The Joker controversy is back, but this time only in India. Back when the movie came out, the biggest concern people had was that since it glorifies violence, it will lead to people getting influenced and doing dumb things. But, at the end of the day, the only thing the movie inspired was people going to that one set of stairs in New York and dancing. © Twitter Due to all the violence shown in the movie, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has now decided to ban the film from broadcasting on any Indian channel and the decision is being upheld by the Film Certificate Appellate Tribunal (FCAT). Academy Award-winning movie #Joker won't be screened on satellite channels in #India. The Film Certificate Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) has upheld the Censor Board's decision to not allow Joaquin Phoenix-starrer to be aired on TV channels since the movie glorifies violence. pic.twitter.com/NcuTqVxVZA — Utkarsh Anand (@utkarsh_aanand) November 3, 2020 The order reads, "The film glorifies violence and in case it is seen by non-adults, it would have a lasting effect on their impressionable minds." People who want to watch the movie, if they haven't already, can easily do so on OTT platforms. However, this decision of not airing the movie on TV has left everyone questioning how a lot of other violent and shows and movies are able to get a free pass. Someone people want regulation on online content as well. Its high time that they also start regulating online content. Netflix, Prime, MX, Voot all these need regulation. — Shivam (@DheethByNature) November 3, 2020 Hmm.

The second season of Mirzapur opens a few days after the events of Season 1 and this time it’s all about revenge. If you are wondering that you might get confused about who’s after whom, the makers have given recap of the previous season and if you have followed the plot, you will get a fair idea of what’s going to happen next. View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@primevideoin) The second season takes time to gain momentum as the first episode won’t give you an instant adrenaline rush but it will soon start to reveal the reason why should invest your time in season two. The world of Mirzapur in season 2 is bloodier than season 1. This time, the characters move beyond just using violence as they are keen on using their brains to seek revenge. Interestingly, you will get to witness a change in relationship dynamics in season 2. There is a sense of ease in Akhandanand Tripathi aka Kaleen Bhaiya (Pankaj Tripathi) and his son, Munna (Divyendu Sharma). View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@primevideoin) Now that Bablu (Vikrant Massey) is no more, Guddu Pandit (Ali Fazal), his sister Dimpy (Harshita Gaur), and Golu (Shweta Tripathi) have come together to seek revenge from the Tripathis. The women characters are stronger than before and unlike in the first season, they are not limited to being the pretty girlfriends or just mere love interests. Then, there is Beena (Rasika Dugal) who’s trying every way to survive and is waiting for her time so that she can take her revenge in time. View this post on InstagramA post shared by (@primevideoin) Sharad Shukla (Anjum Sharma) is also back, but this time he is the one who is now taking care of Jaunpur. The new players in the race are Sharad’s associate Tyagi (Vijay Verma) and Robin (Priyanshu Painyuli) and Isha Talwar. Coming to the performances, we loved everyone's emotional trajectory throughout the course of the season. The best relationship dynamics is that of Ali and Shweta who have faced their trauma silently and it’s surely powerful. Vijay and Priyanshu are very impressive too, and are here to make you fall in love with them.

The women in the show are stronger than before and are going to change in how you see them in the arena of power and politics. The raw dialogues continue to be powerful as ever while there is an improvement in cinematography.

Do you think Indiaâs greatest strength lies in its numbers? The truth is far from it. Indiaâs biggest strength lies in the unity and sense of community that Indians share amongst themselves. Regardless of our caste, class or creed, we take pride in being Indians first and thatâs why we saw so many people coming to the rescue of their brethren, particularly members of the Muslim community during the recent Delhi riots. © Twitter Such selfless acts donât go unnoticed and those on the receiving end remember the kind gesture and helping hand others extend towards them. Just like this Muslim groom from Gidderbaha in Punjab, who came up with a very special way of expressing his gratitude towards the Sikh families in Delhi who came forward to give food and shelter to Muslims during Delhi violence. A wedding occurred in Giddharbah where a Muslim groom tied a turban in honor of Sikhs helping Muslims in Delhi riots. The Muslim groom and over 100 plus Muslims in the wedding tied turbans for communal harmony.#DelhiViolance pic.twitter.com/LmprVg0s2y â Reshma Alam (@reshma_alam9) March 5, 2020 Named Abdul Hakeem, he recently wore a turban to his wedding in solidarity with the Sikhs who helped Muslims in Delhi. Even his family and in-laws were supportive of Abdulâs decision and praised him for sending out a positive social message through this act. © Twitter Talking to Tribune, Abdulâs father-in-law said, âMy son-in-law has given a message of communal harmony. A true Muslim is identified not only by his cap but also by his honesty. In the same vein, a true Sikhâs identity is not only his turban, but also his Gursikhi.â These Sikh men in India traveled to show solidarity with Muslim men, in times of growing intolerance in the country. pic.twitter.com/4X22c2RY9v â Amnesty International (@amnesty) March 3, 2020 Itâs true when they say no religion supports hate or violence and Abdul has simply reminded us of the fact that India is so special, because it gives us hope that peace and communal harmony are not utopian concepts. That despite following different faiths, we can be true to the biggest religion - humanity. Our unity and solidarity is the only way forward today and all it takes for us to keep it alive is a little faith in each other and a desire to live together in harmony. View the full article

