Mumbai –  Some years ago the Hindi movie ‘Chak De! India’ based on the character of a hockey coach was released. In this movie, Shah Rukh Khan acted as the coach named as Kabir Khan. In reality, the story of the movie was based on a Hindu coach called Mir Ranjan Negi. The movie producer purposely showed a Muslim instead of a Hindu. This information was given by actor Annu Kapoor in an interview to the news agency ANI  Mir Ranjan Negi was a famous hockey player. He had also coached the Indian women’s hockey team. Under his guidance this team had won the Common Wealth Games gold medal.

In India there is always an attempt to make fun of a Hindu priest

Annu Kapoor further said that, “In India, they want to show a Muslim as a good character and make fun of a Hindu priest. And then they talk about the Ganga-Jamuna culture projecting Hindu Muslim unity.” (This is the real face of the Hindi Film Industry. Now, it won’t be surprising if Hindus start boycotting such movies- Editor)

Editorial Perspectives

  • The trend to portray Hindus in a negative light but praise Muslims as good people, which began with Mohandas Gandhi, has not stopped yet. A Hindu Rashtra becomes imperative in order to stop such false narratives and to bring the truth in front of the world.
  • If in the movie a real-life Muslim coach would have been substituted by a Hindu one, all the so called progressives and pseudo-secularists would have raised a big hue and cry.
