An Indian at Cannes

Yep, another one. For once we're not talking design sarees and "most-beautiful-woman-of-the-world" nonsense.* Rather, a woman of more substance will be part of the Cannes Feature Films Jury this year: Nandita Das.

*For the uninitiated, this refers to Aishwarya Rai's stint on the Cannes Jury in 2003, where the fuss was about her dress sense rather than her adequacy as a film critic.
