The Great Parition ( The very concept of India & Pakistan)

The words which are written here is merely my reflections and never meant to hurt anybody's feelings or emotions.

I saw a news clipping about Mr Imran Khan ( current pakistan prime minister) where he asks if Germnay and France can be freinds again after many wars, why India and pakistan cannot be in peaceful terms to improve trade.

A thought always cross my mind regarding the very concept of India  and Pakistan. Again my words are just my reflections and may not be correct. hope some one can tell me if i am wrong.

There was no India since prehistoric days. There were Big Kingdoms or empires established by different Dynasties. The Subcontinent was never collectively governed or controlled by a single entity until the arrival and raise of Britain. Even then it was still divided into different provinces ruled by different kings and families. For the 200 years for which British controlled the vast amount of land, it came to be identified as British India and that is just for the British. For the people who lived here and even fought against the British for independence would never had a vision of unified India. The unity which was fortified by the passion to washout the English was not transformed into a collective approach of Building a Single Nation. The primary reason was the very striking differences within the people. The Languages, Customs, Culture, Food habits.

And Moving on to the current situation, It is remarkable and commendable feet by the very people living in India to survive amidst all this difference. There is always non ending conflict between people about a long list of issues.

Coming back to the topic, French and Germany relations cannot be compared between India and Pakistan the parallels dont make sense. It cannot be related. 

Movie Review: Sketch - Tamil movie

I wonder why the Tamil movie SKETCH which opened worldwide last week is having such low ratings. This Vikram starrer ( actor who is having a hard time with Box offices for quite some time) ticks all the boxes, Family drama, Action, Social message, performances, Weak but some comedy one liners and once watchable story line and sequences.

I was discouraged to watch the film as all the leading daily papers report the movie to be a waste of time questioning the actors choice of film and roles he portray. but after watching the Movie I found it to be acceptable and deserves much more improved reviews. Wonder what were the expectations of the people who wrote the review.

I am not going to further elaborate the movie and bring up with my own version of review but I am concerned with the kind of criticism people generate on their capacity. I believe the movie reviewer ( I don't know what qualifications is required for such a person) need to restrain himself from atleast starting the review with one liners like " waste of time" and so on. The reviewer may explore the attributes of the film and unfold them to the potential audience because the expectation of people or the approach of an individual to a film will be different.

In a nutshell, reviews should stop rating the film. Even if they want it should be a left as a vote. People who watch movie could come and vote their choice. Audience makes the movie a Hit or flop and not the reviews.
