Great love is faith:
Pawan, a believer of the god monkey Hanuman, with his dedication to faith, traveled thousands of miles to send home a mute little girl who was lost with her parents. The savings he had saved were thousands of miles away from the girl he loved, and he encountered the incomprehension of his future husband. The happiness that was at his fingertips was stranded. However, in order for the little girl to be reunited with her family and return to her homeland, Pawan had hardly any hesitation, and just made the decision to sacrifice his own happiness. Behind this is a deep love, a love that dares to sacrifice oneself for others.
However, this strange little girl is not just a stranger, she and Pawan belong to a different caste, there is a caste gap between them, and to Pawan, she is still a pagan, she is a Muslim, What's even more terrifying is that she comes from Pakistan, which has tense relations with India. Social class differences, religious differences, and national hatred and family hatred are placed in front of Pawan. In the face of all this, Pawan was also shaken. After all, he was a mortal. He wanted to get rid of the trouble caused by this little girl as soon as possible. The sense of justice that faith gave him made him fight in a brothel to solve the little girl's distress, and the sense of mission that faith gave him made him decide to take this matter to the end. In the end, he crossed the social class differences, religious differences, National hatred and family hatred of all kinds of obstacles that create estrangement and prejudice between people, took the little girl and set foot on the road home. Behind this is a great love that is inclusive, a great love that illuminates everyone.
The road back home was not all smooth sailing, and the test for Pawan had just begun. He was either obstructed by border patrolmen, chased by the police, or even imprisoned and tortured at one point. In the face of all kinds of hardships and hardships, Pawan has always strengthened his beliefs and vowed to fulfill the little girl's wish to return to her homeland. Behind this is a brave love, a love that faces difficulties in order to keep the oath.
For Pawan, belief is not just a clay statue of a monkey, but also a great love that exists in the heart, a selfless, broad and fearless love. For this world, belief is not just a variety of religions. Schools, or various philosophical ideas, are the great love that can span classes, religions, races, regions, and nationalities. In the end, Pawan's perseverance touched thousands of people in Pakistan. With their concerted help, not only did the little girl return to her homeland smoothly, but Pawan also returned to India safely. Great love is faith, which is a common belief concept in the world.
Great love resolves social problems in India:
The class contradictions brought about by the caste system and the differences between different religions are social problems that have existed in India for a long time.
The caste system is based on surnames and races, dividing many occupation-based endogamous groups. This was originally a Hindu custom, and later it also infected the Muslims in India. Therefore, the Muslim group in India also has its own set of caste divisions. Of course, Hindus and Muslims must belong to different castes. The caste system is fundamentally a class system, from high to low, intermarriage is strictly prohibited between different castes, and even old and dead are not allowed to interact with each other, even sitting and eating together is not allowed, especially the high caste groups, the lower castes are not allowed. Groups are very exclusive, and for them, associating with lower caste groups is degrading and humiliating. In the film, Pawan and his girlfriend's family belong to the highest caste of Hinduism - Brahmin, so it is not difficult to understand why Pawan's girlfriend's father frequently mentions caste. For a conservative like him, destroying the caste system is outrageous. Behavior.
Brahmins were the Hindu sacrificial class of Indian society in ancient times. The devout Brahmin nobles were vegetarians, so Pawan and his girlfriend’s family all eat vegetarian food, while Muslims do not eat pork, but meat such as cattle, sheep and chickens. , is not taboo at all, so the little girl couldn't stand it after eating vegetarian food at Pawan's house for a few days, and ran to the next house to eat meat dishes, which shocked Pawan and his girlfriend for a while, this is quite funny in the film However, behind this is a very serious phenomenon of discrimination. Why do you say that? Since caste and religion can be easily distinguished by eating habits, why does Pawan mistake the little girl for a Hindu Brahmin? Because the little girl behaves gracefully! Isn't that funny? Is it only the Hindu Brahmin group in this world that behaves gracefully? Surely other castes and religions don't behave gracefully? In this small detail, it reflects the caste system and religious differences, and how much social impact it has caused in India. Even Pawan, who has great love, cannot be exempted from the custom. It can be seen from this that he will later overcome the barriers of the caste system. , In fact, it is not easy, which is difficult for foreigners to understand.
After discovering that the little girl was eating meat, Pawan still thought she belonged to the Kshatriya class. What is a Kshatriya? It belongs to the second class of Hinduism, representing the warrior class, including those kings and monarchs who immediately seized the world, and also belong to the high caste. This is another small detail that reflects religion and caste discrimination. As a Hindu Brahmin, Pawan, Insisting on identifying the little girl as belonging to the upper caste of Hinduism, in addition to the prejudice of the little girl's elegant manners, it is inherently that Pawan does not want the little girl to be a lower caste or a pagan.