Ever since the makers of Taapsee Pannuâs Thappad dropped the trailer, a debate on domestic violence has been initiated and people have appreciated the actor for talking about something which everyone has been taking for granted. After watching the trailer, many people said that the movie is only talking about domestic violence but Taapsee begs to differ as according to her, the movie talks about a lot of other things too. âThe film is not just about domestic violence. It is just one trigger. There is a dialogue in the film which says 'I can suddenly see all the unfair things that I did not notice earlier'. So Thappad (slap) is a trigger and suddenly you see these things that were taken for granted in a relationship," Taapsee told PTI in an interview. She added that through the movie, they are trying to bring out the elephant in the room. âIt is like there is a (separate) to-do list for both women and men that is expected from them in a relationship. Who decided this? Did you just blindly follow what was told to you? It is not a mistake of any one person but of everyone as a society that we are trying to normalize it," Taapsee said. View this post on InstagramKya yeh bas itni si baat hai? Kya pyaar mein ye bhi jayaz hai? Yeh #Thappad Ki pehli Jhalak hai! #ThappadfirstlookA post shared by (@taapsee) When asked about the setting of an upper-middle-class family in the movie, Taapsee said it was a conscious decision to keep it that way as domestic violence is not only restricted to uneducated people. âIt is not that such things happen in those houses where people are uneducated, this happens in educated families as well. It is happening with three women out of five," she said. âWhen you are growing up you are told to follow certain things. But with age, as I became independent, I realized I am working as hard as a man of my age and I am earning well, maybe not more, but I can run my house like any other man. So why are rules different for me? I should not do certain things because I am a woman, why? When you start becoming independent, you become confident and start questioning things,â Taapsee raised valid questions targeting society. Taapsee Pannu plays the role of Amrita, a wife who moves court to seek divorce after her husband slaps her at a party. However, everyone, including her parents, questions her move saying it's a 'trivial' matter. Hereâs the trailer: The movie, also featuring Pavail Gulati, Dia Mirza, Ratna Pathak Shah, Tanvi Azmi, Kumud Mishra, and Manav Kaul, is set to hit the theatres on February 28. View the full article

