Vivek Agnihotri Captivated audience in AMC Theatre, Detroit on 7th August Whenever the history of Bollywood will be written, of course not by the likes of Romila Thapar or Irfan Habib, but by someone like Dr. Vikram Sampath or Dr. Minaxi Jain, it will be in two parts. Bollywood in Pre-Vivek Agnihotri times and Bollywood in Post-Vivek Agnihotri times. By the way, Agnihotri is a Samskrit word, meaning someone who initiates the Yagna & who maintains it. Using his Viveka-buddhi, he has truly lived up to his family name. Embedded with absolute raw shaurya and dhairya that he has demonstrated all these years in making such thought-provoking powerful movies, against thousands of odds and even at the threat to his life, he chose to swim against the strong anti-Hindu currents of the Bollywood streams. This also shows he is like a lotus flower, which is born in the water or mud but does not get ever affected by it. Because technically, even though he may be a part of...

Introduction We never had a time, as we have now, throwing a challenge to the Hindus across the entire world to prove that it is serious about their identity as well as survival. There never was such a crisis for Hindus before. During the thousand odd years, Hindus were attacked, skinned, burnt alive, forcefully and deceitfully converted, Hindu women were dishonored, the properties of Hindus were taken away, their Mandirs were desecrated and destroyed. But, Hindus never caved in, even though there were some traitors. Many of our Brahmanas as well as Kings/Queens along with a large part of civilians never gave up fighting. Today, we see this not.
