How Bengali media & Mamata govt are misleading & destroying Bengal

In one of my previous article I revealed how ‘Mamata is building a New Bengal under Modi’s New India’. I stated how the Bengal Govt is officially supporting, sponsoring and encouraging Islamic fundamentalists in the name of minority empowerment. Some people will call it ‘minority appeasement’ but what is happening in Bengal under the Mamata Govt is more evil, sinister and draconian than appeasement.

And what makes it more dangerously evil is the deliberate support of a leading Bengali News channel and its corresponding newspaper. Whether it is covering up scams of TMC govt or whether it is atrocities on Bengali Hindu community, the channel has adopted a policy of ‘zero coverage’ on it. Before I go on to suggest some examples of their misdeed one should know the difference of Bengal mainstream media with National media. Lutyen elites feel Modi and Amit Shah is controlling National media. Their allegations are baseless and don’t have any solid proof to indicate such thing. Combining Hindi and English there are more than 15 MSM channels. With such diversity and stiff competition among channels no two channels can have same pattern of reporting and news programs. Often you can see serious criticism of Govt which I feel is required to some extent. Some even masquerading as journalists and Media people spread fake news to show the govt in bad light. Other than social media outrage I haven’t seen any strong rebuttal by the Central Govt. So the main point being the narrative is not controlled by any single media outlet. With various diverse options it is ultimately the viewers that decide what they feel like hearing & reading.

On the other hand the narrative and perception is hegemonically controlled by only one media group in Bengal. For mainstream visual media it is ABP Ananda, Bengali newspaper- AnandaBazar Patrika and English Newspaper- The Telegraph. All from same organisation. If one just follows and reads them for even one week; one would come to know their evil designs of subduing facts as per their convenience. The Bengalees don’t have such diverse options like other states particularly when it comes visual media. This amalgamation of Jihadi mindset of TMC govt and left liberal Bengali media who are hell bent to keep BJP out of Bengal at any cost are doing all kind of dirty tricks no matter what is its consequence. It is not just confined to one front. It covers every aspect which can influence the thinking of Bengalees.

1. Covering up of Radical Islamic violence and crimes: You would be surprised to hear that more than half of Bengal and in particular rural Bengal are uninformed about Malda and Dhulagarh riots. They don’t know how Islamic fundamentalists stopped school children from celebrating Saraswati Pujo in their own school in Tehatta. The Bengali media and in particular ABP Ananda have constantly turned a deaf ear to Muslim inflicted violence. Their logic is peculiar and laughable but at the same time for any Bengali Hindu who knows the ground situation. It will make your blood boil. In one of the recent debates on Bashirhat which the channel was forced to take it up after huge national media coverage and magnitude of the violence one of Bengal BJP spokespersons reacted and I quote him: ‘This Islamic violence is going on from long time. Why you people in media did not cover Malda and Dhulagarh riots. You are doing a dis-service to the people of Bengal’.

This irked the star liberal editor of ABP Ananda, Suman De (who considers himself a messiah of flawed model of Secularism and tolerance in Bengal). In reply he said, “I m not going to follow your communal agenda. We will not show anything on our channel that hurts religious sentiments”. This hypocritical statement revealed his true colors. What he meant is his channel will not cover any Muslim inflicted violence. He has time to debate for full 2 hrs about Ram Navami procession calling it a violent celebration. He has time to discuss about Yogi’s UP and crisis of Tunday Kebabs but he turns a blind eye to the happenings in Bengal. The Bhadralok debate panel will not pay heed to rape and arsons that happened during Dhulagarh riots which is mentioned in NCW report. They will criticize and mock processions of Rath Yatra but will carefully ignore how Maulvis and Mosques are preparing ground for complete implementation of Sharia Law. 60 counselling centres are being opened for this sole purpose.

2. Covering Up of Scams of TMC and focusing on fake news: The recent expose by Times Now on TMC Commission Gate shows how Mamata Banerjee’s nephew Abhisek Banerjee benefited from fraud transactions. Abhishek Banerjee’s  company ‘Leaps and Bounds Private Limited’ received payments from a realtor called Raj Kishore Modi. Modi is under investigation for criminal activities including land grabbing and attempt to murder. Times Now claimed that they have documents regarding this. But local Bengali media has again ignored it. Forget about prime time debate this news was not even mentioned as a headline. The print media, Anandabazar Patrika mentioned this by giving it a complete twist. The headline was ‘New target after Bihar is Bengal’ and inside this it attributed one small paragraph highlighting the scam of Abhishek Banerjee. While they turned a blind eye to this, ABP Ananda conducted one hour debate on Amit Shah’s increase in assets illegally which turned out to be fake. This is same channel which banked on Sahara Birla diary to defame Modi govt. After SC rejected and humiliated Prashant Bhushan they still didn’t stop.

3. The Bengali Media converts Scheme of Central Govt into Mamata’s pilot project: One of the main reasons of Mamata’s strong position in Bengal is her rural popularity. According to National Food Security Act passed in Nov 2016 central govt under food welfare program says that it will cover 50 percent of urban and 75 percent of rural area. Under this Act, beneficiaries will get wheat at Rs 2/kg and rice at Rs 3/kg. Mamata cleverly turned this into one of her own state sponsored projects. Media created a lie that center deliberately stopped giving subsidized foodgrains and now state has to bear the cost. Same goes for Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna. Excellent and fast paced work has been going on particularly in Sunderban areas by the Road & Transport Ministry under Nitin Gadkari. But the local Adivasis living there are made to believe it is initiative of state govt. The media channel directly helps the state govt by asking questions to the local Adivasis such as ‘How do you feel about new roads constructed by state Govt? What are your suggestions to the state govt? Would you like to compliment them?’ Away from exposure to any media they are made to believe that stupendous work is being done for their upliftment by the Mamata Govt.

4. Media and Mamata falsely implicating BJP as anti Bengali by raking up cultural sentiments: This is where it gets ugly and more desperate. I can understand TMC’s compulsion to paint BJP as anti-Bengali but the problem starts when local media too starts propagating this lie. Durga Puja is the soul of Bengal. It is not merely a 5 day festival but the central theme of Bengal. After GST came into effect from July 1st, recent articles have cropped up in newspapers how cost of idol making has increased drastically. Debates have been conducted that Mamata was opposing GST so that it doesn’t effect Durga Pujo this coming September. Another lie. Let us analyse the materials required for making Durga idols-
Ganga mati- The basic material which gives the idol its shape is clay collected from banks of Ganga. There is no GST on that.
Next- the wooden framework comprising of bamboo pole- GST rate on such raw bamboos is 5%. Gradually the cost decreases when earlier it was taxed at around 15%.
Now comes the paint- GST rate is 18%. Previously the cumulative tax was around 18% to 22%. Asian paints has declared the effect of GST on paints as tax neutral.

