And They Are Called The Elite Class...LOL!!!

Okay, so the literacy rate in India has increased immensely over the years and we now live in a civilized society and a developing country. Of course, we have seen development happen and the face of the society has undoubtedly undergone a change. We are said to be the biggest democracy in the world; elections happen every 5 years and we are administered by a new set of people every time. ‘Administration’ or, I can say, the ‘so-called administration’ as the people whom we refer to as our elite administrators are actually the dumbest people on the earth. Yeah, they may be educated and I am not denying the fact, but the education does not seem to be reflecting from their thoughts or the overtly foolish statements they make!

Ever since the popular Delhi rape case, we have been witnessing a series of foolish statements and comments coming out from people who are supposed to be our administrators. Of course, I am talking about the recent shocker by Mulayam Singh Yadav that has now become the talk of social media and most news channels. The statement that it is impossible for four men to rape a single woman simply makes you wonder on how you are to react on the foolishness of it. And, of course, this is not the first time. There was a statement made by this ‘great’ man last year that rape accused don’t deserve to be hanged as boys sometimes commit mistakes. The level of immorality and foolishness of the statement surely makes one think on whether one must express their anguish or not comment on it at all.

And, of course, we do not have one such man in our society. There are such well educated fools who have made disgusting statements in the past, especially following the popular rape case of December 16 in Delhi. For all those who have watched the documentary ‘India’s Daughter’ made by Leslee Udwin, I don’t need to tell you which educated fool I am talking about. The lawyer representing the accused in the case, Mr. A. P. Singh, had made shocking comments in the documentary and also in his interview following the hearing of the case. Asserting that the girl alone was responsible for what happened with her, this ‘highly educated’ man had also commented that banning Valentine Day celebration can help in reducing incidents such as rapes in the country.

And, we say these are our civilized and elite administrators; they administer the State and also guard the Law. LOL! They show how elite and educated they are through their statements, isn’t it?

The reason I totally loved #PK

A movie that has become the talk of the town, that gave birth to a hell lot of controversies and yet is the No.1 highest grossing movie in minimum time! Who wouldn't guess I am talking about PK! Aamir Khan's PK has become one of the hot topics in the tinsel town; while people have been watching it in large numbers, we also have a large number of critics for the movie! I happened to watch the movie a few days back and I simply loved it for many reasons. The reason I am writing a blog on this is that the movie tends to make a strong comment on the traditional and superstitious thinking of many Indians and break the stereotypes in the modern world. So here's why I simply loved the movie PK!

With a lot of movies by great stars and newbies coming up every month, Aamir Khan and Raju Hirani's PK definitely stands out with its strong script and undoubtedly the great acting of Aamir Khan. A story that begins with Aamir coming up on Planet Earth as an alien, takes several twists and turns and depicts the story and struggles of an innocent Aamir on this planet to survive and understand the different cultures, traditions and religions followed by people in India. What makes the movie really interesting and worth a watch is the humour induced while making a comment on the stereotypical Indian society.

The reason I felt like writing this blog and share with the world why I loved the movie is because there have been several debates and controversies regarding the film which I think are not a big deal! Many groups and people across the country have alleged that the movie hurts the religios sentiments of people and is against Hinduism. In reality, however, I believe that the movie simply conveys a message to people regarding the fakeness of the so called saints and holy people and urges them not to believe in them. I don't understand where the sentiments of people are hurt in this!

Another reason I resorted to writing on this topic is that I was talking about this with one of a colleague while he casually said that he is a critic of PK simply because Aamir Khan is a Muslim. Just like this colleague of mine, many people are in opposition of the movie simply because of such stupid reasons. And personally I do no think that such a great movie like this should be judged based on the religion of the actors in it. Guys, PK is a really good film and a must watch..please do not defame or criticize it for such unnecesary reasons.

One thing that I would surely like to tell people that if we continue with our narrow mindedness and differentiate between people on the basis of religion, what are our children going to learn? No child is born in the world with religious affinity; we teach unneccesary things to our children just to spoil their thinking! It is high time we drop this difference and emerge as a stronger and united nation!
