The hands you take and the hands you leave version 2 part 91in page86 - Page 63

@Janas and @Tiny. I am not, for one moment, analysing Rani Padmini's action, i.e Johar. It might have been the best choice for them then. My only point is, that , to showcase it in this time and age may provoke unnecessary repurcussions. We already have many soaps on television which glorify a certain kind of mindset about ideal bahus and betis. Such ideas will take us back in time .Filmmakers should let history to the historians. History is best portrayed in the form of a documentary rather than a feature film. As u rightly said @Janas, all this film has achieved is GOOD MONEY, PUBLICITY to Sanjay leele bansali and some very bad PUBLICITY to Indian democracy.

Cute thanks for pointing out that dialogue. My issue is with that dialogue which equates jauhar to the power of rajput bangles.not jauhar was committed as I know throughout history women have committed suicide in one form or another than become sex slave.and it continues becauBrse even now we r not making ladies learn martial art, fighting techniques both physical and emotional thinking someone will protect them. It is a harsh reality a woman has to know she has to fight her battle. She has to be equipped from childhood for that. When u equate valor in a movie to jauhar again the generation grow up thinking that's the right thing to do.it's not. Atleast now. I have read lot of Indian history. There are many awe inspiring stories of valor of both men and woman in it which should see the light of the day in shows and movies. That should inspire the generation to fight it out. bring positive change. I am a fan of Indian history and mytho. My biggest dream is to write a love story around partition hopefully another love story around Bhopal gas tragedy, then many other topics which interest me. At present I am editing seven vows for publishing. That story is also based in Rajasthan set in 90s deals with couple of social issues most prominent being female feticide. Now someone asked are woman safe now. My question is what are we doing to make it safe.someone brought us till here.what are we doing to better things. Both history and mytho offers u learning to do something even a small step for something better. Question is r we taking those learning.

No controversies at that time.

Shruthi, we r in this forum and there r other fora where people like us discuss. But my question is about the very common people. How will we impart knowledge. For them first is "Roti, Kapada and Makaan". We r all like that. Once we achieve that, only after that we think about all these. So how r we going to explain all these. Education in the correct sense has to be free. Some NGOs promote it, but I've personally seen because of funds they tend to distort facts. I'll not elaborate. It will cause problems. So I don't volunteer with them. Result who is the beneficiary? Who is the loser? We don't know. But what I do is from experience, I try not give unsolicited advice; but help them. Not lead a life of begging. But in whatever possible way, I try. And I do only for people who I know.

Thanks @Janas for reminding about that song. I am optimistic, like the poet who penned those lines. We will reach there one day.

@leavesandweaves yes that is what I told if it comes in TV I will watch it for songs and grandeur. I agree to you on SLB. He takes doomed stories on artisitc canvas. Exception maybe Hum Dil de Chuke Sanam and this was the movie I watched also because of Ajay Devgn's subtle performance as Vanraj in second half.

Shruthi exactly the reason i could not enjoy Rang de Basanthi...the conclusion left me feeling defeated...