So how does GST increase the prices of idol? If anything, it should decrease by 2 to 3%. This is nothing but a malicious propaganda of Bengali media to make BJP appear anti Bengali and anti Durga Pujo. But the same ABP Ananda doesn’t have the courage to do show on Kolkata HC’s verdict on Durga Visarjan ban on Vijay Dashami due to clash with Muharram last year which exposed the appeasement politics of Mamata Banerjee. Another fake propaganda being constantly circulated in local Bengali newspapers that BJP is against fish consumption a favorite dish of Bengalis.

The problem with Bengali media is that they would cherry pick false and baseless articles from Wire and Scroll and conduct a lengthy debate around it but will carefully ignore news about communal riots and scams in Bengal which are showed by National Media. Reason- They want to maintain communal harmony. So what if they have to cover up crimes of one particular community? So what if Saraswati Puja is not allowed in a school? So what if Durga Puja celebration is now a dream in Kanglapahari village in Birbhum district? But the flawed, malicious, obnoxious model of ‘Bhaichara’ and ‘secularism’ has to be maintained.

5. Bengali Media along with TMC are now out to muzzle voices on social media: Social media is the last standing pillar which comes in Mamata’s way of  handling media coverage. The TMC govt has decided to completely black out uncomfortable news that troubles them. Come 2018 and I don’t know if I as a common Bengali citizen would be able to express my views through such articles. Because in the next Assembly session, a bill is going to be introduced which says: any post on social media that TMC govt and administration feels as ‘incitement to violence’ would attract life imprisonment and a fine of Rs 30 Lakh! Already there has been FIR on Sudhir Chaudhary for covering Dhulagarh riots. FIR on times now and Republic on covering Basirhat. Times Now’s local reporter Tamal Chatterjee was recently hounded by police as his channel exposed Abhishek Banerjee. The attack on social media  comes after it was instrumental in exposing how her own MLA Dipendu Biswas was involved in Basirhat riots and how he along with Muslim Goons harassed young girls and forced police to pick up Hindu boys from home. This comes after social media created a storm and forced the Bengali media to take this issue up (initially they didn’t cover Basirhat incidents).

To decode it: the bill would suppress any social media posts about the Muslim inflicted violence which is now rampant in Bengal. Mamata even says that the police is being trained to keep a special eye on all forms of social media and any objectionable posts would instantly be dealt with. By objectionable she means ‘objectionable to one particular community’. This will be a reality. TMC has the numbers in the assembly and support of local media. What baffling is Bengali media which shouts about intolerance by Modi Govt and has supported thugs like Kanhaiya and co. and their vicious Shradhanjali program to Afzal Guru, now feels such law is a necessity. They have already started preparing grounds by maligning social media.

ABP Ananda is the NDTV of Bengal or in fact worse than that. Only difference is nowadays channels like NDTV  doesn’t control the narrative of national media nor does people prefer watching it. But in Bengal there is no alternative. Imagine the same type of propaganda being fed to viewers without any counter arguments and contrarian viewpoint from other channels and its negative effects. That is what is exactly happening here. Delibrate misinformation to malign one community or one brand of ideology.

Communal violence caused in Bengal in recent times is due to social media posts. A time may come in near future when no common Bengali Hindu will be left on social media to express their views. Whether it is the TMC govt, left liberal Bengali media or communist minded Bhadraloks, all are now working viciously with one motive. Motive to keep the flawed and evil model of Bengal Bhaichara and secularism alive. And  in the process they are ready to sacrifice the safety of Bengali Hindus. Its time for the BJP to counter this malicious propaganda of local media. They have to find a alternative way to tell the truth to the people of the every remotest village in Bengal. Until they can make people realize about the media lies it will be difficult to get a foothold in Bengal for them.

Why some media houses cannot be relied upon

“A hot mug of coffee waiting for being slurped eagerly, after the glass of water finds its way through the throat”. That’s how one may love to start his day while yawning from the bed. Surely, what follows next is the most important act, following a NEWS PAPER or the Television news, for any common man/woman. This mostly is true for most of the people like me, be they from a village, urban or city. Yes, this common act in the morning not only makes a person updated with the happenings around, but also mirrors a mindset of the society in which he or she lives. It also dictates the mindset of the person right at the start of his day. For example, going around with the society; respond to bring some change in him or the society if possible; or to even decide which people to support for the betterment of his own lifestyle and of society.

Now, think of something like a Will Smith’s movie (MIB) of having an extraterrestrial war, where the world is about to end, while the ordinary citizens of the world living in dark without a hint of what’s happening around. It’s true that some well-thought sci-fi movies (I am not speaking of time travel or even MIB now) are becoming facts with time. We are heading towards such an ignorant MIB sort of situation; only the extraterrestrial is replaced by the proxy war tabled by some politicians, goons, corruption, extortion, scandals, etc. And why is this situation? Because the news which we feed into our minds through various media resources, ensure that White remains Black or Black remains White. In Old days, there was a beautiful proverb which now has become a part of history like the extinction of dinosaurs “I know XYZ happened, I read it in the Newspaper”. Obviously, someone would argue that this is the situation from the last few decades; just people lived in the MIB sort of world for too long to get awakened.

In recent times we find same news with 4-5 different narratives. The media houses are playing the game of “Chinese whispers” with only 3 players in the game which is the News, Media house and Receivers (us). Media house being at the center of this hypothetical game and also in the actual scenario, ensure a guaranteed change in the message/news by the end of the line. One of the big reasons that newspapers have become factories for impeding the truth from the common people, is just for satisfying some political inclination to some elite groups (the deeper reason is kickbacks in many terms, terms left for reader’s imagination). Amidst of all such narratives, truth seems to prevail as the major sufferer.

