‘The Kashmir Files’ director Vivek Agnihotri to get ‘Y’ category security, action taken amidst increased threat perception

The Ministry of Home Affairs has reportedly provided ‘Y’ category security protection to ‘The Kashmir Files’ director Vivek Agnihotri throughout the country. Vivek Agnihotri will get eight CRPF soldiers, including one or two commandos, in addition to police personnel under the ‘Y’ category security. This action follows an evaluation of Director Vivek Agnihotri’s security danger by Intelligence and other security agencies.

The Kashmir Files details the atrocities suffered by Kashmiri Hindus, as well as the subsequent mass departure of the Hindus from The Valley in the 1990s. The film has gotten a lot of support from the central government and states, with several of them making it tax-free. The film also drew the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who, in a speech, called out the gang that is attempting to ruin and discredit a film that is exposing the truth. Several social media users have also offered to finance cinema tickets so that more people can see the film, in addition to governments making the film tax-free and political leaders joining in.

Since the release of Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files, social media has been swamped with incredibly poignant and emotional comments of individuals, particularly Kashmiri Hindus who found solace on the big screen. Many others have also expressed horror at the truth presented in the film, claiming that they were unaware of such atrocities being committed on fellow Indians all these years.

Along with the emotional scenes outside cinema halls, the film has sparked controversy over allegations of reduced cinema hall allocations and so-called film critics dismissing the film as propaganda, despite the fact that all of the brutalities depicted in the film are supported by documented evidence.

Several Islamist leaders have also raised their voices to ban the film. Badruddin Ajmal, the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) president and Assam’s Dhubri MP, had urged that the film be banned. Ajmal, the leader of the Islamist organization Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind for Assam, stated that he had not seen the film, but that it would spark communal tensions.

After Karnataka HC’s verdict on hijab row, Muslim boys march to violate uniform rules, wear skull cap in Raichur schools

Days after the Karnataka High Court’s verdict on the hijab row, Muslim boys have now marched up to violate the uniform rules in the schools of Karnataka. On Thursday, a teacher from an Urdu School, Raichur stopped a Muslim boy who was wearing a Taqiyah cap (religious skull cap) from entering the school premises. The boy was asked to remove the cap before entering the classroom.

A video of the incident is making rounds on social media where the school teacher is seen trying to stop the Muslim boy wearing a religious skull cap from entering the classroom. According to reports, even after the Court’s order stated that the hijab is not an essential practice of the Islamic faith, several girls continued to wear hijab in the Raichur school. The girls were also asked to remove the hijab before entering the class.

On March 15, the Karnataka High Court pronounced its verdict in the hijab case filed by Muslim girl students. The court, as per its order, stated that the hijab is not an essential practice of the Islamic faith and dismissed all the petitions filed by Muslim girl students seeking permission to wear hijab in educational institutions.

The girls then moved to the Supreme Court against the uniform dress code rules but the Court refused urgent listing of appeal due to the Holi vacation. Reportedly, the Muslim groups called for a peaceful state-wide ‘bandh’ in Karnataka and staged protests against the high court order on hijab. Members of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind also supported the bandh call.

The hijab controversy in Karnataka gained momentum since the first week of January after eight Muslim girls were denied entry to classes in a Udupi college because they were wearing hijab. The college authorities had informed that the hijab was not a part of the uniform dress code mandated for the students. The Muslim girls, adamant about wearing hijab, then filed a petition in High Court seeking permission to attend classes with hijab. They stated that wearing the hijab was their ‘fundamental right’ granted under Articles 14 and 25 of the Indian Constitution and ‘integral practice of Islam’.

The controversy spiralled as Hindu students in Karnataka styled with saffron scarves around their necks, protested against Muslim girls continuing to wear Hijab to the college. Tensions also prevailed at some educational institutions in Udupi, Shivamogga, Bagalkote, and other parts as incidents of stone-pelting and violence were reported from various parts of the state. As reported earlier, the students had begun to wear hijab to schools and colleges after they had met the Campus Front of India (CFI), the student branch of the Islamist organization Popular Front of India (PFI) in October 2021. The students confessed that they had spoken with the CFI.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka government is considering offering a second chance to students who have missed their exams during the hijab row. The government is likely to extend help only to the students who could not appear for exams, however, those who boycotted the exams will not be allowed.

