J. Sai Deepak Joins The CJP Protest Debate
While the government may be factually correct on issues, repeated exam leaks and lack of timely communication have created a negative perception. Social media criticism does not necessarily mean support for violence, but some people may be influenced or misled: @jsaideepak speaks to @roypranesh
"Ms. Girija Tickoo, a Kashmiri Pandit teacher in a government school in Kupwara district was coming out of the school building after collecting her salary when she was accosted by gunmen who kidnapped her to some unknown place where she was gang raped. The assailants, fearing she might disclose their identity, forcibly put her under a machine saw and cut her body into pieces.
Avtar Krishan Koul, Deputy Director Food Supplies was gunned down by masked terrorists in his office. He had enquired into the disappearance of some truckloads of food grain supplies reportedly taken away by JKLF activists at gun point.
Lassa Kaul, Director Doordarshan (Television) Srinagar was gunned down outside his house in Bhan Mohalla. He was accused of relaying anti-militancy news.
Pandit Premnath Bhat of Anantnag was a lawyer by profession and a very popular social figure much liked by people of all communities. Masked Jihadis barged into his house, dragged him out and emptied on him their magazines of their guns.
Professor Nilakanth Raina (Lala) of Jammu and Kashmir Government Higher Education Department, an eminent historian and researcher was called by masked and armed gunmen at about dusk at his home in Fateh Kadal locality in Srinagar and gunned down at point blank range. Professor Nilakanth was conducting researches into the Buddhist antiquity of Jam’a Masjid mosque in Nowhatta, Srinagar.
In November 1989, Sheela Tikoo was gunned down near Habba Kadal.
On 4th of March, 1990, Mrs. M.N Paul, the wife of an Inspector of BSF was kidnapped, raped and then murdered because she happened to be the wife of a government official.
Also in March 1990, B.K. Ganjoo, an engineer in Telecommunication Department was brutally gunned down while he tried to hide himself in an empty drum used for storing rice. The assailants climbed the third floor of his house to catch hold of him. His wife begged the murderers to kill her too but only to receive the sadist remark, "there should be someone left to cry over his dead body".
In April 1990, a nurse named Sarla Bhat was kidnapped and continuously raped for several days before her dead body was thrown on the roadside.
In May 1990, Mrs. Prana Ganjoo and her husband Prof. K.L. Ganjoo were kidnapped in Sopore where the woman was raped and then both of them were murdered.
In June 1990, Mrs. J.L. Ganjoo, her husband and her sister-in-law (husband's sister) were killed in their home in Ban Mohalla, Srinagar.
In July 1990, a working woman, namely Teja Dhar was shot dead on the roadside in Ali Kadal, Srinagar.
In July 1990, a Pandit lady named Nanaji was gunned down on the roadside in Batamaloo, Srinagar.
In July 1990, Dr. Shani was locked up in her house in Karan Nagar and then the house was set on fire. Flames consumed her alive.
In August 1990, Babli Raina was raped in front of her family members in her house and then shot dead.
One particular case which literally butchered the tradition of tolerance and communal harmony as well as the tradition of humanism in the Valley of Kashmir happened on 30th of April 1990, when four armed persons forced entry into the house of Sarwanand Koul Premi in Anantnag district. They dragged him out of his house along with Virender Koul, his 27-year old son for 'enquiry' and in the nearby jungle, the father and son both were gunned down. Sarwanand Koul, a poet and scholar, was 64 years of age and had translated the Bhagwat Gita into Kashmiri. A copy of the Quran was preserved in his house which he used to read occasionally".
…And many many more untold killings, rapes and destruction.
Of course, Jagmohan did all this by himself.
I watched Dhurandhar on the second day of its release. The universal appreciation, the audience support and the box office collections show that it is an amazing movie.
But I am not here to talk about its technical quality and its general awesomeness. Many others better than me have done that. And I will not denigrate this movie by comparing it to Pathaan and Jawaan, but I will leave those cinematic perspectives to others.
I am here to reflect on why Dhurandhar is a very important movie, not from a cinematic standpoint but in some way, our history.
Over the last thousand years, there have been massive changes in the way how people have consumed history. People used to rely on bards telling stories, poetic recollections, passing thru word of mouth etc etc. Then when printing press was invented, it moved to the written medium. Then it was thru photographs and finally due to technological advancement, moving images.
