Bollywood After 9/11 – The Depiction of Islam and the West in Indian Cinema

Since the dramatic events of September 11, Bollywood films have shown an unusual interest in the terrorist film genre, especially in terms of international terrorism and global tensions between Islam and the West. Striking examples of this genre include Kabir Khan’s New York (2008), Karan Johar’s My Name is Khan (2010), Rensil D’Silvas Kurbaan (2009) and Apoorva Lakhia’s Mission Istanbul, to name a few. Films such as Anil Sharma’s Ab Tumhare Hawale Watam Sathiyo (2004) and Subhash Ghai’s Black and White (2008) focus on terror issues within the Indian subcontinent. The latter films remain in the tradition of pre-9/11 terrorist films such as Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Mission Kashmir (2000), Mani Ratnam’s Dil Se (1998) and Bombay (1995). Ratnam’s Bombay dealt with the devastating Hindu and Muslim riots of 1991 that claimed more than 1,000 lives. Chopra’s Mission Kashmir dealt with a scenario of local terrorist activity in the Kashmir region sponsored by international terrorist cells operating from Afghanistan. In this way, the terrorist genre is not a completely new genre in Bollywood, nor is terrorism an unknown phenomenon in the daily activities of the Indian subcontinent (the most recent and brutal terrorist attack was the massacre in Mumbai in 2008). What makes these recently exciting terror films interesting is that they have entered the global sphere and have become part of a transnational dialogue between East and West and Islam and the other.

To make the terror genre more palatable, Bollywood has traditionally spiced up the violence and suspense with the distinctive Bollywood song and dance play and sentimental romantic exchange between the hero and heroine. Mission Kashmir is notorious for its graceful dances and arousing emotional exchanges between the main protagonists, played on the violent backdrop of terrorism in Kashmir. Mani Ratnam’s Bombay also mixes the most brutal scenes of Hindu and Muslim hatred and violence with delicious comedy and a forbidden love affair between a pious Muslim girl and a boy from a high-ranking Shaivite Hindu family. His father is the curator of the village temple, and both family patriarchs are vehemently opposed to the children marrying outside their caste and religious นักฟุตบอลที่โดนกักตัว.

Karan Johars my name is Khan

Following the Bollywood tradition of mixing genres (known in the industry as the masala or the spicy recipe film), Karan Johar’s My Name is Khan mixes comedy and romance with the political hot potato of bigotry and racial hatred after the United States on 9 September. The film’s theme of ultra-nationalist extremism culminates in the senseless killing of a young Indian boy, Sam or Sameer, who has been killed by young people on the football field, in part due to the adoption of his stepfather’s name Khan. Overflowing streams of emotion and heart touching romantic songs, such as the mix of 1960s counterculture song “We Shall Overcome” (sung in both Hindi and English), appear throughout the film to both ease the excitement and exemplify the presence of light and hope in a world darkened by the bitter shadow of global terrorism. The fact that the central protagonist Rizvan Khan is a devout Muslim and politically neutral to the hysteria of the debate is important. Raised by his mother that there are no fixed brands like Hindus and Muslims, but only good and bad people, Rizvan Khan freely practices his religion with equal love and respect for all other races and faiths, only distinguishing between what is in the hearts and minds of the people, not to what religion they profess, or to what race, culture, and nationality they belong.

My name is Khan is also important to Bollywood fans as it reunites the biggest heart-pounding couple of Hindi cinema from previous decades, Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan. The duo were previously paired in two of Karan Johar’s previous card games Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1995) and Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham (2001). Both of these films were sentimental gushy romance, literally overflowing with juicy outflows of emotions and feelings; a phenomenon called rasa in India. The song and dance sequences were also staged in great detail and combined a balance between traditional Indian music and dance forms (Hindustani music and traditional folk dances) as well as modern western forms. This ensured the huge popularity of the film in both India and diaspora countries like Canada, USA and UK.

The case of flag football as an Olympic sport

The Olympics are unlike any other sporting competition on the planet. For 16 days, over 300 events representing 35 sports and every country on the planet compete to take home their prized medals, and I have been looking forward to watching the Summer Olympics every four years since as far back as I can remember. But something has always been missing. One of America’s most popular sports and a top 10 sport in the world, it looks like tackling and flag football could be Olympic sports by 2024, but there are still obstacles to it becoming a reality. First, we go through some reasons why the road to getting American football included in the Olympics has not been an easy journey, followed by why we believe that flag football is the logical solution and choice as a future Olympic sport.

