Politics NOT ‘Padmaavat’ Poses Danger to Tradition: Ashutosh

It is often safer to be in chains than to be free.

Franz Kafka

The Supreme Court verdict on Padmaavat on 18 December reminded me of this quote by Kafka and left me a bit shaken. It also raised the question whether a film can pose danger to our history and culture.

Even after the Supreme Court’s decision, there have been voices of protest. The response of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh governments also raised many questions. The Karni Sena has reiterated that they will not allow the film to be released.

Viewing an Issue Through the Prism of Hindutva

A question came to mind about India’s Constitution and how it’s followed in spirit – for how long and why should an organisation like the Karni Sena be allowed to ridicule the Constitution and democratic values of the country? Another question is exactly who all are benefiting from this dispute.

Some are arguing that if sentiments are being hurt, why make and show such a film, others are asking whether it will be a big deal if one movie doesn’t see the light of day. The larger question is when there is a conflict between state and religion and the entire issue is viewed through the prism of Hindutva, then who should be listened to and who should be given a priority over the other.

Questions like these are bound to be raised in any democratic society. In an autocratic setup questions like these would have never come up; there are no debates and all discussions have to be within specified limits; crossing the lakshman rekha amounts to putting one’s life at risk.

So, I am proud that in a democratic country like ours, we are having a debate on the movie Padmavaat. However in a democracy, not only are debates needed even the logical culmination of such discussions is also necessary. With the Supreme Court verdict, this debate is now over – but it doesn’t seem so.

Historical Evidence About Padmavati

Padmaavat had hit the headlines for the first time when incidents of vandalism were reported from its sets and the film’s director Sanjay Leela Bhansali was beaten up. Then came the statements from politicians. Some said that it was an insult to Mata Padmavati who was a symbol of Rajput pride.

Padmavati chose to jump into fire as she performed jauhar instead of surrendering to Alauddin Khilji. There were few who glanced through history and said that Padmavati never ever existed; she was just a poet’s imagination hence the entire debate is pointless.

Others said that Padmavati, as imagined by Malik Muhammad Jayasi, came into existence a century later after Alauddin Khiliji, which means that the two never existed together in same time zone.

Few historians exerted themselves further and said that Rani Padmavati actually wasn’t a Rajput – she was, in fact, a Sinhalese native of Sri Lanka who was married to a Rajput king, and that is how she came to India. After this, another interesting debate came up: which should be given more importance, history or oral tradition?

Should Art be Confined Within Limits of Public Perception?

It is true that there is no historical evidence of the conflict between Alauddin Khilji and Padmavati. The fact that she is a living example of Rajput cultural traditions is also true. She is widely respected among Rajputs. They consider her to be a part of their culture and so the issue about whether Padmavati existed or not doesn’t matter.

What matters is that Rani Padmavati is very much alive in the minds of Rajputs and generations have looked up to her with a sense of pride, and through her, have defined their very existence. The question that arises is how much creative liberty a filmmaker or artist can afford to take in the midst of such traditions.

This is the main dispute here. What is the relationship between art, history, tradition and culture? Does art, as part of its creative pursuit, have the right to unlimited freedom or should it be subjected to certain limits? Should art be bound within certain limits of public perception?

I have no hesitation in saying that in a diverse country like India, no one should have unlimited freedom because then diversity would become a burden for the country. There will be clashes between cultures that can result in fragmentation. Therefore, art, history, traditions and culture need to a have a harmonious relationship so that the equilibrium can be maintained.

In the case of Padmaavat, my biggest concern is that no one has seen the film. The protests started based on mere rumours and then clashes erupted. Chief Ministers, lawmakers and politicians began to issue statements. Instead of a film, Padmaavat became an arena for an ideological conflict. A fight for traditional supremacy began and it reached a point where anyone who supported Padmavaat was told that he is not a Hindu.

Debate around Padmaavat had reached a point that if those protesting against the movie were deemed to be devout Hindus. This is a dangerous situation. Even after the Supreme Court verdict, the situation remains the same. Karni Sena have said that they will commit jauhar on 24 January. Is this justified?

Chief Ministers Have a Duty Towards the Constitution

The entire issue has been politicised since day one, with the conflict being projected as Bharatiya Janata Party versus others. Without even watching the movie, BJP chief ministers declared that they will not allow it to be released in their states. The Supreme Court rightly pointed out that state governments cannot cite law and order as a reason to ban the film. Maintaining law and order is their constitutional obligation. They are also forgetting that freedom of expression is a fundamental right guaranteed in the Constitution and it can be curbed only in a state of emergency.

Freedom of expression can only be restricted in extraordinary circumstances. Since the inception of Padmaavat to its release, there haven’t been any extraordinary circumstances that would allow for the suspension of fundamental rights. So, should it be assumed that the chief ministers of the four BJP governed states have been unsuccessful in fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities?

