Adieu Abby Mann

"... a writer worth his salt has an obligation not only to entertain but to comment on the world in which he lives, not only to comment, but maybe have a shot at reshaping the world."

Abby Mann while accepting his Academy Award (1961)

Well said Unni. Really we need to redefine Indian politics. Ministers should not be allowed to take backdoor entry ( Rajya Sabha).
Nothing new about the Congress, so called party of 'aam adami' has never shown courage and strength to go for internal elections in real terms. They do have a procedure, but that is merely a formality to felicitate Nehru-Gandhi family. They should take a leaf out of the Left's book instead of coming harsh on them. Looking forward to read more.
