Bollywood is a fatal attraction for Budding Talents

'All that Glitters is not Gold' -- A famous saying is apt for the glamour world whose outer layer shines whereas the inner layer is hollow. Young and bright minds enamored by the outer shine of Bollywood, get sucked into its hollowness. Their desire to achieve money, name and fame overpowers the negatives of the film industry.


Nepotism is the ideal word for Bollywood, where fifty year old Uncles, portraying as college students, are seen romancing with young heroines. They lack looks, acting skills and voice modulation, yet manage to get movies after movies. Meaningful cinema, where genuine talent could be spotted, is a thing of past.

The Directors & Producers are overdependent on the star power of a 'HERO' to achieve commercial success. Presentation of movie, grandeur of sets and get up of artists take precedence over scripts, dialogues, messaging and plot. Most Bollywood movies lack content and a strong story line. 

The directors copy ideas, transform them into a nicely-packaged waste and then present the final movie as an original artistic work. These shameless plagiarists then travel around the world boasting about the commercial success of their films. To please their funding masters, the producers place anti-India content, which is presented in a subtle manner to the audience.

Bollywood, therefore, is a propaganda machine, a DEN of sleaze, sex rackets, drugs & nepotism. It lacks originality and character in film-making and has become a platform to propagate anti-India agendas. It is nothing but a dumpyard for illicit wealth of goons, terrorists and underworld dons. These criminal minds care two hoots about talented artists. Established players receive funding from questionable sources. 

The lacklustre 'Starkids' are given preference over bright and talented actors. Talent is secondary but surname is mandatory. The so-called stakeholders of Bollywood have placed unethical BARRIERS for the entry of bright young talents. Creativity can fly a kite!!

This film industry stinks of selfishness, greed, duplicity and exploitation. The unexpected deaths of Divya Bharti, Sri Devi and now Sushant Singh Rajput (CBI enquiry can unravel the mystery surrounding Sushant Singh Rajput's deathare indicative of a much wider and deeper malaise within Bollywood. 

It would do a world of good if the entire Bollywood undergoes a cleansing process through impartial investigations by agencies.  

The Argumentative Secular

I have had a lot of interactions with my fellow Indians from different backgrounds. Besides the small talk and other stuff, most of the times I have ended up discussing the political situation of our country. While I do see that a common Indian is gradually waking up to the crimes committed by Congress, I still feel that he is quite reluctant to accept the inherent flaws in his support for Congress. Given the extent of my conversations, I can classify these congress supporters into the following categories: 
  1. Half Patriots Seculars: These people feel for the motherland however, they do not have the courage to raise their voice openly. One common trait in them is cowardice because they are scared to accept that Congress is a partner of Islam in its undeclared war on India. Due to this cowardice, these half patriots hide in the Burqa of Secularism. And no other party except congress symbolizes cowardice and pseudo secularism perfectly - hence, the support. Consequently, these seculars will fight tooth and nail to defend secularism and also try to show that Islam is not at all that bad. They are willing to die for the motherland but are unwilling to accept the weaknesses of Islam. They are not even prepared to tackle Islam with proper solutions. Majority of confused middle-class Hindus are in this category.
  2. Naive and rural: Although their number is getting marginalized on a daily basis, they still exist. And to everyone's shock, they still believe in the false legend of Congress. They believe that the fake Gandhis can deliver the goods just as Mahatma Gandhi did back in 1947. Mostly innocent rural people, who are unaware that they and their upcoming generations have been ripped permanently from leading a dignified life, come under this bracket. They fail to understand why more and more Indians are becoming increasingly assertive about their rights. They like to be led by a charming personality whether it is Rajiv, Indira OR Rahul Gandhi (aka Buddhu).
  3. Pure-play mercenaries: They are willing to trade their support for a particular party in exchange of favors. These favors could be in the form of money, alcohol, reservations, jobs, business opportunities etc. The mercenaries are the most selfish and do not have any love, whatsoever, for the motherland. They are predominantly parasites who thrive on the flaws that exist in our system. Majority of muslims (whether modern or traditional), christians, journalists, businessmen and politicians form this category.
Out of the above categories, I believe that the first two categories can be tackled and their flawed thinking can be appropriately rectified; however, the people in the last category do seem to be beyond repair.  

I have had a chance to interact with people from all of the above categories and I believe that the first step towards delivering justice to motherland will be by rectifying the flawed thought processes of first two categories. If the first two categories understand the dangerous design, then we can automatically nullify the purpose of the entire system and machinery that Congress has created over the years. 