Afghanistan violence on the uptick amid US-Taliban dialogue: watchdog

While several celebrities remain silent or indifferent towards the atrocities committed on late Sunday in Delhi's premier Jawaharlal Nehru University, a few have taken their platform as social influencers in great stride - with popular YouTuber and comedian Bhuvan Bam joining their ranks yesterday. Ever since 2015, Bhuvan has amassed a fan-following with over 16 million subscribers - often parodying social causes ranging from violence against women, censorship and several other issues. After retweeting a video highlighting the violence against JNU staff and students, Bhuvan posted a two-part tweet explaining his views on the topic, and the intolerance he's faced on social media for supporting the cause. Tweet karta hoon toh log poochte hain 'Kaunsi party se paise mile hain?' Paise? Bhaiyya mera politics se kuch lena dena nahi hai. 25 saal ka hoon. Apne kaam se desh ka naam roshan karna chaahta hoon. Har naagrik ki tarah desh mein aman aur shaanti chaahta hoon. (1) — Bhuvan Bam (@Bhuvan_Bam) January 5, 2020 (When I tweet, people ask 'which party have you received money from?' Money? Brother, I have nothing to do with politics. I'm 25 years old. I want to bring the nation's name to light through my work. Like every citizen, I want peace in the country.) Bhuvan continued with a follow-up: Maine apne bharat mein aisi hinsa ki kabhi kalpana nahi kari thi. Agar aap mein thodi si bhi deshbhakti hai, toh yeh samajh lijiye ki politics se upar insaaniyat hai. Kisi ko shareerik chot pohochaana jaanwaron se battar hai. Yeh hinsa iss desh ko manzoor nahi. (2) — Bhuvan Bam (@Bhuvan_Bam) January 5, 2020 (I never imagined such violence happening in my India. If you have even a bit of patriotism in you, understand that humanity comes above politics. Physically harming someone makes you worse than animals. The nation will not accept this.) Powerful words, and they certainly had a powerful impact, drawing thousands of retweets in subsequent hours. Jinko lagta hai BB ne desh ko gaali sikhai hai... 1. Vo sirf 'bancho' bolta hai cuz time pe sab yhi bolte the so he showed the reality. 2. He made videos on Rapes. 3. He made video on parents. 4. He represented India at NBA. "Baagh ko seenchne me, pattiya jharr jati hai dost" — ð¿ðð§ðªð« ðððð§ð¢ð (@DGraphyCreation) January 5, 2020 My respect for you has increased ten folds Bhuvan! Kudos to youu. Other celebs need to learn and speak up. — Gurashish Singh (@gurashish98) January 5, 2020 Love you brother, Now Sanghi will troll you. — à¤à¤à¤¼à¤¾à¤¦ परिà¤à¤¦à¥ (@dostam_comrade) January 5, 2020 Seems like @dostam_comrade knew what to expect, as negative comments did show up. So JNU wale Hindu ke khilaaf aur Bharat le khilaaf kuch bhi bole to sab chup rahe ? Andar ghus ghus ke maro JNU walo ko. Jai Hind ð®ð³ — ak (@cric_eight) January 5, 2020 Although Bhuvan replied with his usual witticism - bringing down an MSD fan who got a little too excited about violently shutting down the protestors. Aapki baaton ko log tabhi seriously lengey jab khud ki photo lagaaoge. Jo aap bol rahe ho usi ko terrorism kehte hain. MSD ka lihaaj karlo kum se kum. — Bhuvan Bam (@Bhuvan_Bam) January 5, 2020 Bhuvan concluded with a final tweet - addressing those who used threats and intimidation to bring him down. Ek tweet ke liye mujhe dhamki di thi phone pe 'Kaat denge tujhe'. Bina security waala middle-class baccha kya karta? Chup raha. Number report kiya. Aaj bhi gaaliyan padh sakti hain. Lekin mujhe mera desh pyaara hai. Imaandaar hoon, insaan hoon. #JNUattack #JaiHind ð®ð³ — Bhuvan Bam (@Bhuvan_Bam) January 5, 2020 (For one tweet I had received a threat from someone, who said, 'Will cut you open'. What can a middle-class kid without security do? I kept quiet. I reported the number. Till date I receive cuss words but I love my country. I am honest. I am human.) View the full article

Every time you open the newspaper, there's a report on crime against a woman, be it sexual or physical. India is slowly regressing towards 'no country for women' and that makes us really sad. But even though you read the word rape ever so often in the Indian context, rape is a global reality and in some countries the number of rapes are as many or more than in India. © Facebook/El Comercio While we blame the authorities for not keeping our surroundings secure, we do know that building a mass movement makes a larger impact than anything else, more than waiting for authorities to implement proper safety measures around the city, which have failed us miserably in the past. That's why on November 20, women protesters came out on to the streets of the city of Santiago, Chile, reciting powerful words of a poem titled 'A Rapist On Your Way'. The women wearing black were blindfolded, all of them wearing lipstick and chanting 'El violador eres tu (The rapist is you).' © Facebook/El Comercio The protest was organised by Las Tesis, a women's collective in Santiago, who got thousands of women together on the streets to start a movement which has today become a global outcry, especially the words of the anthem the women were heard singing which have picked up a grave momentum and have been chanted all over the world. The videos from the protest went viral all over and because India is going through the same situation, reached the ears of our women, and rightfully so! They say empathy during a difficult situation heals everything in time and while there's a long way to go where healing is concerned for the years of subjugation and violence women have undergone, India could heavily relate to the Chilean protest and how! After the Hyderabad rape of the vet, where her body was tormented and burnt and the Unnao rape victim's death recently after she was stabbed and set ablaze, India's outrage will never cease to exist, at least for another decade or so, or till things become better. So, on December 7, 2019, a group of Indian women kept the anthem alive, by getting out on the streets in Delhi's Jantar Mantar, to chant their own version of the Chilean 'A Rapist In Your Way', complete with blindfolds and slogans. Hundreds gathered for a flash mob protest at Jantar Mantar against rapes and the complete breakdown of law to bring justice to rape victim families on a day when #Unnao rape victim, who was brutally burnt, lost her life. #ReporterDiary (@milan_reports) pic.twitter.com/aHs9EYfoiu — India Today (@IndiaToday) December 7, 2019 The Indian chapter was held at Jantar Mantar, Connaught Place at 3pm, and it built enough momentum with people pouring in as and when. Even men joined the slogan, echoing the same sentiment and it was the best form of unity we've seen, where gender roles and biases are concerned in the country. The Indian chapter was titled 'A Rapist in Your Way Intervention India Chapter In Solidarity'. © Facebook/El Comercio The protest aimed to address violence of any form against women in the country and it really fell on deaf ears when everyone was chanting it together. “And the fault wasn't mine, not where I was, not how I dressed And the fault wasn't mine, not where I was, not how I dressed And the fault wasn't mine, not where I was, not how I dressed And the fault wasn't mine, not where I was, not how I dressed The rapist is you. The rapist is you. It's the cops, The judges, The state, The president. The oppressive state is a rapist. The oppressive state is a rapist.” While this poem may not mean anything to a few, it actually is a solid mirror that reflects our society. It's not how women dress, or carry themselves or what they do that 'provoke' the men. It's what they expect from the government and the authorities, when they're helplessly tortured and tormented. And sadly so, the authorities and the government have always failed them. The state has failed them. While 'enough is enough' has also become a popular slogan in the country, casual sexism, oppression and harassment still happen openly all over, apart from more heinous crimes like rape. We aspire to live in a country where women are free to walk, talk, dress, have ***, most importantly, breath and believe in themselves with confidence and a heightened sense of self and that will only happen if we let go of archaic norms from the society and newer ones, where women are respected and cared for, take shape.

