The Incredible Idiocy Of Chetan Bhagat

Why do some people dislike Chetan bhagat and his work?

Even though this topic has been to death a million times ; I'll write on it again !

Now, the proper argument against CB haters is, ‘If you don’t love him, just don’t read his books. The man has sold so many books. Cut him some slack.’But there are some reasons that he has a very good hate following!First of all , his bad quality writing style in his books. They are the Indian version of Twilight. Mindless. Page-turner, at the end you ask why you even read it in the first place. Essentially he is the embodiment of everything that's hopeless about the nation- love for masala, disdain for debates. He takes advantage of that, propagates it. Moreover he goes on to convince readers they are indulging in literature, while they're not. An unread person is better than one who has grown up on his books. A book has no obligation to appeal to the intellect and increase it, but what it shouldn't do is dumb down the masses further and that's what he does. The Bollywood equivalent for him is RGV ki Aag, TV equivalent is Roadies.  CB is not a good writer in the literary sense. He is no Vikram Seth or Arundhati Roy. He does not write flowery beautiful prose.He is simply earning because of the "masala-influenced" masses we have in our nation.Honestly no one can learn anything new from his books . No new words , no moral values ( of course not ). His books are made to be motion pictures .We can debate all day about why he isn't a good writer and why still his books are best sellers but it wouldn't change the way he writes nor the way we think.He has his fans and haters all over the world .Now , it's everyone's personal opinion on what they would prefer.The choice is all yours folks.#This is my personal opinion and I mean no offense to anyone or anything.
