Again neighboring India, Pakistan, it is a long-term battle for the legs with a shot is in danger
Over the weekend, the government of India in the South Asian rivals jumped in a cultural war. Maharashtra Chief Minister Narendra Modi, a member of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, a Pakistani agent is a Bollywood film featuring the premiere of an agreement will be discussed on Friday.
Swelling hyper-nationalists such as the intervention of the Pakistan-backed militants after fierce criticism followed weeks of tension, such as 19 Indian soldiers killed in Kashmir, Bollywood Elite last month did not show enough patriotism. First, actors and film technicians Pakistan Film Producers Association is blocked - as a security threat, or at least not enough of them critical of the government - set to work in Bollywood. Four Indian states of Maharashtra in the theater as the owner refused to show that Pakistani agents or hiring crew.
Pakistani film festival and was taken from a banana. India spoke out against a boycott of the movie stars who have been attacked as a traitor. Pakistan Indian movies, music and television were banned response.
Apparently it without interruption "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil a" ( "complex heart") has reached an agreement to permit the weekend to play in the theater. But director Karan Johar, Bollywood in exchange for the promise of a grant of $ 750,000 to fund the welfare of soldiers, Indians, one of the leading figures. Videotape, he promised not to hire any future Pakistani agents. They made it clear that other directors will make similar assignments if they want to take advantage of the talent.
Myakakarathijama encourage this kind, Kashmir against the Indian government has lost the moral authority won a piece. His initial reaction was skillful. Instead of revenge, such as the common lounge around the world urged the government in the capital, regional and diplomatic support marshaled. Even Pakistan, China's main sponsor, initially refused to come to his defense.
At the end of September, a limited retaliatory PR victory away from home, without provoking an escalation of India, Pakistan Army strike. Even after the first call to Bollywood Pakistan relations, the government wisely stayed away, confirming that he has no plans to cancel visas for Pakistani artists.
Little India is the first country jihadist groups in Pakistan, with the support of irrational nationalism and face after being attacked by a fit of frustration is understandable. India and Pakistan's decision to ban the content itself is almost as bright, given its small film industry is sick, lose business.
However, it is easy to see that a lot of the benefits of the cost of the new jingoism in Bollywood. Pakistan cultural links a high-profile but low price slashing gesture. The idea is that the sound engineer or backup singers from Pakistan and India, a handful of security threat is ridiculous. Needless to say that this is a real witch hunt has nothing to strengthen defenses against terrorist attacks in India.
In fact, the opposite is true. Some of the Indians and the Pakistanis to boycott the stubborn manner and largely insulated from communal politics can interact with each other has been closed. They are a fertile exchange, by its very existence, a broad swath of the cultural center to remind both sides are closed.
Some influential voices for pluralism in Pakistani society - - Foreign artistic community seems particularly counterproductive. Indian enemy, "radical Islam" in Pakistan itself, which is what some of the brutal Hindu nationalists in 1947 that divides the two countries is seen as illegitimate. This is strategic thinking as well as non-state terrorism Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed kind of like Kashmir do not spill the blood of the group is not interested in India and Pakistan.
Thinking outside pressure to change, especially if imposed by China could start. Some of Pakistan's efforts to isolate the impact could be global. And, of course, the Army has chosen to bother the Pakistanis so that they can be driven by - but in the end, there is a permanent change will come from. Indian and Pakistani couple, 70-year-old Indian narrative that demonize and destabilize its smaller neighbor, who, instead of targets that will protect them from the campaign reinforces Bollywood.
Open and vibrant society with neighbor India, one of the top undercuts the competition is great. Bollywood has always sell more music. It is a fertile breeding, fluid, confident that embraces modernity rather than to sell a vision of being hired. Think of something that is shorter than that of India and Pakistan.