The caste system not only regulates the order of Indian society, but also causes a tear in Indian society. Although India has abolished the caste system by legislation after its independence, this kind of thinking is still deeply rooted in Indian society, which is actually very hindering the nation. Integration is one of the stubborn diseases of Indian society, and another stubborn ailment of Indian society is the differences between religions. The most notable is the contradiction between the largest religion, Hinduism, and the second largest religion, Islam.
Hinduism and Islam belong to different religions. Both religions are strictly forbidden to intermarry with pagans, so they are two religions that are mutually exclusive by nature. , is very incomprehensible, I have encountered many times when relatively new Indian movie fans have asked me, why can't Muslims and Hindus marry? I answer because they belong to different religions. Then they would go on to ask me, why can't people of different religions get married? I am speechless! This stems from the fact that China's main culture is very secular, and religion has little influence on us. In fact, in many foreign countries, intermarriage between different religions is not allowed.
Hinduism and Islam also have many differences in doctrine. The former is polytheistic, the latter is monotheistic, the former is vegetarian, and the latter can eat meat. The difference in teaching also determines that they are very different from each other It is difficult to integrate, so Hinduism includes Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, but cannot be compatible with Islam. In the early 19th century, there was a large-scale bloody conflict between Hindus and Muslims over killing old cows, because Hinduism has a sacred cow culture, but Muslims like to kill cows for sacrifice.
Therefore, there is a deep gap between Hinduism and Islam, and the process of history has further aggravated this gap. Why? Hinduism is a native religion in India, so Hindus are basically native Indians, while Islam is a foreign religion, brought by invading Muslims. For a long time before the British colonized India, India was ruled by Muslim invaders. Then some native Hindu lower castes joined Islam, so to Hindus, especially higher caste Hindus, Muslim means invaders and lower castes. However, things were far from over. After that, the famous partition of India and Pakistan occurred. On August 14 and 15, 1947, India broke away from British colony and officially became independent. Since the Indian National Congress rejected the Muslim League's request to establish a coalition government, the Muslim leader Jinnah demanded the establishment of an independent Muslim country, so after independence, India was divided into two countries: Pakistan and India, Muslims moved to Pakistan, India Christians and Sikhs moved to India. During the migration process, there were violent conflicts between Hindus and Muslims. More than 10 million people were killed, including 7 million Muslims, 5 million Hindus and Sikhs. This incident This has caused Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims to be in a state of hostility and opposition, and the issue of the ownership of Kashmir with Pakistan has not been resolved for a long time (this issue will be discussed in detail below), resulting in a general hatred of Muslims in Indian society. From the evening of November 26 to the early morning of November 27, 2008, the Mumbai terrorist attack that shocked the world occurred, killing 177 people and injuring more than 250 people, including 4 police officers who exchanged fire with the terrorists. It was later confirmed that the terrorists were from Pakistan. muslim. This incident has intensified the contradiction between Muslims and other religions. As India's largest religion, Hinduism is naturally the vanguard of anti-Muslims. In this way, you can fully understand the panic when Pawan found the little girl praying in the mosque. For him, contacting a Muslim is probably more difficult for him than contacting a Hindu lower caste. Fortunately, he is enlightened. The words of his girlfriend woke Pawan up.
It can be said that the contradiction between Islam and Hinduism is another chronic disease of Indian society no less than the caste system.
Obviously, by emphasizing great love, the film guides people to transcend caste, transcend religion, and unite and fraternity. This is not only a noble theme, but also a main theme that is conducive to social stability and harmony. It tells us that between people Although they have various identities, they are all the same inside, full of the desire to love and be loved.
In recent years, there have been a lot of theme works in India, such as "Delhi No. 6", which uses a black monkey as a metaphor for the hatred of different groups in people's hearts. On the surface, it is criticizing the blindness of religion, but in fact, it is still persuading different religious groups to let go of their prejudices and live in peace, and ultimately lead to a beautiful marriage between a Hindu girl and a Muslim boy.
Personally, I think that the more you emphasize something, the more it proves that something is lacking, or in other words, the more you lack something, the more you need to emphasize something. The frequent production of such theme works in India just proves that there are serious caste and religious problems in Indian society. After all, art comes from life and is higher than life. But from a positive point of view, the Indian society's daring to face such social problems is a manifestation of its social progress. It has truly achieved freedom of speech and has effectively played the guiding role of films in society, which is worthy of Chinese thinking. , we absolutely cannot express some of our sensitive issues in society in film works. Is it really good to do this? The so-called, want to cover up!
