“Ae dil hai mushkil jeena yaha jara hat kar jara bach kar yeh hai bambai meri jaan” A song from old hindi classic ‘CID’ which and many other song depicts the true character of the city. I have to take care of now as I can’t sing this song in my country, because there is no city in India named as ‘BOMBAY’. Recently released ‘Wake up Sid’ has entangled in the controversy over using Bombay 12 times in movie instead of Mumbai. Producers have done the biggest sin on the earth. Biggest surprise was the way the producer has repented by apologizing to the self proclaimed GOD of Marathis.
After 62 years of Independence, What kind of law and order situation prevails in our country, I am pointless. If someone has any problem with the use of word ‘Bombay’ than there is police and court to report that objection but as they are the self posted whole sole leader of Marathis, their ego hurts if they go to police and court, according to them it should be other way round.
From the K-Jo’s and Film unit’s point of view, if there movie screening has been installed than they should have gone to police. But they choose the safest option to drive through the residence of chief. Producer apologized to him, God became happy as it shows the strong position they hold in the state.
Why there is so much fuss about name of the city? Are we not confident that if we continue with the name given by angrej to city, our culture/patriotism will vanish? Ok, now the name has changed, but is there any rule or ban by law not to use old name, than change the name of IIT BOMBAY, IIT MADRAS and many other.
Though, it’s true that we should not hurt the sentiments of masses especially this theory apply to the public figure but what about freedom of expression? Next time each producer should have a special screening before release to these powerful people, and should secure their blessing. Otherwise it is tough to run their show.
If someone wants to start political career in my state Rajasthan, what should be his/her entry strategy. They should invoke sentiments of masses. There is one trap in Rajasthan; there are different dialects in Rajasthan – Hadauti, Shekhawati, Marwari, Mewari etc. So based on language the invoking sentiments will be tough task. So what can be other point?

Democracy is not perfect. There is always many a slip between the cup and the lip. As you have pointed out rightly, KJo chose a hassle free movie screening rather than self ego when he apologized. He did it because these people would have taken law into their own hands and created trouble for the movie.
ReplyDeleteCrores of rupees are spent in this name conversion exercise...aren't there hundreds of better way to spend money??? But in terms of media coverage, not everything gives the same return!
ReplyDeleteHalf of the people who create ruckus stating that their culture is being contaminated don't know a shit about history and culture.

ReplyDeleteIt is absolute rubbish to make such thing an issue ,but idle hands are devil's workshop ,thats what happening to a large chunk of youths which are puppets in the hand of these shrewd and screwed politicians .They misguide entire community for their own benefits or politicking .........
ये राज ठाकरे का दिमाग ख़राब है
ReplyDeleteये तो कारन जोहर था, एक बार में मान गया
इस तरह से तो ऐसे कट्टरपंथी लोगो को बढावा मिलेगा.
किस किस का नाम बदलोगे समाज नहीं आता
national resources are wasted in politics
ReplyDeleteindia have maximum youth power this time and it must not be wasted in fighting on caste/region/other meaning less issues
just focus on growth
politicians are most selfish persons
Karan Johar is a businessman and he chose the option that was best to his business.
ReplyDeleteGaurav, the concern raised by you is just. Most of the time its the political lot which makes hue and cry over an issue which has got least to do with the common man ... I mean who cares whether a city is called Bangalore or Bengaluru, Bombay or Mumbai, or Calcutta or Kolkata ... but still parties like MNS for their political mileage, dig out issues which no one cares about and make a mockery of law and order. But then the onus lies on us altogether. Why is it that inspite of such issues a party like MNS has got many seats in the recent elections in Maharashtra??? Are we playing our part??? Then what is the point in cribbing over something that has happened?
