+'''Manoj Kumar (b. 1937)'''
+
+
+Hindi actor, director and producer born in
+Abbotabad, North West Frontier Province (now
+Pakistan) as Hari Krishna Goswami. Went to
+India on Partition and lived in a refugee camp
+near Delhi. Début as actor in his cousin Lekhraj
+Bhakri’s films. Broke through with Kaanch Ki
+Gudiya and Hariyali Aur Raasta. Wellknown
+hero in 60s commercial Hindi socials,
+e.g. as Bhagat Singh in the biopic Shaheed.
+Worked as a ghost director before his official
+début. Described his directorial début,
+Upkaar, as a ‘16000-foot-long celluloid flag of
+India’. Indulges in national chauvinism,
+contrasting son-of-the-soil goodness with
+Western evil, providing moral lessons together
+with the commercially attractive scenes of the
+abhorred debauchery (e.g. Purab Aur
+Paschim). Prominent campaigner for the
+fanatic Hindu communalist Bhartiya Janata
+Party in 1991 elections. Also acted in his
+productions.
