He is making movies glorifying our culture and this movie is on the fierce Maratha warrior who fought the Mughals. Please watch and spread the word.

Nitesh Tiwari: I'd be foolish to tamper with 'Ramayan'

Director Nitesh Tiwari, who is in the process of creating a three-part marathon feature film series on the 'Ramayan' after 'Chhichhore', is very clear that in his treatment of the sacrosanct epic, there will be no distortions, no embellishments and no innovation. Tiwari said it would be foolish to make changes for the sake of creative liberties or revisionist flourishes.

"Given the times we live in, it'd be foolish to make changes in a scripture that is an integral part of every Hindu household. It's a flawless story. I'd be a fool to tamper with it. I am going to be completely faithful to the text. This will be the 'Ramayan' exactly the way we know it," said Tiwari.

The filmmaker's assertion comes in the wake of last week's development, when a TV channel served a notice by the Ministry Of Information and Broadcasting for spreading distorted religious information in their show.

After 'Chhichhore', the 'Ramayan' series is Tiwari's most ambitious project.

Produced by Madhu Mantena, 'Ramayan' is said to be the most expensive film project to have ever been made in India. Estimates suggest the budget could be over Rs 600 crore, and the project will take up the next two years of Tiwari's life.

"I am consumed by the idea of doing a large-screen version of this epic. The 'Ramayan' is a part of almost every Hindu household. I grew up with it as an essential part of my life, and for me making it into a film is an honour I only dreamt of. My prayers have been answered," said the filmmaker.

"We are doing it in three sections, as one feature film will be too lengthy. The three feature films will be released after the other with short gaps."

On casting Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone as Ram and Sita, he observed, "That's the wishful casting of devotees of the 'Ramayan'. I must say the casting sounds perfect, and it shows how keenly people are interested in the project. But the actual casting for me begins only when I've finished writing."

Good!

1. Ramayan will yet again come alive on the silver-screen in all its grandeur.
2. It will remain faithful to its core text.
3. Indian film makers are still willing to back a massive project with civilizational context.
4. Renewal of the epic needs to happen every 2 generation to keep it alive considering the current short attention span generations.

Why no one will douse the CAA fire in Bengal | India Today Insight -- Romita Datta | Kolkata | January 10, 2020
UPDATED: January 10, 2020 13:03 IST

Away from the political posturing, in which the BJP promised a citizenship lifejacket to Hindu and non-Muslim refugees and the TMC assured protection to Muslims, it was the ordinary citizen who provided the city its voice of reason and sanity. In a spontaneous outpouring, they spilled out on the streets -- rich and poor, young and old -- in defence of an inclusive India, guaranteed by the forefathers of Constitution.

Up to this point the writeup was more or less factual but this is the writer's ode to her "Idea of India". Just so we know her "Liberal" leanings. Very important to figure out the writers bias upfront so that we can compensate for it when it becomes blatant.

As social analyst Prasanto Ray, professor emeritus of Presidency University, put it, "Mamata is confused. If the NRC gave her an edge initially, by now, it has become an overused tool. The CAA has made her shaky as far as the Hindu voters are concerned. The BJP is pushing her to the edge of batting for the Muslim community. At one point, she's trying to protect the Muslim vote bank but at another point she's trying to do a balance by upholding her secular credentials. Her audience, especially the minority vote bank, is confused."

Prof. Prasanto Ray has read it right.

"It is understandable why Mamata is appealing to the students to take this movement forward.

History is full of examples where student movements played crucial roles in changing the course of social and political thinking. People are generally sympathetic to the cause of students and they have the age, and the emotion on their side to continue, which Mamata fears her political brigade cannot do," says Roy. "Moreover, any assault or attack on students has the power to trigger an explosive situation. Perhaps Mamata is thinking along this line and the sympathy it would generate all over the country would give more steam to the anti-CAA movement," says a veteran TMC leader, on condition of anonymity.

Mumtaz has to balance between her Muslim vote bank and the Hindu vote. She cannot win just based on the Muslim votes @ 28%. In a direct fight, assuming no other choice, she needs to get at least another 22% of the total votes i.e. ~ 30% of the Hindu votes to push back the BJP challenge for sure.

