If the Radia Tapes were adapted for TV then 🙂 this is how I see various countries & cultures adapting it for main stream popular TV:
- The US – It will be a story of a woman’s ambition and her relentless climb to the top – that hides a back story of heartbreak and betrayal. Scripted by the likes of Sidney Sheldon (i know he is no more) – the film will possibly get someone like Glen Close to play play the heroine. It will be strong, kiss ass woman with a vulnerable heart story … And it will be out in the next 6 weeks.
- The UK – it will be a 5 part BBC (like) adaptation of Othello. Except that Othello & Iago will be brothers. It will be directed by the likes of Kenneth Brannah – and will be moody and atmospheric. Expect a lot of beautifully shot English Country Side with classical piano music …. The women, will be the Lady Macbeth variety or the Queen Elizabeth (I) variety or the Princess Diana types, in characteristic – lots of hushed whispers and behind the scenes maneuvering.
- In France – it will be a story of sex and revenge. Lots of Sex. and illegitimacy …..
- Italy – it would be the story of a mafia family warfare.
- In Saudi Arabia – it will be a religious discourse
- In China it will be a story of feudal system breakdown and the call of revolution – with lots of choreographed violence
- In Japan – it will be violent manga set around the construction industry
- In Spain it will be story of honest Income Tax officials who bring down a cross ‘denominational’ cartel
- In Pakistan it would be comedy
- In Mexico, it will be a telenovella about a girl who swears revenge at her father’s death at the hands of a strong man ….
In India, aah that is the problem. In India it is news …..
in india it is everything above apart from being just News
what i meant to say was it is factual 🙁
I have a question now?
Who taped them? And if taping is such rampant, you and I must be very very afraid….
after all BB* is watching you
Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past
Whatever might be the authenticity….. this stinks real bad with 1984 riots, Bofors, Sugar, Urea, Fodder, Telecom (Sukh Ram), Coffin, Dabhol, Mustard Oil Adulteration, mewa adulteration, Adarsh Society, Bhopal, Laxmi Nagar bldg collapse, CWG, Godhra and post Godhra, Manipur, 2G….list is endless with no end in sight
*By BB I never met that shit they show on TV, I am referring to Orwell.
if you check out Girish Nikam’s site – then you will see the original papers. IT dept. obtained written permission to tape Nira Radia’s calls because they believed that her lobbying on behalf of the Power, Telecom and Land Acquisition interests were compromising national interest.
So, from what I understand, she was tapped – and therefore all conversations she had with contacts, collaborators and clients …
Then it stinks real bad
What about Russia? KGB operative? 😛
