If you hope to see the play of words then you will be disappointed.
Recently there was lot of hue and cry about the movie Slumdog. People pointed out that movie doesn't depict India in good light. But i wonder can any of us deny the fact that the things shown in poor light in movie are not part of our society. We can't deny the existence of slums and situation out there. We can't deny the existence of begging rackets. All i want to say though it may not be the whole truth but its some part of our truth as Indian society.
I don't know whether we are more furious about those flaws in our society or because some one else pointed out. There is one thing if you won't except that darkness exists then you will hardly lite candle. So the very first step is excepting our flaws. We have always tried to cover shortcomings of our society in the name sanskriti. I don't know about which sanskriti we talk about. in most part of country women don't feel safe. Child abuse, rapes and what not. I don't want to put stats here. If you have eyes open you don't need the stats. Otherwise you can always find something to overlook this truth. Some excuse to make yourself feel good. You can always say that girls are responsible for many of rapes. why do they put on such clothes and what not. They go to pubs which is against indian culture. I wonder is going to pubs is wrong or women going to pub is wrong. And even if it is wrong does it give us right to force our will on them. If a person is drinking, all the harm is done to self. Until that person is nt troubling you. and In that case there is police.
If you find something wrong then you can protest against that as done by women in hills against the liquor sale. But beating people is not the way at least in any of civilised society.
