In utter contrast, one should see the recent “A Wednesday” – seriously good one.

I don’t usually comment on Bollywood movies but I wonder if you have seen Dhaoka.

The movie seemed to justify terrorism. It portrayed the terrorists as acting out of some personal extreme injustice done to them by the Indian Government.

The female suicide bomber had been raped by Indian Police Officers after they killed her father. The other terrorist in the movie was her brother.

I am certainly not saying that people don’t suffer such extreme personal injustices but I do believe that it doesn’t really reflect the profile of most terrorists.

If the villains who did this bombing are caught I am almost positive that you would not find any extreme unjustice in their background. Sure they would feel some general sense of “unjustice” done to “their people” but as for something personal happening to them or a family member like in Dhoka, you most likely will not find that. That has been the case in Israel with the suicide bombers there. Usually there was no personal injustice done to them except for a more general sense of victimhood. It wasn’t because the bomber was raped or father killed or child was killed, etc, etc.

What bothers me is as long as terrorists are falsely portrayed as victims as they were in this movie, Indians will not have the necessary focus needed to defeat this evil.