This sort of blinding of the common people has gone too far in recent times. A press conference held by All India Congress Committee (AICC), Headquarters, where one media house was debarred (Republic news) from attending only reminds of a situation of Emergency faced by our country in 1975. All of this was done for just avoiding some tough questions which were to be put up by Republic reporters. So, why such drama if the court will bring out the truth anyway? Was it just to save some elite person, would be the open question left for readers to contemplate. If the common people do not know the facts and are just fed by false narratives of few, how can we bring him back from the fairy tale imaginary world? The imaginary problems of forcing Hindu religion, Hindi language, forced beef ban, Army goonies in Kashmir, #notinmyname, etc. are being forced into peoples mind to avoid any sort of unity among the Indian brotherhood. Another fallacy of media houses: selective targeting on some issues, which as per them would ensure a comeback of the weak non-credible and opportunistic opposition into power.

The nexus of some of the biased media is not just limited to within India, but an attempt is made to malign the Nations image even abroad. The only problem with our country is that country doesn’t have any credible opposition. Current opposition is making it worst not only by hurting religious sentiments of the majority of the country but also mongering fear within the minorities. These tactics would be counter-productive as the long suppressed corruption charges on them by using delay tactics are coming out, be it national Herald case, Bofors, Benami properties or even the recent IT raids by IT cell in Karnataka.

Finally, let us hope that the day will come when the proverb “I know XYZ happened, I read it in the Newspaper” again becomes common in a true sense.

Indians are dancing to China’s propaganda songs

Indians are dancing to China’s propaganda songs

Indian media is closely following China just like “Winnie the Pooh” chases honey. Although Pooh is now banned in China as it resembles China’s Supreme leader and communist party head Xi-Jinping, another absurd reason to ban something in China. Jokes apart, now it’s time for some serious stuff on India-China relationship and future of the relationship.

Let’s start with a bitter truth. If China starts a full-fledged war with India, India may lose or  defeat the giant. It’s a gamble for the communist party to play. The Chinese army is technologically superior to the Indian Army, their budget is more than 3 times that of India. But one thing is certain, if a war broke out, it will certainly destroy both the economies. China’s economy is 5 times that of India that means China will lose more than what India has. India is a “Young Country” whereas China is “not so young” these days, the average age of a Chinese is around 37 years. It would be easy for India to rebuild a war torn country as compared to China when the west will take India’s side.

Well, assume India-China don’t use nuclear stuff. That’s the problem with war, nothing is certain, we don’t know what kind of stand will China’s friend Pakistan will take, we don’t know how will America react, how will Japan, South-Korea will react. That’s why it is said, “Who knows what happens tomorrow, it’s a mystery”. War is not a child’s play that Chinese state run media is babbling continuously, Indians can only hope that people in power won’t be as stupid as the state run media journalists are. If they have a doubt over effects of a nuclear bomb on a country, they can ask Japan. India-China War is not a computer game, but real human lives at stake, Chinese leadership should act like an adult and not randomly call for a military conflict, over 2.5 billion lives at stakes here.

India-China ties turning sour due to Chinese Aggression over the disputed territory of Dhoklam.

Why is China so aggressive on Dhoklam issue? Is the Dhoklam area, which is covered in snow for almost 8 months in a year is important from the Chinese perspective to fight a war with India? Why Chinese Communist party and Chinese media is threatening India for a war? These are some important issues. There are several reasons for these:

  • The way India stand-up to Bhutan and supported Bhutan to face the Chinese aggression is making China more anxious in South-China sea dispute; India has been almost silent on the illegal Chinese man-made islands and its claim on SCS. It will encourage countries like Vietnam, Philippines, Japan, and South-Korea to raise a stand against China.
  •  America has been wary of China and its role in providing nuclear technology to its little brother “North-Korea” thus increasing instability in Korean Peninsula. America is trying to strengthen India to stand against China in Asia.
  • India has boycotted OBOR conference because of India’s sovereignty issue on CPEC.
  • Even a non-claimant Southeast Asian state such as Thailand is happy with India standing up to Chinese Hegemony, causing more trouble to China.
Hawkish  Chinese State-run Global Times calling for a War between India-China.

Indian media is dancing to the Communist Party Propaganda songs, want to know why? Because they either don’t know the Chinese propaganda tactics or they just ignore some basic facts.

  •  The People’s Republic of China had always believed in propaganda and they try to hide everything from the Chinese citizens, hide the truth about Tiananmen Square massacre by PLA. So you cannot blindly follow their propaganda, have a narrative.
  • PLA’s recently held 90th anniversary showcased its war machines in the parade. Every country was looking at China because of Dhoklam issue, why would communist party let the chance slip away to spread its so called military might and they were quite successful. Indian media took the bait and covered, analyzed it again and again. They deliberately made it a huge circus so that it can put psychological pressure on India and her people including Indian forces. Though PLA was looking very creepy.
  • China doesn’t have a military, as PLA place their loyalty to serve Communist party and not to the nation. Whereas Indian Army has loyalty to the Constitution and the country, unlike PLA.
  • Chinese military or PLA hasn’t fought a major war in few decades.
  • About 80% of the Chinese trade passes through Malacca Strait, India can choke it anytime it wants.

In the light of the above facts, what should India do? Should India be relaxed then? The obvious answer is NO because we must learn history’s bitter lessons of 1962 when Jawahar Laal Nehru was so drowned in India-China friendship that India faced with a humiliating defeat due to the surprise attack by Chinese Army and India lost Aksai Chin to the People’s Republic of China. India can do following things, though they must be critically analyzed.

  1. First of all, India needs to shrug off fear and stand firm to PLA, Indian citizens and government should boost the morale of the forces facing PLA at Dhoklam and other places.
  2. China proposed mediation in Kashmir conflict between India-Pakistan, India should raise the issue of Chinese human right abuses in Tibet and call for freedom of Tibet from Chinese oppression at various forums.
  3. India should scrap “One China Policy” as there are two China for the time being, i.e. The People’s Republic of China (Mainland China) and The Republic of China (Taiwan).
  4. Conduct naval exercises with USA- Japan, while maintaining a balance with Russia.
  5. Support Japan, South-Korea, and Vietnam on South-China Sea.
  6. Put pressure on North-Korea, it will further increase pressure on China.
  7. India should steadily increase its economic power as well as the military power to fight in future.
  8. Focus on ties with India’s neighborhood.

Looking at Chinese media and the articles written by State-run media and Indian media following them blindly, it’s unfortunate and childish.

China’s oppression of Muslims- The real threat to Islam

China’s oppression of Muslims- The real threat to Islam

America, Europe, India. If rabble-rousers in the Muslim world are to be believed, these are the biggest enemies of Islam. Extremists in Muslim countries, ranging from Iran to Pakistan to Egypt, often portray this triumvirate as oppressors of Muslims. They do this in order to whip up hysteria, build mass support for their own divisive agendas, and justify acts of terrorism.

