Indian politicians by and large are mostly regarded as a boring, uninteresting species culturally – despite the presence of some mediocre poets. But there is one notable exception.

Apart from the small matter of administering a state, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee takes the concept of "kaalchaar" very seriously.
