India ’s greatest mid-fielder passed away unnoticed
Long ago I had read that the family of the "Father of Indian Cinema" (Indian Cinema), Dada Saheb Phalke, was facing economic hardship in making two ends meet. Now, the government hands out awards to noted film luminaries in Phalke's name. But everyone has forgotten about the real PHALKE, his family which cannot feed on his legacy.
Question is that how far will current fame take a person? Cricketers, Tennis Stars, Soccer Players, Actors, Actresses make fame and money in their prime years. After their time, their legacy remains in an etch in the annals of history and a mention in their field. But are they immortal?
On the other hand, think of Mahatma Gandhi (Ok, Mohandas Gandhi, if you are a non-Indian). His fame/legacy has not diminished in any way. So is Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King Jr.