Of course history and the current political situational provide a convenient context for this narrative of distrust and hatred, and that gets exploited to fullest. What is often overlooked is the fact that these are multicultural and pluralistic democracies where Muslims enjoy full freedom to practice their faith and express themselves. Yes there are social conflicts, but there is no existential threat to Islam and its way of life in these countries.

Under the Trump presidency, the US is going through a bit of a crisis with its multicultural identity. But this has made a lot of minorities feel insecure and not just Muslims. That still does not take away that the US has been a great host to Muslims for many years.

Across the US, Europe, and India, mosques and institutes of Islamic learning operate without restriction. In India, Muslim festivals are observed in all their spirit and many of them are public holidays. Muslim sensitivities are given due consideration, and some would argue, more than what is required. Ramzan is observed with all due respect and regard. Mosques are free to broadcast their daily prayers over loudspeakers. The government clears out major public spaces to make room for Eid prayers.

Madrassas are free to teach and universities like Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University are bastions of Islamic intellectual thought. Muslims in all these countries are productive members of society, contributing to it and enriching it in many ways, across all walks of life.

The fundamentalist rabble-rouser chooses to ignore these ground realities and paints a grim picture of Islam being under siege, exploiting the social divisions in these multicultural societies and using the sporadic instances of conflict to exhort the faithful to rise in jihad against these countries and restore Muslim pride.

And who are the Muslim countries, especially Pakistan, allying with in this quest to restore Muslim pride? On the face of it, China the emerging giant in geopolitics is precisely the kind of power the Muslim world needs on its side. It has something to offer to everyone. Weapons with no strings attached, cheap mobile phones, massive investment in infrastructure, and a UN Security Council veto are all the perks that can be had from a close relationship with China.

History is replete with instances of nations with diametrically opposing values and viewpoints allying against a common enemy. Capitalist America and Communist Soviet Union fought alongside in the war against Nazi Germany, only to fall out to become the bitterest rivals once the common enemy was defeated.

Unlike the US with its deep involvement in the conflicts of the Middle East and India’s close historical links to Islam, China comes with little baggage. The common people of countries like Pakistan therefore have little direct exposure to the Chinese way of life.

Of all the major countries in the world, China is the most repressive towards Islam. Unbeknownst to many, China quietly and silently works towards suppressing the voice of its small Muslim minority. Because it is a totalitarian society, unlike the US and India, it is able to keep this oppression under the radar with no human rights groups and liberal intellectuals rising in protest and highlighting the atrocities. In addition, the world community is also inexplicably silent on the matter. Islamic fundamentalists who rail against perceived injustices against Muslims in democratic countries are completely silent when it comes to China.

What China is doing to the Muslim Uighurs in Xinjiang province, pales in comparison to anything Israel might be doing to the Palestinians. For example, China has banned beards and veils in the province. They have put in place laws that actively discriminate against the Uighurs. In fact, the Uighur population growth has been controlled through various policies and incentives offered to the Hans. Contrast this with India’s firm adherence to Article 370 that forbids non-Kashmiris from purchasing property in Kashmir.

In yet another act of selective violation of civil liberties, Muslims are now required to install surveillance apps on their phones. This allows authorities to monitor their online activity and watch out for any signs of dangerous behavior.

China has also banned Islamic names and instituted measures that make fasting virtually impossible during Ramadan. All these actions are pointers to China’s deep discomfort with Islam.

Pakistan is not merely looking the other way in the face of this oppression of Muslims. It is actively in bed with China. It is sad that enmity and mistrust of India, a country with which Pakistan shares deep cultural affinity and shared roots, drives Pakistan to maintain very close ties with China, a country that abhors Islam, a pillar of its foundation.

This is a grave injustice to its founding principles of Pakistan. After all, it is a nation that was created in the name of Islam. Islamic values are central to the country’s existence. It often regards itself as the defender of Islam, the owner of the largest army in the Muslim world and the sole Islamic nuclear power.

The whole world, especially the leading Muslim countries must take note of this systemic oppression. If they don’t raise their voice against it, a time will come when China will bring this oppression to their doorsteps. China is making deep inroads into Pakistan. It is already demanding special privileges and protections for its investments and citizens. The mistrust and “otherness” is amply evident. If its past conduct is an indication, as it strengthens its hold on Pakistan, it will inevitably start pushing back against Islamic ways and start enforcing its own values. That may bring some much-needed modernity to Pakistani society and economy, but at the very steep cost of the destruction of its centuries old culture and traditions.

An enemy’s enemy is a friend no doubt, but Pakistan would do well to determine where its real longer-term existential threat emanates from.

Mr Prime Minister needs to focus on Agriculture, Job creation and Women Safety and he will be 10/10

Mr Prime Minister needs to focus on Agriculture, Job creation and Women Safety and he will be 10/10

I am not a political analyst. I don’t look at politics the way these so called analysts look. But I have a very simple criteria to judge the performance of a government like the most of other Indians. It’s very simple. How much work they have done for the betterment of this country. It’s the same way my boss looks at my performance in a specific year when it comes to appraisal. So, I guess it’s the universal way to judge the performance of anybody whether it’s an individual or a government. Mr. Narendra Modi took charge as India’s PM on May, 2014. He came to power with so many expectations. Under UPA India had seen very bad days. If I am not exaggerating it, India had seen her worst days under Dr Manmohan Singh. Indians had lost hope and its very dangerous for any nation. Without hope there is no point of existing.

Recent victory in Uttar Pradesh is enough to tell us, that Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains India’s most popular political leader. Many controversies took place in the last 3 years but they were bound to happen. The ideology of BJP makes them vulnerable. Saffron gangs, cow vigilantes, and many other small groups are creating problems for this government. Next elections are in 2019 and we don’t have anyone else who can stand against the juggernaut of Mr. Modi. And I do think he deserves a second term. This government has done so many great under his leadership and that’s why 73% Indians showed faith in this government (according to a recent survey by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the global polling giant Gallup). India topped the global list of citizens’ confidence in governments based on a Forbes Report. Lets talk about the positive and negative of this government.

Transportation on almost every channel (road, train, air) has improved. But NDA couldn’t control the rail accidents.

Power sector is doing good so far. UDAY scheme is just doing fantastic. I didn’t know before that this many villages were not electrified. Congress had screwed India in the last 6 decades.

