A c***** as Jharkhand CM? Yashwant Sinha's Katju moment

When Justice Markandey Katju caused a flutter when he called 90 percent of Indians fools, he wasn’t accused of using unparliamentary language. So when BJP leader Yashwant Sinha says that any chutiya could become the chief minister of Jharkhand, why is that unparliamentary? Obviously, it depends on what c***** means.

Agencies.[/caption] Urban Dictionary is clear that, if used in normal conversations (as Singh used it), a c***** is a fool or an idiot. “c***** in the literal meaning is - out of the c*** (vagina) - but the word chutia in urdu and hindi means ‘A fool’ or ‘idiot’ person 1 : “That guy just charged me double” person 2 : “because you’re a c*****” If you’re curious about the word, or other pejorative terms in Hindi, click here Linguistrix was curious, and wanted to be sure. While there definition is more detailed, the essence remains the same. A c***** is a blockhead, a fool, a dope. “It was all hazy until I decided to look in Platts Dictionary of Urdu, Classical Hindi and English, one of the best works of its kind. Let’s look at what Platts has to say about this word: H چوتيا चूतिया ćūtiyā [ćūt, q.v.+Prk. इओ=S. इकः], s.m. One who lives on the earnings of his wife’s prostitution; a term of abuse, a blockhead, dolt:—ćūtiyā-paṭait, ćūtiyā-ćakkar, ćūtiyā-ćampaʼī, s.m. A blockhead, a fool:—ćūtiyā-shahīd, s.m. A cully, a dupe;—(slang) a man who kills himself by excess of venery, a martyr to venery. More from Linguistrix here. So we get that out of the way: c***** is not unparliamentary; all it means is ‘fool’. The worst Yashwant Sinha can be accused of is speaking like Justice Katju – or speaking like a c*****.