Screening of ‘The Kashmir Files’ stopped briefly at a theatre in Kolkata, video of ruckus goes viral: Here is what we know so far

On Wednesday (March 16), the screening of the movie ‘The Kashmir Files’ was stopped midway after a brawl broke out at the iconic Navina Cinema Hall in Tollygunge in Kolkata. However, there are several different versions of the story on the reasons for the same. While some reports say some Muslims protested against the movie, the theatre owners deny that and claim the incident was over two men talking loudly on the phone.

In a tweet, India TV journalist Manish Bhattacharya informed that several people held demonstrations inside the cinema hall while watching the movie. He stated, “The movie was interrupted for 15 minutes and then resumed. Protestors were taken out of the theatre.”

Contradictory versions of the Navina cinema hall brawl surface

After the news came to the fore, different versions of the incident began transpiring on social media. A Twitter user (@HindutvaTeam) alleged that a Muslim mob stormed into the Navina cinema hall and forcibly stopped the screening of ‘The Kashmir Files’.

The tweet claimed that the audience members resisted the diktat and the screening of the movie was resumed after 30 mins.

Sirf News reported, “The staff of the Navina theatre said some Muslims protested inside the hall during the screening of The Kashmir Files. Police said they raised slogans saying the plot of the film was based on falsehood. This led to quarrel and fisticuffs between the members of the two communities. The staff of the theatre stopped the film for 15 min.”

Citing police sources, AajTak had reported that 3 men sitting on the front row of the cinema hall began protesting in between the screening of the movie on Wednesday. The trio also raised slogans, demanding a ban on the movie. This led to a scuffle between them and audience members sitting on the back rows of the Navina cinema hall.

The news report also added that the three men came to watch the movie in an inebriated state and were removed from the cinema hall by the authorities. The screening of the movie reportedly resumed within 15 minutes of the incident.

In a report published by Anandabazar Patrika, the news organisation claimed to have contacted cinema hall owner, Naveen Chokhani to learn more about the matter. Chokhani, reportedly, dismissed reports of any protest/ demonstration having taken place within the premises of the Navina cinema hall. Citing the owner, Anandabazar Patrika reported that the movie screening was temporarily stopped after the audience members were annoyed with 2 men, who constantly talked on the phone.

He said that despite repeated requests, the men continued to talk on the phone. Forced by circumstances, Naveen Chokhani had to escort the two men out of the cinema hall.

Meanwhile, Opindia reached out to Navina Cinema Hall over the telephone to learn more about the incident. A man (who refused to be identified) said that he was not present at the cinema hall during the incident. He also claimed that none have any idea about the said incident before disconnecting the call abruptly.

‘The Kashmir Files’ is inspired by the true stories of Kashmiri Pandits. It takes viewers back to 1989, when conflict erupted in Kashmir due to rising Islamic Jihad, forcing the great majority of Hindus to flee the valley.

According to estimates, roughly 100,000 of the valley’s total 140,000 Kashmiri Pandit inhabitants migrated between February and March 1990. More of them fled in the years that followed until just about 3,000 families remained in the valley by 2011.

The movie based on video interviews with first-generation Kashmiri Pandit victims of the Kashmir Genocide was released in India on March 11 and is open to watch in theatres.

‘Bitta’s dialogues integral part of The Kashmir Files, muting them in theatres is wrong’: Actor who played the role of Bitta Karate

Actor Chinmay Mandlekar said that the dialogues he has delivered while playing the role of Farukh Malik Bitta in the film The Kashmir Files are an integral part of the film and muting those dialogues while exhibiting the film in the theatres is wrong. The actor has said this during a recent talk with the channel News 18 Lokmat.