Harish Salve, the lawyer who represented the producers of Padmaavat, while arguing, described the ban on the movie in the four states as “constitutional breakdown,” ie, the government was unable to function as per the Constitution. Article 356 of the Indian Constitution provides for the removal of the government in case of constitutional breakdown in a state.

I don’t believe for a second that the governments of the four states need to be packed off but the chief ministers of the states do need to be asked whether they are answerable to the Constitution or to an ideology, and if their response is for the ideology then they have no right to remain in that position.

Political Blame Game

Here there is another question that needs to be asked. Is it the first time that there has been such a hue and cry over a movie? No. There has been an uproar earlier as well when the BJP wasn’t in power. Cinema halls were vandalised.

Those who banned Salman Rushdie’s book and refused to accept the Supreme Court’s verdict in the Shah Bano case, do they really have a say in this matter? Why was MF Hussain forced to leave the country? Why was Tasleema Nasreen evicted from Bengal? If back, then religion weighed heavy on the freedom of expression; then why is it a problem now when the other side is doing it too?

I know that this question of mine will not get an answer; because irrespective of the colour of politics, they are all from the same strain. They are all wearing masks and masquerade as different beings when not in power. In reality, they are all ugly on the inside. The vote bank politics since the 1970s has resulted in the government acting in an opportunistic manner. This has given power to fringe forces, weakened governments and put a dampener on the freedom of expression.

Today, power is in the hands of those who are intolerant in their ideological understandings, hence brash displays of intolerance are inevitable. But those who claim to be liberals and shed tears over the erosion of tolerance are also at fault. Kafka was right. But more than him Abraham Lincoln was right when he said, “Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.”

Republic Day: Entry of heavy vehicles to Delhi from Noida will be restricted

Ahead of the Republic Day parade rehearsals and celebrations at India Gate in New Delhi, the Noida police has issued a traffic advisory barring the entry of all heavy transport vehicles (HTVs) to Delhi from Noida.

According to the advisory issued by superintendent of police (traffic) AK Jha, entry of all HTVs to Delhi will be barred from 10pm on Monday.

Various routes in Noida are extensively used by HTVs and other vehicles to reach Delhi. Even vehicles coming from western Uttar Pradesh use the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, Dadri-Surajpur-Chhalera Road and the road from Noida Extension to Master Plan-III Road to reach the national capital.

The advisory will be effective from Monday night to Tuesday afternoon and from Thursday night to Friday afternoon.

The rehearsal for the Republic Day parade will be held on Tuesday morning at Vijay Chowk – Rajpath- India Gate - Tilak Marg - Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg –Netaji Subhash Marg - Red Fort

The same route will be used for the main event on the morning of January 26. During the Republic Day celebrations, Delhi will be under a tight security blanket owing to the presence of a large number of VVIP guests and diplomats. The NCR will also be under the watch of security agencies.

“As the Republic Day parade will be held on Friday and its rehearsal on Tuesday, we will be barring the entry of all trucks and other heavy goods vehicles to Delhi through Noida. The regulation will begin at 10pm on Monday and continue till 3pm on Tuesday. Similarly, the restriction will again begin at 10pm on Thursday and continue till 3pm on Friday, the Republic Day,” said Layak Singh, traffic inspector, Noida police.

Singh further said at three points of Noida, entry of heavy transport vehicles will be barred to Delhi.

“These points are Chilla border, Mahamaya Flyover and Delhi-Noida-Direct Flyway connecting road in Noida. However, all other types of vehicles will be allowed to go to Delhi through these three points,” he said.

Singh said HTVs arriving from Jewar Expressway and other roads in Greater Noida will be asked to take a diversion from the spot itself so that they do not enter Noida. This is to ensure that no congestion is caused because of the route restrictions.

“The purpose of our advisory is to ensure that HTVs headed towards Delhi do not enter Noida and are diverted from Greater Noida itself. Such HTVs which enter Noida and head towards Delhi will be stopped at the three points and be asked to turn back,” Singh said.

Facebook grows a conscience, admits it corroded democracy

Facebook has admitted it was "far too slow" to recognize that its systems were being used to "spread misinformation and corrode democracy."

In a blog post today by its manager of civic engagement Samidh Chakrabarti, the social media giant appears to have become self-aware following a year in which countless researchers, journalists and lawmakers have tried to get it to wake from its reverie and recognize how the company's vast publishing platform is being constantly misused – and that it was in part responsible.

Clickbait fake news, disinformation from Russia to divide America that reached more than 120 million people, and similar crap, have plagued Facebook for years. Now some humble pie has been purchased, microwaved, and nibbled on.

"While I'm an optimist at heart, I'm not blind to the damage that the internet can do to even a well-functioning democracy," Chakrabarti wrote in a missive that reminded us of the comedy sketch by David Mitchell and Robert Webb in which two members of the Nazi SS discuss the uncomfortable fact that their caps are emblazoned with skulls.