In order to rectify the thought process, we must understand the mind of a secular OR should I say the pseudo secular. This will serve dual purposes viz. deconstruction of flaws in their thought processes and reconstruction or revitalization of true Bharatiya identity in them. Once we achieve these purposes, we will succeed in forming a united front against Congress and other fake parties such as AAP, SP, BSP etc. 

For the same, I would like to highlight the following arguments that are favorites of Pseudo seculars: 

Indians are born corrupt
This is one of the most common line of defense of pseudos and pessimists. Their wrongly bred inferiority complex helps them to talk good of Western values and denounce anything that is Indian OR Indian value system based. Therefore, their inferiority complex is the driver of their confidence which makes them sound prophetic, as if India will continue to remain a corrupt country. Moreover, they discourage others to fight within the system.   

Educated and Good people should not enter politics because all politicians are bad
This is one of the most absurd and naive arguments I have come across from the seculars. Such an argument is a result of 'Nothing left to defend' situation, i.e. when the seculars have nothing left to defend Congress, they will pronounce that every Politician is corrupt whether in BJP OR Congress leaving no room for you to take the discussion forward. My simple counter question to their argument is that if educated people are prohibited from entering Politics, then what kind of environment are you leaving for your next generation.

People should first change from within and bring positive attitudinal change in others
Again when "Nothing left to Defend" situation wherein the seculars will argue that we need to stop giving bribes in order to get our work done. Of course, we should do that but aren't the political leaders responsible for the welfare of the common man. If the common man has to suffer because of the system, then he has the right to punish the people who run such a system. From another perspective, India is witnessing multiple challenges in the form of low foreign investment, high inflation and unstable business environment. 

Under these circumstances, what do the seculars favor -- that we should stop buying onions, pulses and other commodities. We should refrain from eating onions and pulses as it will be the perfect example of changing ourselves and as a result corruption will end automatically. We should not drive cars in the night in order to control fuel consumption but the Oil PSUs have the freedom to suffer losses and the government has the freedom to increase oil prices. 

Will our control on the consumption of OIL stop this moronic government from looting us? Come'on guys, are you living in fairyland or what?

Terror has no religion
This is one of the most popular arguments of seculars. Every time a terrorist strikes our motherland, our intellectual seculars will jump to say that terror has no religion. Even Hindus have committed terrorist strikes and killed innocent people. This is comparing Apples with Oranges. 

Tell me guys, if Hindus are Fanatics then what is the extent of damage (in terms of loss of lives) that has been caused by the so-called Fanatic Hindus? While looking at this answer, do analyse the history of Islam and the extent of damage it has caused in terms of loss of innocent lives. If this doesn't satisfy you, then you can continue to live in the Fairy tale world of secularism.

You are not a Hindu if you believe in retaliatory methods of resolving conflicts
Whenever the seculars start losing the arguments, they will narrow down the definition of Hinduism. They will cite example of Gandhi's non-violent struggle against the British but conveniently ignore the violence that resulted from India's partition. They will ignore that Gandhi was responsible for this partition. Then on this basis, how come Gandhi becomes the beacon of non-violence.

Moreover, how many Hindu homes truly worship Gandhi as a GOD? How many Hindus accept Gandhi's doctrine of non-violence as a word of GOD? If that is not the case, then who gives these seculars the right to twist Gandhi's philosophy for suppressing Hindu anger? 

I want to ask these Seculars to name one Hindu GOD who has not resorted to war in case of a requirement. Hindus do believe that WAR should be the last option but at the same time HINDUS should not be shy of fighting if they realize that the enemy is not going to understand peace (OR Pyaar kee Bhasha).

Hindus suffering continues in SP ruled Uttar Pradesh

The recent chain of events that have taken place in Muzaffarnagar and other parts of UP indicate disturbing emerging trends in UP's societal landscape. The events clearly highlight that the so-called minority community (muslims) is not so secular in places where it is in majority or where it is even 30-40% of the total population. 

According to an MHA report on communal riots and crime against women, the state of UP witnessed the maximum number of such riots (104) in comparison to other Indian states during 2012. This is an alarming trend, which if not restrained, could result in further escalation of the conflict between Hindus and muslims. Recent events in UP have further increased tensions between Hindus and muslims which highlight the existence of a strong undercurrent. Eve-teasing and rape of Hindu girls have been the root cause for these clashes (which clearly indicates the application of Love Jihad and Rape techniques to bring the Hindu women under muslim control). 

Please find below a brief version of the events that resulted in the escalation of conflicts between Hindus and Muslims:

Some muslim youngsters regularly eve-teased Hindu Jat school girls during their journey to and from schools. When the girls reported this to their family members, their brothers started escorting them to school. However, this did not stop the muslims from passing lewd remarks. The brothers (Gaurav and Sachin) of the girl confronted Sahnawaz Qureshi (one of the offenders); however, as the fight escalated, they killed the offender. 