According to reports, clashes erupted between audience and the manager of a theatre in Bhiwandi over the issue of muting some dialogues delivered by actor Chinmay Mandlekar who played the character of Bitta Karate.

Responding to the controversy, Chinmay Mandlekar said, “I heard that certain dialogues of Bitta were being muted in some theatres. This is very wrong. Bitta’s dialogues are an integral part of the film. It is a character in the film. I have tried to do full justice to that role. So I don’t think any of my dialogues in this film would have hurt anyone’s sentiments.”

Director Vivek Agnihotri’s film ‘The Kashmir Files’ has been creating a buzz across the country for the past few days. While the film is setting new records at the box office, on the other hand, politics seems to be heating up well over the film. The film is based on the storyline of the genocide of the Kashmiri Pandits in the year 1990. Actor Chinmay Mandlekar has played the role of Farrukh Malik Bitta in the film. Chinmay Mandlekar, who brought the role of Bitta to life, recently gave an interview to news18 Lokmat channel.

How did Chinmay Mandlekar get this role?

Chinmay Mandlekar also informed about how did he get the role in this film. He said, “I have worked very hard for this film. I have played Bitta’s role with a lot of hard work. My name was suggested by Pallavi Joshi for the role of Bitta. Pallavi and I had worked together in a Marathi serial. She knows me very well. But like a normal artist, I too reached this role only after going through the steps of the screen test, audition. Some of the dialogues for this role were given to me to read. It was only after hearing all this that my name was fixed for Bitta. After that, writer-director Vivek Agnihotri also provided a lot of literature to develop the character of Bitta.”

About the response to the film

Chinmay Mandlekar also talked about the overwhelming response received by the film. He said, “I am very happy with the response to this film. I think it’s the result of the hard work we’ve all put in. I didn’t think this film would get such a response. The film is currently pulling a huge crowd into the theatres.”

About the preparations for the role

Chinmay Mandlekar also explained how did he prepare for the role. He said, “I was yet to get a role like Bitta in my career so far. So I had to prepare a lot to play this role of a Kashmiri Islamic terrorist. I watched some videos for this. I also got some old videos of Bitta. I watched it over and over again. Apart from this, I was also reading many documents in this regard. That’s why I was able to do justice to this role.”

Chinmay Madlekar is a well-known Marathi actor, screenwriter, and director. He is an NSD graduate and has acted in many films and plays. He is critically acclaimed for playing the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in films Farzand, Fatte Shikst, and Pawankhind. All three films are from the eight-film series by director Digpal Lanjekar based on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. This series is called ‘Shivraj Ashtak’.

‘The Kashmir Files’, directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, has been declared tax-free by many state governments like Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Assam, Bihar and Uttarakhand. The film depicts the genocide of the Kashmiri Hindus by Islamic terrorists that happened in the 1990s and their subsequent exodus. The film is released on 11th March 2022 and within a week it has become a massive hit on the box office.

Bihar: JDU leader molests woman after inviting her to his home, women thrash him on road with slippers

An instance of molestation has been reported in Bihar’s Rohtas district, where Mod Narayan Singh, 56, the district president of the JD(U) labour cell, summoned a woman to his home and molested her. As people came to know about this, they smashed him to the ground with kicks, punches, and slippers. On social media, a video of the politician being thrashed has gone viral.

According to reports, the incident occurred in the Mohan Bigha area, ward number 16 of Dehri city, Rohtas district. On Thursday, March 17, 2022, a woman from the same neighborhood was walking to her house with veggies. The residence of JD(U) leader Mod Narayan is on the way. He summoned the woman from inside the home.

It is reported that as the woman entered the residence, he shut the door from the inside and began groping her. In an attempt to rescue herself, the lady fled to the terrace, where she yelled and sought assistance from others around. People came when they heard the woman’s voice, and she was saved. Following this, the victim went to the women’s police station on Thursday to file a complaint about the incident.

