A journey without borders

(Opinion)

I've recently watched a variety of movies that delve into diverse cultures and people's stories. I saw 'Jigrathanda double x', 'noodles', 'Chitha', 'Shesham Micil Fatima', 'Apurva' , '12th fail' and 'Kat-hal' (Hindi). A true visuals other than normally we are forced to see.

12th Fail is based on true story, and awesome and inspiring. It show cases the real humans, real busy life, real ecosystem, real system we see daily in our lives. Still only technology grows, system, desires, people are same. Remembers the tamil movie 'kamaali', an IIT dream girl story. The story of the jackfruit in 'Kat-hal' was truly impressive. Additionally, 'Viral Sebi' portrayed a striking parallel to the ongoing oppression in Palestine by apartheid Israel, highlighting the plight of the true inhabitants of Palestine.

This film also initially showcased the anti-CAA protests, shedding light on the boundaries and false narratives created by India's upper-caste system. However, amidst all these narratives of political oppression, marginalization, and the disparity between the overloaded rich and oppressed communities, the core message that stood out was the existence of humanity around us despite such adversities.

May be there are commercially successful movies are celebrated much, definitely simple and class movies even without much famous artists trying to raise the voice of voiceless.

Vaathi, Sir

Another great movie from Vetrimaran - Sir. Though the movie period time is 60s and 80s, the current India is drawn on the canvas of caste, school, and Swamiyaar. Actually, instead of propaganda movies that divide, movies like Sir should be promoted and watched by Modi and politicians. If you seriously understand the depth of hatred and its fake narratives, you are an educated person with true knowledge and common sense. Otherwise, even if you are a PhD fellow, scientist, or billionaire, it’s of no use. In India, teachers are trying to educate and make the generation work towards the progress of society and the nation. But casteism and hatred, fueled by fake narratives and media monopoly, are destroying everything, led by the right-wing upper castes. No one dares to question the foolishness, atrocities, or even the idiocracy. The entire movie is relatable in every corner of the oppression under the current regime.

Narratives - Conflict and Demonization

The complex history of the Middle East, particularly the establishment of Israel, and the global reaction towards the Arab world, has shaped political and social narratives that still resonate today. At the heart of this conflict lies the controversial establishment of Israel in the mid-20th century. After World War II, Europe and America, largely driven by guilt over the Holocaust, facilitated the migration of Jewish settlers into Palestine—a land already inhabited by Arabs. Over time, these settlers formed the state of Israel, supported militarily and financially by Western powers, particularly the United States. This imposition of a new state in the heart of Arab land, without the consent of its inhabitants, ignited a series of wars and conflicts. From 1948 onwards, the region saw relentless violence, displacement, and the entrenchment of a bitter divide. As the struggle continued, Western powers coined the term "terrorism" to isolate the Arab resistance. Over time, this l...

Festivals and forgotten days

India shines with festivals — Navratri, Dussehra, Eid, Christmas, Onam — they bring joy and togetherness. But somewhere in the noise, days that once shaped our conscience — Gandhi Jayanti, Ambedkar Jayanti, Constitution Day, Human Rights Day — quietly fade away. Festivals are beautiful, but they are not the whole story. A society is not judged by how loud it celebrates, but by how fair, just, and humane it remains. If we only remember rituals and forget values like equality, truth, and dignity, then celebration becomes shallow. Let’s celebrate festivals with joy, but also give space to the days that remind us why we are human. Both are needed — colors for the eyes, and values for the soul.