Swachh Bharat has been the best initiative by this government according to me. NDA is trying hard to eliminate the open defecation and its very commendable.

Foreign policy has been great so far. Trip to Israel was a bold step. Not just with Europe or USA, but Modi has been really wonderful with our small neighbours like Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh too. One thing which has gone bad is the relationship with China and Pakistan despite Modi’s trip to both countries. The relationship with one of our oldest friends Russia, is also in doldrums.

Agriculture is the most important and close to my heart sector, as I belongs to Haryana. Conditions of farmers haven’t improved in last 3 years or so. Decline in wholesale prices of vegetables and pulses has dented farm incomes. I am not a huge fan of waiving loans, which looks like a trend in India. A loan waiver in Uttar Pradesh led to a moral hazard problem and delay in repayment of loans in other states. Acute drought in southern states led to a spike in farm suicides. I work as a data scientist but I know one thing, no point of talking about big technology firms and space missions if we can’t solve the basic problems of our food provider, the farmers. Anybody in India can tell why farmers commit suicide but still no-one has done anything to stop this curse. That’s the one sector I am very disappointed in with this government.

NDA has neglected the forest and wildlife sectors. Decisions are pending on a national forest policy, definition of forests, inviolate forest areas and a national wildlife action plan. And Ganga clean-up (Namami Gange) is yet to gather momentum.

Demonetization has been revolutionary reform for our country but nothing done so far when it comes to black money stashed abroad. The deficit has been trimmed, subsidies have been rationalized and better directed which have helped to make money work better. Tax reforms are epitomized by the GST. Great step.

Job creation is one area where the Narendra Modi government has not fared according to expectations. Against the Modi government’s promise to create 1 crore jobs every year, labour bureau records presents a dismal picture. In the last three years about 5 lakh jobs were created, which is a cause of worry. But, the Narendra Modi government may sit satisfied especially when the opposition is reeling under sustained political pressure from the BJP, which is functioning like an election winning machine. This is a worry because growth without employment is not good for a country which prides itself on a demographic dividend.

The external environment has been favourable in terms of oil prices which have led to a comfortable current account deficit. This has helped to stabilize the rupee with the Indian currency becoming one of the best performing ones. With foreign investment flows being very active, notwithstanding moderation in FPI, the forex reserves have crossed the $ 375 billion mark.

There are problems within the NDA: the Peoples Democratic Party (Jammu and Kashmir), Shiv Sena (Maharashtra) are not good people to work with. They haven’t contribute anything to NDA other than few MLAs and negative publicity. Shiv Sena is nothing more than a group of hooligans and PDP, they just want to be in power and nothing else. They don’t care about Kashmir at all.

In the end, I want to say that Mr. Modi need to focus more on Agriculture, Job creation and Women safety. If he can improve these three things, trust me even his worst enemies will appreciate and will vouch for him in upcoming elections. Otherwise winning 2019 doesn’t look like a big issue because  there is no body in opposition.

Why row Vande Mataram now when no Muslim had any objection when it was accepted as national song?

Why row Vande Mataram now when no Muslim had any objection when it was accepted as national song?

Vande Mataram, written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyaya was unanimously accepted as the national song on 24th January 1950 by the Constituent Assembly. There was not an iota of protest from any corner of constituent assembly against it’s acceptance as a national song.

The Muslim and Hindu leaders of that time, who were actually secular; not by profile but by character had no problem with this song. The song has a special resemblance to the Indian Freedom Fight as when the infamous viceroy Lord Curzon divided Bengal in 1905 ostensibly to wedge a communal gap, Vande Mataram had become an epitome of unity and was sung by Hindus and Muslims alike to prove the extent of their cohesiveness. There was nothing communal in the song then, there is nothing communal in the song now.

Some people, who say that Vande Mataram goes against the tenants of Islam are the ignorant species of the highest order. Vande Matram exemplifies the spirit of patriotism towards one’s country and Islam also teaches the same; to love the land and soil where you live. Vande Mataram, as a part of morning assembly is sung in many schools. I have done my entire studies from D.A.V Public School, where the national song is sung in morning assembly and everybody, including Muslim teachers and students sing the song with full enthusiasm. Does the issuance of fatwa by some people saying that chanting of “Vande Mataram” is un-Islamic therefore invalidates the religion of my friends and schoolmates who sung the national song?

These people boast about the freedom of religion guaranteed to them under Fundamental Rights. But, as Indians, don’t they have equal responsibility towards their fundamental duties too? Article 51-A (b) of the Fundamental duty, as inserted in the 42nd amendment of the Constitution (apparently the same amendment when the word secular was added to the preamble) says, “It shall be the duty of every citizen to cherish and follow the noble ideas that inspired our national struggle for freedom”. Vande Mataram was one of the songs that inspired our struggle for freedom as I quoted above when it became a revolutionary song during the Swadeshi movement during Bengal partition. The people who issue Fatwa denigrate the status of a “National Song” by giving it a religious colour. They also virtually intimidate the normal people who have no issues in chanting Vande Mataram by issuing threats of “social boycott”against them.

There are some issues that should be kept above religion,caste, creed, costume, custom, culture. Religion is a private affair between a person’s conscience and his god. Praising the nation won’t invite any ire from the god. God is not intolerant like us, he is sacrosanct and receptive. Religious leaders, rather than dictating their preferences on the followers should take steps for social harmony and cohesion.

आजादी आपनी सोच में लायें

भारत हर साल 15 अगस्त को अपना स्वतंत्रता दिवस मनाता है।
यह दिन जहां हमारे आजाद होने की खुशी लेकर आता है वहीं इसमें भारत के खण्ड खण्ड होने का दर्द भी छिपा होता है।

वक्त के गुजरे पन्नों में भारत से ज्यादा गौरवशाली इतिहास किसी भी देश का नहीं हुआ।
लेकिन भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप से ज्यादा सांस्कृतिक राजनैतिक सामरिक और आर्थिक हमले भी इतिहास में शायद किसी देश पर नहीं हुए।
और कदाचित किसी देश के इतिहास के साथ इतना अन्याय भी कहीं नहीं हुआ।वो देश जिसे इतिहास में ‘विश्व गुरु’ के नाम से जाना जाता हो, उस देश के प्रधानमंत्री को आज “मेक इन इंडिया” की शुरूआत करनी पड़रही है।

