Why are Normies reacting to Indian propaganda movies?
I don’t know the lore of the crew but is Suraj not aware of the politics in India at all? BJP government has been othering Muslims and making movies to praise their party and its militia that didn’t participate in any freedom struggle to outright demonizing Muslims and any opposition. Most of their elected politicians say Islamophobic things and there has been a push for nationalism. They brand anyone who criticizes them anti national. They are doing this Hindu Muslim divide to win elections.
Now let’s talk about Dhurandhar The Revenge. It’s like the Birth of a Nation after so many failed propaganda slop they created. The current ruling party literally bring people to cinema from poor villages to watch these propaganda movies and have been slowly othering Muslims within the country. This movie is the first big success they had in terms of mass appeal but I think it’s more sinister. It may be a technically good film but it’s filled with propaganda against Pakistan and Muslims. Right wing Indians will tell you this is the best thing in the world because it serves their preconceived notions.
It’s praising terrible policies like demonetization that was done by the current ruling party that caused a lot of harm to poor people who couldn’t access food because they changed bank notes overnight and all the rich and corrupt people bought stuff like gold and made the shops predate the purchase and got away with it.
I’m kinda confused why they would do this when I assumed they were progressive because of Chris going on his cop rants and the rare Palestinian flag here and there. I’m Indian. I can acknowledge that both countries have done bad things in Kashmir. The violence there cannot be solved by posturing or riling people up for war. It has to be diplomatic.
I get the argument that everything is propaganda. There is no way to remove the creators politics from their work. There is propaganda that is subtle but then there is nasty stuff like this. Most people don’t take time to study things and what if this is the only information they get? That’s why it’s dangerous.
I really think you guys should do some research instead of picking anything that’s popular. India is a big country with a lot of people. Popular may not exactly be the best thing when there’s gonna be popularity for any propaganda just because of sheer number of people.
TLDR: This is a propaganda movie that causes real world harm to Muslims in India and praises horrible policies by ruling party.
