Recently All India Barber's Union filed a case against the Srk starring Billu Barber,the remake of our very own 'kathaparayumbol'.They felt that the name is insulting the profession of hairdressers.For avoiding further controversies, the producers of the film were swift to change the name to just BILLU..! After the name change too,Srk's residence was attacked...!What they need now? Can't even agree that the name was derogetory for the barber community.
When SlumDog Millionaire baged the Golden Globes and attracted
apprecitation from all over the globe, some groups in India were
busy trying to play with the name of the film as well as the content. Some said its tarring the image of shining India projecting the life in the slum.Some concentrated that 'Slumdog' is insulting the sentiments of the people in the slum.But they are not understanding the fact that this is real India where 60% lives in slums and rural areas.What is the mistakes in others knowing this?Easy to shout on the name of a 'name' but solutions of the real problems are hard to find out.!
On Janvary 24, the pub Amnesia and ladies in mangalore were attacked by a group of animals who themselves called Sri ram sena. Sad, a group which is named after Ram getting engaged in such animous activity.Proclaiming as the moral police and trying to save the Indian culture,they rampaged into the pub, terrorised the women community partying inside the pub and assaulted the stranger who came speaking for the
girls.Next day Sri ram sena, an unknown entity till last year went famous...!So as Pramod Muthalik.Last year it was MNS and Raj Thackerey who struggled to make their name heard in the news channels.Renuka Chowdri,Minister of state for women and some feminist organisations came with words of anger in the intial state but soon went into oblivion.
Chinese proverb had stressed-" Every one is free to swing his arms,but his arm should end just before other one's nose."
But here in India,one is crushing other's face.Some in the name of culture,some saying the case of insult.Where is the right of freedom? These issues mentioned above are just an example of a large category.This happens only in India.The rights are there only in books of the laws and those who are tipped to instal law and order convinently twist the laws in terms of their friends.Protest and demonstration by the opposition against the offenders capture the streets for a week and after that when the topic loses the charm,the public will soon learn to forget things quickly.
Concluding,in India....not only right of freedom ,but any right is going to be difficult to get inducted.Our law and security is so inneficient that no wonder why Jihadiz tempt to target Indian cities and people so often.We always like suffering.Will ever this situvation change ? Heh...well I am cynical on this issue.Looking forward to the Valentine's Day !!