And in the last 70 odd years, movies have become a very important source on communicating or learning history.
It was thru movies that most of us were convinced that USA WW2. Movies made us believe that certain emperors were benevolent and movies even made us think that a certain star accused of terrorism, was actually the nicest man in the universe, but was caught in a wrong circumstance with an AK 47.
Movies play a critical role in shaping perspectives, creating impressions and in some way, tell people the truth in a way they remember.
Unfortunately, there has not been a single movie that has clearly highlighted the biggest threat that India has fought and faced over the last 80 years.
Pakistan state sponsored terrorism.
Until Dhurandhar.
The hindi movie industry has dealt with Pakistan in extremes.
Either it is the "They are our long lost brothers and all they want is peace and a nice glass of Rooh Af Zaah" type of movies like Main Hoon Na, Pathaan, Tiger etc.
Or the hyper nationalistic, ultra jingoistic chest beating type of movies where one guy repels an entire Pakistani army with a non working hand pump. Or keeps running 2 kms in snow and rips out an entire battalion after being shot in the head.
There was nothing in between.
We have never had a movie which shows Pakistani terrorism in a cold, matter of fact manner that makes us understand its gravity.
We have never had a movie, which clearly lays out the extent of the efforts, planning and execution that our neighbours do to destabilize us.
We have never had a movie, where the real incidents have been shown in a gripping and an easy to understand manner that made us all realize their actual extent.
We have never had a movie which has made people read and discuss about the Pakistani terrorist machine in a dispassionate manner.
Dhurandhar does that.
It makes us read about how Pakistani army used the underworld to fuel its terror machine. It makes us explore how they tried to weaken the foundations of our economy thru a rain of fake notes.
It shows all the terrorist attacks on India in a matter of fact manner that makes us realize terrorism and Pakistani state policy are two sides of the same coin.
What it also does brilliantly, is connect the dots.
Most of the things shown in the movie existed have been around in the media, on websites, blogs etc for a long time, but nobody connected the dots in such a way that we realize that it all part of one Grand design.
It showed us the entire macabre canvas of Pakistani terror.
But the real standout moment for me was how they showed the 26/11 attacks.
Till date no movie has captured the horror of that day like Dhurandhar did.
For many of us, that day was where we felt most vulnerable as Indians. That was the day we realized that anybody could simply waltz in and hit us where we thought we were safe and the govt could do nothing.
That attack was done with the express intention to bring us to our knees and I think they almost succeeded.
Dhurandhar shows that in a calm, cool and a calculated manner.
It doesn't get emotional, it doesn't get carried away and sticks to what actually happened.
And this makes it very powerful.
Because it makes us introspect.
When the other side celebrates the deaths of innocent Indians, it makes us angry.
When their leaders calmly direct their indoctrinated minions to continue the bloodbath of innocents, we clench our fists.
It reignites the same emotions that we all felt on that fateful day.
And in case we didn't get stirred, the showing of actual transcripts on screen ensured we understood the reality and the grisliness of that day. And the cold heartedness of our neighbours
That one scene 3D prints and saves the image of the real Pakistan for posterity. It shows the world who they really are.
And It makes us resolve, that never again will we tolerate something like this.
To sum it up, from a narrative perspective, Pakistanis have gone to great lengths to pretend that they have had nothing to do with terrorism and they are as much victims as we are. They even keep letting loose the same 15 Pakistanis who speak English, to regurgitate those lies
Dhurandhar has clearly and factually demolished that narrative.
By keeping the movie calm, grounded, realistic and refraining from any jingoism or name calling, Dhurandhar for the first time, showed to the world, the real grisly image of Pakistani state sponsored terrorism.
And if left unchecked, can become a threat to the world.
It will provoke people to read and understand the reality of Pakistan.
Forget the box office numbers and rave reviews, I think this is probably Dhurandhar's biggest success.
P:S: Personally, I felt this could have and should have been our Munich, but somewhere I felt it was a little short. But then there is Part 2 to come. Maybe we will get there.

'Good deal hunting' - an all new @metamayur scanner.
Named it to rhyme with 'Goodwill Hunting' :)
When fishermen cannot go to sea, they repair nets. When the sea is too rough to sail, the smart ones don't wait- they wait for the moment the storm breaks. Because even in stillness, they progress.
