Does sycophancy has limits in our country, especially when it comes to the Congress guys and girls? I think they can easily make it to the Guinness Book of World Records for being the most ardent sycophants on the planet. In case you are not aware of the context, in the picture Sonia Gandhi’s image has been super-imposed upon the legendary Rani Laxmi Bai who valiantly fought the British during the 1857 uprising.
I “borrowed” this image from the cover of a national magazine (cannot locate it right now). I clicked the photograph with my digital camera as the scanner is not with me right now.
If I had such spineless party workers I’d be so embarrassed.
If you click on the image you can see with a clearer (but slightly blurred at the same time) perspective, Rahul Baba securely ensconced behind his Amazonian mamma.

[…] What is it about the Gandhi family that brings forth such stupid sycophancy? Amrit shares a pciture that tells it all. I wonder what will happen when India runs out of Gandhis [hat tip: Mridula] […]

I think you meant during the 1857 uprising

Oops! Corrected. Thanks

No, unfortunately it doesn’t have limits. But as I commented on another blog, there is a Vajpayee temple and a Vajpayee chalisa. So it is not limited to Congress guys and girls alone. And what about “Amma”’s followers in TN-they certainly take the cake.

I totally agree…sycophancy in South is legendary, especially when it comes to actors and politicians. In fact there it is unbelievable — people set themselves on fire at the drop of a hat!