Post the deadly Pulwama terror attack, the entire country is left in a state of horror and shock. Over 40 CRPF personnel lost their lives and we're still trying to put the pieces together, all across the country, not sure if they'll fit anymore. But an international humanitarian organisation by the name of 'Khalsa Aid' and some local Gurudwaras and individual Sikhs helped the Kashmiri population who were trying to escape vigilante mob attacks all across the country and we know for sure there is still some faith left in humanity. © Twitter The organisation gave protection, food and shelter to many stranded Kashmiris and helped them reach back safe to their homes in Kashmir. The violence erupted all over North India where many Kahsmiri students were being attacked in retaliation to the attack on the 14th of February and with the help of Khalsa Aid, they've all made it back home safe. © Twitter As a mark of gratitude and in order to thank the Sikh communities, the Kashmiris have now expressed their love for the Sikhs for helping them out in times of need and have offered free services to the Sikhs, namely medical treatments and education and free snow bike rides in Gulmarg. © Twitter So much so, a cartoon caricatured by a Kashmiri cartoonist by the name of Suhail Naqshbandi has gone viral on social media. The sketch depicts a Sikh offering a helping hand to a drowning Kashmiri, narrating the benevolent services and gratitude towards the brotherhood. Sardar means a leader and they lead by example. Hats off to them for being everywhere to help the humanity. @Khalsa_Aid #kashmirisindistress #kashmir pic.twitter.com/H6kUfIVlzk — Suhail Naqshbandi (@hailsuhail) 20 February 2019 The cartoonist tweeted: “Sardar means a leader and they lead by example.

The cartoon was also shared by former Jammu & Kashmir chief ministers Mehbooba Mufti and Omar Abdullah. I salute our Sikh brethren who came to the aid of young Kashmiris all over the country.

After narrating the notorious tale of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar in the first two seasons, and then following it up with an even stronger Season 3 that revolved around his rival Cali cartel, Netflix's popular series 'Narcos' is back with a brand new instalment, 'Narcos: Mexico'. Exclusive footage released by Netflix, ahead of the show's premiere on November 16, identifies the protagonist DEA Agent Camarena and his counterpart Miguel Felix Gallardo, the convicted druglord commonly referred to by his alias as El Padrino ("The Godfather"). The Mexican drug mafia formed the Guadalajara Cartel in the 1980s and was at the helm of all drug trafficking in the country and the corridors along the Mexico–United States border. “I'm more powerful than any other trafficker in the history of Mexico,” he says in the clip. © Netflix The date-announcement trailer told the story of another merciless cartel as the original 'Narcos' seasons. Michael Pena plays the undercover DEA agent while Rogue One's Diego Luna dons Gallardo's shoes. © Netflix It's understood that the streaming service refuses to call it a sequel to the previous seasons. This comes in the wake of the tragic murder of Carlos Munoz Portal, the location scout for the show, and then a lawsuit which was filed by Escobar's family. © Netflix Will they use the same theme song? Will they show agents Javier Peña and Stephen Murphy again? Gotta wait till November 16 it seems.
