Abhijit Banerjee, People Ask, What Is His Citizenship? But I Feel He Is Half-Bengali, Half-Bombayan, Half-Delhite, Half-Indian, Half-French, Half-American In This Way Or That Way Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Abhijit Banerjee, People Ask, What Is His Citizenship? But I Feel He Is Half-Bengali, Half-Bombayan, Half-Delhite, Half-Indian, Half-French, Half-American In This Way Or That Way



Abhijit Banerjee
The Nobel Laureate for Economics for the year 2019
With his better half, Esther Duflo
And Michael Kremer
Awarded by the Swedish Academy, Stockholm
Is half-Bengali, half-Bombayan, half-Delhite,
Half-French, half-Indian and half-U.S.
As he used to live in Calcutta, Bombay, Delhi
And is half-Indian, half-French and half-American too
As he is of India living in America
And an American citizen of course
But his better half a French lady
And so a U.S. citizen
So he cannot cut his connections
With India, America and France.
