Why?

Mowgli is supposed to be a metaphor for Kipling's own life. Jungle books, taken together, are supposed to be a parable of his own childhood, growth and internal struggle about staying in the jungle (backward heathen India) or going to the village (civilized England).

Seriously?????

Now a simple tale has to be boycotted because people have victim mentality.

And what is  wrong with the metaphor too.Jungle representing India is beautiful .

Some people just want to turn everything into a lynching parade....taking the country backward and turning it into their version of 'halaal 'state.

Fundoos turning the country into a  bloody joke.

I dont expect you to boycott. We live in a free world (non mullah part atleast). You've the freedom to believe whatever  - even slavery. I am just hoping VHP types would go and do their thing.

Ask your VHP types to go after Tom and jerry too....and if they find Mickey mouse and Minnie mouse hangng out together without sindoor and Mangalsutra...tell them to beat them and blacken their faces.

Why must you go all auntyji, when at loss of a proper argument? Kipling was a Raj apologist. You can't get any more explicit in support of colonialism than "The White Man's Burden". While Jungle book re runs used to played on DD in the 90s (I grew up on them too), I chalk them up to Gungadeen (Congi) Chicanery. We may or may not have known better then, but we certainly have the wherewithal to present the counter narrative now.

If you don't have a problem with Jungle book, then I suggest, you put up a picture of General Dyer and Churchill in your living room, and start singing god save the queen every morning.

Most people don't walk around digging the past to look like victims because they have better things do in the present.

I love Jungle Book .You can do what you want with your pictures of all the people who wronged us.

I no longer care .I don't care about burning our buses and blocking traffic for something that does not effect our present and our future. 

I am looking forward to this movie.
