Amrit1972 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20060922/punjab2.htm#2 Theatre purified for religious film Our Correspondent Amritsar, September 21 A local cinema house has been purified for screening a religious film. The Sangam cinema, situated just opposite bus terminal, was cleaned for the screening of a film based on the life of great Sikh saint warrior Baba Deep Singh who attainted martyrdom while protecting Golden Temple from Afghans. The first cinemascope Punjabi feature film on the Sikh history produced with the biggest-ever budget of Rs 2.5 crore would be released in the theatres tomorrow. In the film “Anokhe Amar Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Jiâ€, Sabat Surat Sikhs belonging to the holy city have performed all Sikh roles. Mr A.P.S. Chatha, executive producer of the film, said the shabad singer, Bhai Guriqbal Singh of Mata Kaulan Trust, looked after the purification work at the cinema. The theatre authorities suspended the night show to carry out the purification. Mr Chatha said a “deepmala†would also be held before the release of the film. A procession led by Bhai Guriqbal Singh would march towards the theatre after performing prayers at Gurdwara Shaheed Baba Deep Singh for watching the premiere of the movie. Jaswinder Singh Chahal, a young director from Bollywood, has directed the picture. A number of actors, music directors, lyricists, cameramen and other technicians offered their services free of cost for the making of this epic. The film has been produced by Shot Real Production in collaboration with the Mata Kaulan Trust. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singh47 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Shows the kind of respect people in Punjab have for Baba Deep Singh Jee. But they should have made a documentary instead of an Indian commercialized movie which we all know isn't very good in narrating history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawrof Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I think the whole process is a sham to be very honest. If they want to educate people, they should try to be as historically accurate as possible and have them dress like the times, and create that atmosphere. Otherwise, we'll get another deal where people will give actors sant like status as they did after the ramayan series. I may sound harsh, but I can't help it, I'm not all sweet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatehsingh Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 This is the REAL DEAL in making mockery of and degrading our glorious history. Fateh Singh Bring in the wedding crashers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tSingh Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Watchng the adverts over here, I'm more offended by what looks more like the usual Islamaphobic, angry sardars chopping muslims stuff. Lots of images of dead women lying around, angry baba deep singh, then muslims toppling off horses! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Javanmard Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 well assuming of course that there has been something called Hinduism before the British came. As far as I am concerned there just Vaishnavas, Shaktas, Smartas, Shaivas, Muslims, Christians and Sikhs in those times. Sikhs as defendors of Hinduism? please let me laugh!!! These "religious" movie makers do nothing but portray cheap propaganda and prejudices and prove by all means that their own community is more virile than the others...not very different from boys trying to show off who has got the biggest toto. These movies are made of nice vegetarian blue masculine Singhs, weak and treacherous Hindus dressed in red and of course dark hook nosed brutal Muslims dressed in green...and of course the evil guys speak Urdu and Shudh Hindi... Regarding cleaning the cinemas before showing the movie in Chandigarh, how comical coming from the city that hosts India's biggest red light circuit where middle class girls offer their bodies in order to get themselves the latest trendy brands! Nice try Chandigarh, still not convinced! Mind you...I still love eating panir pizza in sector 17!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystical Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I bet for some reason there ganna show Gatkha as a martial art instead of Shaster Vidiya. But i'll be really surprised if they doo do Shaster Vidiya. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the avoidance of doubt, please could you clarify what the term Hindu within Gurbani refers to, explicitly when mentioned in the context of "Na koi Hindu, Na Koi Muslman" and other similar citations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Javanmard Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Maharaj is using the language of his times with its limitations. By that time "Hindu" was a term coined by the Mughals to qualigy the non-Muslims and had as much accuracy as the term "Paki' to qualify all South Asians be they Panjabi, Gujarati or Bengalis. And like the derogatory terms "nigger" and "paki" the term "hindu" was appropriated by those it qualified with the consequences we know. But to talk on an entity called "Hinduism" by that time is pure illusion. It's like talking of "Pakism" which for a white English racist would englobe all the fancy Muslim-Sikh-Hindu mumbo jumbo. The tragedy is when the people who are been qualified with those terms start using it themselves and re-build their identity on it. Hence why the whole Hindutva movement is a joke: a "Hindu" extremist movement that define itself through a foreign Persian word with the negative connotation that word has in Persian literature. Imagine the farce of a "Paki' movement in the UK trying to prove that Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus are part of the same religion called Pakism! RSS and Hindutva are a dangerous farce! India as a secular state should have prohibited all communitarian and religious parties ages ago! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niranjana Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Javan Bhai, once again for the avoidance of doubt, please could you elucidate on the matter of 'secularism' and the much spoken aspect of "Miri-Piri". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vijaydeep Singh Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Gurfateh Miri Piri is concpet of sprtualism guiding the poltics,which owns matterirals and not the materalism.But nothing to do with communalism. Indian so called secualrism is based upon equal respect to all faiths unlike in france where term secular was coined as anti God or Anti Church thing.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
