As unfortunate as it might sound, Indian politics and ‘Gunda Raaj’ go hand in hand. Even in 2023, when we are striving to rise above caste, creed, and religion, there are men in our country who run large ‘kingdoms’ based on the criteria mentioned above.
This power play is witnessed all across the country but there are two states in particular that take immense pride in their ‘Bahubalis’.
Here are 5 Indian Bahubalis that will remind you of Guddu Tiwari, from Shootout- The Bihar Chapter, only on Kuku FM.
