained multiple grammatical errors. Some even rewrote parts of her post, suggesting that phrases such as "having two master's degree" should have been written as "having two master's degrees" and that "pursuing PhD" should have been phrased as "pursuing a PhD."Others sarcastically remarked that an English postgraduate making such mistakes was ironic, while a few joked that the post had unintentionally become a grammar lesson instead of a political statement.- EndsPublished By: Yashna TalwarPublished On: Jul 31, 2026 19:23 IST
