News is just out that Ashutosh Gowariker's epic love drama Jodhaa Akbar, has fallen victim to caste politics and the MP government has banned it from been screened in that state. And this is after the protest were dying down. The Rajput community had asked for a ban a week ago but seeing that their demand were being ignored they slunk away like the snakes they were. But the lame duck government (what else do you call a government which instead of upholding the law plays vote bank politics) decided it was a grea chance to bag the loyalty of the Rajput community. And so they banned the film even though there were no perceivable law and order problems.

In fact only last week a minister Mr. Gaur saw the film and found no problems with the movie and suddenly the CM now finds it a danger to Law and Order and bans it? Mysterious. Actually cheap politicians playing cheaper games.
