Bring Out The Comrade

I am not the kind of person who keeps reviewing the movies and writes about it. But sometimes there are some movies which captivate me like I can't stop myself from sharing my views and adding up some kind of info into it so that it might help my readers and it might make some kind of impact on everyone around. This will be my second blog on movies and the first South Indian movie, "DEAR COMRADE". First of all special thanks to Bharat Kamma sir for writing and directing such a great movie. And also would like to congratulate you and all the other members who helped to make this a great movie.

Most of us watch movies for enjoying some kind of action, romance, thrills, and dramas. But some of the movies are not just limited to these things. Sometimes they give us a life long lesson. This movie "DEAR COMRADE" is a full combination of action, romance, thrills, dramas and also a life long lesson. For someone over there this movie might just be like recalling their unsuccessful relationship or for some, it might be an example of true friendship and love and many more readers, many more views and perspectives. So just leave this here.

The thing which captivated me the most about this movie was that why for the sake of this so-called society we should hide something which is not a thing to be forgiven and to kill one's dream. Sexual harassment is not a thing which can be forgiven just for the sake of this so-called society or just for the sake of one's pride in this society. One simply can't misuse their power and ruin someone's future and also every one of us who tries to stop them from expressing their emotions showing them a fear of the society and the pride of the family are also the ones to be equally blamed.  

We live in a society where instead of supporting someone we start judging them, we start talking about them and also we start making them feel guilty about the thing which they haven't done. We are not ready to hear the full story from both sides and we make judgments. I would love to share an experience that I and some NGO members (Behbood The Society) discussed a week ago. Our president shared a video and asked us if anyone is willing to have a discussion on that video. The video title was "DOES MARITAL RAPE TRULY EXIST"? In this video, the guy interacts with the people around and tries to know their views. It was shocking that most of the people were like we don't need any consent from our wives to have sex. And they say it is not marital rape. She is married to me so I have a right to have sex with her even if she doesn't have consent. This was really disgusting. Someone is not marrying you so that you can legally rape her. And even after if a wife can't tolerate her husband's pressure & decided to divorce, this so-called society will blame the wife and make her feel guilty about her decision which was not an easy decision for her to make. And in most cases, not only the society but even the family members tries to make her feel guilty about her decision. Why can't we just try to hear and understand the truth? Why do we give more importance to the people around us than ourselves? Why do we value our pride so much that we can let our child suffer throughout their life and let a criminal or a rapist or a marital rapist free and let them destroy other's life too?       

These things do exist in our societies as well. But due to fear of the society and also the fear of families pride, they can't open up their emotions, their pain and such activities keep growing because there is no one to support the victims or in most of the cases even the parents don't let their child express any kind of such cases for the sake of their pride in this so-called society. But guys the thing that actually matters is not what the society will think but what you think because do you want to live with that pain throughout your life and do you want others to suffer as well or you want to live freely without any guilt and live your passion and dream.

Everyone is a comrade from inside but they only feel it when someone harms their family or their loved ones. But why can't we feel it for a random person who is suffering in our neighborhood, in public transport, in public areas and most importantly for a person next to us?

Speak out loud your pain, your emotions. There are still some good human beings who can feel you and are ready to support you and fight for your justice. Greatness is not only when you help someone you know but it is when you help anyone randomly without expecting anything in return.
