When was the right time to release TheKashmirFiles? - Page 8

Gandhi was killed by a Maharashtrian Brahmin, my mom is one… she wasn’t born then, my maama and maasi were toddlers. My naanaji’s house was burnt down by a mob, his non brahmin friends saved the family… I’ve heard these first hand experiences too…

And when operation Blue star happened and IG was killed, congress goons started the Sikhs genocide , my maternal family lived in a Sikh society in tilak nagar , delhi thought their area was protected , but all the Granthis of the nearby gurudwara were killed in a cruelest manner .

Just to remind, this is the same guy who said, “who said facts are facts”.😆

I never heard of this guy before last week 😆

It is not just massacre but the after effects of the same. Most kp's have repressed this incident, people don't talk about it amongst themselves, i have seen how it destroyed my maternal cousin who was once a topper and was about 15 years old at that time, he committed suicide 3 years back. My father became depressed and had to undergo treatment. I was born prematurely 10-15 days after the exodus and because of the stress my mother had complications which led me to have cerebral palsy. I am not writing these things for any kind of sympathy but it is catharsis to me. To be able to tell that yes, we suffered but also we did bounce back.

My family was one of the lucky ones that we didn't live in relief camps but you many who did, died from heatstroke, bites of snakes.

One of my batchmate is Sikh girl now US citizen spends her life on Facebook to spread vitrol against Hindus. Most of us have openly criticized her.

PS: She hated blacks and Hispanics.

This the correct time to release tkf cuz to acknowledge what heinous assulation has been happened with Kashmiri pandits. N people have audacity to blame modiji cuz I know the reason why they bash him n one more if this movie has been surfaced in so call kangress government time this movie has not been see a day of light cuz this so call kangress government lies have been seen by the neutral peoples. Kabhi kabhi insaniyat bhi honi chahiye kuch logo mei behind there so call hatred towards some politicians.

Bollywood has a certain template when it comes to depiction of Islamist Terrorism in movies. As per the template, if the perpetrators happen to be Indian, you have to humanize them no matter what. So a film like Black Friday for instance has little to no interest in the victims of the Bombay bomb blasts. Instead it spends a vast majority of it's screentime on the back stories of the bomb planters, humanizing them at every instance and showing how they were just caught up in the cycle of violence. Even when it comes to a terrorist like Tiger Memon, he gets a scene where his office is burnt and so on.

The problem when you make a film on the genocide of the Kashmiri Hindus is that it doesn't really offer you any excuse like that where you can disingenuously rationalize the violence. So you can't blame it on the Babri Masjid demolition, you can't blame it on any anti-Muslim riots, you can't blame it on the intolerant majority cause the Pandits were the hapless minority in Kashmir who had drunk the Kool-aid of Kashmiriyat. So unless you are a bottom of the barrel scumbag like Burkha who shamelessly tries to rebrand an ethnic cleansing as some sort of populist uprising against the privileged, "elite" Kashmiri Hindus (yeah right!), you just have to show it for what it was, vile religious bigotry against the Kashmiri Hindus.

So basically this is unchartered territory for Bollywood. Hence there was never gonna be a right time to release it. No wonder the vitriol against the movie has been unprecedented. Now I wish a much better film-maker than Agnihotri had tackled the subject but hey at least it's a start.

My point too is about Agnihotri. Wish it was directed by an apt director, but issue is apt directors are all too much into the "let's supress truth for peace" when it comes to these issues.

I want to watch this movie, and I’m going to eventually but I hate the fact that it’s been been made by Vivek Agnihotri.

I want to watch it made by someone else really. ☹️🥺

I have shikhara on my watchlist too.

Though I do believe that socio economic status and power are always big reasons for unrest and riots among many communities. That’s how divide and rule was actually out in practice by colonialists. It always worked.

In India all communities has gone through atrocities Sikh, Muslims and KP.