Mod Narayan and his two goons met her outside the police station’s gate, where he threatened the victim once again. Then, in rage, women and bystanders began viciously hitting the accused with kicks, slippers, and fists.

The women can be clearly seen bashing Mod Narayan on the ground with kicks and slippers in the viral clip. However, he managed to elude capture by hiding at the women’s police station.

According to Suman Sarika, SHO of the Police Station, a case has been filed based on the victim’s accusation, and the JD(U) leader has been arrested. The Police are looking into the issue further.

The Quint publishes report saying Ambedkar would have been in tears over hijab order: Here is why he would be smiling, demanding a stricter ban 

Left-propaganda website The Quint recently published a report wherein burqa proponents quoted Dr BR Ambedkar to denounce the Karnataka HC order on the hijab row. 

In a report published on March 16, The Quint cited Muslim students lamenting against the court verdict that upheld hijab ban in class, stating that it was not essential to Islam. However, this verdict has sit well with the supporters of burqa, including fundamentalists, who have been decrying the sentence as unconstitutional and in violation of the fundamental rights of Muslims.

The Quint on Ambedkar

In this effort, some Muslim students interviewed by The Quint cited Dr BR Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, to allege that he would be weeping at the verdict given out by the Karnataka High Court. 

“Dr BR Ambedkar once said that the constitution is the best, but it will depend on the persons who run it. We were expecting so much from our constitution and country. If today Dr BR Ambedkar were alive, he will literally cry,” a Muslim student and a supporter of veil in educational institutes was quoted as saying by The Quint. 

While the advocates of burqa are referring to Dr BR Ambedkar as a part of psychological attempt, besides being dishonest too, to establish validity of their demands, it is worth mentioning what India’s first law minister thought about the Islamic practice of purdah. 

“Burqa women walking in the streets one of the most hideous sites witnessed in India”: Dr BR Ambedkar

Contrary to what the Left and rabid supporters of veil would have us believe, Dr BR Ambedkar was a staunch opponent of burqa. He extensively wrote against the practice of purdah that afflicts the Muslim society, sharply noting that watching Muslim women wearing burqas is one of the hideous sights one can witness in India.

“As a consequence of the purdah system a segregation of the Muslim women is brought about…These burka women walking in the streets is one of the most hideous sights one can witness in India,” Ambedkar wrote in his seminal treatise ‘Pakistan or Partition of India’.

Asserting that the Muslim community bears more social evils than the Hindu society, Ambedkar said, “There can thus be no manner of doubt that the Muslim Society in India is afflicted by the same social evils as afflict the Hindu Society. Indeed, the Muslims have all the social evils of the Hindus and something more. That something more is the compulsory system of purdah for Muslim women.

Ambedkar was also critical of how the purdah system had a deleterious impact on Muslim women, contributing greatly towards many diseases ailing them. 

“Such seclusion(purdah system) cannot but have its deteriorating effects upon the physical constitution of Muslim women. They are usually victims to anaemia, tuberculosis and pyorrhoea. Their bodies are deformed, with their backs bent, bones protruded, hands and feet crooked. Ribs, joints and nearly all their bones ache. Heart palpitation is very often present in them. The result of this pelvic deformity is untimely death at the time of delivery,” Ambedkar wrote.

‘The evil system of purdah causes moral degeneration to set in among Muslim women’: Ambedkar

Mentally and morally too, Ambedkar postulated, Muslim women suffered due to the purdah system. He warned that sequestration of Muslim women, brought upon by purdah, inevitably caused moral degeneration to set in, which he said not only deprived them of mental peace but also restricted their overall outlook. 

“Purdah deprives Muslim women of mental and moral nourishment. Being deprived of healthy social life, the process of moral degeneration must and does set in. Being completely secluded from the outer world, they engage their minds in petty family quarrels with the result that they become narrow and restricted in their outlook,” Ambedkar had written in his book. 