BJP know this and is relentless in its push for CAA in Bengal and make Mumtaz's balancing difficult. OTOH, IF BJP can get 70% of the Hindu votes, Mumtaz is finished in Bengal. Hindu ~ 72% of the voters i.e 70% of 72% = 50.4% enough to dethrone Mumtaz Banojee.

The media spins that the SC order is against GoI/Modi. Where as the order is all about re-evaluating the situation in Kashmir valley in a week's time and THEN see if internet services can be restored. GoI can still do a re-evaluation and then continue with the internet ban, and clearly explain SC the findings of its re-evaluation. The fact is that the "seculars" have completely lost the game in J&K. What ever GoI wanted to do, they have done it. Jammu & Kashmir state is now history, only the two Union Territories remain.

It seems like individual (s) behind this "yehlog" Twitter account were responsible for Accenture India MD pulling out of a RSS based IT conference. Now they are encouraging folks to boycott Zoho as its founder has said that he will be attending the above conference. Apart from Zoho, they have also turned their gaze towards Wipro (for developing software which will help with NPR/NRC) and TVS Group.

Some tweets by this Yehlog:

"Cutting edge" technology from @wipro propelled the NRC- snatching the citizenship of 40 lakh Indians on a mere whim. Where have you heard this before? Right, Big Business collaborating to help run concentration camps "effectively" in Germany

Here's @Wipro's spin on how they stripped lakhs of Indians of their citizenship in record time, on the basis of ethnicity and faith

Surely, @Wipro can't go about its business normally elsewhere in the world after facilitating one of the largest state-backed ethnic cleansing projects we have seen in recent times ? What makes them think they can?

Interesting. Does @tony_prophet know about your role in disenfranchising millions of Indians for the NRC on the basis of ethnicity and faith, in a deply flawed exercise, likely leading them to concetration camps?

And for TVS Group's Gopal Srinivasan endorsing Zoho's pro-event stand...

Gopal Srinivasan of India's TVS group proudly proclaimes his association with the Nazi-inspired fascist RSS. The "values and culture" he endorses here are those of exclusion and extermination of fellow citizens, & the goal of a majoritarian fascist state

Union home ministry issues notification, CAAcomes into effect – PTI

NEW DELHI: The Centre on Friday announced that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act will come into force from January 10.

In a gazette notification, the Union home ministry said the act under which non-Muslim refugees from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan will be given Indian citizenship, will come into force from January 10.

"In exercise of the powers conferred by subsection (2) of the section 1 of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 (47 of 2019), the Central government hereby appoints the 10th day of January, 2020, as the date on which the provisions of the said Act shall come into force," the notification said.

The CAA was passed by parliament on December 11.

According to the CAA, members of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities who have come from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan till December 31, 2014 facing religious persecution there will not be treated as illegal immigrants but given Indian citizenship.

There have been widespread protests against the act in different parts of the country.

Those who are opposed to the legislation are saying that it is for the first time that India will grant citizenship on the basis of religion which violates the basic tenets of the country's constitution.

However, the government and ruling BJP has been defending the act saying that the minority groups from the three countries have no other option but to come India when they face religious persecution there.

The home ministry, however, is yet to frame the rules for the act.

Cheers

Theres a hypocrisy and abject servility in both Rajan and Banerjee views that has nothing to do with humanities.
Both clearly knew JNU student clashes with the establishment are routine since they lived thru it.

Whether its the Namo government or Indira Gandhi the response has been similar. reluctantly step in when the kids get too unruly.e.g Banerjee "...gheraoed the vice-chancellor in his house for the umpteenth time". Neither Banerjee or Kanhaiya were put in a gas chamber. On the whole very benign.

The US deals with similar dissent in a draconian fashion. When Rajan entered the US as a student "move" headquarters were bombed in 1985 in Philadelphia. The dissenters were shot when they came out of the burining building and an entire neighborhood burnt down.

But only the current government gets the label of " moving towards nazi rule". "spoiling Indias image" and so forth..
Criticism is one thing theres a lot to criticize but they have adopted a most unhinged dehumanizing form of criticism. It's dangerous because many "engineering types" are lapping it up.

These desi luminaries are force multipliers, hacking and chipping away at the popular vote and public opinion and the only establishment that has ever tried to get things moving.

Just defining the problem..
