Mariyam Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Wonder why Amrish Puri never got this kind of hate? He played some evil shaman character in The Temple of Doom who used to pray to Goddess Kali. He also forced children to work for him and his way of life was generally shown to be quite barbaric. he rips out a guys heart as a part of a sacrificial ritual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjdjDz8jhN4 Was that not attacking our country's reputation?

Hydra Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Indians are a joke, get upset about fictitious TV shows, and movies. But the reality of India gets swept under the carpet. If Indians really want to get outraged then they should get outraged by the poverty, lack of infrastructure, rapes, sexual harassment/sexual assault, infanticide and many other things.

Comparing two completely different things. Religious rituals which has some precedence in our history to being termed a Hindu terrorist, a thing which has never happened, has no precedence and unlikely to happen in the near future. You can still write a character like that Amrish Puri one because such things do exist even now but Hindu terrorists attacking US or any other country has no precedence.

That was a disgusting movie, a frontal attack on our country. It was banned in India, maybe Amrish Puri wasn't attacked that vigorously because of lack of social media/news channels/awareness etc back in the day. I wasn't born then but have heard my father and uncles call Spielberg names because he abused our culture in the filthiest manner possible.

The issue between India and Pakistan is political issue .Both countries are trying to make world opinion in favour of them .So a TV serial that shows Indian Hindu as terrorists will do damage at their reputation. As far Amrish puri is concerned, Tantriks are reality of India , Human sacrifice too is several time reported .Moreover that film did not had any impact on political opinion which favour Pakistan.

I think he was referring to this story. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-44435127 Got really pi$$ed. Didnt dicuss with him and asked him have you ever thought why only scare stories come out of other countries while we have episodes like Grenfell tower where poor people were effectively burnt alive to make some space and story is put on back page as soon as they appear. So just that we can feel lucky and good about ourselves. Alam_dar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariyam Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) @Singh bling @rkt.india @mishra First off, I do not buy this "a TV show has ruined the reputation of India". Its a TV show, not a news channel. I don't think we judge Americans by what we see in their TV shows. Otherwise, we'd think that they are all fat and generally clueless. Oh wait.... On the same lines I do not think that that Americans judge us by what they see in TV. They would however, judge us a lot more by our reactions to these issues/non issues. Also this is the American awaam that they we are talking about. Do we care about what they feel/think/ or in most cases don't think? How they perceive us to be etc? We should lobby for our interests in the US senate. That is all that matters in the real world. I'd say we do a fair job there, with our shares of hits and misses. The USA, for all its flaws, has a civilian Nuclear deal with us. It doesn't with its own ally, Pakistan. The USA gave us very limited access to David Headley. The USA refused extradition of Warren Anderson, CEO during the leak at the Union Carbide plant. A major cost cutting exercise was initiated by him a few months before the Bhopal Gas tragedy. These are real contentious issues we have with the USA. Never heard of any Indian/ NRI/ PIO raise a voice/lobby for the victims of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. But yeah, Quantico has ruined our image. Lets all tell the gullible Americans what they can and can't watch. Re: Tantrik practices may have been a part of Hinduism. But ripping out someone's heart and what not is a huge creative exaggeration and shows a religion or its associated practice in a very poor light. Or so I think.

Hollywood? I ask you, why are you so upset over what some Americans may think about India, after watching this show? Why the need for this acceptance/validation from the West?

mishra Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 @Mariyam There is a tv serial called Goodness Gracious Me. In that there is a joke where by Indian British guy doesnt gets offended or takes no exception, instead thinks its OK when a white British guy uses racially abusive term P A K I. Joke shows gullibility of Indians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
