Satya Prakash's POV
FTII PUNE :Preaching & listening get replaced by reasoning and questioning at higher education
Down with brutal beating of Students of Film & Television Institute of India, Pune.
The same logic of RSS Pracharak and Hindu Religious Guru about Radhey Maa does not work on FTII'S Chairman Gajendra Singh who is not the face of Indian Cinema. Mr.Gajendra Singh must be asked about the film of great film maker Satyajeet Ray, Adoor Gopal Krishanan, Bimal Da etc and famous literatures of this country. As he confessed that he is known to Indian Cinema. So obvious it is that he is oblivious of world Cienma, Art and Literature.
Many a cine phil has doubt about his understanding with Indian Cinema.
Radhey Maa and Mr.Gajendra Singh have been seen in a photograph too, justifies that their understanding about film and religion respectively are the same. So one is loveable and other is hatred.
They proclaim that Radhey MAA does not know the depth of religious books. She can not become Mahamandleshwar and she was sacked down from the designate of Mahamandleshwar by Niranjan Akhada. If she is not up to mark,how Mr. Gajendra Singh can be ? This is the double faces of Government and RSS who take side of Mr.Gajendra to the extent of brutal beating of FTII students and oppose Radhey Maa because she dances in modern aprons, she is lifted in the lap of men and she infringes the line of being goddess. What are the criteria of being Goddess and Godman ? RSS keeps caressing these Guru and Gura mata through the various religion outfits.
Few of cine artists like Mr.Anupam Kher who has taken U-TURN as far as support of FTII student's demand of replacing the director is concerned. Anumpam Kher alleges that it is now political, being supported by various political parties and leaders from various political formations flock to them.
Is the appointment of BJP member and RSS supporter Mr.Gajendra Singh to the designation of director of Film &Telivision Institute of international repute is not political ?
Why does not Government apply the same yardstick for both Mr.Gajendra Singh and Radhey Maa ?
Another baseless point has been raised from the beginning of agitation of the students of institute that students have to study in the institute whosoever the director or principal is posted in there.
If so it is , do incompetent teachers and principal run the India's famous school like DPS, Reliance School, Ryan School, Poddar School of Mumbai etc, the parents will put their children with heavy investment in the same school ? Many rich parents send their sons and daughters to foreign educational institutes with the investment of thosands of dollars but if the reputation is dented, what happens ? Answer is so obvious in negation. FTII is an institute where graduate , art-lover students take admission with their parent's investment that is higher than other technical institutes of country.
The students of FTII are more sensitive.They are so exposed to various societies of world, their social, historical, economical and political churning and that's why, their world view is tremendous, chiselled, intervening and beautiful. They create an aesthetic bridge that connect them to the art, cinema and literature of world. In the world of higher education, the students of art and cinema can not be administered by the primary school's mandatory ethics.The gospeling and listening get replaced by reasoning and questioning that is not being appreciated by the present saffron regime.
The picketing of Director implies that the students want to interact with the concerned persons of Institute and the Government at New Delhi. Instead of creation of communication bridge, the government orders the police to thrash the democratic demonstrators of FTII. All the art-lovers, cine-lovers, students from all corners and democratic-loving persons of this country must go ahead to support the demand of students who have been fighting for more than sixty days to beautify the institute with theoretical, empirical and democratic knowledge that will take the Indian Cinema to a stage of churning at world cine-platform.
This long and consistent protest of FTII students have infinite strong fission power that may create the agitation of students and youths against Modi Government in India ?
