Dr. Poojari's presentation of modern-day Mahabharat

Subj: Dr. Poojari's presentation of modern-day Mahabharat

1. COMMENT: I must admit I got a Big-Fat-Laugh when I looked at these pictures, they all tickled my funny-bone, to say the least.

2. Bill Shakespeare says this world is a stage, we are all mere actors in it. That being given, there is always something about an act that can't be explained in terms of the scene alone. I realize that this entire presentation is meant to be a satire, but even this take-off on parody has a skeleton of truth in it.

3. Specifically, Sonia Gandhi has a perfect-fit as Gandhari, but other Johnnies & Janes are Not too far behind. The entire proposal in this presentation has features, the interpretation of which enables a viewer, to uncover parallelisms & paradoxes, not normally open to view in the day-to-day workings, of the Phoney-Liberal Indian Politics.

4. Is there anything to be learned from this sarcasm ?
Answer: Plenty !

5. The questions that we must ask are:

a. Is there anything new in this act ?
b. Is there any declaration of truth in it ?
c. Is there anything promising in this scene ( political-scene ) ?
f. Is this ( phoney-liberal politics of India ) some kind of sophistry ?
