There is a conscious attempt by the self-appointed intellectuals of the film industry to “de-Hinduise” the story of India. Under the pretext of making films on sensitive subjects such as Partition, they peddle a vicious narrative that is misleading and demonises Hindu beliefs.

Kamal Hassan is a serial offender in peddling this agenda. Long before he stated false history about Tamil Nadu (“There was no Hindu religion during the time of Chola king”), he made a film on Partition and the assassination of M.K Gandhi in a film called ‘Hey Ram’.

In the film, he portrays practising Hindus as violent barbarians BUT a Pathan (Shah Rukh Khan) as the messiah of peace and forgiveness.

Take a look at this gem from the film. History would beg to differ on how Pathans treated Hindus during the partition, but Kamal Hassan isn’t particularly known for making well-informed opinions. We recommend this Gems of Bollywood article on how the Urduwood brigade has been portraying the Pathan community deceptively.

India must open borders for Afghans and Pakistanis because Bhagwan Ram also infiltrated from there

It is Hindus who are responsible for #PartitionHorrors
