Likud, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel, Gideon Saar

He is sombre and staid compared with Netanyahu’s more energising, media-savvy style, and had hoped to sway voters nostalgic for a more restrained statesman, even if his position regarding the Palestinians is considered even more hawkish and nationalistic.

Celluloid, Ritwik Ghatak, India, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha

Celluloid Citizen

Small wonder that as many as 24 members of Ghatak’s family have bared their angst ~ “This act of using any content from his films ~ which does not fit into the context ~ to support a law which seeks re-establishment of identity, talks about the possibility of taking away the citizenship of a particular minority community is deemed unacceptable. It violates the values and principles espoused by Ghatak”. Pre-eminently, he was an ardent believer in humanism and secular ideals”.
