Sir and Madam are still intact?
After Mathur, Muttar and Ambalapuzha panchayats, Angamaly and Paravur block panchayats in Ernakulam district also decided to ban the use of greetings like "Sir" and "Madam".
Greetings like Sir and Madam are vestiges of colonial rule, according to these LSG institutions and they have no suggestion for a suitable greeting. They all asked the State Language Institute to suggest alternatives.
However, so far, the State Language Institute has not offered any alternative terms for Sir and Madam. This is completely reprehensible and if the Language Institute considers this matter to be stupid, it should disclose it. Do not let the people of the aforementioned local institutions suffer more because of the wicked approach of the local politicians.
