Got labeled as Classist just because I asked the Puchka Seller to maintain some basic hygiene

His forearms were constantly getting drenched in Tok Jol. He was accepting money from same wet hand and then using the same wet hand to pinch up the spices.

The small bucket he was using as a dustbin was already overflowing.

I just told him - “Dada ekta boro hata use kortey paro and gloves portey paro”. He got offended and sone of his other customers started lauging at me and said things like - Bidesh theke eshe futani shesh nei, beshi pakamo, and finally labeled as a classist.

No offence but basic sense of cleanliness in Kolkata has deteriorated in past 10 years. And somehow mentioning that makes you a classist.
