@_amitbehere@_amitbehere Root cause : “Sāre jahāṉ se acchā, Hindositāṉ , hamārā
Ham bulbuleṉ haiṉ is kī, yih gulsitāṉ hamār ………..” from childhood this is fed in to the brain. These lines could be better “Maẕhab nahīṉ sikhātā āpas meṉ bair rakhnā….”
I think the time is ripe for a big budget series on Shivaji Maharaj by @netflix@PrimeVideo@HBO or some big studio.
An eight part series. I hour each episode/part.
It will be a world wide hit.
PS: The movies made in India are not bad, but not remotely good enough to do justice to his story. Now that I think about it, Genghis Khan also is a great topic.
@hvgoenka@palkisu Indeed it is a security risk, so is fake & manipulated news which is propagated to sway or alter the minds of future generations. NEWS ideally should be complete, factual, independent & without political alignment. Call spade a spade.
On the martyrdom day of Shaheed Udham Singh, we remember the young orphan from Sunam, Punjab, whose life was forever shaped by the Jallianwala Bagh massacre . For nearly 21 years, he remained committed to seeking justice for its victims, culminating in the assassination of Michael O'Dwyer in London in 1940.
Before embracing the gallows on 31 July 1940, he signed his name as "Ram Mohammad Singh Azad"—a powerful affirmation of the unity of India's diverse faiths in the struggle for freedom.
His courage, sacrifice and unwavering commitment to justice continue to inspire generations. Tributes to this immortal son of Punjab.
I want to reassure Londoners that a suspect has been arrested and charged with murder in the Kirandeep Kaur case, which has caused real concern among London’s communities.
@hvgoenka Wait another 10 years. The trend will change.
In Birmingham, Ladypool Road, 10 years back there were traditional Indian/Pakistani eateries selling delicious Desi food. Now when I went there, most of those eateries have converted to Pizza, burger shops for "burger bachas"
@hvgoenka Still about 80% of population is on Government provided rations & doles. It’s a long way before India achieves the upper-middle-income status.
Satluj : Let the Debate Rest
I am deeply pained by the recent discourse surrounding the film Satluj. The film portrays a specific chapter of Punjab's history relating to disappearances, fake encounters, extra-judicial killings and illegal cremations without informing the kith and kin.
Any film based on historical events should be viewed as an artistic interpretation of a particular subject and must not become a means to reopen old wounds or create fresh divisions.
It is well established that Jaswant Singh Khalra pursued the issue of disappearances and illegal cremations only through constitutional and legal means, including filing habeas corpus petitions before the courts. . The Supreme Court of India and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) took cognizance of these issues, the CBI registered 62 cases for investigation, and his own abduction and murder ultimately led to the conviction.
Diljit Dosanjh's #Satluj is a film centred on one specific chapter of Punjab's history concerning alleged human rights violations. It is not #PunjabFiles, nor does it seek to present the entire history of terrorism and militancy in Punjab. Equally, neither Diljit Dosanjh nor the makers of the film have sought to justify terrorism or diminish the immense suffering caused by militancy, which claimed the lives of thousands of innocent civilians, security personnel and public servants during Punjab's darkest years.
Now that every Punjabi has had the opportunity to watch the film, the debate should be allowed to rest rather than reopening old wounds or relitigating the past.
Let us instead learn from these dark chapters of our history to strengthen justice and preserve the social harmony that is essential for a progressive and peaceful Punjab.
Punjab’s hard-earned peace should not be endangered by the uncalled for narratives.
Manmohan Singh: History will treat me more kindly.
Kindly? History will treat you as a GOD, greater than Gandhi. Eventually. Write it down.
OK am exaggerating a bit, but you get my point.
@hvgoenka By any chance do you know the price the Japanese consumers pay for their fruit & vegetables ?
On lighter note Indians are obsessed with celebrities photos rather than of common or farmer. I heard most of Indian film celebrities are farmers…..
