Bollywood The Kashmir Files opened, the bandage ripped off. What do you see?

 It wasn’t clean to look at The Kashmir Files. It wasn’t just every other film. Cinematic brilliance aside, it become an eye-opener for all those of us who sat for the screening on the PVR Plaza cinema at Connaught Place. The reality that Pallavi Joshi and Vivek Agnihotri spent 4 years to make the film, with such sizeable distinct studies of close to seven hundred hard-hitting interviews which can be testimonials from first-generation sufferers of the genocide of the Kashmiri Pandits community in the Nineties is in itself no longer a small feat.



I am now not a history main in my formal education. But I have studied history like some other student as a module. After looking The Kashmir Files, it shakes my soul these days that history books, academics alike have skipped pressing at the excruciating and enormous info of the plight of Kashmiri Pandits inside the hands of Islamic fundamentalists. Mind you, this film tells you nothing new. But tells you and reminds you and forces you to assume why we can’t look at history in the eye without any disgrace. Makes you angry once more as to why a Yasin Malik and Syed Ali Shah Geelani were allowed to get tacit assist from politicians and intellectuals like Arundhati Roy and lots of greater. Why those intellectuals who constantly bat for the ‘azadi’ of Kashmir and get in touch with it ‘essentially a call for justice’ don’t see the alternative side of the rightful occupants of the land being forced into mass departure whilst that is their land and this is their us of a their domestic. Three ordinary hours of encapsulation of that trauma is spine chilling. It makes you re-suppose why farcical negotiations were even on the desk while Farooq Ahmed Dar alias Bitta Karate (whose person is performed properly by Chinmay Mandlekar) has overtly confessed to killing Kashmiri Hindus? Why is the conviction price so low and why became he by no means despatched to the gallows or even given life imprisonment? The Kashmiri Pandit’s betrayal is certainly properly documented on this movie and makes you ask this query, why is Farooq Ahmed Dar, the self-admitted butcher of Kashmiri Pandits nevertheless roaming scot-free?
