It is sheer amazing to see all the hoopla Sachin Tendulkar is creating with his nomination to Rajya Sabha and call for Bharat Ratna. I took the courtesy to probe into the context a little and here are few thoughts.
No doubt Sachin has done a great service to the nation in sports, but where does the constitution fit into all this? Well, not very favorable actually , read here ; “Article 80 (3) The members to be nominated by the President under sub clause (a) of clause ( 1 ) shall consist of persons having special knowledge or practical experience in respect of such matters as the following, namely: Literature, science, art and social service. “ |

Kolkata, April 23 (IANS) Veteran actor Soumitra Chatterjee, who starred in 14 celluloid classics of Satyajit Ray, says working with the master filmmaker was an exciting learning process. And he continues to inspire, even 20 years after his death.
Saluting Ray’s poetic, lyrical and artistic qualities, Chatterjee told IANS in an interview: “He is a special kind of poetic, lyrical, artistic visionary. If you see his films you can feel that such poetic, lyrical, artistry can belong to nobody else.”
Chatterjee, this year’s winner of Indian cinema’s highest award, the Dadasaheb Phalke, shared a “comradeship” with Ray that was spread over three decades, and ended only with the film maestro’s death on this day in 1992. |
