Why everything has to be political conspiracy or some sort of political connections? Why can the author see the hard work and appreciate women to have her own view ? Why women have to justify for all the good/not so good?
Just because Kangana openly supports the current regime, The Print will publish all nonsensical things. It is a movie, which every Indian should watch. Laxmibai was offered a handsome pension amount which would have ensured her and her son a comfortable life, she refused it. She knew there is no way to win this fight,but she also knew she needs to loose and die so that the generations to come could win the Battle. If a left leaning Swara Bhaskar be playing this role, Mr. sandeep would see no problem. Judge an actor for there acting prowess and not for their political views. As far as lynchings are concerned, they are unfortunate, but just as Dr. M M Singh was NOT telling the then UPA ministers to do Corruption, same way, Mr.Modi is neither encouraging or organising lynchings. Liberals are loosing sanity bcz they want everyone to Hate Modi. We voters are smarter than you would like us to believe. This article is such a shame.
Is the author trying to give a guarantee that no one in India (whichever community he or she belongs to) does any harm to the cow either in the form of beef eating or in the form of slaugher for leather, despite knowing that it is a religious sentiment for the majority?
If being secular means respecting one another’s sentiments, then shouldn’t these journalists put the question to the communities responsible vor disrespecting the religious sentiment of the majority?
If being secular & liberal also means reducing unnecessary violence against animals like jallikattu, shouldn’t they also bring about the religious practises of certain minorities where the animals are slaughtered while alive and allowed to suffer until death?
Isn’t it hypocritical when you ask these questions to one community while you fail to do so about the other community? That is why, this form of reporting is called pseudo-secular or pseudo-journalism.
The author seems to forget that “Har Har Mahadev” was simply a war cry boosting the troops for battle. Why bring Babri Masjid out of nowhere?? Is that not instigating? I admire Shekhar Gupta a lot and watch his “Cut the Clutter” regularly. I will urge him to cut the clutter on this topic. A war cry is a far cry from what’s happening today.
The author is clearly high on propagating his own agena here. Manikarnika is just an upcoming Bollywood film. It’s a wonder how the author has manipulated the entire premise to create a false and imaginary narrative to suit his own interests. Because neither Kangana nor Manikarnika seem to have any political inclinations or undertones whatsoever. And the British were the villains. Get that fact square and clear to your head. The damage they did to us in 200 years of rule, we are still struggling as an economy to overcome that exploitation. So there is nothing wrong in portraying them as one.
The article is misleading and prejudiced. Kangana is playing Laxmibai who has not been exalted like other freedom fighters. Women on top portraying iconic women makes some people nervous I guess. Don’t assign agendas to this film and Kangana’s stellar work please!
Kangana must be admired for her achievements and her ability to defend her beliefs and act on them.
The author seems to be putting words into her mouth. She didnt say people should be beaten up for not standing for the national anthem. She never justified that. Neither did Sadhguru..they in fact categorically condemned the violence.
In fact, shouldnt the author be questioning the totally idiotic order by the SC mandating the NAnthem be played in theatres? What sort of hyper patriotic silly decision is that?
And then, after unleashing this madness, you expect no beatings in a lawless place like India, where we dont lack for violent people looking for a fight and where anyone with some muscle and money power makes the law comatose?
On cows..of course she has the right to revere cows.. its part of our civilisation AND is a constitutional directive principle and a law. Everyone can eat beef, there is no law against EATING beef…but you cannot slaughter a cow in some states. In fact, everyone I know who eats beef has been doing so for decades, EXCEPT it is CARABEEF (buffalo meat) in states where cows cannot be slaughtered.
So, dear author, please state facts, not fairy tales to suit your agenda.
And yes, In India, we need to protect the cow as it is a symbol of our agricultural civilisation.
Also, the environment will be better off without beef as a major source of food..the author would do well to inform himself of the latest scienceon global warming and beef. So, dear author, if you care about the earth and its sustainability, you will quickly stop eating beef. Its poison for the atmosphere.
I am certain the author looks west for his intellectual fodder ( pun intended), so i will cite the example of the USA which has passed a law BANNING slaughter of horses and consumptionof horse meat for cultural reasons ( not that we need to follow the US but since most of the ideas of this author seem borrowed,i thought this example would resonate with him better) .
And ACTUALLY, true liberalism will demand that you not stay out of lunch boxes but actually start to shame people who eat beef because it is simply unsustainable for this planet…yes, SCIENCE says so. Unfortunately, it is a fact.
Get with the times, dear author. Your liberalism will not save Mother Earth.
I suggest you start worrying about Mother Earth rather than fake ranting about Kangana as Mother India.
Thats a real plan for the future …not this childish, school yard rant.

Love kangana. Waiting for manimarnika. Hope it becomes a blockbuster and highest grossing female centric film. All the best kangana!
