The strategic nobility and the strategy of Nobel Prize had always been
a mystery on it's own right. The International Socialist Movement of the
Post-World-War-I 1920s was the vehicle, not only of admirable creativity,

First Rabindranath Tagore (1913), the First Hindoo, the First Hanooman,
least to say the first Bengali. Soon followed by his most distinguished
French convert to Hinduism, Romain Rolland. Indeed a better Hindoo than
the born Hindoos, in the spirit of "better christian than the pope."
Romain Rolland has written on Vevekananda, Tagore, Gandhi and all the
Religious, Non-secular social and cultural leaders of India, skewed towards
the progress of Hindooism. For more on him (

of a secular Muslim arranging to film a culturally fundamentalist Hindoo
tale of a French-Hindoo man, of another time and space. Such transgressions
are not only interesting in their bastardness and hybridity of their contents
but these are also interesting attributes of Bengali-Hindooism and Hindooism
to skillfully manipulate the culture for religious gains in a divided world.