Perhaps, the students who are citing Ambedkar to score political brownie points and justify their demand to wear burqas in classrooms, are ignorant of the withering contempt that Ambedkar harboured for the practice of veil. Far from breaking in tears, had Ambedkar been alive, he would have been smugly smiling and demanding an even stricter ban on the veil. 

Christian missionaries descend upon Ukraine to ‘bring the gospel’ to people suffering due to the war

Christian missionaries descend upon Ukraine to ‘bring the gospel’ to people suffering due to the war

Preying upon the vulnerable has always been the standard modus operandi of the evangelist missionaries. A disaster, man-made or natural, is the time when they look to convert people. Whether it is a tsunami or an earthquake, the evangelists are always there. When someone is broken in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy, that is when they are most susceptible to the promises made by these evangelists and sensing despair, they descend to benefit from human misery.

This very same strategy is back in action, this time in Ukraine, as millions fleeing the war are being targeted by American missionaries for conversion. As the refugees look to cross over to Poland and relative safety, they are being pestered by American preachers asking them to “love Jesus”.

In the name of helping war-torn refugees, evangelists are busy trying to spread the gospel, and convert as many people as they can on the ground. Franklin Graham’s fundamentalist Christian evangelical organisation Samaritan’s Purse was among the first to reach the ground once the war broke out in Ukraine.

“We are deploying life-saving medical care to aid people who are suffering. We want to meet the needs of these families in their darkest moments while pointing them to the light and hope of Jesus Christ”, said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse. So while they are setting up temporary hospitals and treatment centres, the ultimate aim is to guide people towards Jesus Christ.

Unlike Samaritan’s Purse, some other evangelists aren’t even bothering with any treatment before trying to convert the displaced people suffering due to war. Awakening Europe, an evangelical organization with the goal to “save” Europe by preaching the gospel, is treating people just with prayers. In this post on their Facebook page, one missionary posted how he managed to ‘heal’ the bruised, swollen feet of a Ukrainian girl with a prayer.

Missionaries are targeting refugees fleeing for their lives in trains, or those living in refugee camps.

There are several such evangelists active in the war-torn regions of Ukraine as they seek to harvest the souls of those who don’t share their religious beliefs.

Those who couldn’t be there in person, are still praying for the spread of the gospel, and for the success of the missionaries on the ground, who are trying to cash in on the human suffering in Ukraine.

The majority of the Ukrainian population already believes in Christianity, with over 80% believing in one strand of Christianity or the other. However, this war has given the missionaries a chance to target the few who don’t believe in it, with millions of people feeling from their homes and families divided, vulnerable people have become prime targets for religious conversion.

There was no time in history when a particular section was not ‘Dara Hua’ – Arif Mohammad Khan talks to Gulf News about India and secularism

In an interview with Gulf News, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammad Khan spoke on the idea of India and the Indian version of secularism. He was interviewed by senior journalist Sheela Bhatt. The major points of discussion included secularism, communalism, minority status, and the question of Muslim insecurity.

India as a secular nation

When asked about India’s image as a secular nation being questioned for the last few years, Khan responded that those who question the secular image of India have no idea of what India is all about. “Do not forget that world over, societies started becoming plural and accepting diversity only in the last 150 years. This phenomenon of tolerance of pluralism and diversity isn’t new for India,” he stated.

“…Our civilizational journey started with acknowledgment of diversity and pluralism — as the law of nature. India has been pluralistic since the inception of Indian civilization…Indians practiced pluralism much before Jews came to India and much before Christians came to India…So in Indian society, even if you try very hard, acceptance of diversity and pluralism is so deeply embedded that nobody can dilute it,” he added.

Insecure minorities

On the question of insecurity in a section of minorities in India, he firstly repudiated the word “minority”. “I won’t like to use term minority because the British introduced it. The constitutional arrangement was such that these terms were coined — majority and minority,” he stated.

“Britishers refused to recognize India as a nation, they always said that you can only speak only on behalf of your community. Nobody, they felt, had a right to speak on behalf of the country…But as far as the constitution of India is concerned, the building block, the unit is ‘citizen’. It is not community,” he added. Arif Mohammad Khan clarified that community is not an entity in the constitution and it recognizes the right of the individual to have freedom of conscience only.

