Readers, who are old enough to have read or watched the gangster novels and Hollywood movies in their heydays – the 1970s and 80s—like “The Godfather” or” Scarface” or “The Untouchables,” will recall that there were two distinct schools of thought about the best weapon to take on an enemy:
There was the Chicago School, which believed in the sheer blasting power of a shotgun or a Thompson submachine gun which was nicknamed a Chicago Piano.
And then there was the Sicilian School, which put its trust in a thin blade like a stiletto, which did the job, silently. There was the famous real-life incident on a London Street in 1978, when a Bulgarian dissident was assassinated, by someone poking him in the leg with a poison needle-tipped umbrella.
These macabre recollections were triggered this month by some regulatory wrinkles in India that have international ramifications.
