Veteran actor of Bollywood Kader Khan has breathed his last. Today's generation identifies him only as an actor of comedy genre. There was a time when Govinda and Kader Khan made for a superhit pair. Their roles would be created on the lines of popular cartoon series such as Tom and Jerry.

Shakti Kapoor also entered into the completion equation sometimes.

BJP leaders have created a massive controversy around the words CM Kumaraswamy has said to the police officer who called to inform him regarding the murder of a JDS leader who was close to the CM, in Maddur of Mandya district recently. Kumaraswamy has already clarified his words and the emotions behind those. But using these words as a pretext, leader of opposition BS Yeddyurappa of the BJP is trying to ensure HDK is being seen as a culprit in the whole episode. But would it not be better if the BJP leaders had one look at their own national leaders?

The politics of statue that's happening in India isn't limited to this country alone, but has spread to some other nations as well. The proof of this lies in the fact that the incidents around Mahatma Gandhi's statue in Ghana are getting complex with every passing day. Giving in to pressure by a few professors, the statue of M K Gandhi was ripped out from the University campus. This is almost the same politics that's getting a lot of attention in India as well.