Great love resolves the knot between India and Pakistan:
If it is said that the cross-caste, cross-religion, or the main theme of domestic harmony, it is not so great love, then emphasizing cross-nationality and letting go of national hatred and family hatred, it is really great love! I have to give a thumbs up to an Indian movie. It's really not easy. On the other hand, in China, anti-Japanese dramas are still being played every day, spreading hatred for the Japanese...
The partition of India and Pakistan mentioned earlier is India's tie The cause of Liang Zi, this incident made many Indians think that the Pakistanis are betrayers, just like the attitude of the mainland people towards the Taiwan independence Green Party.
Let's talk about the Kashmir issue left over from the partition of India and Pakistan. The Kashmir region is located on the border between India and Pakistan. It was a state during the British colonial period. When India and Pakistan were divided, the ownership of the state was decided by the prince of the state. The prince of Kashmir was a Hindu, so he decided to join India. Most of the people were Muslims and they demanded to join Pakistan, so the two countries had disputes over the ownership of the region, and three Indo-Pakistani wars broke out for this. A ceasefire line was drawn in July of the same year, leaving each country with a part of Kashmir. That's why when the film mentions Kashmir, Pawan says it's in India, but the old man in Pakistan says that half of it is on our side.
Although the ceasefire line has been drawn, the relationship between India and Pakistan has always been bad. The border areas often go to waste and are in a state of tension. The Mumbai terrorist attack in 2008 was confirmed that the terrorists came from Pakistan. Serious mistrust. Therefore, when he learned that the little girl was from Pakistan, Pawan's girlfriend's father was very excited. This was no longer an internal conflict, but a hatred of the country and the family.
Because of such a historical knot, it is very difficult for India to shoot a work that advocates the great love between the people of India and Pakistan. The role of a Pakistani with great love requires a very broad mind, but at the same time it is not surprising. As the origin of Buddhism that promotes the salvation of all living beings, and the birthplace of the non-violent and non-cooperation movement, Indians have always had this kind of great love that transcends everything. pregnant. Gandhi, the famous founding father of India, went on a hunger strike to protest the Indian government's seizure of Pakistan's funds. Although he was extremely reluctant to divide India and Pakistan, he still insisted on the belief of great love, and finally forced the Indian government to return the funds and rescue Pakistan from The crisis of bankruptcy has eased tensions between the two countries. On June 8, 2015, India and Bangladesh exchanged the land border agreement approval letter and exchanged more than 160 enclaves. This agreement caused India to lose nearly 10,000 hectares of land, which made Bangladesh, a weak country, overjoyed, and India took the initiative. Choosing a decision that made him suffer, but in exchange for a new and stable life for more than 50,000 people, is truly a great love, and this has become a model case in international politics. India is indeed a country with a tradition of great love.
In the face of such great love in India, one has to think of the Chinese themselves. We will never forget Japan's war of aggression against China, and we will never give up the sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands, but isn't it necessary to preach hatred against Japan all the time? I don't want to be the Virgin Mary, I just think that the power of love is really stronger than the power of hate, and if we really want to be strong, we shouldn't live in hatred.
Although this is a work that promotes great love as faith, it does not indulge in preaching, but clarifies the theme through comedy. Therefore, the whole film is not boring at all, with laughter and tears interspersed, making The audience seemed relaxed and moved.
Salman Khan, who plays the leading role this time, is one of the three famous Bollywood Khans. He changed his style of being handsome, showing off his muscles, and fighting in the past, and he played this very heart-warming role, which is really impressive. Impressively, I personally think this is the best work he has ever done.
PS: Pawan's beliefs in Hanuman and Rama are mentioned many times in the film. Who are they? Rama is the protagonist of the Indian epic "Ramayana", and he is also considered to be the seventh incarnation of Vishnu, one of the three great gods of Hinduism. Ramazai was the eldest son of the king of Ayutthaya, King Tencha. As the eldest son, he was supposed to inherit the throne, but unfortunately he was exiled for 14 years. In the forest, his wife Sita was kidnapped by the ten demon king Ravana (the person with ten head props in the film plays Ravana), but thanks to the help of the monkey Hanuman, Ravana was eliminated. After returning to Sita, he returned to the capital and became king. Worship of Rama is very popular among Indian folk, and believers believe that as long as they devote themselves to Rama and recite his name silently, they can be liberated. So Hanuman is a monkey, so Pawan is old to say goodbye to the monkey, and Pawan's own nickname is also called God Monkey. He escorted the little girl home, which is actually borrowing Hanuman to help Rama return home.
