CONTROVERSY: PK IS NOT OK Back in good time when Steven Spielberg directed “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”, it is was considered as an anti-Hindu movie which represented Hindus as evil creatures in the world; Steven’s imagination projected them so evil that they ate monkey (not to forget Hindus saw image of Hunuman Ji in monkey) brains and drink blood and indulged in human sacrifice. The negative portrayal of Indian Civilization was not limited to western cinema; it deepened its root in Indian cinema too. Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray’s cinema represented the worst of Indian Civilizations ethos; Ms. Nargis Dutt charged him for selling Indian poverty abroad. Movies are rich source when it comes to learning, especially for children; however, if they are based upon negative education they will serve ulterior motive nothing else. Swami Vivekananda aptly said about the impact of negative education-“A negative education or any training that is based on negation, is worse than death. The child is taken to school, and the first thing he learns is that his father is a fool, the second thing that his grandfather is a lunatic, the third thing that all his teachers are hypocrites, the fourth that all the sacred books are lies!” (Source: The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 3/Lectures from Colombo to Almora/The Future of India.)ift.tt/1HSdsLs Jay Hind.. #Namo Follow us on Twitter.. ift.tt/1clITiJ
