The highly gripping drama, A Man For All Seasons, by Robert Bolt, was staged in 2000 as Kaalbela. The play focuses on the conflicts between Sir Thomas More and king Henry VIII,
and deals with crafty and expedient politicking practised in the name of politics. And in the process, raises a few fundamental questions much pertinent to our country and time. On the eve of the 50th anniversary of our independence, we chose to take a look at what the country has achieved and lost post our independence.
