A lot of boarders are asking why a movie was not made on Kashmir, godhra train burning, 84 sikh riots, kandhman killings etc.
Dears, Firaaq is a cinematic representation of all these. You just change the name of the charactor in the film and you got it. One should also note that there is no violence pictured in the movie, but only its repurcussions. So be it any of the tragic events that had taken place, the relevance is the same. It is quite natural that a young director choose a contemporary subject, to which s/he can relate better.
Really feel sad reading your comments... In the film Naseeruddin aptly says...it pains not to see hindus or muslims killing each other...but humans killing humans...
Go see the movie understand whats happening around...take your head out of the sand and accept killings as killings and not ours and theirs...
We should be ashamed of whats happened and is happening in Gujarat/North-east/Karnataka/Orissa/Kashmir ...in the end do not forget that indians are being killed.
We should die of shame for commenting such tragic human tragedies and to become so insensitive and point fingers in the other direction and try to console our conscience.
The day we as a nation and world realise this...people like Osama/Alqeada/LET/Bush/Modi/RSS will die of suffocation as they will not get the oxygen (yours and mine sympathies) on which they live.
For all those who have nothing to say about Firaaq and are out of context dying here for the Kashmir Issue, and suggesting to make a movie on Kashmir, who has stopped them for making a film on it, Please go ahead and make a movie, showing the presence of 7 lakh soldiers on that tiny pisece of land and please show in the movie the lock up killings, rape and hundred of thousands of youths disappearances. I hope some bhagva terrorist man will make a movie on it soon.

The Indian Army admitted Friday that three of its men were guilty of killing two civilians in Jammu and Kashmir and said that it had ordered disciplinary action against them. A court of inquiry held a junior commissioned officer and two soldiers of 22 Rashtriya Rifles responsible for the incident that took place Feb 22 at Bumai in north Kashmir.

WHY IS IT THAT WE ALL HAVE STARTED MISSING THE POINT BIG TIME.. WE NEVER SEEM TO GET OUT OF THIS ISSUE... WHY NOT KASHMIR?WHY NOT SIKHS?.. for one sikh riots THANKFULLY HAPPENED ONCE only and they have already been covered... and what is happening in kashmir is absolutely different from whats happening in the rest of the country.

I am VERY CURIOUS to know why movies are not made on Kashmir pandits andd their suffering, were they not refugees, did kids not lose their parents there, were kashmir pundits not human beings, were they not living in refugee camps. Can somebody enlighten me ? I am just curious to know.

Not only that Subadhra ..the Nandigram genocide which was more severe happend just a yr ago why they are silent on that? Just because CPM was at the helm of affairs? Or the suffering of the Bodos at the hands of armed illegal immigrants in Assm .. so many human tragedies are there in India;but why oversell just one?
Why doesn't someone make a movie and show how the Godhara Train Burning Plot was orchestrated? Why those 56 innocent people were burnt alive? Nandita Das is a big moron to make a pro-moslem film.

These stupids never think about the 1984 tragedy enacted by Con-party. Only muzlims need to be portrayed as victims it seems, for them.
why to show such sensitive subject..........already is there less hatred among people that they bring up such issues.......just want to play with people's sentiments and cash on it
