A truly coalitional ice-cream. A national nuclear ice-cream. Even communists are salivating wondering if there is a Soviet component they could lay claim to. What is worse, they know you can't criticize nationalism. When Vajpayee fights the US imperial bully, Bardhan and Basu will clap.
Dissenters sound silly.
The audience orchestration is superb. Gujral loves it. And K. Subramaniam. And Jasjit Singh. Throw in a touch of Raja Mohan and Bharath Karnad.
