Swades: Gîtâ's eyes finally light up but in heated argument
Loading...
Uploaded by pandit2406 on Nov 24, 2007
Swades: Gîtâ and Mohan start engaging on the level of ideas but in a context fraught with personal commitments (her rejection of the 'typical' Hindu suitor is an impediment to his own plans to take Kaveriamma back). Though the situation is becoming increasingly antagonistic, (at least emotional) energy - note how her eyes light up with a different and more intense kind of passion - is being invested in transforming the other's view of the homeland. We are faced with two (non-?) 'typical' Indians: the 'native' who stays on to reform despite the odds, and the NRI deserter who finds the task hopeless.

Friends,
You might also want to check out my paper on "Love, devotion, and service: retelling the Râmâyana in Gowarikar's Homeland (Swades)," posted today at the hyperlink you'll find in the info box above (top right).
It is being presented at the DANAM (Dharma Association of North America) panel (09 Nov 2009) at the American Academy of Religions (AAR) conference at Montreal.

I agree to SRK's words of saying "Don't be typical Indian". The point is we are so used to accepting what we get that we don't want to face up to development in a manner that would have taken India to a super power by now. I mean 62 years after independence and we still are not sure how to go about developing our country.

Friends,
You might appreciate Swades better when you see it again after reading my ongoing review of its aesthetics entitled *"The science of love: look into the eyes" of Gîtâ in Swades*
Click on my user-name above, and when you get to my YouTube profile, click on the link to my svAbhinava website: you'll see the link to the review in the "What's New" section, top of the left sidebar (unfortunately, URLs don't seem to be permitted in these comments).
Enjoy!
