What is OK for us?
by Sweety A on Dec 01, 2007 02:49 PM

We are arguing for a line in a song saying either it promotes casteism / it is a blow on creativity. I won%u2019t comment on either. I support no political party. But, do we know - how many movies have the word "----------" meaning mother %u201C------%u201C ? We are comfortable with that. Forget that as in movie a situation is created based on different dialogues. But how many times the so-called educated & elite class (students even) speak out ---- in style/ -- --- --- -- (Marathi) as a habit & we are totally comfortable. If we consider ourselves ethnic / educated / elite shouldn%u2019t use words carefully knowing what would it mean. Arguing or fighting against a movie won%u2019t change the society. I feel movies are the reflection of the society not that the society reflects the movies with a small degree of exception. So, we should change ourselves 1st & then try to change the movies. Beyond that any of these words are used for creativity may be just used to rhyme the line. I feel we should adjust with such words for freedom of thought & creativity & further development. If we find it derogatory don't go to watch that movie. But then we will have to miss out almost all movies.
PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE MY VIEWS. DON'T REPLY IF YOU DON'T AGREE TO IT. THANKS
