The Legend of Padmavati

Image
Our favourite couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are back together for another historical movie “Padmavati”, directed by Leela Bhansali. The movie is set to be released on 1 st  December 2017. Ranveer and Deepika however are not a couple in this movie. Deepika is playing the role of Rani Padami and Shahid Kapoor as her husband Raja Rawal Ratan Singh. Ranveer on the other hand, will be seen as the villain king Allauddin Khilji of the Khilji dynasty. The movie’s budget is around 1.6 billion inr and expected to make double the price after release; however, there are a few hurdles in the way. The SRKS organization (Shri Rajput Karni Sena), a Rajput caste organization founded in 2006, based in Jaipur, Rajasthan, started a protest when there was a rumor that Leela Bhansali was trying to add romantic scenes between Khilji and Padami. The organization is strictly against movies that show Hindu girls romancing with Muslim heroes, especially historical figures. “Padmavati” is a s...

Stephen Paddock, a ‘lone wolf’ white terrorist

Image
The killing of 59 innocent people in Las Vegas by Stephen Paddock, a white male, has reignited the issue of who gets to be called a terrorist. Again, reading the headlines of most of the western media houses gives us the impression that a white person can only be a lone-wolf or might have some mental issues if he ruthlessly kills dozens of innocent people. The rule is simple, for the same or even less severe crime, a Muslim perpetrator is automatically termed a terrorist, unless proven otherwise. While for white males it is the other way around. Stephen Paddock opened indiscriminate fire on a large crowd gathered for an outdoor festival in Las Vegas, killed 59 and injured 529 others, but he was instantly humanized in the mainstream media by terming him a country music lover. Despite committing the most deadliest mass shooting incident in American history, Mr. Paddock escapes the title of being called a terrorist, thanks to his white blood. Witnesses described the massacre as “nonstop g...

Mother kills her son to protect daughter-in-law

Image
A 45-year-old woman from Mankhurd, Mumbai, strangled her own son to death on Tuesday evening to protect her daughter-in-law from his violence. Nadeem Naim, her 25-year-old son, was a drug-addict and routinely used to subject his wife to domestic violence. The mother, named Anwari idrisi, was arrested the next morning for the murder of her son. Nadeem married a woman from Allahabad two years ago who at the time did not know about his addiction. Soon after their marriage, he started subjecting her to severe domestic violence.  Five months ago, she left his place after being fed up of his daily violent behavior and drug abuse. Nadeem’s mother reportedly did not want her to leave so she brought her back promising her that she wouldn’t let her son do drugs or beat her again and that she will save her if it happened again. Eventually the wife gave in to her mother-in-law’s requests and came back to Mankhurd. On Tuesday night Nadeem came home under the influence of drugs. Realizing that h...
