I practice the minority religion-Christianity! That said, I am also a citizen of a south-Asian peninsular landmass called India, besides also being human. Of course religion matters, it is our life’s saving grace. What it shouldn’t be made to look like is a political party’s best game-face. In the recent elections that brought PM Modi to power, we voted as one nation for a better future and not for the better religion. Then why must a movie like PK (2014) stir such rage? If the same energy lost to vandalism was used more constructively for quicker development and good governance, imagine our progress. But here we are, making headlines with a controversial India-Pakistan (hindu-muslim) kiss. PK gives us an outlander’s perspective on our leanings, beliefs and mannerisms, which has its own comic twist.
My Bluntkut- PK is an eye-opener and we ought to cherish out diversity and be proud of secular India!