Meanwhile, other members of muslim community gathered and chased down Gaurav and Sachin and then brutally killed them. This clearly indicates that muslims supported the criminal minded Qureshi and other muslim offenders. Moreover, they were unwilling to cooperate with Hindu Jats in identifying and punishing other culprits. The Hindus also tried to file FIR but their requests were ignored by the police which was under the command of a muslim SSP. 

As a result, the Hindu Jats organized a Mahapanchayat to counter the growing menace of eve-teasing of Hindu girls in muslim dominated areas. At the same time, the muslims devised an ambush strategy to kill more Hindus in order to discourage them from taking any sort of corrective action. The muslims hid in mosques with weapons and other ammunition to ambush Hindu Jats and killed some of the Hindus in their usual cowardly manner. The killings further angered the Hindus and hence began the riots. 

Till the time, Hindus didn't respond, no action was taken but the moment Hindus started retaliating, the SP government took help of CRPF and Army to suppress Hindu anger.

On the other hand, a number of Hindus from muslim dominated villages and towns are being asked to relocate to other locations on the pretext of avoiding riots. Practically, these muslim dominated villages will become 100% muslim and Muzaffarnagar will become 100% Islamized in another 3 to 5 years. 

In such a scenario, what is the guarantee that people of Muzaffarnagar will not demand independence and call all this rioting a freedom struggle.

I am not surprised with the growing aggression of muslims in UP as they seem to have crossed the minimum threshold level of 20% of total population in the state. The following are some of the factors (together) that have contributed to this increasingly aggressive behavior: 
  1. Appeasement politics through mindless introduction of pro-muslims policies in order to garner their votes
  2. Increasing influence of muslim leaders (who are part of the ruling party) in the state affairs
  3. Growing share of muslim population in various parts of UP
While we can attribute the increasing number of riots to failure of state government, the growing confidence of muslims to fight with Hindus can also not be ignored. The increasing number of riots clearly indicate execution of a plan which is an inseparable part of the sub-conscious of every muslim.

In order to understand the natural sub-conscious plan of muslims, we must understand their behavior when they are at different levels of population. This is further explained below:
  1. When in Minority (less than 20%)
    1. Play the victim card to gain the sympathy of political heads. 
    2. Vote as a group in favor of one leader to ensure that he wins and once he wins, pressurize him to introduce policies favorable to Islam. 
    3. Split the votes of majority community (Hindus) to ensure that they do not get a strong voice on a political platform.
    4. Use Love Jihad to get Hindu women under their fold.
  2. When muslims exceed the minimum threshold of 20% (between 20% and 50%)
    1. Become more vocal about their rights based on Islam. 
    2. Initiate aggression and hostility towards other communities such as Hindus, Christians and others. 
    3. Demand implementation of Shariah 
    4. Adopt techniques such as love jihad, rape and rioting to provoke members of the other religion (in India's case, it is Hindus) and then later on try to show themselves as sufferers in the hands of majority.
    5. Blackmail the authorities on the pretext of "Law and Order" issues to avoid justified punishment for their crimes. 
    6. As a result, the leader does not take any action which encourages other Muslims to commit similar crimes. 
  3. When in Majority (more than 50%) -- (Ethnic Cleansing Phase)
    1. Muslims will start implementing their goals more aggressively. 
    2. Blackmail political leaders, suppress other communities and implement Shariah in spite of secular governments. 
    3. Make life of minorities miserable through kidnap, rape and forced marriages of Hindu females with Muslim males. 
    4. Provide all facilities to people of their religion but ignore Hindus, Christians or others. 
    5. Ask Hindus to convert to Islam to be able to get better education, roads, infrastructure and finance. 
    6. Convert Hindus or murder them to ensure the hegemony of Islam
Currently, muslims are at level 2 in UP; however, they have already initiated suppression of Hindus to gain control of the state. This is primarily because the ruling party (SP) is under strong influence of some muslim leaders (Azam Khan). "Law and Order" is in bad shape and a number of riots have taken place under the leadership of Akhilesh Yadav.  

The immediate rectification of UP situation lies in the imposing President's rule. This is because SP is protecting the aggressors (muslims) and punishing the victims (Hindus). Therefore, SP has lost all the moral right to rule UP due to the increasingly deteriorating "Law and Order" situation as well as Hindus' lack of trust in relation to a fair investigation into these riots.

