Letter Published in The National UAE on 18Jan 18 I refer to Rashmee Roshan Lall's op-ed First Rajinikanth, now Oprah: name recognition alone should not prepare you for public office (January 16). Ms Lall elaborately explains the history of personality politics in both the US and India. Is Rajinikanth, despite his decades-long film career, millions of fans and stated intentions to eradicate corruption, really an acceptable figure in politics? People's political choices tend to be different from their film choices. This was a meaningful and thought-provoking article.
