ABSTRACT The life of Chengez is crisscrossed by personal and political events and though, in the best fashion of an objective analyst, one tries to keep these issues compartmentalised, they do overlap. It is these areas of overlapping that become interesting as they illustrate the maxim, “The personal is political and the political is personal.” The two parts of the study show how Changez’s life becomes an eddy caught in the cross currents of international geopolitics, especially in the…

Some were made that greatly shows stereotypical intent, such as the shorts made during war times like “Commando Duck” defaming the Japanese and quite openly too.
