Stop telling Sharmeens and Adigas to photoshop reality

                                                 
Here is my response to the article given as a part of online discussion. to read full article👉 click here
                                                         Truth wins: The buzz around Sharmeen’s film has prompted Nawaz Sharif to say that the practice of honour killings in Pakistan should come to an end
People who belongs to East or say Third world country would like to do postcolonial study, because once they were colonized by British People, so whenever they will come up with something written about backwardness of India, people will feel offended. Nowadays feeling offended became a national hobby. People will love the book which sings the songs of the glory or beauty of India but they will raise their eyebrows when Writer like Arvind Adiga writes something which represents dark side of India. People criticized the movie Slum dog millionaire and government of India tried to put ban on documentary on Nirbhaya by Leslee Udwin. Main argument about both movie and documentary was that it was made by white person who will see only bad things, then what about the writers who belongs to same land and for them there is different India. People don’t want to confront reality that is the main predicament.

As Micheal J Fox said “Acceptance doesn’t mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there’s got to be a way through it”. As writer of this article rightly said that “Of course western interest can be narrow in its focus and agenda driven. But whose is not? tell our stories truthfully And if we find that these stories shame us, then we must do something about them. But for those of us still fixated on the ‘image’ issue, it’s quite simple really: you want better PR? Improve the product.” I completely agree with her words.
