FIRAAQ...A movie must watch

What a mind blowing movie by Nandita Das, her directoral debut on Post Godhra Gujrat Riots!

I had watched the movie last night at Showcase on Tatasky and found certain scenes very disturbing....burnt alived and killings of innocent muslims everywhere.

Nodoubt such movies are banned in Gujrat and someother parts of India.

It recalled Mumbai meri Jaan based on mumbai train serial blasts.....

now watch 'New York', 'Shoot on Sight' and 'Khuda Ke Liye' very similar concepts of homicide and attrocities on muslims after 911.

optimist. really do hope and wish that this shall continue forever......

I heard about similar relationship of Indo-Pak nationals in Sharjah opposite Sahara Centre at Al Futtaim towers, where all communities (Asians) celebrate their festivals (Eids, Diwali, Navratris, etc) together and live in harmony and peace.

I like Rizky made you Ash-Dhokla (hope u don't mind)..

BT...Thread....

I agree these are just RIOTS then WHY only on minorities (muslims, sikhs or Christians) and with FULL and strong support from Govt authorities and local administration (police, muncipality, etc).... I referred above regarding no water, milk in the vicinity, army was called only after 2 weeks post riots...testing Power on minorities!

Not at ALL acceptable my friend!

I know people grow with time and their views changes, but Can you ever think about those victims, will they ever forget those traumatic incident and situations....

I know many victim families, who have sold their houses, burnt business from Gujarat/Bombay and migrated to other parts of India, while some have left the country to settle down in Middle East.

It is really sad but sour facts to digest.

Anyways, Have a Good Day.....

I cannot even say I understand how bad the victims feel.. coz I really Don know....

but whtever they feel.. they are correct....

But people those who have not lost anything.. and those

who have not been affected by these bitter history Black marks.... can and should love each other...

The love they show shall not only start things in positive way.. but the positive vibs n love are contagious.. they shall heal the wounds too... not heal but at least help a lot in doin so.....

I could never Imagine Indo - Pak can live with s much harmony as I see here.. if it is possible in Doha... very much possible back home...

VB - Thks to Rizks.. I sound Delicious now.... :)

At least now Gals would love to try a bite of me.... lol..

Thread -

Ya majority the Riots have been against Minority....

The game of numbers... nothing else...

If Hindus were less ni number.. there would have been issues with them.... The society is the same...

Sick n Ugly....

You say Gujrat.. Malegaon issue was also a example... A Army personal involved... tht was the worst thing...

Uniformed people n Extremist is real Bad...

but it is the society.. even he came from same society why we expect him to be different....

We expect Army to behave with the Moral conduct.. you know... many issues are there... cannot mention here....

But then it striked me... even they are from same society... they too have right to be as Sick as we are..

n Still Majority in uniform are better than most of us....

Exceptional cases are every where.. why not in Army then....

I like it in a way when people take out what they actually

think... Even though it is not most of us like to hear about.. But is in mind of many....

Say.. I see it as..our Society talking loud...

And One Soln I have seen on QL....

Hope shall be applicable in World too.......

The People who are on QL for really long time.. Don indulge into Religious topics/fights/debates...

n even the serious ones.....

Not cause unlike we the newbies they where born with Wisdom n paitence not to fight...

but have fought so much.. tht now they are not only tired but have realized tht it is of no use.....

Hope pretty soon all of us realize tht...

And all the horrors mentioned in the above posts by the King n Killer...lol (I appreciate Ksarat... He found K common in Both and advised Ekta Kapoor to them,.. lol..smartly pants.....)

Even you guyz know tht is not limited to a religion....

It is not raped by a Hindu or a Muslim... it is Riot....

Riots are - Man behaves like Animal.....

we need JUST comments and UNBIAS comments...irrespective of any religion....if these thread will go on communal riots then I would request MOD to please delete...this forum.

Two very touching quotes from the movie about those riots by Khan Sahab (Naseeruddin Shah, a music maestro) commented that "I see these riots as Human killings other humans and My seven sur's doesn't have the strength to carry such Hatred"....

You made us speechless dear...but this is not the end of world or life.

We all know very well 'people use people' for their own benefits and privileges; I reitreat that nobody is clean but we could not sit, just observe mass kiling in the name of caste, religion and start discrimination with our own (Indians) people.

When we elect them, we assigned them with certain responsibilities. Forget about the major issues we struggle every day even for the basic necessities like clean water, electricity and proper roads.

Atleast provide communal harmony and maintain peace in our own homes, don't make them Fight for YOUR personal (Rule, Power /Gain maximum votes / divide the oppositions votes) causes.

JaiHind!

Killercode47 ?????? Not seen the movie yet, but I believe the director of the movie is a Hindu lady. She has highlighted the plight of muslim women and children (the most affected)during riots.

You are no different than the VHP/BJP members. Coward.

I'll completely agree to the fact that what happened in Gujarat was insanely barbaric. Many muslim families shifted immediately to Hyderabad as they don't feel secure in Gujarat. Communal riots is nothing new to India. It is strange that people carry so much hatred within themselves they are willing to SIN in the name of religion. The only religion that allows burning humans alive and raping women as sacred acts is - POLITICS.

A national shame...and nothing less that in a country whose very foundation is based on "Unity in Diversity" these vile creatures roam around unharmed.

