I was prepared for this but not soo soon.This time these people are not attacking RSS, VHP but proven benign organizations like ISKCON.
What for?
Just because they are helping Indian poor. ISKCON is blamed for marketing Indian poor to get funds from abroad. How can this be possible?
If you are asking funds for any cause you have to tell and show what for you are asking money.
Fund raising is a marketing activity. It is globally known fact.Is it wrong if they show some photos of Indian poor abroad to get funds? That too for uplifting them and giving a good life?
Having been in India and presently in US I see a huge difference in the way ISKCON is perceived. It isa really great noble organization with a firm objective in what they want to do.They are, at max, do persuasive talk but never indulge in any thing more.But some bad forces in India propagated a malign campaign against them and forever corrupted Indian mindset. I am not sure who but really there is a big system who is corrupting Indians about this Organization.
I saw this Organization from long time, scrutinized very closely to say they can never do some thing bad and something which they don't believe.
Who gives funds for ISKCON in abroad? No Jew, Xian and definitely not Muslims?
Most of them will be Krishna devotees or Hindus. So what is there to market them.They know every thing in India.
If at all anyone have to be worried about India then they shd see how India is shown in SlumDog Millionaire movie and its after-effects. When this movie got recognition in West, this same Indian media, without thinking in what way, started praising this movie as one which took India globally .
Globally..my foot. Every one now equates India with Africa. I personally saw 4-5 instances where they refer Global poverty with Indian slums.
Why our Indian lambs (majority population) are not able to recognize who is saving India and who is defaming India.

Delhi 6 movie
How could any one dare to make a movie like Delhi 6?
I am not asking how can any one SEE this-movie.
But I am asking how can anyone MAKE this movie which is a absolute mockery of our own beliefs, culture and what we are.
People are soo used to get whipped left and right, see someone make mockery of their own religion, mother that they seem to be thick skinned to even understand what is the issue with this movie.I never really want to write this blog.
I just was planning to see a nice week-end movie.But seeing this movie really pissed me off and spoiled my week-end.
Man...how to tell this. Just for example, show this movie to any person who don't know any thing about India and after the movie ask his comments about Hindus and Indian culture. I brought out-sider just to show how a seemingly-innocuous-movie for all of us gives an awkward picture about Hinduism.
Just understand what kids,teenagers will get out of this movie?If you have seen this movie and still feel why I am writing all this..read on
1) This movie is a propoganda,propoganda to malign Indian culture, beliefs, customs.
2) Indians ,mainly Hindus are shown as people who follow some age old blind faith and Hinduism is a religion full of superstitions.If it is shown in one scene then fine we could excuse the director.But this is the theme of the movie.From first to last this is the whole point.This is the only point in the movie.
There are numerous situations like
-people of roads of Delhi stopping to get blessing from cow delivering a calf (I never saw this happen in India even in towns)
-mocking Ramleela ..showing people showing least interest in the actual show...politicians using to exploit the sentiments on stage etc. I talked to a friend of mine who said in Delhi Ram Leela is seen with great piousness and no politician can never dare to break in between the show to give speech or any thing.
-Puja in Hero's house is shown with no one interested in what they are doing. Moreover, people are shown like wild dogs shouting at each other in pooja/bhajan time.
-Heroine father holding his 'janeu' thread in a ugly way after coming out of toilet.
-hindus are shown as violent rowdy mob without any reasoning and rationality and always full of hate to kill Muslims.
3) The opposite way of showing Islam, Muslims.
I don't have any issues with showing Islam, Muslims in a positive, respected way. How can I?But when shown in tandem with negative potrail of Hinduism the differences really poke out.What is the hidden agenda of the director?
-Only one Hindu, the heroine is shown positively. But what Hindu is she? She never wears bindi (ok..accepted these days).She never even come to pooja when whole family along with extended family is performing pooja (this is rare).Is this what the director want all Indian young girls to do if they are Hindus?
-Muslims doing namaz was shown in a great positive way with great background music. We can see the piousness and peacefulness when the director shows the namaz scenes.But why he showed the opposite way for what ever way Hindus are praying?
Am I overreacting? All my points are incorrect? I am sure who ever saw this movie can atleast say I am not concocting the scenes.
