From which country are you standing with the UAE today?

What A. R. Rahman said about Chhaava reveals more about India’s cultural politics than about the film itself. Rahman’s core claim isn’t that he’s banned or boycotted. It’s subtler: Bollywood’s power structure has changed, creativity has taken a backseat, and Chhaava felt “divisive” because it “cashed in on tensions” even while honouring bravery. Here’s the problem. Chhaava isn’t built on invention or provocation. Sambhaji vs Aurangzeb is not a contemporary political construct. It appears in Maratha bakhars, Persian court chronicles like the Maasir-i-Alamgiri, and later colonial historiography. This conflict was recorded by both sides of history. It predates modern India, electoral politics, and today’s culture wars. Labeling such history “divisive” is not a neutral judgment it’s a political framing. It implies that remembering resistance is less legitimate than remembering devotion; that naming conquest is more dangerous than romanticising harmony. Notice the asymmetry: Indian history is welcomed when it is abstract, symbolic, or safely spiritual. It becomes “problematic” only when it names power, violence, and Hindu resistance. This reflex didn’t emerge organically. It was shaped post Independence by elite cultural gatekeeping that treated civilisational memory as combustible and silence as virtue. The result? Generations trained to believe that historical clarity equals communal trouble. So when a film refuses to soften Sambhaji into metaphor or Aurangzeb into abstraction, the alarm goes off: divisive, polarising, dangerous. That discomfort isn’t about religion. It’s about memory …. unsanitised, unashamed memory. A society that cannot distinguish between hatred and historical recall will keep mistaking truth for tension and forgetting for peace.

"SANGHI!" That’s what they call me now! My so-called “progressive” circle mocks anyone who speak of nation, merit or duty. Modi didn’t radicalise me. Their hypocrisy did. I became a Sanghi when I saw what 'progressivism' really stood for! Watch: youtu.be/3SYHXsjGZC8?si…

#WATCH | Ayodhya Dhwajarohan | PM Modi and RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat ceremonially hoist the saffron flag on the Shikhar of the sacred Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Temple, symbolising the completion of the temple’s construction. The right-angled triangular flag, measuring 10 feet in height and 20 feet in length, bears the image of a radiant Sun symbolising the brilliance and valour of Bhagwan Shri Ram, with an ‘Om’ inscribed on it along with the image of the Kovidara tree.
