Do Bollywood movies epitomise India or are they chick flicks?

 

Indian Law Makers/Breakers

Below is an extract of a news article from sifynews (http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=14718936) talking about trust vote in the Indian parliament on the nuclear deal. A whole section is dedicated to parliamentarians languishing in various jails. If we take the extract of that section it sounds almost like the script of a stand up comedian ridiculing MP's, yes on a serious note it does show the state of Indian politics, but it does make a good satire (also note they are all from UP or Bihar the two most populous states having the highest representation in the parliament) -

In Ghazipur jail, UP, SP MP Afzal Ansari was visited by BSP MP Akbar Ahmed Dumpy. Afzal is reported to be negotiating a BSP ticket for the next elections.

In Nani central jail, UP, expelled SP MP Atiq Ahmed was approached by Mulayam Singh's nephew and Mainpuri MP Dharmendra Yadav, to ensure that he did not walk over to the BSP.

In Fatehpur jail of UP, expelled BSP MP Umakant Yadav, received a visit from senior BSP leader and UP Minister Naseemuddin Siddiqui. The MP, who was personally handed over to police by Mayawati, was promised that his expulsions would be revoked and cases against him withdrawn if he voted against UPA.

The Delhi High Court on Thursday allowed RJD MP from Madhepura Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav to take part in the trust vote.

RJD MP from Siwan, Mohammed Shahabuddin and Lok Jan Shakti Party MP from Ballia, Suraj Bhan, have also got bail to participate in the trust vote. They are expected to go with UPA.