If there indeed was an omnipresent, omnipotent God and he allowed this to happen, I am proud to say that I have got nothing to do with Him, let alone believe in Him. I am not talking about Godhra alone, here. I am talking about 1921, 1948, 1984, 1992 and all those numbers etched in our national conscience.

As I always tell those guys who regularly sell their faith to me, first put you house in order, before you invite someone in. We have quite a list of pressing needs for the land, religion is nowhere near to the top of the list. Yet all we get to hear is that. and we either play along with the charade or be an indifferent, bored spectator.

I found really difficult to hear, when my wife was recalling the events when she was pregnant and in mumbai during the riots; No water supply, no milk for 3 days, mumbai police and army were on extra alert. I still remember my mother's words about mumbai riots in January 1993, she was watching the cemetery (very close) from 9th floor of the tower and told me many stories....

Sir, I am talking about personal experiences and not Ekta's saas-bahu drama serial.....

Many of you must have seen 'Shoot out at Lokhandwala', it was based on 100% facts and no fictions....

victimised and we should have full empathy with those who have gone thru such events. There is no reason to stir such cases but just to make people realise that it is not easy for victims to Forgive culprits/those guilty.

Well Birdie - Like they call them "Islamic Millitants", Islamic Extremists or Islamic Terrorists, I used the words "THESE Inhuman insane Hindus (RSS/VHP). I in no way meant the other hindus since I myself have some close Hindu Friends in India who respect me and whom I respect for who they are and not for what they follow or I follow.

I completely agree with you Victor, hope and pray that nobody faces such horrific crimes in their own lives but some people fail to accept the feelings of the victims and have NO empathy/sympathy for them.

Some even go to the extent of calling it a drama, wonder what would they have done if their wife/daughter/sister was raped in front of their eyes and the culprits roaming around freely in the streets, Ekta Kapoor serial huh?

Such inhuman culprits should be stoned to death in public who commit such horrific crimes, irrespective of the religion they claim to follow.

"Terrorists have no religion. We should not try to justify them, when we see their name with some religious tones like "Narendra " or "Osama" " .... AGREE 100%, no common man would want to fight or kill fellow humans but the dirty politicians make these divide for vote bank politics.

if you meant only the fanatic groups like ( RSS/VHP ) ,

I welcome your message.

sorry, I too meant, only those fanatic muslim groups.

we should not identify and attack the normal persons calling them Hindus/Muslims. It is my advice.

Terrorists have no religion. We should not try to justify them, when we see their name with some religious tones like "Narendra " or "Osama"

Well I said These Inhuman insane Hindus (RSS/VHP). I never said "The Hindus", u should get some English lessons or attend school again.

RSS/VHP are hindu terrorist outfits of india same as Al Qaeeda, so what wrong did i say for which u felt bad?

We should fight both extremeism - whether it is Majority community or Minority community... thats what i said about RSS/VHP but u conviniently ignored the brackets. I did not enjoy any concession /reservations in India, had to find my way through the general crowd based on abilities but thats out of topic here and moreover a personal attack.

Well double standards has no place if u feel we should fight both extremeism - whether it is Majority community or Minority community... then mean it dont just say it.

@Ksarat16: you are in denial mode since u cannot accept the fact that there are Hindu Terrorists, so u deny the facts and find what i mentioned to be a fiction?

Read, watch hear the Terrorists of VHP:

http://india-facts.com/news/daily/2008122170/hindu-leader-admitting-to-cutting-open-womb-of-a-pregnant-woman-and-holding-the-child-high/

Also, read the entire expose of Gujarat Riots :

http://www.tehelka.com/story_main35.asp?filename=Ne031107After_killing.asp

I love my country-India and I don't need to prove that to every tom, dick and harry but cannot close my eyes to the barbaric acts that took place in India by inhuman people(of whatever religion they claim to follow).

I have to say, by far one of the most fantastic comments that I've read ... good job mate... true to say that comments by Kingie boy was not required...and that much dramatisation of "Womb-Torn" And all that dude...take it easy...rather than QL you need to work in one of the Ekta Kapoor Serials...pretty much same dramatization...!!! :P

And Birdie...I have to say boy...that was indeed a really good reply...

It will be an eye-opener for all the fanatics in the country to watch this film. Nandita Das , I heard ,had a wondeful acting. She did the same earier in "FIRE"

( directed by Deepa Mehta) - of which other two trilogies were EARTH and WATER.

But the comment form king007 was unwanted. "these inhuman Hindus"... ??.... Just because Bin Laden killed lots of innocents during WTC attack, anyone can call "these inhuman muslims"...

Having enjoyed all concessions / reservations from India, some idiots reach middle east countries. Then they start showing "their religios fanaticism". They find everytihg bad in India...They are in competition to show "who is more religious". Though they may sound technically qualfied / Egnlish speaking.....their inner most conscience is full of POISON....RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY.

We should fight both extremeism - whether it is Majority community or Minority community.

Well the worst things had taken place in gujarat than what is shown in the movie. Daughter being raped in front of parents, pregnant woman's womb tored by a knife, women ask to parade naked in the streets, kids raped etc etc.

These Inhuman insane Hindus (RSS/VHP), even after committing such horrific unbelievable crimes and admitting it on Video Tape (released by media, Tahelka) roam in the city freely, since Modi (India's Hitler) rules Gujarat.

Gujarat had put humanity to shame and still does, it is a black spot on India's history.
