Santosh comments on Outlook’s list of villains in post-Independence history.
My nominations for the list:
1. Indira Gandhi, herself, for nurturing the culture of political corruption and the Emergency of 1975.
2. Indira Gandhi’s other son, Rajiv Gandhi, for, again, nurturing the culture of political corruption and his Delhi Boat Club speech.
3. L.K. Advani (and cronies) for work leading upto the subsequent demolition of Babri Masjid and its aftermath.
4. V.P.Singh (and cronies) for bringing to life the Mandal Commission in 1990.
5. And finally, in humor, Chetan Sharma, for that full-toss to Javed Miandad in Sharjah in 1986. If we can include a match fixer, why not a choker?
