		Seshan got projected as an “agent of the upper caste establishment intent on robbing Bihar away from the underclasses”.

		Prior to the 1990s, the Indian politicians, like in Bangladesh at present, largely ignored their electoral laws, and India had, as one commentator once said, "the best democracy that muscle and money could buy." The situation changed drastically with the appointment of the legendary TN Seshan as the CEC in 1991.
		Mr Seshan forced candidates to abide by the electoral laws and code of conduct, and strengthened the EC's supervisory machinery.
		For example, in state assembly elections of 1993 in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Sikkim, he succeeded in getting candidates to adhere to the election spending limits by deploying 336 audit officers to keep daily accounts of the candidates' election expenditures.

		The unfamiliar face was that of Seshan, the gourmet, who kept railing at culinary misdemeanours.
		The only good things he had to say were about his mother (who wouldthrash him each time he dared to put the rim of glass to his lips) and about the famed Malayalee appetite for fish and coconut milk.
