In Good Faith

Srinagar’s rich cultural heritage, unique antiquity and its colourful environment make it different from other cities of the world. The city’s blooming and well-maintained gardens, beautiful rivers and natural lakes, and green mountains with snow-capped peaks are like the shining jewels in the crown of this 2000-year-old human habitat at 1,730 m above sea level. The city has been home to many seers, saints, poets, thinkers and writers whose brilliance and contribution have accorded it much pride and distinction.

Srinagar’s dissimilarity also lies in its shrines, mosques, temples and other sacred religious places like Hazratbal, Khanqah-e-Molla, Dasgeer Sahib, Shankaracharya and Khir Bhawani temples and many other holy places. The historical and architectural significance of these places is also appealing to the visitors around the year.

On the western shore of famous Dal Lake stands Hazratbal (literally meaning the majestic place) shrine, a monument, which, vast majority of locals believe, houses a holy relic of Prophet Muhammad. The relic is known as Moi-e-Muqqadas or the sacred hair and was brought to Kashmir 300 years ago.

“The Moi-e-Muqqadas reached Kashmir in 1699. The relic was first brought to the Valley by Syed Abdullah, a saint who left Medina and settled in Bijapur, near Hyderabad in 1635. After his death, his son, Syed Hamid, inherited the holy relic. Hamid sold it to a wealthy Kashmiri businessman, Khwaja Nur-ud-Din Ishbari," says Tariq Ali Mir, a journalist and a student of history. “It was initially kept in Naqshband Sahib, (a shrine in the heart of the Srinagar city) but the shrine was small and therefore not capable of handling the huge crowds that flocked to the holly relic each day. So, the relic was shifted to Hazratbal,” Ali Mir added.

Exclusive Darkness at noon

Dependants of jawans killed by Maoists struggle to stay afloat. A report from Orissa by B&E’s Dhrutikam Mohanty


Bardhan and his family reside in a single-storey building in Gadakana area of Bhubaneswar. It has neither a boundary wall nor a proper approach road. The entrance has no door bell. So we knock on the grille. The family’s pet dog, Blackie, barks in response. Jayakrishna is soon at the door to usher us in.

His elder son, Ajit Bardhan, was an Orissa police sub-inspector posted in the Maoist-infested Sundargarh district. While on patrol duty, Ajit was overpowered by a group of Maoists and abducted. The very next morning – the date was July 16, 2009 – his body was found near Jharbeda. Darkness descended on the slain cop’s family. Unable to withstand the shock, Jayakrishna suffered a heart attack. Ajit’s widow, Rosalin, who was expecting her first baby on August 7, experienced acute labour pain even as arrangements were being made to take her husband’s body to Puri.

The Orissa chief minister, Naveen Patnaik, came down to Ajit’s residence to express his condolences to the bereaved family. When he learnt about the condition of the cop’s father and widow, he immediately instructed senior officers to make all arrangements for them.

But nothing moved after that. Say Jayakrishna, “I am still wandering from one office to another for the release of my son’s provident fund amount and family pension. They haven’t even paid a small amount of Rs. 17,000, which I spent on my treatment after the heart attack. The CM had declared the government would bear all the expenditure. I have been to the Rourkela SP’s Office and the IG Operation’s office on several occasions, but nothing has been done. It is humiliating. It is as if they are going to do us a favour. Did my son lay down his life in vain?”

Ajit Bardhan, in a letter to his wife Rosalin, had once written that it would be the happiest moment of his life if he were to die serving the nation. If only he knew what would be in store for his family after his death, he might have changed his view. Rosalin, who recently got a police job under the rehabilitation scheme, is still waiting to get her other dues. She says, “My father-in-law has taken much pain to get my husband’s legitimate dues and I couldn’t help him because of my job and daughter Arushi.” Arushi is only eight months old.

WHERE HISTORY SIMMERS...

Although known for its commerce; Amritsar has nurtured many a literary and artistic talent. It is the city of celebrated painter G.S. Thakur Singh and the famous novelist Nanak Singh. It is also the city in which a formidable talent like that of Urdu fiction writer Saadat Hasan Manto was nurtured. The daughters of this city have done it proud and among them are the country’s first IPS officer, Kiran Bedi, theatre diva Neelam Maan Singh, cinema directors Deepa Mehta and Mira Nayar as well as poet and actor Deepti Naval.

Amritsar is also famous for its hand-crafted Punjab juttis and savouries like papadh and warhi. And it is only this town that can tickle the tastebuds the Punjabi way like no other place. Come here for delicious thali fare at Kesar dhabha, Amritsari fish, karhai mutton, chana-kulcha and much else. They say you are not born unless you see Lahore and it is equally correct to say you haven’t seen Punjab if you have not been to apna Ambarsar, for that is the Punjabi colloquial pronunciation for the town.

Keeping it real

he’s the one known for the grit and the grime that lace his works on celluloid. prakash jha, whose middle name should perhaps be ‘hard-hitting’, if his filmography is any indication, talks to Ravi Inder Singh about his upcoming "raajneeti"

You recently commented that characters in “Raajneeti” do not bear any resemblance to any politician, then why is the revising committee still taking time?

The movie absolutely has no resemblance with any political leader and moreover the movie is at the revising committee’s end only because they are yet to decide on its category. They still have to give it a rating – either ‘A’ or ‘U/A’.

Are there any such sequences that deciding the category is getting tougher?

Well, explaining everything with respect to every shot picturised in the movie wouldn’t be possible. Let’s just say that the revising committee would take decision on its category based on votes.

Between politics and films, which do you think has more influence on the masses?

I think it is films. In this film the central idea may hover around politics but it also focuses on politics within the family, interpersonal relationships, it’s about betrayal and deals with politics with respect to loyalty.

While selecting Ranbir Kapoor, was there ever a dilemma to choose someone more rugged or grittier?

Wow! You don’t know how rugged this guy is (laughs). Fortunately, there was no one in contention and just after “Saawariya” I had spoken to Ranbir about this role. In this film, Ranbir’s character studies abroad and is away from all the political influence that the family has. But once when he visits a function, circumstances are such that joining politics becomes inevitable.

Which was the most challenging scene to shoot in the film?

Every single scene was challenging. Whether a scene has four characters or four thousand, every scene is important. As a writer or a director you never keep anything that’s just functional, every scene has a meaning. There are seven huge characters in the film: Arjun Rampal, Ranbir, Manoj Bajpai, Ajay Devgn, Nana Patekar, Katrina Kaif – and each one needs to be justified. Finally what the audience likes is what I am waiting for.

Why do you think that the media misunderstood that this movie has been inspired by the first family of Indian politics?

The reason could be that Katrina is from England and she comes from abroad in the movie, also Katrina’s Hindi has a little bit of an accent. Similarly Sonia ji is also from abroad. It’s like putting two and two together, and once something of this sort happens, everyone starts talking about it. In my film Katrina is a normal girl who is shown to be in love with Ranbir. Now I can’t show the movie to the media, you’ll have to see it to believe it.

Through your film, do you intend to change the way people look at politics, or is it purely meant for entertainment?

I’m trying to change nothing. I do not have power to change anything. I have only sculpted a story on the present political system. What eventually you would draw from it is completely your choice.
