Remembering Allama Iqbal:

For the past many days I have been thinking about Iqbal's two famous quotes,
one being:
Kuch baat hai ki hasti mit-tee nahi hamari,
Sadiyon se raha hai dushman daure-zaman hamara.

And then,
Vatan ki fikr kar naadaan museebat aane wali hai,
Teri barbadiyo ke mashwure hain aasmano me,
Na samjhoge to mit jaaoge aye hindostan walon,
Tumhari dastaan bhi naa hogi dastaano me.

I can't solve this dilemma, if our existence can't be erased easily why should we worry, right from Vedic age people came to India, some settled here and enriched it in someway or other. Even those who went back, they too enriched India. Our cultural continuity is intact while all other ancient civilizations are now a part of history. Or is this plain myth created by scholars.

I am no expert in history but as far as I know stiff resistance and use of force have never been a part of our history barring a few exceptions. What we had in plenty was infighting and small kingdoms, all over the country.

When a poet like Iqbal says 'Watan ki fikr kar naadaan' what does it signify, we by default neglect/ignore our nation and nationality, or we simply don't care about it (use of the word 'fikr'), we are so engrossed in our daily lives that a detached perspective is impossible for us. Did it emerge from the frustration and anger of being unable to eliminate the inaction and indifference from fellow citizens. What was it that made him write this?

Is it not something that I can identify with, a part of me says nothing will change, go back enjoy your life but the other part says have patience God takes tests before granting wishes.

Whatever it is, I can't get past this dilemma, which statement is correct or which one carries more weight if both are true.

Am I fooling myself. . . .

I just recalled this point, Even (if I remember correctly) Gandhiji too criticized this independent nature of the little republics (our villages) being a hurdle to socio-religious reforms.

Are we still living in these little republics or have we made the big republic called India by merging these.

JAAGO INDIA. . . .!

Clip showing: Daler Mehndi singing Jaago India !



LAWYER FILES CASE AGAINST DALER MEHNDI FOR THE SONG JAAGO INDIA:
“I have filed a criminal case against Daler as the lyrics of his song ‘Jaago India’ sounds demotivating and is in bad taste. The lyrics of his song abuse people of the country, which is completely objectionable and is not in the interest of the nation,” Kunjaraman told IANS here Wednesday.

“I decided to file a case against the singer and take it further for the interest of the people,” Kunjaraman added.(READ FULL STORY HERE)

'Prabhu' Kunjaraman people in many districts of my state Madhya Pradesh are dying of hunger, my own city is facing water shortages but bore wells are being dug every minute, your activism is desperately needed here, let them sing a song and do the ding-dong, LETS SOLVE THE REAL ISSUES!

ANY TAKERS OF MR. KUNJARAMAN !

ARE THE LYRICS IN BAD TASTE & OBJECTIONABLE?

Lyrics (of Jaago India sung by Daler Mehndi for the album Mission Shanti):

Tum saare sote raho, Maarne wale maar rahe hain,

Tum 'saale'/saare sote raho, Maarne wale maar rahe hain,

Tum 'saalon'/saaron rote raho, Maarne wale maar rahe hain,

Tum 'saalon'/sab rote raho, Maarne wale maar rahe hain,

ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago India.

ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago India.

Mazhab nahi...

Tum sab lut-tay raho, lootne wale loot rahe hain,

Tum sab lut-tay raho, lootne wale loot rahe hain,

Tum sab pit-tay raho, peetne wale peet rahe hain,

Tum sab pit-tay raho, peetne wale peet rahe hain,

Allah te...

ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago India.

ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago ae.. Jaago India.

Sare jahan se achcha...

Tabu, CM’s (Mule’s) daughter, is kidnapped by an extremist group that seeks freedom of its members from jails. The group’s leader is Sunil Shetty, son of a rich businessman (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) and the past love interest of Tabu.

The story then proceeds in flashbacks, how they met, what went inside their lives and their minds, how a school teacher rose through the corridors of power becoming the CM, the businessman’s obsession with his business and the extent to which he can go for profits. Then there is a basti, which is frequented by these two, how they meet Bhau (Patekar) and how he influences them.

Patekar through his political satire, his devotion to work for people selflessly makes him extremely popular, at first he acts as a messenger of people then gets fed up by the system and decides to contest the election. Mule’s political guru present CM Agashe convinces her to fight the elections as he knows he will lose. Angered by the defeat Mule gets Agashe killed with the help of Kharbanda, and grabs the CM’s post through sympathy. She also plans riots in Patekar’s village and gets him arrested and brutally tortured by the police, he loses all sense of reality when he comes out of jail.

The protagonists unite once again to deliver justice to all the innocent people who suffered by the deeds of their parents, they become suicide attackers and kill their parents in a public rally.

You may call the film mediocre, dragging, lengthy but I see something good in it. Eventhough the songs are not catchy they are true. Gulzar gets Patekar’s character say what a common man has to say on present day polity of India. The Corruption, Selfishness, Greed, Hunger of Power, Illegitimate Relations, The Conflict of being a corrupt person’s child, The Latent Dissent with such live all are seen in this movie. Although this idea has been shown in many other movies I see this movie connected to Rang De Basanti which I think is based on the films The Legend of Bhagat Singh (Ajay Devgan) and Hu Tu Tu (Nana Patekar).

So this is the story of Hu Tu Tu, as I remember, hope you like it.
