To entertain people and through entertainment lead them gently to a better national life.
NAZIR HUSSAIN (Shikarpur)
How will Indian producers be treated in Free India?
/ am afraid they will be treated kindly.
Actually many of them deserve to be flogged. A. KUMAR (Mussoorie)
If a young writer wants to give his story for picturizatiun to a studio, the lad is duped. They first ask you for the synopsis. When you send the >ynopsis, it is copied and returned with a curt note saying that the synopsis is useless for screen purposes. This sort of double-crossing is rampant in our studios. Can you tell me why?
Are you telling me something new? I shall
be shocked the day someone comes and tells
me that all this did not happen.
K. M. KAPADIA (Bombay)
What is the best solution you would suggest to end this bloody communal problem?
A fresh census of India counting only males and females as Indians without describing them as Hindus, Muslims, Christians etc. A State law guaranteeing lucrative employment to people who inter-mory forgetting religious barriers. Closing down public temples, mosques and churches and establishing them in every home. This will make religion an individual virtue rather than a community racket. Abolishing separate electorates and granting adult franchise. Xationalizing all big industries and in the remaining ones compelling the capitalists to give 50% of their profits to the workers.
Throwing off the thin camouflage of democracy and declaring a Republic of India. Scrapping by a legislation all communal labels from political, commercial, religious, social, relief and other organizations. Making the peasants work instead of looking up at the sky and waste time in idleness. Stripping the state princes of all their wealth and sending them to some workhouse. Utilizing all the accumulated wealth o) the princes for a nation-wide reconstruction plan. Bleeding Birias, Dalmias, Tatas and using their "yellow plasma" for national purposes.
Imposing a tax on all unemployed and idle people and making their relations pay the same. There are a thousand other plans I have got, including the mass murder of our film producers, but they must wait till I become the President of the Indian Republic.
