of 'Aarak..." is one Mr. Prakash Jha. Also understood that Mr.Prakash Jha managed a PR coup for his mediocre film by naming it 'Aarak...'.
But, if attracting widespread condemnation and threats and the resultant public attention is the purpose, there really can be no better method than to make a true-to-life film on open defecation in India !!
Between 60 and 65 % of Indians shit in the open for want of access to proper toilets. If a film on this is made without fear of retribution, then that movie will invite attention from not only the 'celebrities', politicians, media houses, etc, but also from most middle class Indian commoners too ! For, the middle class Indians live in a make beleive world that is supposed to mean that India is developing furiously and on its way to shortly becoming a superpower !!
Aarakshan - TOTAL RESPECT for the subject & its execution!
Don't know why some states are imposing a BAN on it... In my opinion, it must be a COMPULSORY WATCH in all educational institutions across the country!
Plus, it should be given a TAX-FREE status everywhere!
A MUST WATCH for everyone - if not for anything else then for AB's dignified performance! Head bowed with respect & reverence!"
I don't know why but dalits in maharashtra take up brahmin surnames, it seems they are ashamed of their real surnames, this should stop, this shows that they are still living in the age-old mentality and they consider themselves inferior. Until they change their thinking reservation won't help them.

politicians have make them slaves by giving reservation and yes u r right they r ashamed of reservation but on other hand takes all benefits but also want to hide their identity
Rakesh Singh says “Lower class people akal are in guthna not in brain. how you can expect as ideal wife.”
Aniket says “They still want to be accepted in the society and for that they have to show the big heart, reservation has only made them more alienated from the rest of the society, problem is not lack or education or money, problem is with acceptance.”
Just for once think, if you had born a Dalit, then? How would have you felt? Would have left reservation?
“So called upper castes” think they will be doing a favor by accepting Dalits. This thinking and above comments show what truly you and “non-Dalits” think of Dalits. Shame on you…
If you people want to stop RESERVATION, go and marry a Dalit lady and marry your beti/behen to Dalit. At least that way, your nephew/niece will get reservation.
If you are offended by thought of marrying a Dalit, then my friend, you are casteist and prejudiced and that is why this divide is still in India.

How does that justifies Reservation, that even if you are not competent enough you will be selected. It will create more evil than good.
I have see a judge from reserve quota sleeping during a bench hearing while the other judge was very much involved in the case.
