TOMES have been written about his magical and unparalleled talent as a movie actor. The late thespian Dilip Kumar, however, endeared himself to South Asia’s moviegoers with more than his range and calibre as an actor’s actor.

The citation described Dilip Kumar as a great actor, of course, but also underlined his struggle for multicultural and multiethnic harmony. That naturally riled reactionary quarters in India.
