Nishabd on Godra
March 9, 2007
Recently Gordra carnage was discussed on TV channels and the editorials. As per the editorial of The Hindu, Muslim victims are still leaving the hell that started 5 years back. They are being treated as second class citizens in the state which boasts to be a Hindu Rashtra , in a country known for its integrity. Victims, the article says, are denied even the social and economic freedom. No Muslim is allowed a flat in the Hindu dominant area, even if he is ready to pay the premium. This is true in many other parts of the country-A friend of mine still finds it difficult to rent a flat in Coimbatore ‘bcoz hez a muslim’.
But no one’s bothered much about discrimination-not the UPA government, busy planning the Ariticle 356 against UP government- not the media which claims to be behind the justice to Jesicca Lal, Pridarshini Matto and others- nor the well known social activists starving themselves with ‘Tropicana’ .Hope some of these would open their eyes and give it, at least the concern they showed to the so called ‘racial discrimination’ faced by some outdated actress.

And about what ‘Nishabd’ is doing in the title, I recently watched the movie, which has wonderful performances by all the characters (‘all’ also bcoz there are only 6 actors altogether). The characters are well written but don’t expect to be touched bcoz the movie somehow doesn’t do that and neither story is ment to.
