THE New Year brings "Padosi" to the Indian screen. The word "Padosi" means "The Neighbours."
Though primarily "Padosi" is a picture for entertainment, it has a vibrant message to dehver to minions in India. The message i^old. It is inherent in the existence of man since Time began. But nearly two thousand years ago it was given a divine purpose by Christ in the immortal Commandment "Love Thy Neighbour As Thyself."
Barring the pious folks, no one cared for this command of the Lord in the West. Through centuries the white man has shed the blood of his brother to pursue selfish ambitions. To enable him to do so more thoroughly he has commandeered the services of the coloured people, firstly, by enslaving them, secondly, by exploiting them and thirdly, by forcing them to an unwilling abetment of crime against humanity.
And yet that immortal command of the Lord "Love Thy Neighbour As Thyself" rings through ages reminding humanity of its divine duty towards a fellow human being.
That message of Jesus Christ is needed more to-day than ever when man lives on man in the most brutal way, mind and intellect can invent.
We see wars and wrecks, bombs and bloodshed and we count the deaths and casualties. From day to day we are posted with the score of killings — a shameful record of human brutality. But this is not the only carnage that man can inflict on man. In multiple other ways man strains his intelligence to invent new methods of torturing his neighbour.

Traditions, culture, progress, education, civilization— these have merely remained meaningless words where human greed has stepped in and man has made himself a monster to destroy his neighbour.
In our country, blessed with peace and love for thousands of years, invaders from time to time brought germs of conflict and quarrel and the neighbourhood that was once a blessing has often turned into a curse.
With the foreign rulers in full sway our country is divided the same way — Muslims in one quarter and the Hindus in another — the one looking at the other with suspicion. Both the brothers want to meet in an embrace of reconciliation, but it pays the foreigner, sitting on the fence, to keep them apart.
To meet its own selfish ends the foreign plough has made deep furrows in the once sunny fields of neighbourhood and sown seeds of distrust, hatred and suspicion which yield only a crop of communal discontent, rash political ambitions and fratricidal feud.
When two brothers fight, no one wins. The victor and the vanquished both lose. It is the
