Article 15: The Tale, Tribulation and Trial

इस आर्टिकल को हिंदी में पढ़ने के लिए यहाँ जाएं: आर्टिकल 15: घटना, दुर्घटना और न्याय की दास्तान


The Constitution of India clearly states that we are all equal, but despite that being the first line in the abiding document at all times, we as Indians are always divided by our religion, and location. It's no wonder that we take pride in being a Marathi, Bihari, or something else, before being an Indian. Religion has broken us more than uniting us, and that isn't the only reason why we take immense pride in being segregated by our castes more than the work.

In North India, and overall in the country, people are addressed as Shukla Ji, Pandit Ji, or even at times Kanyakubj among others. This casteism has plagued us more than plague actually could. Article 15 looks into this aspect of our being, and how we put caste over other things, including our duty.

The trailer was captivating, and the tale was based on true events that took place in U.P. sometime back. A lot is happening in the country, and people are facing the wrath of beef, caste, and other aspects. There was a recent video that surfaced via Twitter User Zainab Sikander where she showcased how in 2019, we are still stuck to our old mindset.

Article 15 movie trailer raises questions on the legal, feudal, patriarchal, and social issues that we are tainted with as a society. While the movie is based on facts and true events, one needs to take time and ponder over why in the age when we are shooting for the moon, the pseudo minds still continue to rot us. Now, let me put it straight that I am not raising concern over the political system, or anything else, but you know better of all people, who rot us and how.

It is important that more than showing pity on what happened and applaud the bravery of the officer, writer as well as director, let's change the mindset.

Better prevent and prepare, than repent and repair in the long run.

If you missed the trailer, watch it below, and do share your thoughts.

Why every subject based movie like 'Ram Ki Janmabhoomi' is opposed in India?

'Ram Janmbhoomi' is a movie slated for release on the 29th of March, and even before the movie could see rhe light of the day, controversies surrounding the movie have started to show up. Recently a fatwa against the movie was issued, and the fact that people decided to issue a fatwa without knowing the facts confirms two things, one that people are ready to believe into controversy, and second that they don't get to the facts, and believe in hyping things without value. I recently had the opportunity to speak to a reliable source who has been associated with it in various ways, namely actor in a supporting and various backstage roles, noted that the movie is based on a discussion and the representation of the characters doesn't hurt the sentiments of anyone, instead it initiates a conversation, which is the essence of a country where people can discuss and talk about issues. After the discussion, I was left to ponder over the fact that we have been so loosene
