Che Guevara by Kapil Arambam

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who love Ernesto Che Guevara and those who hate him. Previously, the ubiquitous Korda image was just another piece to adorn my notebooks and t-shirts, but my fascination for this rebel took the plunge after writing the script for a documentary film on his life a few years ago. He belonged to a school of thought that the oppressed can overcome the oppressors, conforming to the leftist ideologies and armed struggle – and he died for the ideals he believed in. Apart from the craze to get the Motorcycle Diaries DVD when it was released in 2004, it was the essence of his undefined philosophy to fight against inequality and injustice that attracts attention.
