whether its dhurandhar, chaava or homebound

We should never learn about any religion from a movie. Movies are for our entertainment.

And I mean it for any religion, not just Santan dharm. Christianity. Islam. You want to know any religion, you read the core texts . You follow how that religion came to and how it spread , it'sprogress through history . The lived reality of it is as important as the textual facts. Afterall, faith is a practice. So how it is practiced is also very important.

What however is completely unimportant is how media portrays them , good or bad.

Violence based on caste is deplorable.

However how is religion responsible for that?? I've extensively studied our core texts and never found a single thing that encourages or instructs any human being to inflict violence onto another without a justifiable and righteous cause. In Geeta , Shree Krishna clearly said , there's no point in fighting a war unless that war is righteous and you're fighting on the right side of it.

Forget human beings, it is strictly forbidden to even inflict violence on animals needlessly.

If anyone can find me a single valid text from our core sastras that says UC people are allowed to resort to violence on LC people on the basis of their caste, I'd like to know that . I know there's none.

yeah, i don't believe anything shown in movies. all these dhurandhar, and chaava's and bounds are bullsh#it stories.

Never expected AR Rehman will play the victim card. He is very lucky and priviledged that he gets to do atleast 5 movies each year, other music directors don't even have more than 1-2 releases a year. Gone are the days when Rehman's music used to be applauded. Genz doesn't connect with him atall. They prefer Amit Trivedi, Mithoon, Tanishq, Sachet...... Rehman's recent compositions were all boring and forgettable. He won't accept his shortcomings.

Dalits till today in parts of the country have to fight for even basic right to worship. UCs will cry about reservation but keep shut about casteism and its wretched practices even after almost 80 years of independence.

Todays gen don't connect with his music. Todays generation even the tamil prefer anirudh ravichander.

In bollywood too neither the top stars aamir srk salman hrithik akshay ajay or ranbir repeat him quite often..

I still prefer arr over any musician in India but that's an entirely different topic.

ARR is a legend and the most successful music director of the country's history. But time comes when new people replace the older legends. It happens in every field and it's pretty natural.

Very much agree with you in this

bold: That could be part of an honest discussion about who decides what "rightous" and "the right side" is... (but probably not in this thread )

However, I enjoyed reading what you wrote here.
