Question

In appearance and manner the people of Calcutta were placid and quiet. They were soft-
spoken and generally courteous. That earned for them a bad reputation among the immigrants or
sojourners from East Bengal. They said that the people of Calcutta had honey on their lips and
poison in their hearts. I used to remonstrate that it was after all not so very bad to have honey

somewhere, even if not everywhere, since we of East Bengal had poison both in our hearts and
on our lips. This argument never convinced my fellow East Bengalis, for what they were
mortally afraid of in the man of Calcutta was that the polished and plausible fellow would cheat
them of money or wheedle them into some imprudent course by the power of his glib tongue.
a) What do the immigrants from East Bengal say about the people of Calcutta?
b) Give the meaning of the word remonstrate.
c) How does the author repudiate the view of the immigrants or sojouners?
