'The Kashmir Files' is a manipulative propaganda vehicle to rouse emotions against Muslims

Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is emerging as the favorite filmmaker of the BJP and has received the party’s full support. By – Sidharth Bhatia Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will (1935), on the Nazi Party congress attended by 700,000 supporters in Nuremberg, is said to be one of the greatest documentaries ever made. It is a masterclass not just in cinema, but also in propaganda, as it shows the idealised version of German manhood – blonde, blue-eyed, fit – and the impeccable organisational skills of Nazi Germany.

Fake Story: 'The Kashmir Files' is far from truth claims Omar Abdullah

The National Conference on Friday broke its silence on ‘The Kashmir Files’ and said the movie was far from the truth as the movie makers have ignored the sacrifices of the Muslims and Sikhs who had also suffered from militancy. Vice-president of the party and former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah said that if ‘The Kashmir Files’ is a commercial movie, no one has an issue, but if the filmmakers claim that it is based on reality, then the facts are the other way round. “When the…

Tulip Festival: Early flower bloom at Tulip Garden Srinagar

Kashmir is witnessing increasingly hot weather at this time of the spring season, bringing cheers to floriculturists who expect an early bloom at the Tulip Garden in Srinagar. The day temperatures in Kashmir are hovering around 25ºC, some 9-10 degrees above normal, for the past at least three days. The rise in temperature is considered good for the early blooming of flowers meant for ornamentation and tourism, but bad for horticulture as it impacts the quality of fruits owing to fluctuating temperatures, experts say.

PM and GoI must rise above 'Petty politics and Propaganda films': Asaduddin Owaisi

AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday said PM Modi and the government must rise about their petty politics and propaganda films, criticising defence minister Rajnath Singh’s statement in the Rajya Sabha concerning the accidental missile-firing which landed in Pakistan.

Do…
