Review On ‘Aftershocks of Democracy’

     Aftershocks is about the transformation of the Welfare State into an ally of the Corporation. It examines the acquisition/ displacement of two earthquake-affected villages for lignite mining and power generation. It probes the microcosm in the nature of a study of globalisation of Economy and corporatization of Democracy
    This film is set in Julrai and Umarsar , two villages in Lakhpat, near the India Pakistan border, close to the Gujarat coast, and too far away from Bhuj to be in focus. Umarsar is an upper caste Durbar village, while Julrai's entire population comprises low class Rabbaris, semi-nomadic shepherds, who began to settle down into permanent villages only in the last couple of hundred years. The two villages have nothing in common except that both were almost equally destroyed during the earthquake. The Government-controlled Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation has a monopoly over any mining activity in the region. GMDC is likely to be privatized completely over the next few years; 26% of its shares were sold to corporates, financial institutions and investors in 1997-98
     The film is a hitchiker's journey through the labyrinthine universe of Democracy, as it exists in its lowest unit level - the Indian village.

Review On ‘Firaaq’

     Firaaq is a documentary based on the journey of the people who affected during the Riots and what are the problems they faced in the Riots

     The documentary has shown in such a way that the person can feel really very blesses that they are the one who are not facing it, as If this may happen to them and if they see to it they cannot tackle that situation in a appropriate way. There were many people on the roads shouting for helps but there were no one who can help them in the proper way or there is no one who can take them to the hospitals, There were only dead body surrounded all the way to the people.
     Firaaq is set basically on Gujarat Riots, the horrific 2002 communal riots, which left according to mostly Muslims, the number of people died in gujrat riots are mostly muslim’s. The film is a fictionalised account woven out of, it says, “a 1000 true tales.”
     In Gujrat Riots muslim’s are affected at greater extent which includes some well known like jahangir khan etc. Music maestro, Jahangir Khan, faces isolation during the riots. Arati experiences guilt when she did not open her door to shelter an injured Muslim woman. Her husband, Sanjay, had looted merchandise from shops, and his brother, Devan, had even sexually molested Muslim women. A young lad, Mohsin, leaves the safety of an army-guarded camp to look for his father. Sameer Shaikh and his Hindu wife, Anuradha, decide to re-locate to Delhi. Muneera suspects her Hindu friend, Jyoti, of setting her house on fire, while biased police officers continue oppressing Muslims and five Muslim men find a gun and attempt to seek revenge.

Review on "Food, Inc."

     "Food, Inc.", the an documentary film opens with the sentence, "The way we eat has changed more dramatically in the past 50 years than in the previous 10,000 years." Later in the film it's pointed out that one of the important changes in what we eat is that our food supply has been flooded with sugar and other refined carbohydrates. "Food, Inc." is about how these and other changes came to be, and the little-known state of our present food system.

     In Food, Inc., filmmaker lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and their own environment. They have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but they also have new strains of e coli--the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes and people are now preferring fast food for satisfying their hunger. But they don’t know that-that fast food is effecting their health day by day, today we have from MacDonald and kfc’s are all junk food’s and its effect human health badly because its unhygienic and it is the main reason for growing malnutrition in our nation. As we compare today’s child with previously birth child is much weaker than them, because now a days people preferring junk and fast food for satisfying their hunger. Therefore today’s birth child is weaker than previous one and unhygienic and junk food are main reason of this.          

Why I am here 3?

     As i have mentioned in my previous 2 blog post that why i am studying in media? "as i am BMM graduate from advertising and want to experience both  journalism and advertising". And with the help of knowledge and experience which i have gain after studying in media since past 3 years, i have started my own production studio with my friend and i think for the success of my studio i should go more indepth into the media and get to know more about media, because my production studio's motive is somewhere related to the media but unfortunately after failure of my production studio, I have planned to dropped production studio plan and move on to my further plan which I have already decided before to make a carrier in media planning as a media planner. But I have given my first preference to my studio and support my friend but unfortunately I can’t and now I am looking forward for making carrier in media planning. Hope so it will never let me down and I also know that the MA.CJ is not the right cource for me but it’s my 2^nd choice
AND this is all why i am doing MA.CJ
THANKYOU. 

Review on 'Manipur'

     The Armed Forces Special Powers Act has been in force in several parts of India, including the state of Manipur in the northeast of the country, for more than 50 years. The vaguely formulated provisions of the Act grant extraordinary powers to the Indian armed forces in the so-called “disturbed areas” where it is applicable. The Act has been at the heart of concerns about human rights violations in the region, such as arbitrary killings, torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and enforced disappearances. Its continued application has led to numerous protests, notably the longstanding hunger strike by Ms. IromChanuSharmila in Manipur.

      Our nation pays the most of the amount of  tax for defense and in return this is what they are getting.....? is this the defense?i think its not| The ASPA which gives the Indian soldiers sweeping powers like searching without search warrants, arresting without arrest warrants, and even shooting to death on mere suspicion is a most illegal act enacted in the records of human legal history. In fact it is an Act that negates and even nullifies the very concept and principles of law. This is because here is an act that says a person can be shot to death on mere suspicion when the Law says “A person is innocent until proven guilty.” This extra judicial law is sanctioned by Indian Law, protected by Indian Law and is even immune from legal prosecution- “except with previous sanction of the Central Government.” This Act in short is an act that amounts to state sponsored terrorism. And the sponsorer of this heinous law is the central Government of India through its Parliament.
