My take on Avatar. Another interesting reading comparing it to the fight of vaishavism and Shaivites. Very apt and creative
Namak Haram revisited
If you remember the plot of this Hishikesh Mukherjee classic - Rulling class plants their agent amonsgt the working class to dictate norms. The agent turns "Rogue" ( doing a David Headly) and fights for the cause of working class.
Creative Insights
And we add global warming, more greenery, more creative angles and shoots by James Cameron. Each canvas of the pandora is colorful and fascinating. That might be the reason that all the creative directors like Cameron's and Zemekis of the world are resorting to Anime to fulfill their creativity. Where else can you shoot a burning horse without offending the PETA and the animal lovers.
Salwa Judum gone wrong
Salwa judum, is a state sponspored group supposedly formed to revolt against the maoist extremism in Jharkhand.At the same time, a few reports indicated that people had been displaced in large numbers and were living in miserable conditions in camps. While this was officially attributed to Maoist threats and retaliation against those joining the Salwa Judum, stray news also came in about the forcible emptying out of villages as part of the government's anti-Maoist policy, and of excesses committed by members of the Salwa Judum and security forces. It was alleged that it was covert operation to vacate the tribal population from mineral rich areas as a gift to India's Private sector.
These are some random thoughts. Would appreciate comments.
