Sea Of Poppies----Cast list

Ed.Note>  Here's a possible list of actors for Amitav Ghosh's 'potential blockbuster'...Sea Of Poppies, the first of the Ibis Trilogy. The novel has too many characters for a complete and detailed list of actors. This is a tentative list consisting of only those characters that took our fancy and remained etched on our collective memory. There are three lists of actors. That was done to avoid damaging the furniture  conflict. Any suggestions on the part of our readers would be fought over much appreciated so do make full use of the comments section.
