What is important Worship or place of worship ?


These days everyone is talking about Ayodhya and its upcoming verdict, but sad part is most of us are bothered about Holiday on the day of verdict, rather than gravity of issue and post verdict concerns of the issues for a common man. It is a political & power game issue and a common citizen from any religion has no interest in custody of Ayodhya land.

Recently during few conversations I realized that many of us aren’t even aware about the facts on the issue. Without being biased and without any intention to hurt sentiments of others, I would like to throw some light on this issue.

Ayodhya issue is related to piece of land which has a disputed structure as its center. This area of land known as Ram Janmbhumi (Birth place of Lord Rama) is considered to be a sacred place according to Hindu belief and had a temple from the ancient times. According to many historical notes during Mughal invasion of India in early 16th century the temple was demolished/ modified and a mosque, now known as “Babri Masjid” was built in the same place, which was named after Mughal emperor Babar.

Before 1940 the place was known as Masjid-i-janmasthan and it is been said that Hindus and Muslims both use to worship together in disputed structure till mid 19 century. In year 1885, Mahant Raghubar Ram moved the courts for permission to erect a temple just outside the Babri Masjid premises but District Judge dismissed the case citing the passage of time. Hindus in the area were claiming that the Mosque had not been used by Muslims since 1936, and they took over the 'unused' mosque in 1949.

In 1984 Vishwa Hindu Parishad (a religious Hindu association) launched a movement to reclaim the site for Hindus who want to erect a temple dedicated to the lord Rama. During 1989-90, inauguration of a proposed new grand Temple with Government permissions, led to politically motivated religious unrests in many parts of India and Government moved court. The temple movement took momentum with Karsevaks (Hindu volunteers) pouring into Ayodhya. Many political parties, religious leaders from both communities made situation worse by national calls, rallies & remarks on disputed structure and thus provoking the religious sentiments.

On 6 December 1992, a mob of karsevaks demolished the structure despite a commitment by the government to the Indian Supreme Court that the mosque would not be harmed, which led to riots & unrest in many parts of country killing over 2000 people. On 16 December 1992, Government set Liberhan Commission to probe the circumstances that led to the demolition of Babri structure. It has been longest running commission in India's history with several extensions granted by various governments.

On February 27, 2002 around 58 people were killed in Godhra, Gujarat, in an attack on a train believed to be carrying Hindu volunteers from Ayodhya. Riots followed in the state and over 1000 people were reported to have died in riots.

God only knows how many people have lost their lives, home, livelihood and their loved ones. Time & again this issue is raised for personal interest by national leaders and common men who do not have any interest in the issue suffer. Both religions have sentiments with structure in Ayodhya, so a common solution is required.When GOD IS EVERYWHERE and FOR EVERYONE, then why so much confusion? Why a hospital or a public facility center cannot be built at the disputed place, which can serve people in need rather than serving religion.

It’s my sincere request to you all “please don’t get provoked or influenced by any political & religious speech. Worship is valued with intention with which one prays not with place where you pray”.

UDAAN :"the new flight of Indian Cinema"


UDAAN: Another classic example of the grand constructive shift in Indian Cinema. I would rather call it “new Flight of Indian Cinema” because it reflects the new approach of world class cinema.

UDAAN narrates the tale of many of youths from middle-class families. It is the story of agony and breaking away to fly the kite of one’s dreams. It portrays the varied shades of human emotions. Many a times in life we have to give up or bow down to someone, much against our will.
UDAAN tells a story of a son who is almost on an extended custody under his disciplinarian father’s domain. After being expelled from boarding school, and he has to live with his authoritarian, dictatorial father. Much against his aspiration of being a writer, he is forced to study engineering and work part-time in his father. The dictator rule of his father cuts off all the independence he enjoyed in his school days. As life turns more and more complex under the roof of his dominating father, he makes his own way to his Journey. Udaan doesn’t only restrict the father-son divide till the academic expectations that parents have from their children. It is an emotionally charged film that sometimes moves you to tears.

ABHAY DEOL - "The new face of Indian Cinema"

Indian cinema is changing, and along with it evolving many personalities which represent the face of new Indian cinema. Among them is Abhay Deol, the most unconventional actor of hindi Cinema today who is not afraid of taking risks in roles he opts for. Even after being from the one of the most impactful DEOL family of commercial cinema, Abhay have developed a niche for himself which differentiates him from other actors.

He is the actor of today’s multiplex cinema; his roles cater to the youth of society with the heavy touch of reality and unconventional non filmy style of acting. Consider any of his roles and you will find it very near to reality. Be it Ankush of “Aahista Aahista”, the super thief from “Oye lucky lucky Oye”, or dev from “Dev D”, he has offered a variety always.

Abhay is a thinking actor and has done majority of work with debutant directors; rather unusual and daring in the context of “Star driven” hindi film industry. One can understand Abhay’s philosophy about his progress from the fact that he took more than 8 years to enter film industry just because he wanted to complete his studies first. After graduating from Mumbai University, Abhay headed to Los Angeles and studied Fine Arts. After completing a two year acting course, Abhay answered to his Bollywood calling making his debut with Imtiaz Ali directed “Socha naa tha” in 2005. His second film was “Ek Chalis ki last local” followed by “Manorama 6 feet under” which won the Best Film at the Mahindra Indo-American Arts Council Film Festival in New York City. Dev.D, directed by Anurag Kashyap, in 2009 and was critically acclaimed and was a big box office success.

Barely 10 films old Deol has been the cover of Man's World and Time Out Mumbai, with titles such as "the new face of Indian cinema". He placed seventh on Zoom's "50 Most Desirable Hotties" poll for 2009. He has often been described in the media as the thinking women's sex symbol.

After framing the story for Dev D , Abhay is all set to debut as producer with much awaited ”BASRA”. Hope to see some unconventional entertaining stuff from producer Abhay.
