We have all watched the movie `Oh My God`[in case you haven’t. You should.]. It was a remake of Australian film The Man Who Sued God.. There are many more movies out there which shows the cruel reality and the black market ` dhandha` which is carried out in the name of god. Anyways, you don’t have to watch some movie for a completely simple logic my friends. But I am taking the references, as these movies are perfect descriptor of reality.
In the Court Scene, “SIddheshwar Swami is asked by Kanji as to how many acres is his land on. Siddheshwar says, “22 acre mein, jisme 322 chote chote mandir hain bhagwan ke.” To this Kanji says,”oh ho! Maane bhagwaan ka poora shopping mall hi sajaa ke rakha hai.”There is subtle use of laughter of the people in the court to justify Kanji’s anti-hindu retort.Kanji continues that he was asked by a priest working in Siddheswar Maharajs temple to offer milk to god to win the case and that he goes to the temple with milk. He says,”sab ke sab lota le kar khade the (implying as if people are waiting to defecate), maine socha andar koi doodh peene waala hoga, log aise gadhe thodi hain aise lota pakad ke khade hain, mera number aaya, main andar gaya…. Andar koi nahi tha doodh peene wala, koi nahi….beech main wooooh kala patthar pada hua tha…..”Priest angrily shouts,” use Shiv Ling kehte hain moorkh.”Kanji,”haan shiv ling ,shiv ling pada hua tha… aur who “pathar” my Lord, woh patthar doodh doodh tha…..aur who patthar ke bilkul bagal mein se ek choti si patli se naali mein se saara doodh bahar ki aur ja raha tha. Maine bola ki bahar koi na koi khada hi hoga doodh peene wala, dekha bahar bhi koi nahi tha. Woh sara doodh My Lord us naali se nikal kar bahar gutter mein ja raha tha. Total waste.” Etc……….Toh mandir mein aane wala ek ek insaan who woh patthar pe doodh dalne ke bajaye kisi garib ke pet mein dale na to sabse jyada punya milega.” Applaud “aur haan maulvi sahib kisi dargah par phoolon ki chaddar chadhane ke bajaye kisi nange fakir ke badan pe kapdo ki chadar chadhaiye jaaye to Allah ko bahut khushi milegi. Aur Jesus ke samne mombatti jalane se acha hai kisi garib ke jhonpde mein jalayi toh uske ghar mein kabhi andhera nahi hoga.”

We all saw the movie. In my opinion there were three kind of audience in India which reacts in three different manners on cinemas like this.
First are the younger generation [the modern one] : They appreciated the movie. They agree with the contents and the storyline. Then again most of them are already following the trends or they don’t care.
Second are the people in late 30s or 40s : They love to see[only watching] not to learn. Then they avoid the content. I tried watching this movie with my mom. When I asked my mom then why do you spend money on god and stuff when there are too many needy persons in the world who can use that money to feed themselves so that they won’t starve to death. She replied `I don’t over spent on God`. This generation sees but don’t learn. Or at least try to avoid the truth.
Third are the older generation: These people feel offended watching these movies. I would have watched it with some old people but I have got none. If you are going to experiment and try to watch with your grandparents, I would suggest you take safety measures first. These people may beat you up with their stick for showing such contents or you might as well end up with a broken telly screen.
There are two faces of our country. The dark face of our county is mourning with hunger, starvation, mal nutrition, and poverty. Part of the nation is struggling for basic needs of life. Children don’t have clothes and food. And there is the other face of the country, where people spread millions in the name of God. You might not be spending millions but your few bucks will add up to a millions of us who are trying to make a change. We know you are smart enough. Decide for yourself.
