it is the hindus fanatic priests n people like terrorist bal thackare narenda modi and lal kishan advani who spread venom in the name of religion to kill and murder muslims, so if such people are terminated then their will be no hatered amongst muslims and hindus who have lived in india for centuries
Visi Tilak... is expressing an age old truth...Love conquers all...My issue and question continues to be
"Since God, has 1,0000s of names, the least of which is "Love" and Love/God Conquers All...When does humankind begin to love self and one another for God/Love's Sake???
I'm very happily married. However if I had to Re-marry, as long as I did not have to touch or smell Alcohol(the kind that You drink) and he doesn't have a problem with my eating of beef and lamb,and my practice of Jummah and Ramadan~~~~I think that this would make him a very Muslim like Hindu.~~~~Muslim Female+ Hindu Male=A Big Challange
i do not know what the gentleman wa refering to when he mentioned Naredra modi. he must be somehwere else when the muslims backed by misaraf in pakistan were creating problems in gujarat. being a Cm, should mr. modi take their crap like Nehru and the congreee party and do nothing. we the ciitizen of india back N. mody in what he di and is doing. as the world can see there are not that many incidents in Gujarat anymore and everybody is help be they be hindu or muslim.
I loved the movie.. Made a lot of sense. God is God whatever name you choose to call him/her/it... And which ever path you choose to follow, all eventually leads to God..
I must congratulate Mr Ashutosh Gourikar over the wonderful job accomplished in making 'Jodha-Akbar'. I have watched the movie as an unbiased person and I must say that I am very much impressed with it. From A to Z every thing was planned and executed very meticulously and marvelously. He chose a difficult job; but very well done. The movie has succeeded in projecting a correct image of the Emperor Akbar in achieving a fair play, justice and religious harmony. In my opinion the movie deserves an Oscar.
I do agree that Mr Ashutosh Gowarikar has tackled and conquered a very difficult subject indeed. He has managed to show that love between two individuals can exist regardless of religion and that Muslims and Hindus can and did live in harmony once upon a time. Also, just like Jalalludin learned from his wife and vice versa, in marriage we should realize that there is alot we can learn from our partner. The movie was a true gem indeed.
