Default Re: Bollywood and the Indian Muslims

Has anyone seen 'Dhokka'? Sure, it's about jihadists and terrorists, but the central character is a Muslim police detective who remains loyal to India. However, I don't know whether this film was meant as a reflection of changing attitudes in and of Indian Muslims, or was simply presenting an ideal that Indian Muslims should follow. I thought it was pretty sympathetic towards Muslims though, as it portrayed 'Islamic' terrorism as the product of constant oppression and brutality at the hands of the Hindu-dominated authorities.

I like Syed Ali Mujtaba's writing...