"Have you noticed our caps have actually got little pictures of skulls on them?" asks Erich. Hans is unsure: "Er... I don't, erm... " Erich: "Hans... are we the baddies?"

Following a post earlier this month from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in which he acknowledged that the Silicon Valley titan needed to spend more time "protecting our community from abuse and hate, defending against interference by nation states, or making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent," Facebook underlings have seemingly been granted permission to question their own mythical view of themselves.

Chakrabarti does a decent job admitting fault. Faceboook is "being used in unforeseen ways with societal repercussions that were never anticipated," he admits, accepting that "we at Facebook were far too slow to recognize how bad actors were abusing our platform."

Self-delusion

But this being Silicon Valley, the pessimism isn't allowed to linger longer than one sentence before he declares that the biz is "working diligently to neutralize these risks now." And, as the post progresses, it becomes clear that Facebook is all too ready to slip back into self-delusion and look to everyone but itself for fixes.

"We can't do this alone," warns Chakrabarti, "which is why we want to initiate an open conversation on the hard questions this work raises."

It is a Facebook conversation, of course, which means that Facebook will tell everyone what a great job it is doing, and you are invited to agree with it. There is also no question as to where this will all end up: Facebook being even better than ever.

"In this post, I'll share how we are thinking about confronting the most consequential downsides of social media on democracy, and also discuss how we're working to amplify the positive ways it can strengthen democracy, too," he said.

The post revealed that the company is at least finally being honest about the scale of the problem. "Although we didn't know it at the time, we discovered that these Russian actors created 80,000 posts that reached around 126 million people in the US over a two-year period," the post noted. "This was a new kind of threat that we couldn't easily predict, but we should have done better."

It identified the promotion of "inauthentic Pages" as the key tool. But its solution – requiring organizations that run "election-related ads" to confirm their identities – ignored the fact that it wasn't really ads that caused the problem. And it failed to define how broad the definition of "election-related" goes.

Chakrabarti also said that election-related ads will be archived and made searchable – which is a step forward in transparency but arguably not by much, and not by enough. Facebook was extremely resistant to releasing any information on Russian-sponsored ads and the stats surrounding them, causing congressfolk to publicly criticize the company.

ANOTHER WINNER! KFC Employee Quits Job After Winning ₹9,43,49,014 On Smart Phone During Break!

Vihaan Patel, 27, from Ballari considers himself a simple man. He has a normal job and a loving wife. Just like any day, Vihaan showed up for his morning shift at KFC, but what happened on his break would change his life forever.His life was never one for stability or long-term employment. To make ends meet, Vihaan has been shuffling jobs for the past 9 months, working anywhere from a temporary desk job to a local supermarket in Ballari. It wasn’t until his morning shift at his local KFC 2 weeks ago that it appeared Vihaan would be “getting out” forever.

While browsing Facebook on his break, Vihaan came across an online site giving away 150 free spins. With nothing to lose and 15 minutes of free time, he decided to try his luck. What happened 10 spins and 9 minutes later would change his families fate FOREVER.

And this is when the story gets good…In one single spin, Vihaan won the progressive jackpot at Grand Mondial Casino, cashing out on ₹9,43,49,014 in a matter of 5 seconds. Having won more than enough to instantly retire in a single spin, her fast food job came to an abrupt end.Next morning, Vihaan realized that he could now finally travel to surprise his wife Aanya who has been working long distance for nearly 7 months."I just didn't believe it at first," says Vihaan. "I thought it was all a dream after Claiming my free spins, I hit the jackpot on Mega Moolah. I confirmed my age & claimed ₹9,43,49,014 in my bank. I was shocked it was deposited in my bank the next day! I couldn't wait to share the news with my wife. Tears started swelling up in my eyes and I knew this was all real." Vihaan left their house with his wife and young child and is now traveling. The family will surely discuss what's next. Vihaan explained, "I am very happy to know that my wife and I can now live in the same city." And while one of the bigger winners of the giveaway, Vihaan certainly isn’t the only one to cash out on Grand Mondial Casino's free spins for Indians promo. Since the promotion began last month, over 240 players in India have won money from playing. However, it appears the giveaway will be soon ending as the company has already paid out over ₹1,00,00,00,000 in total winnings this last month.Vihaan said “the face on the salesman’s face when he saw it was me was priceless. He recognised me instantly”. Vihaan said he spoke with the manager and told him what happened, and the manager assured him this was not the kind of employee they need working at the company and he will be “dealt with appropriately”.
Our reporter Anika Sood couldn't help and also tried her hand at the jackpot but only walked away with a ₹9,485 win - "you can’t always win as big as Vihaan sadly!"We have followed up with Grand Mondial Casino and they have said they are not going to be able to offer this promotion for a long period of time, and have confirmed this promotion will end on January 22, 2018
We are obviously hoping they extend this promotion, but it's looking doubtful, so we recommend depositing some rupee and trying it ASAP! You could be more wealthy this time tomorrow...       

Will You Be The Next Winner?
