For over half a century, on a daily basis, the character represented the quintessential average Indian, the aam aadmi, through the not so common genius of X. X once said about his creation:
"He's been with me throughout my career. I didn't find him. He found me... I would say he symbolises the mute millions of India, or perhaps the whole world, a silent spectator of marching time."
Laloo Prasad and Atal Behari Vajpayee are amongst his favorites to work with. Who is X and what is his creation called?
