I was a kid when Tipu Sultan serial was telecasted in Doordarshan and like many people of that generation I was under the impression that Tipu Sultan was a patriot who fought against the British for India’s Independence, but as time passed and many scholars and historians have questioned the bunkum of Marxist Historians, it became clear that Tipu Sultan was not a saint but the benefit of doubt never made me see him as a villain.
Slowly the truth about Tipu Sultan was being revealed but this was before the Internet Explosion where the truth was confined to doors of true historians but the Internet has radicalized information, the Marxist historians may still perpetuate their lies in text books but they can’t hide the truth from everyone, and ultimately the truth had to come out.
The phony glorification of Tipu Sultan was being done from a very long time and there were some tiny voices which exposed those lies but they didn't get the same attention which the fabricated works got. The first chapter of "Tipu Sultan - The Tyrant of Mysore" recollects the instance when Karnataka Higher Education Minister, D.H.Shankaramurhty somewhat instigated the most needed debate on Tipu Sultan - Girish Karnard entered the picture with his usual Marxist bile, later Girish Karnard is smashed left and right by Dr.S.L.Bhyrappa which eventually leads to Girish Karnard escaping like a rat into the hole of ‘Fact and Fiction game’ without any debate on his concocted views vs. The Truth on Tipu Sultan. This chapter encapsulates the debate which was going in Karnataka over Tipu Sultan for quite some time.
The sagacious Dr.S.L.Bhyrappa asks "If a historian, like novelist, seeks comfort, what is the fate of the truth?"
Hyder Ali:
Hyder Ali is the father of Tipu Sultan; the author presents us the ambiguity surrounding the ancestral legacy of Hyder Ali whether he was from a royal lineage or from a humble background. The personality of Hyder Ali is lucidly explained by relying on his political moves and strategies, the way he gathered ammunition from the British and the way he looted the treasury of Nizam which helped in raising his own private army which was helpful in exploiting the fragile political situation of Mysore Kingdom and his opportunistic outlook which ultimately helped him to capture the Mysore Kingdom. There is a separate chapter dedicated to explain the incident when Tipu Sultan is flogged by his father Hyder Ali for his cowardice.
Arun shourie was labeled by Shoma Chaudhary as "adumbral position between liberal knight, self-righteous crusader and unselfconscious fascist". Thanks to the Halal intellectualism of Shoma Chaudhary which made her to brand a man of high integrity like Arun Shourie with the qualities which she possess and displayed them in public them recently.
Arun Shourie said "The intellectuals (Lefties) thus have no option but to fall back on one of three things"
1. They just do not talk about the facts.
2. They rely on going on repeating the fabrication.
3. They hijacked institutions to broadcast their concoctions.
The above three things still exist and in the last decade they have nurtured the future generations of Communists, feminists, left liberals and Islamic sympathizers.
There’s this new saying, "You will pay for your sins in the current life". One has to compliment karma for making a perfect entry. The sexual assault case against Tarun Tejpal has unmasked the left liberals, it has changed the mode of desi feminists from cacophonic to silent, and the views of Socialists - Communists are now restricted to syllables. For all these years, Shoma Choudary presented herself as a feminist, who stood for rights of women but when her boss was trapped in the sexual assault case, she adapted the style and narrative of Khap panchayats. Hypocrisy is one of the open secret ingredient which kept Tehelka running and endorsed disgusting feminists and left liberal voices to propagate crap. Genocide Suzie termed it as “Rape 2” and the members of pink chaddi brigade have gone missing.
Recently, I came across a discussion where racism was being linked with the game of chess and one foreigner rightly pointed out that Chess was invented in India which doesn’t have the history of racism. This silenced everyone, as it was the ultimate truth. A feminist friend of mine was asking others to participate in the "Black is Beautiful" campaign endorsed by Nandita Das, my first impression after hearing it was 'Bullshit'. Let me ask you a question, "If someone comes with 'White is Beautiful' or 'Wheatish is Beautiful' campaign, would you support it?" If cosmetic companies have to be termed as racist for coming up with fairness creams, then I feel that even the dark folks who are using fairness creams should be termed as racists and people who tan their bodies too should be seen as racists. By asking people what to do and what not to do with their skins, the pompous activists are asking you to surrender the individual rights.
“Let this be stated upfront. Muslims need not be apologetic at all in demanding a law positively biased towards them when it comes to the issue of targeted violence”
The above quote is by National Advisory Council (NAC) member Farah Naqvi on the Communal Violence Bill (CVB) proposed by the NAC, headed by Sonia Gandhi.
