They all come to India with a list of what they need. Time to start asking what we want in return.

Sorry but this doesn't warrant a national debate. Media is now taking bits & pieces from social media for engagement.
Do your work dude.
Film Ramayana Faces Faith Test
One cannot have a Bulbul Tarang and have a Qawwali in the middle of a Ramayana. That's crossing a red line and that's what A.R. Rahman has done: @KARAN_author
In Bisrakh, Greater Noida, people do not celebrate Dussehra or burn an effigy of Ravana. They feel he is their ancestor and they see the good qualities in him...: @VivekSrivastav_ tells @roypranesh

Most of you want a Marvel/DC out of our Itihasa & Puranas, sorry not happening.
Our stories are about Dharma, spirituality embedded in countless tales. Yes not only it ribal but actually obliterates Western mythology & Comics, but our filmmakers aren't equipped to research it.

My ancestors carried their Hindu traditions from India to the Caribbean, preserving Diwali across generations. They didn't do that because they identified as "South Asian."
They did it because they were Hindu.
Celebrate Diwali all you want. But don't lecture Hindus about how we're allowed to describe our own festivals.
Diwali is a Hindu festival.

jeeta fuck ur dog, lock that little shit in bathrom
The world is celebrating Diwali by bursting crackers. My dog is spending the night hiding under the bed, trembling in fear.
Meanwhile, people with asthma are breathing polluted air, elderly people and babies are struggling with the noise, heart patients may experience distress, and birds and stray animals have nowhere to escape.
At what point did our idea of celebration become so insensitive to the people and living beings around us?
Your celebration shouldn’t have to come at the cost of someone else’s health, peace or well-being.
And before anyone makes this about religion or communalism, I celebrate Diwali too. This isn’t about religion. It’s about basic civic sense and empathy.

Norse culture died a long time back.
Greeks today think their God is Jesus, not Zeus.
Egyptians- Fully Islamised. They have nothing to do with Horus/Isis anymore.
Hindus are still living their culture. Still celebrating worshipping Ram.
Distorting it warrants response.
Marvel twisted Norse mythology in the Thor saga. Scandinavians didn't batter a lid.
Many movies like Hercules changed Greek mythology. Athens didn't mind.
Egyptians didn't curse Hollywood for changing references from its glorious history.
Local stories went global.
Ramayan may be a horrendous movie with multiple wrong references. But opposing it serves India nothing.

Clown deserved the FIR that was filed by Fadnavis' chelas against him.
Trust me on this. If even someone decided to make a movie 100% true to Valmiki Ramayana, Indians won’t digest it.
1. Ramayana getting angry, threatening to destroy the world
2. Childish and hyper-angry Laxman threatening to kill his own parents
3. Ravana pulling Seetha by hair and abusing her physically while kidnapping
4. Land and sky becoming red as Rama destroyed asuras single-handedly
Absolute violence fest. But hey! We must apparently stay true to scriptures!
