Description
‘Pataudi-ka-sher zindabad. India-ka-kaptan zindabad!’— these slogans echoed through crowds of supporters, ferried in trucks to each stop of Nawab Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s 1971 Lok Sabha campaign.
In this illustration, Hindustan Times cartoonist Sudhir Dhar captures a moment from the campaign, contrasting Pataudi’s efforts to connect with the aam aadmi with the privilege surrounding him.
Khan, who contested from Gurgaon on a Vishal Haryana party ticket, lost to Tayyab Husain.
