A video surfaced of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann appearing before Sri Akal Takht Sahib after he had been summoned. During the proceedings, Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj had asked CM Mann to suggest two forensic laboratories for examining the authenticity of the video.
Note:- Old video when CM Mann was summoned at Sri Akal Takht Sahib.
Recently released Raakh joins a pattern that has settled into Indian content - Creative Rewriting in the name of Creative Liberty.
The 1978 Ranga-Billa case is dramatised on screen, but Inspector VP Gupta, who led the real investigation, is rewritten as SI Jayprakash Jatav, a Dalit officer battling caste prejudice in the force.
The pattern is not isolated.
Jai Bhim (2021) dramatised a real police torture case in which the brutal officer was Christian.
- The film recoded him on screen as a Hindu Vanniyar, with the community's sacred Agni Kundam symbol in the background.
- A legal notice eventually forced the filmmakers to blur it.
Soorarai Pottru, the 2020 film on Air Deccan founder Captain GR Gopinath, recast him on screen as a fierce Dravidian disciple of Periyar.
- Gopinath himself comes from an Iyengar background.
- The achievement on screen was real. The identity attached to it had been switched.
IC 814 kept the hijackers' onboard codenames Bhola and Shankar foregrounded on screen.
- The men's real Pakistani names — Ibrahim Athar, Shahid Akhtar Sayeed, Sunny Ahmed Qazi — barely featured.
Traditional creative liberty compresses time, combines minor figures, invents dialogue.
What is emerging is different. The identity of a real person is swapped to attach a political narrative to their story.
For most viewers, the screen version replaces the historical record.
@CranksCorner in @SwarajyaMag with writes how cinematic shortcut crosses into ideological rewriting, and why the line is worth holding even when the individual films are well-made.

"कॉकरोच किसने कहा?
सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने उन वकीलों को कहा जो फर्जी डिग्री लेकर आते हैं, वकालत चलती नहीं तो एक्टिविज्म या नेतागिरी करने लगते हैं.. लेकिन इन्होंने इसे ऐसे पेश किया, जैसे मोदी सरकार ने देश के सभी युवाओं को "कॉकरोच" कह दिया हो।"

True Events..?? 😂😂
Investigator V.P. Gupta became J.P. Jatav.
Killers Kuljeet & Jasbir Singh, shown as Babu & Rajjo( Sikh to Hindus ), while the rescuer Babulal is renamed Salim..
Same old Bollywood formula, hijack the real story..give 0F Abt actual heroes & defame Hindus/UCs
The absolute disrespect to the memory of the real victims and the actual investigators who brought those monsters to justice is staggering. Exploiting a highly sensitive case for narrative-spinning is the lowest form of filmmaking. Who gave them the right to do this? Shame on them.
What is Creative Liberty? Creative Liberty is when you show Bhola and Shankar as hijackers of IC 814.
What is Propaganda? When you show Zahoor Mistry as the hijacker of IC 814.
So what is reality? Zahoor Mistry was the hijacker of IC 814.
Dhurandhar showed reality and it was termed as propaganda. But these deliberate changing of identity of people who were actually involved is not propaganda, it is creative liberty.
Bollywood will replace Yadav culprits with Brahmins (Article 15) and Hindu Policemen with Dalits and Muslims (Raakh) and then call Dhurandhar as propaganda 🙃 What they do to target Hindus and drive a wedge among them is propaganda!!
@CricketCentrl@IAmSudhirMishra I don't like Greg Chapell but he is saying the truth. Its hard to watch cricket, its a mockery. Watch older games when likes of Tendulkar used to play. Cricket was evenly balanced b/w bat & bowl. Today's condition for batting make 90's look hostile
Finally, I met one of the cockroaches, Rishabh, who was there at Jantar Mantar on that fateful day. Still in a protest mode.
"Ye kya mazaak tha, guru. This was your big day. So what went wrong," I asked.
"Everything and nothing," he said. "Also don't make fun of the issue. The anger among the youth is real, sir. You have no idea how real. We are a generation that has been betrayed. Tell me, what is left for the youth except to come out on the street?"
"And yet so few of you turned up. Some of them looked more grandparents than Gen Z."
"That is the tragedy. The feeling was there. The numbers were there, somewhere. We are millions, sir, more than 22 million. You cannot finish us. You have tried."
"Then where were the millions?"
He looked at me with the patience of an elder explaining the obvious to a child.
Timing, sir, timing. Timing is everything."
"What was wrong with the timing."
"Din mein kaun cockroach nikalta hai! Jaan bach gayi yehi bahut hai," he said, fixing his antennae and scurrying back to a crack in Kutty's Masala Dosa stall.