During the pre-emergency and emergency days, Indira Gandhi had close associates and advisers who used to take part in making important decisions over the functioning of the Government, it was called "Kitchen Cabinet". The "Kitchen Cabinet" was accused of favoring a family instead of country. The "Kitchen Cabinet" had ministers, bureaucrats and 'family members'. The family members who are not part of Government took crucial decisions and had to face questions from other quarters. Indira Gandhi's "Kitchen Cabinet" is history. But the foundations for Dynasty politics that were firmly laid continue to go strong even today. It should not come as a surprise that the current Government has its own "Kitchen Cabinet".
The National Advisory Council (NAC) headed by Sonia Gandhi is the "Kitchen Cabinet" of the UPA (or) of the Congress to be precise. There are some differences between the Kitchen Cabinet of the 1970's and the present one.
Most of the members of the Kitchen Cabinet are not ministers or bureaucrats.
Kitchen Cabinet does not report to the Prime Minister.
The 70's Kitchen Cabinet mostly comprised of elected representatives and the current one majorly consists of self-styled social activists.
The 70's Kitchen Cabinet didn't exist legally, but the current one exists on papers.
I am often compelled to think weather majority of us who have the instincts to react to the injustices and prejudices in society(via media) have ever pondered to deconstruct the truth behind the news and the malicious intention of the messenger. Lets us all (if not all, at least most of us) agree that we are lazy scumbags who take and agree what is given to us even though it is crap.
These days, we are being told that social media is irresponsible. The padma awardee journo is one of the protagonist of this movement, when the irresponsible social media was brainstorming the mainstream media over their silence on a CD, the padma awardee journo was quick to come with words like 'public interest, privacy, etc...'. I am again asking the same question again, what offense did Nityanada commit? why was he termed as 'Sex Swamy' by these media houses and journalists who carry morality, privacy and freedom on their shoulders?
On what categorization is Nityananda distinguished which forced our journalists to term him as sex swamy and throw mud on his privacy and under what interest did the media houses report and telecast the XXX tapes of him?. Doesn't Nityananda have the same privacy rights like others?. What national importance and public interest did the padma awardee journo discover in some xxx tapes and why did they fail to recognize the 'Right to Privacy' in those tapes and what made them enlightened in the recent xxx tapes?. Let me state my position on these tapes and such other issues - I am totally against anything which compromises the rights of an individual and which hurts his/her privacy, any act of such kind which suggests to be illegal should only be taken and discussed in court and no trial should be made by public and media.
It was in the 1976 when the authoritarian female, daughter of the author of socialist dream for the country introduced the sacred words ‘Secularism’ and ‘Socialism’ in the constitution. In the coming years the ‘isms’ and the dynastic surname will hijack the true spirit of a civilization and the truthful cause for nationalism.
The great old religion, which has shown the way for the rest of the mankind for thousands of years, now lies in a poignant state; it desperately needs the help of the same mankind which it served sincerely—unfortunately the same mankind is now corrupted in every possible way.
The great grand old religion was passed on to the most untrustworthy creatures on this planet called ‘Humans’, the humans of the 21st century have broken the sacred fabric of trust with the religion and have gone ahead with the infected philosophy which is being polluted with the help of outsiders. It was politely asked to take on suicidal endeavors under the delusion of ‘Brotherhood’. By the way, the word ‘Brotherhood’ is the joke of the century—of course, when seen in contrast. This great religion which is the pure offspring of Mother Nature has accepted Atheism, Nihilism and Agnosticism has also shown tolerance and carried the seeds of ‘Secularism and harmony’ for greater good of the mankind. The seed of Secularism has grown into a rose plant, everyone was overwhelmed by the so called beauty of the rose flower but the thorns which came with the flower were ignored, which would eventually guide them to the path of disaster.
Does this great religion still hold the right to be called as ‘Great’? Was its own mistake to trust a heinous race like humans? Or the followers of this religion are to be blamed for getting deceived by its counterparts in the name of Secularism? Or is it the wicked conspiracy successfully pulled off by the pseudo intellectual, who have always advocated that every religion is equal and have cleverly hampered the common man from practicing his common sense. ‘Is every religion equal?’ Or shall I put this sacrilegious question in a more rational perspective – ‘How can every religion be equal?’
