What is wrong with Indian Politics?

Giani Zail Singh was a former President. He had Z security. He announced in Delhi - In April 1987, Zail Singh revealed in a press confrence and personaly to Khushwant Singh that "Tomorrow I am going to reveal all the secrets of ‘Bofors scandal’( Indian-Sweden arms deal) and will name all big guns of Indian Politics." However, due to ‘unknown reasons’ he kept quiet and vanished for 7 years. He stayed away from press, public and private appearance.

After May 21, 1992( first death anniversary of India's former prime minister), he gave hints of revealing the names again, however, he mysteriously vanished again for two years.

Finally, on November 29 1994, when he announced the press that he will reveal all the “secrets and scandals of Bofors deal upon reaching Chandigarh”…

His bullet proof car( protocol for all former presidents and prime ministers) was hit by a speeding truck. Coincidentally, his Z security was reduced that day, coincidentally, his ambulance( again a protocol for the caravan of supreme leaders) was parked miles away, coincidentally, the truck was speeding on the wrong side, coincidentally, Sukhjinder singh, the truck driver, was released a week after and never found

What are some interesting facts about Indian people?

 The Wizard of field hockey Major Dhyan Chand.

​
​
​
​
​
Born on 29th August 1905 in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India ;
Dhyan Chand is widely considered to be the best hockey player of all time.
Here are some interesting facts about him :

1. Dhyan Chand joined the British Indian Army at the age of 16 as a sepoy and took up hockey while he was still enrolled. Since he used to practice a lot during the late night hours, he was given the nickname "Chand" by his fellow players; his practice sessions at night coincided with the coming out of the moon. ‘Chand’ means moon in Hindi.

2. As a young boy he loved Wrestling, but destiny had already set a bigger role for him.

3. German dictator Adolf Hitler offered Dhyan Chand German citizenship and a position in the German Military, after an impressive showing at the Berlin Olympics. The offer was declined by the Indian magician.
(Not sure about this one )

4.The fear of Dhyan Chand’s marvellous game play forced the officials in Netherlands to break his hockey stick to check if there was a magnet inside.

5. In 1936, Dhyan Chand lost a tooth when he collided with German goal keeper Tito Warnholtz.

6.Dhyan Chand helped India in earning three Olympic gold medals (1928, 1932 and 1936), and has scored over 400 goals in his career spanning 22 years (1926-48).

7. After India’s first match at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, people watching other sporting events thronged to the hockey stadium. A German newspaper carried a banner headline: 'The Olympic complex now has a magic show too.' The whole city of Berlin had posters: “Visit the hockey stadium to watch the Indian magician Dhyan Chand in action.

8. Dhyan Chand was the leading goal-scorer at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics with 14 goals. A news report about India’s victory said “This is not a game of hockey, but magic. Dhyan Chand is, in fact, the magician of hockey.”

9. In the 1932 Summer Olympics, India beat USA 24-1 and Japan 11-1. Dhyan Chand scored 12 goals while his brother Roop Singh netted 13 out of the 35 goals India scored. This led to them being dubbed the 'Hockey Twins'.

10. His birthday, 29th August, is celebrated as the National Sports Day in India and the President gives away awards such as Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, Arjuna and Dronacharya awards on this day.

11. Dhyan Chand was honored with Padma Bhushan in 1956.

12. Dhyan Chand Award is given by the Ministry Of Youth Affairs and Sports, Govt. Of India for lifetime achievement in the field of sports and games. The award was initiated in 2002.

13. Dhyan Chand’s son Ashok Dhyan Chand scored an important goal in the 1975 Kuala Lumpur Hockey World Cup to win the Gold Medal in a match against Pakistan.

This hockey legend has made India proud with his achievements,
but the sad part is despite of being the best he has not been awarded with Bharat Ratna.

What are some examples of films in India that sparked major controversy and how were they handled?

 Bhakta Vidhur (1921): The First Movie That Was Banned In India Because The Main Character Resembled Mahatma Gandhi. Britishers showed their ‘loyality’ towards Gandhi

The first film in Indian Film ever to face a ban is 'Bhakta Vidur' in 1921. When the film was first shown to the heads of administration, they quickly picked that the actor playing the character of Vidur in it has appeared exactly like Mahatma Gandhi.

In this film, Vidur was played by actor Dwarka Das Nana Das Sampat and he also wore the same clothes as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. The government believed that these films could create resentment among people. So the censor board banned the film saying "We know what you are doing. It is not Vidur. We cannot allow it to be released."

The film was made just after the strict “Rowlatt Act” was taken into action by the Britishers. This act legally a d morally allowed the British to arrest Indians without a trial.

A a result, the makers and characters of the film were arrested and were temporary banned for making or acting in films. The film was never shown in India on a large scale, but you could see many theatre acts all over India, ofcourse, after many modifications.
