The stories that Ghose tells would be amusing were they not so tragic. Of an auditor who made a producer’s life miserable over the purchase of one small doll. Of a director of the Madras Kendra, who when asked why he hadn’t commissioned any serials, whispered, "CBI".
Ghose’s story shows it’s impossible to run even an effective propaganda machine unless it’s freed from politicians, bureaucrats and bureaucratic procedures.
