It’s frightening when real life begins to imitate art. A popular, resurgent leader, a homecoming, a failed attempt at her life, a near-fascist government losing ground, a cowardly competitor to the throne and finally a fatal attack that took away not only a life, but yet again, the subcontinent’s political credibility. It’s all terribly reminiscent of a movie, except that in this case, the redemption has not yet begun.
