Answer:
In the annual village cricket match between Bakdeeghi and Atghara a visiting Member of Parliament (MP) is pressed into service to act as the umpire.
We saw here the beginning of a great movement that has continued to the present day; the annual cricket match between Atghara and its neighbouring village, Bakdeeghi.
The Sinhas reigned in Atghara; Bakdeeghi was ruled by the Mukherjees.
However, over the years, the violence in their conflict has abated.Since the Second World War, they have been content to play only a cricket match every year to prove their individual might.
Bakdeeghi has won 13 times so far, and Atghara has 12 victories to their credit.
The game is played in the "home-away" system in the football ground of Bakdeeghi one year and the next in the playground of Atghara.
The crowd includes such personalities as the wife of Bakdeeghi's wicketkeeper, Panchu, and the mother of the gigantic fast bowler of Atghara, Chandi (who also happens to be the local doctor's compounder.
That year the match was being played at Bakdeeghi.
The Maths teacher of the Atghara High School, Buddhadeb Babu, had been acting as umpire for the last three years.
Last year he had upheld Bakdeeghi's appeals for three run-outs and two.
Luckily for us, shortly before the match was to take place, a Member of Parliament happened to visit Atghara.
One of my friends, Nantu Dutta, suggested that we approach the visiting MP, Mr Gopinath Ghosh.
It was hoped that he would be able to take an impartial decision since he was not related to any family of Atghara or Bakdeeghi.
"No problem," said Paramesh-da, not willing to deprive Atghara of the glory of having an MP as their umpire.
Three days later shortly before the match was to begin, we found Mr Ghosh sitting in a chair, engrossed in theWisden.
he asked Paramesh-da shrugged nonchalantly."A member of the parliamentary sub-committee for Company Law, Mr Gopinath Ghosh.
Even Malkhandhi, whose powerful lungs usually scared the birds away, made just one appeal in such soft and respectful tones that Mr Ghosh failed to hear him.
Patu forgot to argue as Mr Ghosh's hand went up, and slowly returned to the pavilion.
"For obstructing the field," replied Gopinath Ghosh and, to everyone's astonishment, proceeded to recite Rule number 40 Mr Ghosh, used to taking decisions, now took a quick one.
