Yeah,no interest in Chhapaak. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk What is this narrative that you speak of? Have you watched Bajirao Mastani and Panipat? How did you find those? I will catch this movie later this week. I've heard a lot of good things about this one. I already anticipate a cringe worthy attempt by Ajay Devgn uttering: "adhi lagin kondanacha, punha lagin rayba cha" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had all star cast, still do well. Aarakshan hardly had anything to do with reservation. It had *NO* social message. It was about proliferation of coaching classes/centres, and how without keeping profit as the driving motive education can be imparted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda-esque Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Mariyam,do you agree that a less than 200 year old Mughal history in this glorious history of ours is disproportionately represented in curriculum??Everyone knows who the 6 great emperors are,everyone's knows the Congress leaders..but apart from small chapters on Ashoka,Gupta and Maurya there's nothing else.That has to be changed.Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk randomGuy, someone and raki05 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to be changed. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk To be honest, I don't know who the 6 Mughal Emperors are! I don't think most people could be bothered either ways with what is in the curriculum. I could however, tell you the last 6 years Filmfare award winners. Mughals are relatively recent. Ashoka and the like are from a couple of millennia ago. Authentic sources on Ashoka's life are not as abundant as they are on the Mughals, British and Post Independence India. Most people in Maharashtra already know about (at least vaguely) Shivaji and the Maratha history. That has also to do with them being relatively recent. For example, I doubt many would know which dynasty/sculptor built the Ajanta and Ellora caves. The bias here is chronological and not civilizational/religious. Besides, how would a movie 'change' any of this? Bollywood, in the past has made movies on Ashoka, the Rajputs, the Sikhs, the Marathas, freedom fighters etc. Where exactly is the bias?

I bet people in China know about Xin dynasty, or that people in Turkey know about Ottomans or the Italians about Romans .These are not recent civilizations.Since textbooks do not mention all the indic civilizations ( probably from fear of leftist backlash) prior to the 16th century, what's wrong if films raise that awareness? I have seen many comments on Twitter that they now know who Tanaji was.By the way ,the capture of Kondhana started the 30 year Maratha- Mughal wars that forced Aurangzeb to come down to Deccan and he still could not defeat the Marathas and died a bitter man.Its an important passage and event of our history.Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk sergio04 and coffee_rules 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariyam Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Baba Ramdev wants Deepika to hire him as an adviser. <- click left for the full article. Yoga guru Ramdev said Deepika Padukone should get herself acquainted with socio-political issues in the country before taking any "big decisions" and should appoint people like him as her advisors, who will give her a "fair insight" into vital issues. :D raki05, riya, randomGuy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a clear win of a rejuvenated India over the Congressi one that existed for around 70 years post Independence.

Sunday - Chhapaak Tuesday- Lior Suchard "the mentalist" show: he was in Mumbai (MUST watch) Wednesday- Tanhaji. I enjoyed Tanhaji. Ajay Devgn essays the role of Tanaji surprisingly well. In the Maratha genre Bollywood movies I've enjoyed Bajirao Mastani the most. speedheat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us want to watch a masala movie to enjoy it without trying to link it to politics. That would be my stupid guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
