The RSS has come forward to boost the poll victories of the BJP with a sinister plan of its own. It is not only preparing the ground for the Lotus to flower, but spicing it up with ‘culture’ and its pet theme, ‘nationalism’. To take this campaign forward, the Sangh is looking into new and unique methods, such as a film festival. The Sangh will be holding a series of short-film festivals, which will kick-start from the land of Didi, Mamata Banerjee, who is at the moment completely swept away by her honeymoon with the minority community. This new initiative has been named ‘Manush Chai” (People Desire), and as of going to print, some 50 applications have been received for films to be hosted in the fest. This is being seen as a major step by the Sangh, and its media wing, “Vishwa Samvad Kendra” is very busy organising this. They are saying the fest is in the ideals of Swami Vivekanand. All this is fine. But when the hue of prejudice taints the lenses and narrow idealism self-censors creativity, it is evident that no meaningful cinema will grace the silver screen.
