I found this through a simple Google search:<br /><br />The representation of the sequence of events leading up to the<br />decision to screen Sanjay Kak's film `Jashn-e-Azadi' at Kamla Nehru<br />College on the 24th of August 2007 has created an unseemly<br />controversy. I refer to a posting on the Sarai Reader list by Rashneek<br />Kher which states that the organization, Roots in Kashmir (RIK) had<br />approached Kamla Nehru College to screen a film `And the World<br />Remained Silent' and had indeed been "given permission to screen the<br />movie on the 24th of August at 2.30 pm." He goes on to add that it was<br />at the behest of Sanjay Kak that their screening was cancelled and a<br />screening of `Jashn-e-Azadi' was scheduled in its place.<br /><br />As visiting faculty in the Dept of Journalism in Kamla Nehru College<br />and the person who suggested that we organize a screening of<br />Jashn-e-Azadi, the sequence of events, as I know them, leading upto<br />the decision to screen Sanjay Kak's film are at complete variance with<br />what Rashneek Kher has suggested in his posting. The sequence of<br />events merits a renarration.<br /><br />As part of our effort to use audio- visual material in the classroom<br />to initiate a discussion and debate around issues and the way they are<br />represented and encourage a process of critical thought, I had<br />suggested to the Teacher-in-Charge of the Wideangle film society of<br />the college that we schedule a screening of Jashn-e-Azadi.<br />Accordingly, Sanjay Kak was invited to screen his film in the college.<br /><br />I was quite disturbed when I read the `sequence of events' detailed<br />in Rashneek Khers posting, suggesting that a prior commitment had been<br />made by the college to screen their film on the 24th of August 2007<br />which the college reneged on. I spoke with the teacher-in-charge to<br />confirm if that indeed was the case. I was told quite categorically<br />that , while the college had received a request for the screening of<br />`And the World Remained Silent', it had in no way committed to a<br />particular date for the screening and so the question of cancelling a<br />scheduled screening of `And the World Remained Silent' to accomodate<br />Sanjay Kak's film just didnt arise!<br /><br />Sanjay Muttoo<br /><br />via: http://mail.sarai.net/pipermail/reader-list/2007-August/010008.htmlShivam Vijhttp://kafila.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234809105893716507.post-39056170724209285712011-01-09T12:29:29.794+05:302011-01-09T12:29:29.794+05:30How are imbeciles like Sanjay Kak and Sheikh Sajja...How are imbeciles like Sanjay Kak and Sheikh Sajjad whatsitsname (ref. comments above) even allowed to spew their nonsense into the public domain?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234809105893716507.post-3270525227626253162007-08-28T15:23:00.000+05:302007-08-28T15:23:00.000+05:30now something new has come about.That this Sanjay ...now something new has come about.That this Sanjay Kak has lied to the Courts.if this is indeed true,he should be in Jail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234809105893716507.post-12269914005666385802007-08-27T17:42:00.000+05:302007-08-27T17:42:00.000+05:30There is no doubt in any one's mind how Kak is car...There is no doubt in any one's mind how Kak is carrying out propoganda for JKLF's Yasin Malik.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234809105893716507.post-25725852948968982572007-08-27T15:07:00.000+05:302007-08-27T15:07:00.000+05:30I am not a Kashmiri,but I have seen both movies.I ...I am not a Kashmiri,but I have seen both movies.I know Kashmiris are suffering,both Hindus as well as Muslims.Although Kak's movie is propogandish in nature but partly true as well.<BR/>So is And the World remained silent.It is time we look at problems from a human perspective and then only can we have solutions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234809105893716507.post-78795994998857877242007-08-27T14:34:00.000+05:302007-08-27T14:34:00.000+05:30Do what you like,his movie is doing well.You Pandi...Do what you like,his movie is doing well.You Pandits have always been like this.<BR/>Thats why we kicked you out of Kashmir.Good now,die hereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234809105893716507.post-70115611589795615252007-08-27T14:32:00.000+05:302007-08-27T14:32:00.000+05:30You did the right thing by going to Police.We must...You did the right thing by going to Police.We must follow the law and not act like VHP and Bajrang Dal activists.Good job done RIK ...I know he has put one of your activists name of his blog.<BR/>Dont care about that.Right now he is perplexed.he can go to any lengths.I just hope you guys are not attacked by Yasin MalikAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234809105893716507.post-77068332341623039002007-08-27T14:29:00.000+05:302007-08-27T14:29:00.000+05:30This is really sad that people of Sanjay Kak's sta...This is really sad that people of Sanjay Kak's stature have stooped so low.<BR/>Is he afraid of kids?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6234809105893716507.post-72262784441438389712007-08-27T13:02:00.000+05:302007-08-27T13:02:00.000+05:30I wont reveal my name.I am a Kashmiri muslim..In m...I wont reveal my name.I am a Kashmiri muslim..In my opinion Pandits and Muslims should talk between themselves.People like Kak only divide the communities.The need of the hour was a more concilatory movie rather than this inflammatory one.<BR/>Though it is true what he has shown about us,but about Pandits he has been grossly wrong.<BR/>I know this blog and his blog are generating a lot of debate by we must keep go-betweens like him away.He works for someone ....and if I say it..I will be killed.<BR/>hope to see Pandits back in valley...most of the silent majority loves u...but we cant speak out..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