‘सोने की चिड़िया’ जैसे नाम जिस देश को कभी दिया गया हो, उसका स्थान आज विश्व के विकासशील देशों में है।
शायद हमारा वैभव और हमारी समृद्धि की कीर्ति ही हमारे पतन का कारण भी बनी।
भारत के ज्ञान और सम्पदा के चुम्बकीय आकर्षण से विदेशी आक्रमणता लूट के इरादे से इस ओर आकर्षित हुए।
वे आते गए और हमें लूटते गए।

हर आक्रमण के साथ चेहरे बदलते गए लेकिन उनके इरादे वो ही रहे
वो मुठ्ठी भर होते हुए भी हम पर हावी होते गए
हम वीर होते हुए भी पराजित होते गए
क्योंकि हम युद्ध कौशल से जीतने की कोशिश करते रहे
और वे जयचंदों के छल से हम पर विजय प्राप्त करते रहे

हम युद्ध भी ईमानदारी से लड़ते थे और वे किसी भी नियम को नहीं मानते थे
इतिहास गवाह है, हम दुशमनों से ज्यादा अपनों से हारे हैं शायद इसीलिए किसी ने कहा है,
“हमें तो अपनों ने लूटा, ग़ैरों में कहाँ दम था,
हमारी कश्ती वहाँ डूबी जहाँ पानी कम था”

जो देश अपने खुद की गलतियों से नहीं सीखा पाता वो स्वयं इतिहास बन जाता है
हमें भी शायद अपनी इसी भूल की सज़ा मिली जो हमारी वृहद सीमाएं आज इतिहास बन चुकी हैं।
वो देश जिसकी सीमाएं उत्तर में हिमालय दक्षिण में हिन्द महासागर पूर्व में इंडोनेशिया और पश्चिम में ईरान तक फैली थीं ,आज सिमट कर रह गईं और इस खंडित भारत को हम आजाद भारत कहने के लिए विवश हैं।

अखंड भारत का स्वप्न सर्वप्रथम आचार्य चाणक्य ने देखा था और काफी हद तक चन्द्रगुप्त के साथ मिलकर इसे यथार्थ में बदला भी था। तब से लेकर लगभग 700 ईसवी तक भारत ने इतिहास का स्वर्णिम काल अपने नाम किया था।
लेकिन 712 ईस्वी में सिंध पर पहला अरब आक्रमण हुआ फिर 1001 ईस्वी से महमूद गजनी, चंगेज खान,अलाउद्दीन खिलजी, मुहम्मद तुगलक ,तैमूरलंग , बाबर और उसके वंशजों द्वारा भारत पर लगातार हमले और अत्याचार हुए।

1612 ईस्वी में जहाँगीर ने अंग्रेजों को भारत में व्यापार करने की इजाज़त दी।
यहाँ इतिहास ने एक करवट ली और व्यापार के बहाने अंग्रेजों ने पूरे भारत पर अपना साम्राज्य स्थापित कर लिया।
लेकिन इतने विशाल देश पर नियंत्रण रखना इतना आसान भी नहीं था यह बात उन्हें समझ में आई 1857 की क्रांति से ।
इसलिए उन्होंने “फूट डालो और राज करो” की नीति अपनाते हुए धीरे धीरे भारत को तोड़ना शुरू किया।

1857 से 1947 के बीच अंग्रेजों ने भारत को सात बार तोड़ा।
1876 में अफगानिस्तान
1904 में नेपाल
1906 में भूटान
1914 में तिब्बत
1935 में श्रीलंका
1937 में म्यांमार
1947 में बांग्लादेश और पाकिस्तान

लेकिन हम भारतवासी अंग्रेजों की इस कुटिलता को नहीं समझ पाए कि उन्होंने हमारे देश की भौगोलिक सीमाओं को ही नहीं तोड़ा, बल्कि हमारे समाज, हमारी भारतीयता, इस देश की आत्मा को भी खण्डित कर गए।
जाते जाते वे इस बात के बीज बो गए कि भविष्य में भी भारत कभी एक न रह पाए।बहुत ही चालाकी से वे हिन्दू समाज को जाती क्षेत्र और दल के आधार पर जड़मूल तक विभाजित कर गए।

जरा सोचिए कि क्यों जब हमसे आज हमारा परिचय पूछा जाता है तो हमारा परिचय ब्राह्मण बनिया ठाकुर मराठी कायस्थ दलित कुछ भी हो सकता है लेकिन भारतीय नहीं होता?
अंग्रेजों के इस बीज को खाद और पानी दिया हमारे नेताओं ने जो देश के विकास की नहीं वोट बैंक की राजनीति करते आ रहे हैं।
जब इक्कीसवीं सदी के इस ऊपर से, एक किन्तु भीतर ही भीतर विभाजित भारत की यह तस्वीर अंग्रेज देखते होंगे तो मन ही मन अपनी विजय पर गर्व महसूस करते होंगे।

हम भारत के लोग 15 अगस्त को किस बात का जश्न मनाते हैं?
आजादी का?
लेकिन सोचो कि हम आजाद कहाँ हैं?

हमारी सोच आज भी गुलाम है!
हम गुलाम हैं अंग्रेजी सभ्यता के जिसका अन्धानुकरण हमारी युवा पीढ़ी कर रही है।
हम गुलाम हैं उन जातियों के जिन्होंने हमें आपस में बाँटा हुआ है और हमें एक नहीं होने देती ।
हम गुलाम हैं अपनी सरकार की उन नीतियों की जो इस देश के नागरिक को उसके धर्म और जाति के आधार पर आंकती हैं उसकी योग्यता के आधार पर नहीं

हम गुलाम हैं उस तथाकथित धर्मनिरपेक्षता के जिसने हमें बाँटा हुआ है धर्म के नाम पर
हम गुलाम हैं हर उस सोच के जो हमारे समाज को तोड़ती है और हमें एक नहीं होने देती।
हम आज भी गुलाम हैं अपने निज स्वार्थों के जो देश हित से पहले आते हैं।
अगर हमें वाकई में आजादी चाहिए तो सबसे पहले अपनी उस सोच अपने अहम से हमें आजाद होना होगा जो हमें अपनी पहचान “केवल भारतीय” होने से रोक देती है।
हमें आजाद होना पड़ेगा उन स्वार्थों से जो देश हित में रुकावट बनती हैं।

