The ban on Aaja Nachle

Rajindia reacts to the ban on Aaja Nachle:

Coming back to the topic “kahe mochi bhi apne ko sunar hai” (even the cobbler call himself a goldsmith). Why A cobbler has to call himself a goldsmith or in Hindi a sunar? The answer is simple because a dalit/cobbler wants to hide his identity. After all who does not want dignity as human being? Who does not deserve to be treated like any other person in the world? What’s wrong being treated as a human being? WE should go back to the hisory of our nation and religion. We should quesiton those books and systems which degrade the human being. We should put them down itself which put people down.

Swatis opines:

The film should not have been banned. The portrayal of (or the lack of) Dalits in Bollywood needs to be changed, altogether. Instead of banning the movie and creating controversy over one line in a Bollywood film, Mayawati should have simply used this as an example of how the very concept of the caste system needs to change and make progressive decisions as the leader of the biggest state in India. Bollywood shouldn’t be her focus.

    Never use the age old proverb ‘Sau sunaar ki, ek lohar ki’, again. You never know who is going to find that offensive too!

    We are getting increasingly intolerant, competitively so, with each passing day. Most Urdu Shayars of yesteryears would have been in exile like MF Hussain for what they had written about liquor and God.

    If you wish to, read my detailed views in my post on the sorry state of freedom of expression in a modern, secular India.
