"There is only one way"

"The Colors of Bassati", see the familiar faces of the three Indian fools.
There are a lot of moving parts in the movie:

"No country is perfect, it can only be made better."
"It's easy to stay out of the way and criticize others. Why don't you change? I'll tell you, because it takes a lot of effort. "
To open the ears of the deaf, you must shout forcefully"
the ardent Hindu who loves the party said, "The protest is not for the government, but for the truth"
"Join the government, join the army, join them, change them" After

watching the movie, I suddenly remembered the following poem:

"At first they persecuted Communists, and I didn't speak because I was not a follower of Marx.
Later they persecuted Jews, and I didn't speak because I was German.
Then they persecuted Catholics, I didn't Speak up because I'm a Protestant.
In the end they persecuted me on my head and I looked around and no one could speak for me anymore."

Short poem from a Protestant pastor "I didn't speak"

Many of us are like the ones at the beginning of the film Like young people, they live their lives aimlessly as they want, and there are also many people who do not have independent thoughts and who do not distinguish between right and wrong. Random abuse and accusations seem to be okay. I don't know when it started, people are numb to the extreme. . I hope this video has awakened some civic awareness in everyone.

Travelled to India in March. The tour guide is also a devout Hindu, and frankly does not like Islam in India.

Before the partition of India and Pakistan, the government let those who believed in Islam go to Pakistan and those who believed in Hinduism to India. However, the lucky people who squeezed into the train finally failed to reach their destination smoothly. When the train arrived, all they found was a full load of dead bodies.
In "Slumdog Millionaire", the mother of the male protagonist who believed in Islam was killed by Hindus.
The tour guide told us that whenever there is a cricket match, Muslims in India are Pakistani fans.
All of the above made me particularly moved when I watched the interaction between Laxman and Aslam. In the play, the Muslim martyr played by Aslam was imprisoned, and the jailer provoked discord and said, "He is only for the Hindu revolution." Aslam
said, "No, he is not for the Hindu revolution, he is for the freedom of Hindustan."
I am deeply moved. Of course, maybe this is the director's best wishes. Hopefully someday Indian Muslims and Hindus can really live together peacefully.