अब वक्त आ गया है कि हम अपनी आजादी को भौगोलिक अथवा राजनैतिक दृष्टि तक सीमित न रखें।
हम अपनी आज़ादी अपनी सोच में लाएँ । जो सोच और जो भौगोलिक सीमाएं हमें अंग्रेज दे गए हैं उनसे बाहर निकलें।
विश्व इतिहास से सीखें कि जब जर्मनी का एकीकरण हो सकता है, जब बर्लिन की दीवार गिराई जा सकती है, जब इटली का एकीकरण हो सकता है, तो भारत का क्यों नहीं?
चन्द्रशेखर आजाद भगतसिंह सुखदेव महारानी लक्ष्मीबाई मंगल पांडे रामप्रसाद बिस्मिल सुभाष चंद्र बोस अश्फाकउल्लाह खान ने अपनी जान अखंड भारत के लिए न्योछावर की थी खण्डित भारत के लिए नहीं।

जिस दिन हम भारत को उसकी खोई हुई अखंडता लौटा देंगे उस दिन हमारी ओर से हमारे वीरों को सच्चे श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित होगी।

Fatwas- The voice of intolerance

Fatwas- The voice of intolerance

Issuing fatwas has become fashionable nowadays. If a Mufti wants to gain some popularity, all he has to do is issue a fatwa against a popular celebrity like A.R Rahman. The TRP-hungry media news channels immediately go on a rampage of inviting political party spokespersons, journalists, religious leaders and commentators to debate on the fatwas. The media is good at making a mountain out of a molehill in such matters. In this way, the media is only fuelling the Muftis to attain exaggerated heights of popularity, instead of ignoring their fatwas, like how the individuals concerned also do.

According to a recent news article, a Mufti from an influential Muslim body in Bihar called Imarat-e-Shariya, issued a fatwa against the State Minority Affairs minister Khurshid Alam. This time the reason was that Khurshid Alam shouted “Jai Shri Ram” in the state assembly on 28 July 2017, the same day when the Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, won the trust vote. The fatwa says that Khurshid Alam has no place in the Muslim community and that his Nikah (marriage) has become null or void. While the minister has avoided and largely ignored the fatwa, the Mufti later on issued a statement saying that the fatwa was pronounced in a personal capacity. Why then, at all, issue a fatwa in the first place, if it is of no use at all to the public?

In Islam, a ‘fatwa’ is a non-binding statement or pronouncement by a qualified Islamic scholar (i.e. a Mufti) that is offered as an “expert’s opinion”. It need not be acted upon, however, it is usually taken as an expert’s opinion, resulting in it having more weight than a random opinion from any ordinary follower of Islam. Hence, in an ideal situation, the Mufti has an important responsibility of issuing meaningful fatwas that help the Muslim society to reform and change according to time and place. For example, in Indonesia, Islamic clerics issued a fatwa banning illegal hunting and wildlife trafficking. Such a fatwa, even though it is not legally binding, is progressive and has the possibility of enacting real change in a country with a majority of population being Muslims.

In a secular and democratic country like India, however, we have only witnessed a slew of silly fatwas issued by questionable Muftis, which have been of no help in bringing about reformation in Islam. While today we have many leftist liberals questioning the intolerance of Hindutva supporters, where are these liberals when such ridiculous fatwas are being issued? Why are they not questioning the intolerance of the Muftis in India? While many of these Muftis are clearly against secularism and democracy, why is there still appeasement politics being played by the politicians and the paid-media? What difference does it make in letting your religious opinion to be known to the public?

Issuing fatwas does not only indicate the height of intolerance amongst the Muslim clerics, it also exposes their blatant disregard for a person’s freedom of speech and expression. Fatwas restrict a person’s freedom of speech and expression and to a certain extent, it is even a violation of human rights. Najima Bibi, who was the first Muslim woman to contest the Manipur elections, has been issued many fatwas in her 15 years of working as an activist. She has been denied the use of a local village pond for drawing water and most recently, she has been denied a burial space. People associating with her and communicating with her have also been warned that they will face the same fatwa. Such non-binding “opinions” issued by the Maulvis can have potentially devastating consequences for Najima if she were not a strong-willed woman who largely ignored the fatwas issued against her.

Fatwas are not to be misconstrued and allowed to be continued as part of the “freedom to practice one’s religion” clause. What the fatwas are doing is that they are dividing this nation into believers and non-believers, just like how their Quran does. In June 2017, a congregation of Muslims in Tamil Nadu issued a fatwa against a woman’s father for approaching the High Court to obtain an interim stay on the Triple Talaq pronounced by her husband, citing that the father should not have approached the Kafirs (i.e. the High Court Judges) for matters relating to the Sharia. This fatwa blatantly denigrated the judiciary and the sanctity of the law. The divisive attitude, the “them-versus-us” mentality and the intolerance of the Muslim clerics, who dictate the Sharia, are largely the reasons why fatwas are unwelcome and not needed. The media should not be giving any publicity and unwanted attention to such Muftis.

To safeguard democracy; India needs a credible Opposition

“Doomed are the kingdoms who are ruled by ruthless benevolent dictators”. This phrase signifies the exact situation of democracy in India today. One side are the benevolent modern-day Chanakyas of the BJP stitching merciless plots and undermining every mandate of democracy to satisfy their greed for power. Other side is the crumbled grand old Indian National Congress which for long has harboured mini-dynasties and now looked upon as the flag-bearers of nepotism; lacking of proper courage and advice; struggling for its existence. What happened in Bihar is the worst murder of democracy so far and this can go on if the opposition is not brought to its senses and it crumbles more and more as is being witnessed now.

The megalomaniacs and 24×7 politicians of BJP-RSS  duo are giving sleepless nights to the opposition causing its slow and steady death. But it is really wrong and unworthy to blame the ruling party for the death of opposition. Darwin’s rule “Survival of the fittest” applies in each and every walk of life. Those who are fit will always survive. Those who cant protect themselves are bound to get extinct. Opposition of India; I think is more responsible for its own decline than any other thing. Since 2014; the issues which the opposition has raised are suicidal and with its stupidity and insecurities if it ceases to exist; opposition will be sole responsible to throw India at power hungry pack of wolves who know no boundaries.

India needs a credible opposition to counter all the ills and bads of the government and safeguard each and every voice of India so that democracy exists. Today’s Opposition is merely a pack of some insecure, stupid persons going on with their personal attacks at the centre and thus loosing their remaining mandate. Opposition needs to introspect itself; give up personal difference; and come together not for themselves but for the sake of democracy of India.