I fail to fathom the helplessness of the victimized, what’s stopping them from unleashing their revolting skills against this intolerable fraud? Are they intimidated by the liberal claques, who are the witches taking breathe on this auspicious land? Is the majority awestruck with the stinking mediocrity, or got trapped in the labyrinth of hospitality? Did the human race start to unlearn something? or Pondering over the untimely interruption which conflicts with peanut benefits? Did we lose the guts to question this immoral decadence?
Can GOD (If he exists) save the immortal land from this evil? Can the people get rid of this eternal nightmare by themselves without waiting for divine intervention?
Trivikram Srinivas is perhaps the only director after jandhyala in Telugu Film Industry whose dialogues are often discussed and interpreted to enjoy the wittiness. Trivikram who has a impressive background in Nuclear Physics comes with a semi-supernal film 'Mahesh KHALEJA' and it gives an end to Mahesh Babu's 3 year hiatus on Silver Screen.
Trivikram uses GOD as a backdrop and tries to convert the intangible comprehension of the meaning of GOD by mutilating it in a structural format. This huge budget film which was under ustulation by time has been at the receiving end of mixed views. The trademark dialogues of Trivikram are very much visible in the film, he refers 'Barista' as గుమాస్తా and makes a sarcastic dig at the coffee served. Looks like Trivikram is also a bit uncomfortable with the so called independent modern women, the protagonist asks whether the heroine has forgotten to wear a pant when she appears in a miniskirt to meet him and he also points out that these days the urban youth are tattooing their bodies without the difference of gender.
The focal point in the script is about the village named Paali where the people are dying with an unidentified disease, the people of the village are in fear and they look for benediction. Due to unusual circumstances the hero has to go to Rajasthan, faces some adventures and eventually he comes to the village Paali with the heroine. The villagers see him as GOD who has come to save them from the current Cataclysm. The villagers are convinced that he is the GOD but our hero refuses to believe so, symbolism's like flowers falling from a tree, water flowing on the ground etc...he is not convinced with explanations given by the villagers and categorizes them as mad people but the protagonist is sent into a Imbroglio when he gets back the life of a dead girl. All the above mentioned instances and scenes may or may not be on the brighter side of the film but trivikram gives us a very convincing moment when the hero realizes that he is GOD, some might have been disappointed with the same but i don't find any better way to show the realization of god in a human being and i don't think there are any directors in Telugu Film Industry who has a better way to capture it on the screen.
Its a fact that the Telugu Film Industry is facing the threat of bankruptcy of artists who have the intellectuality and who can cogitate over our indigenous culture, literature and epics. Trivikram Srinivas gives a brilliant explanation on his theologoumenon of GOD in 'Mahesh KHALEJA' with apropos to Lord Rama of Ramayana and Lord Krishna of Bhagvadgita. Watch the video embedded here to comprehend the concept of GOD which he infused in the film. His explanaton starts at 6 min 15 sec.
I am happy to find the typical punches and humor which we expect from a trivikram film. Indirectly Mahesh Babu refers to his fans and says 'Expectations tattukolekapotunnau' and ...
" Kota: ఫొను చెయొఛ్చు కదా ?
Mahesh Babu: అక్కడ సిగ్నల్ లేదు ?
Kota: ఉత్తరం రయోచ్చు కదా? ఏ పెన్ లొ ఇంక్ లేదా? "
and the best one.....
" అధ్భుతం జరిగేటప్పుడు ఎవరు గుర్థించలేరు, అధ్భుతం జరిగిన తరువాత ఎవరు గుర్తించాలసిన అవసరము లెదు... "
I have many issues with 'Mahesh KHALEJA' and there are gray areas in the film, there are few scenes in the film which weren't cogent enough for me. Mahesh Babu is good and his expressions are tangential with his Godavari slang. The first fight of the film looks insipid, heroine refuses to give her Armani Scarf but how come a taxi driver wears such stylish clothes? if Anushka was acting with an other hero who is not as thin as Mahesh Babu then i wouldn't have any complaints on her body which carries some extra calories but trivikram tries to cover it by referring to calf of her legs and the biggest disappointment for me is that the climacteric of the film is ruined, if G.K (played by Prakash Raj) is equal to billion dollars, 10 Corporate companies, 100 M.P and ministers then why would he go and kill a single man instead of choosing other simple ways? . For me 'Mahesh KHALEJA' falls short of what i expect from a Trivikram film.
