"Firaaq" Paula Gloria interviews Nandita Das/Ending violence

[allembrace]

Nandita is a consciousless ,deceiver,dishonest. Why did not you study the QQURRAN ? and Bible and Bhagavadgita . ISLAM is based on hatred,violence,killing,rape,f­ascism. Hindu dharma is the most peaceful,most loving,most tolerant. Study islamic countries,study islamic societies, ISLAMIC history. Nandita will not have peace even on her death bed. NANDITA do not what is ISLAM !!! don't know what is HINDU DHARMA !! what is christianity!!!!

[paulagloria]

@allembrace what is Christianity? I am one and I feel nervous about your tone here...

[showkatsalfi]

Hi Paula, i am impressed with this video...Nandita is brilliant.

[mrcon5]

it is hard not to be impressed with Nandita - how she just rolls up her sleeves and does the job no one else is doing...and does it so well!

[paulagloria]

she is fairly courageous but there is an other level to the strife...I now see the jewish issue coming up even in India and I thought the interaction between her and Alan was particularly brilliant but they both could go farther

[paulagloria]

30:00 Alan Steinfeld accuses Nandita of being pro Muslim

[afghanmountainking]

I wonder Nendita Das claims to be a social worker after I watched her role in movie 'Fire'

which promotes homosexuality in Indian cutlure it is really shocking.

[giingee]

~afghanmountainking~

Fire did not promote homosexuality, it just showed the existence of homosexuality in Indian culture.

[afghanmountainking]

The way fire portrays homosexuality it is only promotion. Fire is an attack against eastern values. You can deny but it is fact.

[giingee]

I am sorry, i do not get what you mean by eastern values. Homosexuality is NOT a product to promote not it is not a chosen lifestyle for people to follow it. I am a gay from India and I know about my sexuality well before i was introduced to internet or the so called western culture. And i dont want to talk bout this in this post further as it is irrelevant here.

"The division happened much more IN THE MIND than anything else. So true.

[paulagloria]

""The division happened much more IN THE MIND than anything else. So true. "

thx for your comment. IN the future if you put the exact time in like 8:15 then it creates automatically what I call a "go to" button so that people can go right to the part you mean.

Without listening to the whole thing again I remember being impressed at how hard she has worked at this project - feeling the possibility for understanding between two groups to be so close. Nandita has a powerful and sincere energy

[samgimme]

being professional and doing things you like in real life are two completely different things.

she is an artist in the film and a humanitarian in personal life..

[paulagloria]

now that India had those terrorist attacks the work of Nandita Das is even more relevant

[veecee27]

Jesus H. Christ! I just commented on yr video about the Apple Pie and now I see that you have an Indian Connection. Welcome to my part of the world - It's good to have you here. Keep up the GREAT work!

[paulagloria]

speaking of Jesus H Christ....did you know I went to India to learn how Jesus did the healings?

Stand by for some action where I am right this minute...southeast Colorado where the US government wants to take 7 million acres of land from the local people.

I am at a radon bath spa which uses low level radiation (our bodies are starved for radiation) which is curing cancer

[photofu]

smart and sexy; can i get a date? word! news is the authority, yes.

[paulagloria]

36:16 can hardly wait until AmericanCyberGirl sees her heartthrob at the end....

[OMaharishiSunYogini]

Redreaming is part of healing because we are psycho-spiritual beings. (reply to alan re: opening a wound) according to yeats we redream until we have resolved it over and over we redream. the story teller retells the mundane gruesome & inspirational details of our day like a dream to weave meaning, to make meaning out of our lives. If we dont' find the meaning, we remain unconscious & don't evolve.

[paulagloria]

31:55 "These are questions most Indians have"

Great that you are picking up on it...this was my hope of New Realities Global Public Access...that those of other cultures could empathize with each other.

In this case it is sharing the pain

[OMaharishiSunYogini]

The filmmakers, musicians & artists are our prophets.  Can't leave out the film makers. They are artists too no doubt about it -- and prophets. Drama is something innate & revelatory, mediumistic.

[OMaharishiSunYogini]

film/art creates the opportunity for insight. insight is the fertile soil of revelations (imagination).

i wouldn't call it "brainwashing" -- i'd call it influence.

brainwashing i think involves force. influence is like the air we breath.

very nice interview -- intelligent & articulate. never heard of nandita das before today, so i appreciate the bit of indian culture (indian-american-cosmopolitan) - i do find often great meanings in film. in school we studied literature & film together.

[paulagloria]

osunyogi...I hope you can see the film and I hope more people hear of her...be sure to see Alan's interview too

[OMaharishiSunYogini]

to paula re: nandita das' film & alan's interview: will be sure to check for both. i also enjoyed alan's interview with lynn mctaggert re: sun & intention

[paulagloria]

I have linked Alan's interview above /watch?v=1M7sobpnbmI

I adore Lynn McTaggert as she went into peels of laughter to hear of my campaign to reclaim the swastika! A very unconditioned soul indeed!

[911Shaman]

This is great. This reminds me of the dream I just had. I wonder if I picked up on this while dreaming. Gee I wish I video camera of my dreams. I am obsessed with dreams.

[paulagloria]

At 27:50 an important part of this interview comes up when Alan asked about it being pro Muslim (28:30) and she answers that it was a carnage

[paulagloria]

Nandita was born the same year as John Gulino and deals with the same issue as Gangs of New York

Had John been able to keep his hand in it could we have had a more valuable civilizing tool?
