KICK THEM OUT
Believe it or not, even the film industry which is essentially a trade of giving entertainment to the masses, is now being poisoned by the communalists. Sometime back we had written about the malicious manner in which Producer Mehboob's "Humayun" was being advertised in .Bombay. Our remarks in these columns seemed to have had a salutary effect seeing that Mehboob immediately topped his offensive propaganda.
Now Nalini Kumar, a reader from Agra, sends us a utting from the "Dawn" of the 28th November advertising the pisture "Bisvi Sadi", produced by Mohan Bhavnani who cannot be suspected of being a communalist b\ the widest stretch of imagination. We reproduce the ad vertisement below:
HELPLESS PREGNANT WOMAN EXPELLED BY A HINDU SHE IS RESCUED BY A MUSALMAN
SEE THE HEIGHT OF MUSLIM CHARACTER

The picture has been running at the "Minerva" in iDelhi and this precious advertisement is evidently the work either of the local distributor or of the exhibitor or of both. Whoever is responsible for.rh.is offensive piece of propaganda, he has done a dirty job looking at the problem both from the industrial and the national viewpoints.
The advertisement is a crude and obvious attempt to run down the Hindus and put up the Muslims. Character is a human virtue and both the Hindus and the Muslims have equal access to it, for that matter all the human races lean claim the privilege of possessing some character, be ithey English. German. Japanese or Americans. And yet this dirty advertisement tells us that the Muslim charae'er stands supreme because a Mussalman rescues a pregnant woman thrown out by a Hindu. Can political perversion go further ?
Motion picture stories are written round several aspects of human life and behaviour. The writers rarely think in terms o£ comrnunalism. They usually struggle to portray the human story. It is quite likely that "Bisvi Sadi" has an unfortunate incident as described in the above advertisement. But Producer Mohan Bhavnani did not put the incident in the story to provide the Muslim communalists with an opportunity to do some dirty political propaganda.
Such incidents are often seen in motion pictures. If motion pictures are intended to portray real life, one can not avoid the Hindus and the Muslims clashing or cooperating in several stories. The general pattern of life in India is mainly made up of the Hindus and the Muslims and screen writers cannot avoid one without missing the other.
In "Zcenat", a social story of Muslim life, produced by Shiraz All Hakim, a Muslim producer and directed by Shaukat Hussein, a Muslim director, the pregnant Muslim
Sir Homi Modv, Chairman of R. W. I. Turf Club, is evidently discussing form with Baburao Pate] and Sushila Rani in the paddock at the Bombay Races.