मधुर आपने निराश किया

मधुर आपने निराश किया

इसे इंदु सरकार का रिव्यु ही मानें। आपातकाल को लेकर मधुर की रिसर्च के लिए मधुर को 8/10। उसे परदे पर जीवित करने के लिए 5/10। विषय ये नहीं है कि आपने क्या दिखाया और क्या नहीं दिखा पाए, विषय ये है की आपने जो भी दिखाया उसे थोड़ा मन से दिखा देते। विवेक अग्निहोत्री के पास आप के जैसा नेशनल अवार्ड्स वाला गौरवशाली पास्ट नहीं है फिर भी उन्हें बुद्धा इन अ ट्रैफिक जैम में जो दिखाना था उन्होंने भरपूर दिखाया और एक फ्लो में दिखाया।

मैं तो यही कहूंगा कि मधुर जी आपने इंदु सरकार को बनाने में कंजूसी की है और पूरे दिल से नहीं बनाया। कंजूसी पैसे की भी और एडिटिंग की भी। एक नेशनल अवार्ड विनर डायरेक्टर से इससे बेहतर की उम्मीद करते हैं सर। बैकग्राउंड स्कोर बेहद औसत। ये आवाज़ है और चढ़ता सूरज अच्छे। जैसा कि बाकी रिव्यूज़ से आप सब समझ गए हैं कि इंदु सरकार एक स्त्री (कीर्ति कुल्हारी) की कहानी है जो नवीन सरकार (तोता रॉय चौधरी) की पत्नी हैं और नवीन एक आला सरकारी अधिकारी हैं जो संजय के एक ख़ास मंत्री के ख़ास हैं। देश में आपातकाल की घोषणा होती है और फिर कैसे नसबंदी, सुंदरीकरण आदि के नाम पर आम जनता पर अत्याचार प्रारम्भ होते हैं। कहानी में ज़्यादा न आते हुए ऊपर ऊपर बस इतना बता देता हूँ की फिल्म आपातकाल की आप बीती को अपने हृदय में समेटे है लेकिन एक आलोचक के नाते मैं कुछ बिंदु रेखांकित करना चाहूँगा जिन वजहों से फिल्म मुझे हल्की लगी।

सर्वप्रथम आपने फर्स्ट हाफ में जो प्लॉट बिल्ड करने का प्रयास किया है उसमें एडिटिंग की काफी संभावना है। कायदे से फिल्म २ घण्टे की बन सकती थी। सेकंड हाफ मजबूत है और श्रेय कीर्ति को जाता है। संजय के रोल में नील को सिर्फ वन लाइनर्स मिले हैं और कुछ पोस्चर गेस्चर लेकिन नील ने निभा लिया उसे। जगदीश टाइटलर वाली दाढ़ी वाले इंसान ने अपने किरदार को जीवंत किया है ये आप देख कर समझ जाएंगे। नवीन (तोता रॉय चौधरी) एक अच्छे अभिनेता हैं लेकिन कहीं कहीं ओवर एक्टिंग कर देते हैं। अनुपम सहज अभिनेता हैं उन्हें रेट करने की आवश्यकता नहीं। अब सवाल फिल्म मेकिंग को लेकर। आपातकाल के ही पृष्ठभूमि पर एक फिल्म बनी थी किस्सा कुर्सी का। उससे बेहतर पोलिटिकल सटायर मैंने हिंदी सिनेमा में तो नहीं देखा फिलहाल। कहीं पढ़ने को मिलता है कि इस फिल्म को बैन तो किया ही गया था साथ ही इसके प्रिंट्स गुड़गांव मारुती फैक्टरी में संजय ने स्वयं जलाये थे। आप अगर वो किस्सा नहीं जोड़ सकते थे तो भी उस फिल्म से कुछ अपने मतलब की चीज़ें तो ले ही सकते थे। खैर मैं फिल्ममेकिंग की बात कर रहा था। रह रह कर मुझे हज़ारों ख्वाहिशें ऐसी और ब्लैक फ्राइडे याद आती हैं। ब्लैक फ्राइडे इसलिए क्योंकि वो बोल्ड फिल्म मेकिंग का एक अद्वितीय उदाहरण है। और हज़ारों ख्वाहिशें ऐसी इसलिये क्योंकि वो मजबूत निर्देशन का एक बेहतरीन नमूना है।

इंदु सरकार के प्लस पॉइंट्स में एक कीर्ति का अभिनय दूसरा जगह जगह रेफ़्रेन्सेस और हिंट्स देना। लेकिन काश मधुर इसमें थोड़ा पैसा और मन और लगाते तो फिल्म को बहुत दिनों तक याद किया जाता। मधुर से शिकायत बस है कि जब वे एक संवेदनशील विषय पर फिल्म बना रहे हैं जिस पर पहले किसी ने ज़्यादा हिम्मत नहीं की है ज़्यादा तो सर ऐसे में आप या तो पूरी आर्टिस्टिक लिबर्टी लीजिए और सब कुछ साफ़ साफ़ दिखाइये नहीं तो अगर फिक्शन के ही इर्द गिर्द घूम के अपनी बात बतानी है तो फिर थोड़ा पैसा, मन, एनर्जी, इफेक्ट्स, शिद्दत, ताक़त, क्राफ्ट ज़्यादा झोंकिये न। मैं फिर एक बार ये कह दूं कि आपने कवर काफी कुछ कर लिया है फिर भी एक चीज़ जो मुझे खटकी वो थी क्वालिटी।

मिसाल के तौर पर आंधी भी कम बेसी इंदिरा की लाइफ पे आधारित थी लेकिन उस फिल्म को कल्ट बनाते हैं उसके गीत, बढ़िया निर्देशन, दमदार अभिनय। लेकिन मैं समझ सकता हूँ वो शायद आपके फिल्म बनाने का तरीका न हो लेकिन क्राफ्ट इम्प्रूव हो सकता है। मैं इंदु को कीर्ति के बेहतरीन अभिनय के लिए और मधुर के थोड़ी हिम्मत दिखाने के लिए 2.5 स्टार देता हूँ। कुछ संवाद इंडिरेक्टली प्रेजेंट गवर्नमेंट की तरफ भी इशारा करती हैं लेकिन फर्स्ट हाफ यदि थोड़ा बंधा हुआ होता तो फिल्म में थोड़ा मज़ा और आता। ओवरऑल आप लोग ये फिल्म देखें और थोड़ा सा आपातकाल को समझें।
