Vishal Bhardwaj was at his usual best in his direction of the unconventional bollywood movie 'Haider'.The movie depicts the plight of ordinary Kashmiris in a land confronted with insurgency and militancy.It solidly brings home the message 'Intakaam se Intakaam paida hota hai'i.e revenge begets revenge.True to the core,the never ending tussle between Indian army and militants has robbed Kashmir of its unrivalled beauty.
Ironically,some have opined about the movie as being 'antinational',which I do not agree.The movie was more about the personal rivalry(of Haider with his uncle) and the general plight of Kashmiris.The movie couldn't have been timely as there is a clarion call for the abrogation of article 370 and the incessant border skirmishes along the LoC and IB.
Further,we must dare to call the spade a spade.If the Indian army violates the human rights of ordinary citizens,the matter ought to be looked into seriously.There is a gross misuse of AFSPA in Kashmir and North-east in the name of maintaining law and order.Though AFSPA can't be repealed in totality owing to the prevailing circumstances,certain regressive clauses of it need to be deliberated upon.