Rape - An outcome of a Sick Society

Rapes have become a widespread phenomenon in India. Quite often, we hear of rape news from different cities, towns and villages of our country. While the government and administration has certainly failed to provide a safe environment to the citizens, we (as Indian citizens) have also not actively participated in creating a secure and safe environment in the country. Government's attitude is apathetic (no doubt) but we are also more or less in the same league. 

The fact that many passersby did not even act after seeing a girl (lying near a road in unbearable pain), who was brutally raped and thrown out of a moving bus, only indicates the extent of self-centered abyss that we have fallen into. The fact that those on Police duty, on that fateful night, argued with each other regarding the jurisdiction area of the crime only indicates their lack of sense for humanity (leave alone the country). And even after Delhi gang rape, we as a society have created a new low in Mumbai. 

Now (after the Mumbai rape case), a new cycle of protests and outcries had begun. But isn't this simply a reaction of our frustration? And can we really reduce the rape incidents through this reactionary approach? I have pondered over these two questions for a long period of time and the answer that I get is that such protests are not effective instruments to force the government to improve governance. 

Protests can get you limelight but they will not help you in ending the menace of rape. 

Rape is not only demeaning to the victim but it is also demeaning to our culture as it questions the potency of Indians as responsible, active and effective citizens. Rapes highlight our inability to protect our sisters and daughters. The consistency of such events also indicate the existence of a deeper malaise that exists in our society. In order to remove this malaise, we must be aggressive in first preventing rapes but we must also focus on the root cause of this disease. 

Preventing Rapes
For preventing rapes, we must develop an offense mechanism that targets the offender OR prospective offender from four different directions, that is, governmental, legal, administrative and societal. A well planned and coordinated mechanism will leave no scope for the offender. While government, legal and administration will play a very prominent role, the stakeholders (i.e. us, the common people) of the society will need to take the lead in the prevention of any such rape attempt. 

Once, we take the lead we can force the government, legal and administrative systems to adapt according to the changing situations. We can force them to create an environment that minimizes the possibility of rape. 'What we should do and How we should do' is something that I intend to take in another article; however, one thing is absolutely clear that the preventing rape has to start with strong measures that are taken at societal level. 

A crime whose origin is the Society has to end with the help of Society only.

Target the Root Cause 
Once we have established a safe and secure environment for the citizens, then our target will be the root cause of such crimes. It is difficult to identify a single reason responsible for these crimes, therefore, in my viewpoint, a number of negative influences have collaborated to give rise to this evil. This is the principal reason for the spurt in the number of rape incidents. However, I would definitely like to highlight the negative influences that have led to such a situation:

Lack of adequate education for all 
Education is important because it not only improves the knowledge of the people (specifically, the kids) but it also helps them to give shape to their conduct in the society. While getting good marks is relevant in a competitive society, one can not ignore values to stay in competition. In India, kids education has to improve across variety of areas, for example, aptitude identification and development, grades, personality development, and values. While the teachers play a very prominent role, it is the family which is a more fertile ground for value based education. 

Erosion of values (at the family level) during the early stages of a child
Scientific research has proved that a child is most receptive to learning new things during the first five years of his life. While a person learns the entire life, his rate of learning and the ability to grasp new concepts declines as he becomes older. The learning in the formative years primarily comes from the family, therefore, the onus of social conduct of an adult is more with the family. The growing dominance of materialism and fulfillment of desires has resulted in a 'No holds barred' attitude. As a result, every family has become more focused on desire fulfillment which has facilitated the process of giving up the treasure of our values.

Lack of connect with Ancient Indian Culture
India has a rich cultural heritage which has sustained for more than 10,000 years. However, the concepts, philosophies and the beauty of our culture got distorted due to passage of time and our interaction with people from other civilizations. Nonetheless, time has arrived that we revisit our old Indian tradition and reset our living style and habits according to VEDAS and other scriptures. While connecting with our past, we must also inculcate a sense of pride in our identity as Indians. This will help us to become spiritual as well as nationalists. Once we connect with our roots, we will be able to experience a positive change in our mindsets. And this should also help the anti-social elements to become better human beings.  

Perverse and blind adoption of Western culture
Globalization has resulted in the intermingling of different cultures across the world. While globalization has some inherent benefits, it carried some baggage of garbage too. For example, globalization has allowed evils such as Porn, Pubs, Friday Nights, Drugs, Liquor, Gay marriages and Debt-based consumption to flourish in the global marketplace. The prospering of such evils has created an attitude of instant gratification. As India has actively participated in the process of globalization, we have been influenced by these evils too. 

In fact, Indians have been very receptive to the evils of globalization primarily due to a superficial inferiority complex. Such blind worship of Western culture has only shaken our foundations.

Time has come for us to not just ape Western morals in the name of modernism, but to learn from our own past.

Thank You!!