WHY IS NOT AMERICAN FOOTBALL ALREADY AN OLYMPIC SPORT?
According to an article from NFL.com, the biggest logistical problems that American football sports have in the Olympics are very similar to Rugby. With the large number of participants on each team, “gender equality” is formatted, with both men and women participating in every sport, and the compressed 3-week schedule that would be tough with a more physical game like football and rugby. In addition, for American football, the entry barrier is high because of the cost of equipping all players with pads and gears, and therefore it has also been slow to adopt in many foreign countries, especially of the inferior variety.

Knowing all this, it’s hard to see how both sports fit well into the Summer Olympics. Rugby is very similar to football, as there is very little need to play the sport in terms of gear and practice at the base level and has a much greater international connection. Among other things, this has recently allowed Rugby to be cleared for the Olympics starting in 2016 by changing the traditional style to a less traditional “sevens” format, which is faster paced with fewer people, which can help cut a similar นักฟุตบอลที่โดนกักตัว for American football, or flag football more specifically.

TACKLE SECURITY RELATIONS
Even more and more high school, college and pro teams are starting to reduce the number of contact exercises, still having sports like soft padded headgear and shoulder pads for extra protection. But what if we could limit the contacts that players see before high school and middle school, while addressing some of the concerns about the sport in connection with it being fully accepted for the Olympics? and not just in the NFL, where concussions are a major issue. From as far back as youth football level, recent evidence has emerged that supports the idea that even brief concussions, repeated headaches and collisions can manifest themselves in similar brain injuries later in life for children aged 8-13. Many researchers suggest that children should not play football at all, suggesting that children’s heads are “a larger part of their body and that their necks are not as strong as adults’ necks. So children may have a greater risk of headaches and brain damage than adults. “

Thai World Cup 2014: The ugly side of the beautiful game

As the Thai World Cup in 2014 progresses, I just wonder how many people are aware of the disturbing facts associated with the competition; what one might call the ugly side of the beautiful game.

Part of the staging included $ 4.47 billion (US dollars) of Brazilian taxpayers’ money going to Swiss-based FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association), but the World Cup in competition is not for indigenous peoples, it is for greedy companies, corrupt politicians and rich tourists.

In fact, some of us have followed the protests of furious Brazilians complaining in cities across the country about local and national government corruption, grossly exaggerated spending of the World Cup somewhat worth $ 40 billion, while the underfunded essentials, much needed to improve services such as transport, education and health care. Reports from the Ministry of Energy confirm that not far away one million Brazilians live without electricity …

Danilo Cajazeira, an avid amateur football player in Sao Paulo, is an active member of the People’s Committee and demands that human rights cease to be violated, all of which are centered around the World Cup. During the construction and erection of the new stadiums, he reports in so many words that there have been hundreds and thousands of evictions in the area, some forced violently or disrespectfully onto the streets and led to real concentration camps.

Trading companies are closed … Then there have also been a number of public areas given to certain companies without dispensation. In addition, there is an increase in the illegal sex industry involving women and children.

In anticipation of setbacks from the people, $ 0.66 billion has been spent on police armament and security. In addition to these police measures, laws have been adopted to deal with social protesters, where special judicial courts have already been set up. The accused can be convicted in ‘execution courts’, which are responsible for receiving severe sanctions, while they are not entitled to a นักฟุตบอลที่โดนกักตัว.

It has all been described as oppressive and militarized, typical of a dictatorship scenario. Some citizens say the police are not only detaining vandals, but they are also invading homes of protesters who have been actively involved in social movements for some time long before the World Cup: As a way to get to these individuals, the police have given their relatives. not having anything to do with protests scary calls.

However, the revolt of the Brazilian people, who worry that public money, instead of going to the essentials like transportation, pedigree housing and energy instead of being pulled out of private business interests, has further promoted the desire to see change.

Will the Brazilian people win the battle when the uprising continues? Last year, there was a massive outcry against price increases in public transport. Those who protested now find that others are joining them and seeking justice from the World Cup scenario.
