That said, why just look at the dhongi babas and Team Anna as a new phenomenon. Nautanki has always been part of our culture and politics in different forms. Think back on our leaders from the past and you'll see what I mean. Only this time it took the form of Ram Lilas on stages. To be honest, if it takes nautanki & corniness to keep the termites away, I am all for it.<br /><br />Ummm, Rakhi ... I am not too sure :)Sanjay Jainhttps://www.facebook.com/sanjayjain07noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062233828175782338.post-72502446499782533152011-09-09T01:53:05.760-04:002011-09-09T01:53:05.760-04:00Brilliant ma'am.
