Harder it gets when you try to study local properties easier it becomes when you make general statements. I have problem with accepting a certain rule and follow it totally. If I have to follow rules then why not many rules and if I dont want to follow rules then why dont I follow no rules. The act of geralising is a in herent property of human mind. Following the arguements of J Krishnamurty it can be shown that theory making and generalising is an act of human mind , the biological system always deal with the present and local situation. We dont sometime acknowledge this fact in our working sphere and also we dont fall in love with our biology , what we tend to do is to find a beautiful mind. Generalising is always the most natural thing and the easiest step, since you are just using the knowledge of past and trying to make safe mechanism. It is this study of local things which is difficult as it deals with new things, it is in one way follwos the laws of nature and another way follows the rule of biological satisfaction and it never declares anyone as a winner. In Indian philosophy there were many attempts of generalising, looking closely to them you can find out that they always produced failed results. The caste system, the Vedas, the moral conducts. It can be shown the act of generalising is nothing but creating anew branch of superstitions. But then, unlike other civilisations Indian civilisation had this property of billion different ideas at a time civilisation. People complain that it makes everything very slow in India, but i ask them how long normally a biological decision takes ? Those more than billion cells of our body at any given time has different aspiration and our biological decisions are always a democratic decision taken after considering all those aspirations. Dont we function properly.
The main idea of this blog is rather non philosophical in nature and it talks about the different cinematic expressions of past or contemporary Indian cinema. Like anything about India, Indian cinematic expressions are like an ocean. This way it starts making itself distant from all the other types existing cinema of this world. The outside India world, which for me looks very small and ridiculously malinformed, never tried to grasp this reality as it is beyond their capacity of acceptance of truth. It can be proved that all the forms of discrmination hatred negative propaganda faced by the Indians from outside India elements has a deep root in their failure of understanding this ocean like pluralism. So some of them try to point out the non pluralist approach of Indian system to forget other apsects of the system and osme of them points it out as just total chaos , which is a part and parcel of uncivilized third world society. I am very skeptical about the word called civilization, and never fail to point out the fact that the sense of the word and the use of the word is not same at any point of time. The ntion of singularism is very prominent in western world, specially england france and germany. A small remark : Idol worship also comes from this lack of pluralism ( the civilized idol worship : like the british or french way of worshipping their so called great men, or communists worshipping Marx, bengalis (post colonial hangover) worshipping tagore . ). Anyway I read a comment of Mr Danny Boyle about Indian film making and british film making. He said the way they make films in England is completely different from Indian way, as their style is complete realism. Now whoever has seen slumdog will agree that the realism used in that movie is nota grim one, otherwise it wouldnt have got so many oscars. It is this magic realism that struck chord with the oscar jury. But , hey Boyle have you seen Jaane bhi do Yaaro, have you seen bari theke paliye, have you seen anything outside the western movie world ? I dont have much time now to write a complete list of genres of Indian cinematic expressions, nor do I wish to do so. I just want to keep my eyes open and use my biology to study the local properties , the way for thousand years my ancestors used their senses to deconstruct their world.
