I was annoyed at "the punjab." It is like saying, "the Pennsylvania," but for some reason people have some need to use the before Punjab. Maybe The West Wing needs to get some desi writers.</p> Yeah, I feel you Suresh.

What annoyed me though was that he clearly calls her Ms. Chakrabarti and then it turns out that she's from Punjab. Now maybe she's a Punjabi married to a Bengali, but then why on earth does she call Punjab "the Punjab". Does anyone except old Brit geezers call Punjab 'the Punjab' ?</p> I saw the episode as well.
