Yes, Vagabond is Awaara. Sri 420 is also a vagabond who could be booked as per Section 420 of the Criminal Act. In general Raj Kapoor was imitating Charlie Chaplin. Stalin's successors thought since they could not show pictures of CC, they would show an imitation. The entertainment deprived Russian masses fell for it. The songs had catchy tunes which I am unable to deprogram.