The Hindu Muslim relationship since 2014

Afterward, Sheela Bhatt questioned whether he believes a substantial shift in the Hindu-Muslim communal relationship has occurred since 2014. Khan reacted to this query adding, “point out a time in history when this particular section did not feel suspicious, did not feel insecure, give me any time in history. Why was this country partitioned?”

Arif Mohammad Khan said that since insecurity was at the heart of the country’s separation, how can this be a new question? And how come these people who have been expressing fear or worry since 2014 have not expressed the same concern regarding Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru?

“There is a certain section who thrives in the sense of victimhood. This mentality continues and sows the seeds of division. I am not making this statement in order to blame the Britishers for our problems because somebody can exploit you only if you are exploitable,” he added.

Future of India

On the question of his worry about the future of India, he stated that he is not at all worried about the future of India. “Nothing worries me about India’s future. India is marching very effectively to emerge as a world power. And the whole world is going to recognize India’s potential,” he said.

“…I am not saying that we have already reached that stage but everybody is recognizing, acknowledging India’s potential. Indians are at the helm in major multinationals in the world today. People trust Indians,” he concluded.

Islamists attack BBC Hindi for using an image of a Muslim couple celebrating with colours to depict Holi: Here is what happened

The British media outlet BBC Hindi took to Twitter to celebrate the festival of Holi on Friday. In a tweet, BBC Hindi said that the President and the Prime Minister wished the country as the nation celebrates the auspicious Holi festival.

Interestingly, the BBC Hindi used a featured image of a Muslim couple, especially a burqa-clad Muslim lady, playing with colours with non-Muslims on the occasion of Holi.

Even though the BBC used the image with some ‘noble’ intentions to depict the colour festival of Holi, the representational image used by the media outlet triggered the usual suspects, who took to Twitter to cry ‘Islamophobia’.

Several Muslim social media users jumped on the left-wing media outlet’s Twitter timeline to abuse the media house and accused them of promoting hatred against Muslims.

One user Umrulayyar lashed out at the BBC, saying that the image used in the tweet was utterly disgusting and shameful. The user claimed that the BBC normalised what the ‘Sanghi goons’ shared with hate and filth. Stating that Holi was a Hindu festival, the social media user demanded the BBC to remove the featured image.

Tweets by trolls

Another user Mohammad Vakil Khan asked the BBC how can the media outlet celebrate ‘brotherhood’ when an unknown non-Muslim man touches the cheeks of a Muslim woman.

Tweets by trolls

Shahbaz Imam slammed the BBC for posting Muslim celebrating Holi festival images and asked if the BBC had gone mad. He said that the Brahmins working in the BBC posted photos of putting colours on the Muslim woman. He also asked what would happen if the same happened with the Hindu women.

Tweets by trolls

Arshad Khan commented on the audacity of the BBC to use images of Muslims to depict the Holi festival.

Tweets by trolls

Arsal said that the BBC Hindi’s featured image only showed their obsession with Muslims.

Tweets by trolls

Another Muslim user abused the British media outlet by calling them ‘BC’.

Tweets by trolls

The Muslim social media users have been intensely bullying the BBC and are demanding that the British media outlet delete the tweet showing Muslim women playing with the colours on the occasion of Holi. Some users also demanded that the BBC should change the featured image and apologise for their ‘Islamophobic’ tweet.

Well, this is not the first time that the Islamists have taken offence to the featured images that the media put out on social media platforms. Last year, the Islamists had bullied NDTV into deleting a tweet that had a representational image of a Muslim man getting tested for coronavirus.

The Islamists, who cry themselves hoarse over “lack of representation”, were upset with the representational image of a Muslim man to depict coronavirus cases. They lashed out at NDTV, accusing them of promoting ‘Islamophobia’ and bullying them to delete the photo.
