WAKE UP PEOPLE HOW MUCH MORE YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO THESE KIND OF CHEAP STATEMENTS,

1. HE SAYS, IT WAS AGAINST PROTOCOL, TELL ME TERRORISTS HAVE ATTACKED, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE PROTOCOL OR REACH THE SITE.

2. SOMEBODY MISGUIDED THEM, DO YOU HAVE ANY PROOF MR. ANTULAY OR JUST MAKING AN ALLEGATION FOR POLITICAL MILEAGE?

3. KINDLY READ THE EYEWITNESS CONSTABLE'S STATEMENT OR WATCH THIS VIDEO AND YOU WILL STOP TALKING RUBBISH.

JAI HIND!

The Tale of modern day Vishwamitra be told:


I was browsing through Nandan Nilekani’s blog and a strange thing struck me. I saw the maximum number of comments where Nandan has replied to comments and when he left this habit slowly the number of people posting their comments decreased. New people to blog like me posted in search of answers and some ‘publicity’ but the gates are closed as if we are apsaras, experts like those in his blogroll are like Menekas and Nandan, the Vishwamitra who doesn’t budge from his penance of not replying. I hope the Rambha for this blog comes soon so that we are able to talk to him at least once. I know he is very busy but he can respond to first three comments, or comments from experts at least.

AN APPEAL TO FELLOW BLOGGERS AND VISITORS KINDLY POST THIS MESSAGE AT NANDAN’S BLOG OR MAIL IT TO HIM. I WON’T DO THAT BECAUSE I HAVE HAD ENOUGH PUBLICITY ALREADY. AND BEWARE OF COMMENTING ON HIS BLOG IN THE FUTURE, NO RESPONSES GUARANTEED (BUT PUBLICITY IS)! THIS IS NOT HATE MAIL BUT AN HONEST ANALYSIS! I AM NOT SEEKING REPLY FOR MY POST, DEFINITELY NOT, WHO AM I, WHAT AM I, TO ASK FOR IT?
SINCERELY,
LATENT DISSENT.

Thanks for the great responses, and your kind wishes. I won’t be able to respond to all of the comments, but will try to be as thorough as possible.

Ranganathan: I fully agree about ordinary Indians having to take up extraordinary roles. We’ve often focused too much on our successes than on our challenges. Being an Indian citizen means accepting both.

Krishna Koneru: I think adopting the best of the world is very different from ‘aping’ western culture. And is English a ‘western’ language anymore? Some linguists have pointed out that more Indians now speak the tongue than Americans and British.

Meenakshi: Reiterating my response to Krishna, I don’t oppose native languages. But I don’t believe in the Indian vs. foreign dichotomy as the reason to teach or not teach a language.

Pushpraj Singh: I agree that Indian companies must do a lot more, the way American businesses involve themselves in philanthropy. Infosys has tried to do this with its Foundation. But development needs both business and government - neither can survive without the other. Both have to take up more effective roles.

Prodipto Roy: You are right that India has had a tendency to react with reforms only in crisis. An ongoing, idea-based approach towards policy is still missing.

Rajiv Ranjan: Yes,the book should be out in Hindi (and other Indian languages) soon. I would like to reach as many people as I can.

- Nandan.

Tabu, CM’s (Mule’s) daughter, is kidnapped by an extremist group that seeks freedom of its members from jails. The group’s leader is Sunil Shetty, son of a rich businessman (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) and the past love interest of Tabu.


The story then proceeds in flashbacks, how they met, what went inside their lives and their minds, how a school teacher rose through the corridors of power becoming the CM, the businessman’s obsession with his business and the extent to which he can go for profits. Then there is a basti, which is frequented by these two, how they meet Bhau (Patekar) and how he influences them.


Patekar through his political satire, his devotion to work for people selflessly makes him extremely popular, at first he acts as a messenger of people then gets fed up by the system and decides to contest the election. Mule’s political guru present CM Agashe convinces her to fight the elections as he knows he will lose. Angered by the defeat Mule gets Agashe killed with the help of Kharbanda, and grabs the CM’s post through sympathy. She also plans riots in Patekar’s village and gets him arrested and brutally tortured by the police, he loses all sense of reality when he comes out of jail.


The protagonists unite once again to deliver justice to all the innocent people who suffered by the deeds of their parents, they become suicide attackers and kill their parents in a public rally.


You may call the film mediocre, dragging, lengthy but I see something good in it. Eventhough the songs are not catchy they are true. Gulzar gets Patekar’s character say what a common man has to say on present day polity of India. The Corruption, Selfishness, Greed, Hunger of Power, Illegitimate Relations, The Conflict of being a corrupt person’s child, The Latent Dissent with such live all are seen in this movie. Although this idea has been shown in many other movies I see this movie connected to Rang De Basanti which I think is based on the films The Legend of Bhagat Singh (Ajay Devgan) and Hu Tu Tu (Nana Patekar).


So this is the story of Hu Tu Tu, as I remember, hope you like it.
